• SQL Server Capturing Previous Value

  When updating the value of a field in a table, is it possible to capture -- either for insertion in another table or as a variable -- the previous value of the field Thus, if a field value is 'Value1' and a user updates it to 'Value2' is there some way to hold 'Value1' as a variable Lynn Trapp Hi Lynn, In good db design, there should be a new record inserted, not continual updates to existing records and you track the history through timestamps. However, if you want to just capture the previous existing value, it would be more practical and efficient to add a field called oldMyField and record the old value in your existing table instead of creating an entirely new table to record ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Very odd excel list object issue

  I have a list object that is bound to a data set. For technical reasons I have a few extra columns in the list that i don't want the user to see (the first and last columns), so I hide them away by making the columns hidden (Format -> Column -> Hide) so they have a width of 0.00. If I then use the filter on the list to filter out some of the records, editing a value causes the data cells to shift one to the left, so say I had User ID (hidden) |First Name | Surname | DOB, and edit the DOB value once commited to the dataset the cells have UserID (hidden) | User ID (now shown in First name column) | First Name (in surname col) | Surname (in DOB column). The dataset hasn't been altered as if i commit it back to the database it saves t ...Show All

• SQL Server Configuration File not always used

  I have a simple SSIS package (stored in the file system) that gets a file path from a configuration file. The configuration type is an indirect XML configuration file that uses an environment variable to store the location of the configuration file. When I run the package using dtexecui, or just dtexec from a command line, the package successfully picks up the file path from the configuration file (for verification I am writing out the variable containing the path to the log file). However when I run the package from a SQL Agent job it appears that the configuration file is not being used (the path is set to the same dummy path that I used during development). I have tried running the job as both a CmdExec and an Integrati ...Show All

• Visual Basic How. to handle multiple pages of graphics in VS2005.

  Hi, I'm working on a graphics program which permits the user to select a drawing from a table, add required dimensions and other information, save the data in Sql tables, then produce a PDF file, and/or print out the page. Usually only one page is required with each page having a max of 6 drawings, however, on occasions there may be more than six, so a number of pages would be needed. So far I have reached the point where I am satisfied with the result, if drawings are <= 6, however, I am completely at a loss as to how to handle multiple pages. At present I am using the Paint Event to allow the user to see the result prior to saving or printing. However the print out takes about 15 seconds. Using Print Page Event, I believe ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Media Player style panel

  Hi, I want to create a panel that has a background like the Windows Media Player 11 toolbar or the Windows Photo Gallery, but I have no idea how to paint this. Just to make this clear the problem is not where or when to paint, I just don't know how I can get this glowing gradient. Any help with this (no matter if for WPF or WinForms) would be great! Thanks so far, but that was not exactly what I was looking for. What I'm interested in is a way that I can create this myself (I need it for a WPF app). Do they use some kind of gradient brush for it in WMP and Windows Photo Gallery or is it just a bitmap brush ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Left side solicits unassigned variable error

  When assigning a value to a variable, I get the error Use of unassigned local variable 'outgoing' The compiler is complaining that the variable on the left side of the equals sign has not had any value assigned. I have two problems with this: First: I understand that the new used in the class should set all array members to zero. And second, this is on the receiving end of the assignment. What does it matter if it has not had a value assigned. Its getting one now. I used the same structure as the incoming argument in that called procedure Update_Raw_Data() and it compiles without error. This is the only error in the project. There simply must be something I cannot see. Please clue me in. If needed, I can zip and email the e ...Show All

• SQL Server Opening database with SQL Server 2005 Express directly from DVD

  Hi, I have a database that is archived onto DVD, the dvd contains .MDF, .LDF and .NDF file. The database was created on SQL Server 2000 machine. I don't have access to the database until it has been archived onto DVD... Is it possible to open it read-only (even though database on DVD is not marked as read only in it's database properties) directly from the DVD. Ideally want a quick way to view the data on the DVD but at the moment it seems that I have to copy it to hard disk first before I can connect to it. This process takes about 10 min on the machine I'm using as it is a 3 GB .NDF file. From research I've done so far it seems to be impossible which is quite unfortunate, but if anyone has any idea of how it might be possi ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Thematic maps?

  Is it possible to build thematic maps using the virtual Earth SDK For example making regions different colours based on their population density. Thanks, Andrew Static is not thematic ! Of course it is. Thematic maps hasn't got anything to do with whether the data is dynamic or static. It's just about showing a "theme" like the example I mentioned earlier - the theme there was showing population density, which makes it thematic. ...Show All
