• SharePoint Products and Technologies Help with workflow approach?

  I'm trying to wrap my head around this problem and how to properly approach a solution using Sharepoint workflow.  Any input would be greatly appreciated. The current business process I'm trying to model is as follows.  We have a paper form named Print Shop Work Request.  When someone needs copies made they fill out this form and interoffice mail it down to our print shop.  The originals are either emailed or included with the inter office mailing.  The print shop fulfills the request and delivers the final product to the customer. I would like to model this process using Sharepoint Designer and workflow.  I've actually already attempted to implement the solution but I find it lacking a little bit.& ...Show All

• Windows Forms Problem adding files to deployment project.

  I am having problems adding text files (xml) to a deployment project. I check out the deployment project and try to add a file (from both the File System View and the Solution Explorer). I select the desired file from the Add File dialog and click Open. The Add File dialog closes and nothing happens. In the past I found when I observed this behavior I had to make sure the file I was trying to add was writable so I would check it out from the source control (I am using ClearCase) and I would be able to add the file. Now this doesn't seem to make a difference, no matter what I do, the Add File dialog closes and nothing happens. I have not seen any sort of error message anywhere obvious. I can add project outputs, but not files. Has anyone se ...Show All

• Visual C# Return information from a method

  Can someone explain how to determine if a method needs a void or a return. I know that void represents a method not returning a value, but it looks like a method is returning information even when using a void keyword. From the C# step by step book private void showResult( int answer ) { result.Text = answer.ToString(); } Isn't the method above returning information to whatever calls it Thanks No, it is not. In C# there are only two ways for a method to return data: - Through the function return value. - Through an argument passed with the 'out' or 'ref' keywords. Neither is used in your sample function. ...Show All

• .NET Development Comma in command line agument of console application.

  Hi All, I have written a console application in C# and it works fine except for the following: I want to pass as an argument an expression that has commas in it, in my case a user distinguished name for and active directory or nds tree (i.e.: cn=myUser,ou=apps,ou=services,o=myOrg) but wnat it to be treated as one piece. The app doesn't look at this as a single string but as 4. How would we type in the argument as on piece, bearing in mind that there could be different user dns with more or less hierarchy (# of commas) Is there a way to escape commas in a dos window Thanks, BIG Hi, By default the runtime won't break up command line ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to Add .cs test into a Load Test scenario?

  I used Code Generator to generate the C# code for a Web Test. I want to run a load test based on the C# test scripts. However, when creating a load test project, I found the load test wizard did not allow me to add a test that is C# based. How could I make this work or, VS does not accept .cs test scripts at all. Thank you You can added "Coded Web Tests" to a load test. A coded web test should be available in the test selector dialog displayed by the load test wizard. Please double check your project to make sure the coded web test is in your project. Does the coded web test show up in the "Test View" window Thanks, Rick ...Show All

• SQL Server Force Column to Repeat Across Page

  I am creating my first SQL report in Visual Studio through the Business Intelligence Report Wizard. I need to duplicate and old (8.0) Crystal Report that seemed really simple but I am having trouble figuring out two things in SQL Report Writer: I am querying a list of Order Numbers by date which is prompted for. This results in one really long column of Order Numbers. The old Crystal Report had five columns across the page. Where can I tell SQL report to keep listing the data to the right when it hits the end of the page instead of just going to a new page Secondly, the old Crystal Report assigned an incremented number to each order number 1, 2, 3 etc... This was not part of the query and I can't figure out how the old report did this or ...Show All

• Visual Basic Visual Basic and a Database, very basic questions...

  Im doing a bit of research at the moment. Im creating a basic inventory system for a friend of mine, and for a class project all roled into one. It does inventory control, customer information, etc. The software I create will eventually be installed onto other peoples computers. Their "database" will be on their machine, accessable only to them. I will need to do very basic queries to the database, insert new data, update data, maybe a few triggers, etc. So I dont need a full blown database software like oracle or postgresql... I would like to not have the end user need to install a database program, just my program (and any dll files/whatever else..). I have Visual Studios 2005. Is there something I can use here Or w ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System To exclude or not to exclude!

  Hi, I have been using FxCop for a couple of weeks now and I often find myself with a dilemma whether to exclude a message or not. The reason being is that it seems that some messages are aimed at people who developer libraries/controls for public consumption. This is not my situation the product is stand alone and will never be used as a library. A couple of errors spring to mind: DoNotExposeGenericLists and CollectionPropertiesShouldBeReadOnly. I just feel that there are situation where the usage of the assembly effects the decision whether to exclude the message or not and maybe some comments in the docs to give guidance would help I would be interested in your thoughts on this matter as I a ...Show All

• Windows Forms Sorting a Data-Bound DGV by a non data bound column

  Ok i have two problems to implement this I lose my non-data-bound values if user clicks on a data-bound column to sort example : (first column non-data-bound, second and third ones are data-bound) ID Price Type 1 3000 $ 2 2500 € 3 4500 $ If user sorts by Price or Type -i dont know why- all the values in my ID column becomes null (it has to do with my ID column being non-data-bound probably) I'm looking for a solution to help me keep the data in my "ID" column when a user sorts other columns. Also Sort doesn't work on my ID column too (probably because of the data getting deleted when i sort) when mixing bound and unbound data, use virtual mod ...Show All
