• SQL Server Simple MDX question

  Hi, This is a newbie question. I want to obtain a top-level aggregate, but filtered by attributes at the lowest of the data.

• Visual C++ Finding currently visible desktop

  Hi there, how can I find the currently visible desktop By calling EnumWindowStations and EnumDesktops I get a list of all available desktops. But is there a way to figure out which one of them is currently visible I've tried to find the visible desktop by comparing the desktop handle, returned by the OpenDesktop function, to the desktop handle received by calling OpenInputDesktop. The result is that the default desktop is always the one currently receiving user input. But by using the default desktop my window always shows up at the desktop of the first user logged on to the system after reboot. No matter if this desktop is currently visible or not! What am I doing wrong Or what is the right way to search for the currently vi ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Is it possible to have multiple projects in Smart Device Solution

  Hi all, I had a solution that contained one project for my PocketPC. Now I have added an existing project to the solution.

• SQL Server Getting data from dataset back into database

  I'm new at this so I apologize in advance for my ignorance. I'm creating a website that collects dates in a calendar control (from Peter Blum). When the page containing the control loads it populates the calendar with dates from the database (that have previously been selected by the user). The user then can delete existing dates and/or add new dates. I create a dataset when the page loads and use it to populate the calendar. When the user finishes adding and deleting dates in the calendar control I delete the original dates from the dataset and then write the new dates to the dataset. I then give execute the data adapter update command to load the contents of the dataset back into the database. This command involves using parameteri ...Show All

• Visual Studio The ubiquitous "A data source instance has not been supplied..."

  I have a simple report based on a Project business object. I've dragged and dropped a reportviewer control and a bindingsource, named "ProjectBindingSource" control onto my form. I dragged and dropped several fields from the Project business object onto my .rdlc report form. In the code called before refreshing the reportviewer, I've attempted to set the datasource property of the ProjectBindingSource via the following statements: Project aProj = Project.GetProject(projID); ProjectBindingSource.DataSource = aProj; Single-stepping through the code, aProj gets populated with the project information in the first statement and it should be bound to the report via the ProjectBindingSource; however, I'm still getting a "A ...Show All
