• SQL Server Using Stored Procedures with Report Builder

  New to the forum here. I'm having a trouble. My company is contemplating using Report Builder as an end user tool as opposed to giving everyone a copy of Visual Studio. I'm studying the feasability on this. A problem I'm running into, is that it doesn't seem possible to use a stored procedure as a data source. All of our standard reports are based off of stored procedures. Now granted, I'm talking about just Report Builder. I know how to base a report off of a SP using reporting services in VS. So, my question is, can you create a report off of a SP using only Report Builder, and if so, the steps Thanks guys! Stored procedures are not supported by Report Builder in this release. However, Chris Hays of sleazy hack fame has rep ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Why does XNA render at 75 Hz in fullscreen?

  When I run my game in window mode it runs at 60 fps and 60 Hz (which runs fine). But when i run it in fullscreen it runs at 75 Hz (but 60 fps, which makes the movements a little jerky). My monitor is set at 60 Hz. Why does XNA run in 75 Hz in fullscreen Other games run at 60 Hz (in fullscreen) on my computer. By "runs at 75 hz" do you mean that the monitor refresh rate is being set to 75, or that we are calling your Draw function at 75 My guess would be that we're just using the default monitor refresh rate. If you want to change that you can hook the GraphicsDeviceManager.PreparingDeviceSettings event, and modify the args.GraphicsDeviceInformation.PresentationParameters.FullScreenRefresh ...Show All

• SQL Server Can I generate Table Script in a Stored Procedure?

  I have to load around 40 tables and I want to write one Stored Procedure that I pass a table name into. Data is coming from 3 different sources and to fill each of the 40 tables. I want to create a temp table that I can load first to make sure it succeeds first before I truncate and insert into the production table.   Is there a system procedure or something that will allow me to create a temp table from a table that alresdy exist in my database Good to know you can create Temps like this. I might be able to work with this let me know what you think. Problem: I’m getting my data from an AS400 using Insert Into @TableName Select * from Opendatasource( “Con ...Show All

• .NET Development MS Gold Partner and .net 2.0 certification

  Howdy, I am in pursuit of developer certification. The .net 2.0 certifications guidelines are clear enough. However, the point allocation (for the .net 2.0 certification) toward my company's MS partnership is not given. So, there is one of two possibilities I see. Either the partnership program does not recognize the .net 2.0 certifications as valid (undermining the .net 2.0 certifications validity) or the partner program has not allocated the points for the .net 2.0 certifications (which begs the question of when this will happen). Without the partner point allocation, there is no value for companies to hire/support the latest .net 2.0 certified professionals. Please notify me as to which possibilities is the case so that I c ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Starting work on my GUI system

  Well, I've hit a wall with my game's development, and since there was no GUI with XNA 1.0, I've decided to go ahead and make my own GUI system. I implemented a lot of mechanics for my game, but I need greater interaction to proceed development in a sane manner. So far I've just implemented the text drawing stuff from scratch. It uses only monospace fonts generated with BMFontGenerator without using the generated .xml file. It's decidedly minimal to use only monospace fonts, but keep in mind two things - 1) my particular game doesn't require anything more robust than monospace fonts and 2) a game's engine should be designed around the game's specifc requirements. Otherwise you're scope creepin. I remind myself constantly not to let cool ...Show All

• Visual C# Difference in two ways of registering an event handler

  Hi, Does anybody knows the difference (if any) of the next two ways of registering an event handler button.buttonClick += new EventHandler(button_click); and button.buttonClick += button_click; Is the new EventHandler added at compiler time to the second way Thanks in advance, Pedro this  a new feature in c# 2  called delegate inference the compiler can  infer the type of delegate when adding or removing a target method "Delegate inference allows you to make a direct assignment of a method name to a delegate variable, without wrapping it first with a delegate object." http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/05/C20/ ...Show All

• Visual Basic HScrollBar not accepting Maximum value

  when running this code, the hscrollbar will accept any value. however, once the form is finally displayed, the hscrollbar will change it's maximum value to either 0, 22, 54, or 246. in binary "0", "10110", "110110", or "11110110". i have stepped through the code with the debugger and have verified that i am specifically setting it to other numbers (i.e. 7, 31, 255, etc.). i have also specifically set hbar.maximxum = 7 for debug purposes but when the form becomes visible the hscrollbar acts as if i have set the maximum to 0. is this a known bug i have searched MSDN to no avail...

• Software Development for Windows Vista faultHandlerActivity.Fault is always null

This works but when I want to look at the faultHandlerActivity.Fault it is always null. I am using Visual Studio 2005 Extensions for Windows Workflow Foundation RC4(EN).

• Visual Basic oledb not recognizing autonumber field in Access

  I have an Access db with the primary key as a 'autonumber' field. Records are updated via code just fine but Inserts fail with a message of "number of query fields and destination fields not the same". This results (I assume), from not providing a value for the first field which is the autonumber field. I have the identical db structure in a mssql db and I am using the same insert statement with sql classes and all is well. If I add a record via Access the field is incremented appropriately. I looked at the field properties of the Access db via .net server explorer and the field is described as an oledbtype.integer and nullable = false, no mention of autonumber or identity. The bottom line is the autonumber function is not firin ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IInputObject no longer called in IE7?

  Has the behavior around IInputObject changed for IE7 We're doing the standard: 1. On SetSite(), get the IID_IInputObjectSite from the IUnknown parameter. 2. When one of our UI Windows gets or looses focus, call IInputObjectSite::OnFocusChangeIS() It all appears to work; however, we never see callbacks on our IInputObject methods: UIActivateIO, HasFocusIO, TranslateAcceleratorIO. Well, that's not completely true. We see a callback on IInputObject:: UIActivateIO(FALSE..) when a second, different toolbar calls IInputObjectSite::OnFocusChangeIS(FALSE), but that's the only time (we see it in the stack crawl). Is this behavior different from IE6 This bandobject needs these calls to do it's UI correctly. It's more complex than a simple editbox ...Show All
