• Visual Studio Express Editions how can i select startup to user control at start up

  I am new to programing and would like to know how to do the following. I have multiple use controls and i would like to select the control to show at start up from a combobox list. i would like to save the selected control to a usersetting so it will start up when the aplication is restarted. Thanks I'd customized the Joke class (I suppose I should have included it...): the one provided by the System Namespace just wasn't funny... System.Joke.Funny always returns KindaFalse . Must be the Booleanessity leaking out: I was hoping for SortaTrue . Someone must have the enumeration for Booleanessity ...Perhaps Tall Dude needs to look in the mirror (Reflection ). ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Announcing v4 - 3D Mapping!

  Announcing v4 - 3D Mapping! Today at 2PM (PST) we launched v4 of the map control, and with it some pretty amazing additions to the VE mapping world. You can read all of the blogs and marketing materials (and of course, go to maps.live.com) to get all the “wow” stuff. Here I just want to highlight what I think matters to VE developers. The Good First, we also updated the v3 control (now, v3.2). The big change here—and this is also in the v4 control—is the ability to now turn off the location disambiguation dialog and easily build your own. Check the “Finding Information” topic in the SDK. The iSDK also shows how to do this, of course. The Great On to v4: The big change, of course, is that you can now sho ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS string variable is truncating data

  Greetings, I have written a SSIS package which does the following: - An 'Execute SQL Task' uses an OLEDB connection to execute a Stored Procedure in SQL Server 2005 A SSIS user defined variable named @SourceSQLStatement is passed to the Stored procedure as an OUTPUT This variable is a string Data Type - The Stored Procedure generates an SQL command and saves it in the variable This variable is defined as @SourceSQLStatement nvarchar(4000) OUTPUT The varible is then returned to the SSIS package When the package is executed the variable does not contain the entire SQL command.

• Visual Basic Application is freezing after lock workstation

• Visual Studio Adding contents of textboxes on RDLC report

  I have an rdlc report that has two textboxes. The values of these textboxes are items received on time, and items late. This is caluclated using decision function and counting the rows that match. I have a third text box that I want to add the contents of textbox 1 & the second textbox. Currently I am recalulating using decision functions which seems a bit excessive when I alreay have the values sitting in other textboxes. Thing is I cant find the way to call the textboxes on the rdlc report. Using =textbox1.value + textbox2.value does not work. Can anyone tell me how to use the values in these fields Try the following expression (if all three textboxes are in the same scope) for your textbox3: =ReportItems!textbox1.Value + ...Show All

• SQL Server Reading Records in a Flat File

  Hello, I am making my first attempt at creating a script for a Script Task. The script needs to do the following; 1. find the length of each record in a single fixed width flat file -file location; C:\Learning\SettlementDataTest\SC15_Copies\SingleFile -file name; CDNSC.CDNSC.SC0015.111062006 (no file extension) 2. if a record is found that is longer than 384 characters; a. copy the record out to a text file -location;C:\Learning\SettlementDataTest\SC15_Copies\ErrantRecords -file name; ErrantRecords.txt b. delete record from the flat file where the record length is > 384. If I can get this to work on a single file, I want to implement it with multiple files. I would imagine that using a ForEachLoop container ...Show All

• .NET Development use of name: "Object Library" vs. "Class Library"

  This is a question that I have pondered, but never bothered to really look into it till now. What is the difference between calling library of classes a "Class Library" and an "Object Library" I've heard these two terms used synonymously, but now I'm at a point where I have to find out if there really is a difference. I understand the difference between a "Class" and an "Object", that's not really what I was getting at with my question. The main reason why I ask, is because my company has partnered with Microsoft on some occasions, and I've heard many developers from Microsoft use both terms synonymously. Maybe the reason why I've heard these terms used in this manner is because of our system... The system we d ...Show All

• Visual Studio Still show as Trial version after upgrade into Non-Trial version of VS2005

  Hi, I have a problem with VS2005. At first, I had standard version of VS2005 in my computer and it worked fine. A few months later, my boss asked me to install Team Suite (trial version) and it worked fine too (except it's a trial version). A month later, we bought Team Edition for Software developer version. After uninstalled the trial version and installed "Team Edition for Software Developer", the trial version still shows up on About Form with # of dates remain. I have tried many different ways to cleanup that “trial version” but "trial version" stills there. Please help. Regards, JDang I found the solution on the internet.

• Windows Forms Windows Form Designer and the 'Do not modify... warning

  I'm not sure how--but I've managed to add some controls such as buttons, combo boxes, and others to my project in VB Express that are not visible. I don't mean hidden like control.hidden = true but hidden on the form. I think they are hidden behind other controls that I have on my form. I can see the drop down events of these hidden controls which have no code associated with them. When I view the code in the partial class generated by the Windows Forms Designer I can see the referece to them like: Me .MaskedTextBox2 = New System.Windows.Forms.MaskedTextBox Me .ListBox1 = New System.Windows.Forms.ListBox Me .MaskedTextBox1 = New System.Windows.Forms.MaskedTextBox Me .ComboBox2 = New System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox ...Show All

• SQL Server Merge Replication not replicating updates

  I have an issue that is only occurring in a production environment. The architecture is filtered merge replication between two SQL Server 2000 SP4 databases. The publisher is standard edition and the subscriber is personal edition. The issue is that is I update certain rows on the subscriber the data is not replicated to the publisher. Inserts and deletes seem to replicate correctly. The issue is specific to certain rows in some tables. If I update other rows the updates replicate correctly. The subscription has been re-initialized once and it did not fix the issue. The replication process indicates that there was not data to merge and the subscriber updates remain and are at that point different form the publisher row values af ...Show All

• SQL Server Does MS plan a GUI

  Hello all, We are planning to base a product on Microsoft SQL-2005 Notification services. However, one of the required properties from this software is to provide the client administrator a user interface to configure the Instance Configuration File (ICF) and Application Definition File (ADF). Working with XML files will not do for us, once the responsibility is delegated from a developer to an administrator. Before going into the process of writing such an application from scratch, I would like to know if Microsoft has such an enhancement on the SQL-NS roadmap, and if so, when it is scheduled to. Does anyone have any thoughts or knowledge Thanks Ziv G. Hi Joe, ...Show All

• SQL Server Parameter default not updating on deploy

  I've got an issue with a report of mine where the default parameter isn't being cleared. Let me explain... I created a report with a parameter on it. While I'm working on the cosmetics of the report, I didn't want to have to keep typing in a value just to see it run, so I set the default value on the parameter. I finish the report and deploy it and everything is ok. Then when I go to the page to view it, I notice that the default is still there, so I go back and edit my report to take out the default and just use NULL. In the preview tab, it looks ok, so I deploy the report again. Now when I go to the report, it still has the default value in the parameter box. Does anyone have any idea as to why this is happening The only way I cou ...Show All
