• SQL Server 'Dynamic Time(year,month,date)' Report Template (rdl) using Report Designer VS2005

  I have three types of specific reports that i have to create with the input parameters (range) either 1: By date (rdl 1) 2.By Month (rdl 2) 3.By Year (rdl 3) Is it possible ( or how do I ) to create just one report template ( one rdl) with the three sets of parameters ( hiding/invisible which ever two sets base on user selection) and the output of the report will display the desired type( either by year, month or date). I ask this because its possible to create a drill down report from year down to date etc in report designer (vs 2005). Not sure if I can create one instead of three rdls and with the 'logic' built within that template. Thanks Regards Alu You could create a parameter Report Type with 3 options ( ...Show All

• Visual C# How to trap keyboard? Keydown or Keypress

  I need to get what key has been pressed, but I need 8-bit ascii code, also I need to detect all keyboard keys, like enter, escape, f1-f10, etc. Which do you think is the best way to handle this thanks in advance for your help, Edward Your question is ambigious, Not clear on what level you want his. Control Level Form Level or System Level. Any how on Control Level u can use KeyPress or KeyDown events and see what in e.KeyChar, e.KeyCode etc..... whatever you need. On Form level you need to override WndProc method to see appropriate Windows Messages . On system level you need to set Global Hooks. Search on google Global Hooks in C# and also try Code project it has a ready made excellent project w ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Real time events slow...

  The following is in regard to XP. If this is not the right forum, please advise. (It seems likely though that this behavior also exists in Vista.) I've inspected the tracelog and tracedmp sample projects in the SDK. I'm writing code that needs to receive disk I/O events from the kernel logger in real time. I'm using EVENT_TRACE_REAL_TIME_MODE with OpenTrace, etc. My event callback seems to be called Ok, except that it happens not actually in real time. Instead, it seems that the system is buffering up a bunch of events, and then calling my event callback many times in a row. I need to see these events as they occur, not later when a buffer load of them has accumulated. Is there any way to get these events to be passed to the ca ...Show All

• SQL Server Templates - Predefined parameter values

  I have created template that the dba team is going to use to generate consistant code. What I was wondering is there a way to save some of your parameter values so each time I open a template some of the parameter are already set for me... Ex. We have an author parameter. If I could set that to my name and save the parameter template then when I use a template I wont have to populate that value. Ex 2. DataBase parameter. We typically work on a project that interfaces with one db. If I could set the parameter value to MyDB then any time I use the template it would already be populted intstead of having to set the same parameters over and over when they will either never change or very seldom.... I did several searches with no ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Library support

  Hi. I posted this in a thread earlier, but the thread dropped back half a dozen pages in a few hours. This place is popular! If we want to use external libraries or middleware, do they have to be written in C# and come with source provided I'm thinking of libraries like SQLite, Lua, ODE and so on that would normally be included as a .dll reference in your C# project. I assume that's not possible if you want your code to run on all available platforms That means that basically we're starting with a very clean slate here. There seem to be precious few libraries that are useful for games developers and written in pure C# for the XNA platform. The concern that I have is that not only will it take many months before a decent array of middlewa ...Show All

• SQL Server Dynamic filedlength of varchar fields in source

  I'm using SSIS to import data from a table (SQL) containing varchar fields. The problem is, that those varchar fields are changing over time (sometimes shrinking and sometimes expanding). I.e. from varchar(16) to varchar(20). When I create my SSIS package, the package seem to store information about the length of each source-field. At runtime, if the field-length is larger then what the package expects an error is thown. Is there anyway around this problem Oh, yeah... My destination fields are a lot wider then the source fields, so the problem is not that the varchar values doesn't fit in my destination table, but that the package expects the source to be smaller...

• Visual Studio Team System Check-out not getting latest (RTM)

  Hi all We have this occasional problem whereby checking out a file doesn't get the latest, subsequently resulting in us having to merge our changes due to the file being different on TFS. Any ideas This sounds like it could be a bug to me Thanks Kev (dunno how this got posted to the wrong thread) Get Latest on Checkout is unlikely to be in SP1.
