• Visual Basic Need Basic Ibformation on Using Arrays.

  Hi, I'm working on a project to draw shapes on the screen (straight lines), using MouseDown event, saving the co-ordinates, and inserting them into an Sql table. My thoughts are to save the co-ordinates into an array and then write them to the table. Problem is I have had no experience using arrays. The examples shown in MSDN seem to assume some basic knowledge which I lack. Practically all I can do is initialise an array like Dim arrow(3) As Int32. To hold 4 co-ordinates. as startpoint (X,Y) and Endpoint (X1,Y1). I I need to know how to get these co-ordinates into the array, and then how to write them to an Sql database. The Insert Sql statement is no problem for me. The other point of the exercise is to be assured that ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Create and Attach Custom Behavior to Client and Service in Web.Config

  I am trying to create a custom message inspector and attach them to the client and service. I was able to create the Behaviors successfully, but am not sure how to attach it to using the config file. I have a ClientMessage inspector and a server message inspector class. I created a BehaviorExtensionElement for the service side as given below: public class ServerMessageInspectorBehaviorSection : BehaviorExtensionElement { public override Type BehaviorType{ get { return this .GetType(); } } protected override Object CreateBehavior(){ return new ServerMessageInspector (); } } Is this right and Do I have to create another one for the Client. If yes Will it be almost the same. Then I ...Show All

  I want to create a menu game component like the one in Mitch Walker's video (http://blogs.msdn.com/xna/archive/2006/08/31/734204.aspx) on the XNA team blog. I got a hardcoded menu working but how do I make it that the developer can add menu items from the property window in Visual Studio like in the video Hi Andre, Thanks for your code. I was doing the same thing as you were after seeing Mitch video, in creating a Menu component for the program I'm writing. It will be interesting to see how many 100s of variations of this component will be produced. Could you update your code to add in keyboard/mouse functionality as not everyone will have a GamePad. Cheers. ...Show All

• SQL Server GUI in SQL Server?

  My question is obvious. Can you create a GUI in SQL Server, or am I having a VB moment Hi, the help, which you are requesting is called the BOL (Books Online) It includes every help topic about SQL Server. The BOl can be also doenloaded seperately from Microsoft.com: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyID=BE6A2C5D-00DF-4220-B133-29C1E0B6585F&displaylang=en You can insert data in the tables using TSQL code and the query interfaces, the Admin GUI (which should not be the end-user interface :-) ) and the client libraries and custom application which can be custom coded. If you have SQL Server Express (and did not download the Advanced Edition), you probably don’t have an Admin GUI, but this is also no problem, as ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums vba create and add a macro for excel programmatically

  Hi all I am currently traying to introduce into an excel spreadsheet a macro programatically. I have found examples on the net but they dont seem to work or they are for VB and not VBA. I was wondering perhaps someone knows how. I am currently generating many the excel spreasheets from through access vba. I am stuck when adding the macro to the sheets. They just dont seem to be there even though i save the data. Here are two examples i tried. The first one is VB so not a chance it will work but the second should and it doesnt. It does not give any errors or nothing. The excel sheets are created but no macro! hmmm EXAMPLE 1 myWrkb.VBProject.VBComponents.Add 1 'vbext_ct_StdModuleWith myWrkb.VBProject.VBComponents myWrkb.VBProje ...Show All

• SQL Server NEWBY question - filtering dates

    Im not sure how to explain this or if this is the correct forum but here it goes. I have created a report from a view that gives me court hearing dates on a defendent.  When I run the report/view I get two different dates for the person such as, 12/14/2006 and 12/15/2006.  How can I get it to show only the later date (12/15/2006)   I pull information from a mainframe that almost always gives me 2 different dates, but we only need the most recent date.

• SQL Server Managing PK/FK Relationships with the Tools

  Ah, why doesn't SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) or Visual Studio's Server Explorer permit me to set PK/FK constraints on the tables They're supported in SQL Everywhere (SQL Ev), but I don't see a way to set them up. Why don't these tools support scripting the database tables to SQL Is this planned Bill, Obviously Microsoft will have to address the why, but in terms of the how, there is a nice third party tool that might help you out. See www.primeworks.pt . You are correct though, the degree to which you can manage constraints on SQL Mobile databases in SQL Server 2005 Management Studio is limited unless you write the DDL yourself. VS2005 is even more limited. Darren ...Show All

• SQL Server How to solve Circular Reference in Analysis Service

  Is there any way to solve a circular reference in Analysis Service calculation I'm migrating a Excel model to Analysis Service cube, but in Excel I can iterate to solve circular reference, but in Analysis Service calculations I can find a way to do that. You can use CALCULATION_PASS_NUMBER and CALCULATION_PASS_DEPTH in AS2005 in exactly same way you did with AS2000, only with AS2005 you don't need to purchase Enterprise Edition to use them ! Just paste the CREATE CELL CALCULATION statement inside the script view - and it will work fine. AS2005 is backward compatible with AS2000 on MDX level. ...Show All
