• Windows Forms object^ FUNCTION(string^ s)

  I badly need a function or method that can: -Take a string handle as an input parameter -Return an object handle with the specified s as its object name -Return NULL if an object with that name cannot be found like the following System::Object^ FUNCTION(System::String^ s) This function is much like the "DynamicLoadObject" function found in unreal script (JAVA variant). Is there a method of achieving this For example: private: System::Windows::Forms::Label^ label3; and in a function func1() { System::Windows::Forms::Label^ tmplabel; tmplabel = FUNCTION("label3"); } If a way of changing that last number (label 3 ) exists, that would still be very useful. Like some format similar to add up strings "label& ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System MS Project Field Mappings

  Does anyone know where I could find more information about customizing the field mappings with MS Project   The current mappings have extremely odd behavior that doesn't seem consistent, i.e. no duration can be specified apparently because it isn't mapped but % complete can be specified IF you fill in Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.CompletedWork and Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.RemainingWork (but you have to use both and if they don't match Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.BaselineWork it doesn't seem to matter or it provides wierd behavior, etc..) EDIT: Also, it appears as if existing mpp refresh behavior is sometimes unaffected by the latest loaded field mapping changes i.e. setting a mapping to PublishOnly=true that wasn't previously set that ...Show All

• SQL Server MDX with parameters using OleDb?

  I'm trying to run an MDX query with a parameter. It works fine with ADOMD.NET, but I can't get it to work using OleDb. (I have to use OleDb because of limitations of the calling application.) Is this possible The following code works: //using Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient; string MDX = "with member [Measures].[Test] as Str(@Param1) " + "SELECT [Measures].[Test] on 0, " + "[Product].[Category].[Category].Members on 1 " + "from [Adventure Works]" ; AdomdConnection conn = new AdomdConnection ( "Provider=MSOLAP.3;Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=Adventure Works DW;Integrated Security= SSPI ;Persist Security Info=false;" ); conn.Open(); ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Adding standard C "template".

  My intention to use Visual Studio Express C++ was to have an good and stable compiler and IDE to develop C (ANSI C) code on a windows platform. I know that the program title suggests other use for it than for standard C but i'll try anyway. As you create a project you can f.x. right-click the 'Source Files' dir in the solution explorer and select 'Add -> New Item'. Now in the coming window you can choose between a few different types of source file such as .cpp .h etc etc. My question is: What must I do, in this window, to be able to select a .c source file Currently the only method i've found is either to create a .c file outside the IDE and then add it to the project, or create a header-file and save it as *.c file.

• Visual C++ Inconsistencies in overriding private function (bug?)

  I have a class, "Facade", which has two private members. One returns void, the other returns a pointer to another class. virtual void doProcessing(); virtual ResultSet* processPolicy(Policy* policy, boost::gregorian::date evaluationDate); I have two derived classes, class A overrides doProcessing(), class B overrides processPolicy(). I noticed that A's doProcessing() will get called, but that B's processPolicy() does not. Both instances of A and B get created and started in the same manner. Once started, doProcessing() gets called, which in turn calls processPolicy(). The only differences I can spot One is void and has no parameters; the other returns a value and has parameters. Do I need to treat one different from t ...Show All

• SQL Server Train and test data sets

  I've seen that sometimes is better to split the table into a test dataset and a training dataset, and I'll appreciate if anyone can explain why is this... thanks Santiago Acenolaza Argentina Usually after you finish building a data mining model, you'll want to test the accuracy of model against sample data. If you use the same data that you used in training, the model might show accurate results; but in reality it might have overlearned (or overfitted) on the data. Splitting the dataset into test and training allows you to validate the model accuracy on dataset it hasn't seen during training, which is more representative of the dataset it'll be used against for prediction. Let me know if you have any a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How is it possible to specify the SpellChecker used by FxCop?

  We use FxCop for 2 years and are now in trouble because we just discovered that FxCop uses a default spellchecker like the one installed by MS Office. In our case, the FxCop results are totally different depending on the PC where it runs ; here we have 15 developper machines and several build machine and we have no guarantee that everybody use the same version of office! Does exist a way to force FxCop to use a given spellchecker Thanks a lot if you have an idea because at this moment we are about to let down this great tool if we don't work it out. Thanks David for your quick answer. Then does exist a way to subsitute the default Office spellchecker This information is probably written somew ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums MS Access User Defined Permissions

  Hi there - im building a contact management system and require some help with coding. I have a table (tblusers) for users that contains their information e.g. user name , password and tick boxes that will hopefully allow them to edit certain levels within the hierarchy of the system e.g 'allowcompanyedit' tick box will allow users with that box ticked to create and edit company information, 'allowcontactedit' tickbox will allow users with that bx ticked to create and edit contact information etc etc. I have created a user login screen and added code to a command button that checks their credentials against what is held in the users table to see if they should be allowed to log in or not. I would like to add additional code that will also ...Show All
