• Visual C# Convert string to operation

  Hi! Is it possible to convert strings to operations in a relatively simple way For example convert this string: string OperationInString = "3+3+9"; somehow, so I get back "15". Thanks in advance. ;) Wow you're expert! I guess it takes an amount of infinity^2 time to get to this level of knowledge. :) Thank you for that long piece of code, though I must admit, I get lost hopelessly while interpreting it after the 5th line. :) I hope at least I can implement it into my project. It does what I want it to do in itself  so far, I'll see what bugs show up with my stitched-together project. ...Show All

• SQL Server MDX with parameters using OleDb?

  I'm trying to run an MDX query with a parameter. It works fine with ADOMD.NET, but I can't get it to work using OleDb. (I have to use OleDb because of limitations of the calling application.) Is this possible The following code works: //using Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient; string MDX = "with member [Measures].[Test] as Str(@Param1) " + "SELECT [Measures].[Test] on 0, " + "[Product].[Category].[Category].Members on 1 " + "from [Adventure Works]" ; AdomdConnection conn = new AdomdConnection ( "Provider=MSOLAP.3;Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=Adventure Works DW;Integrated Security= SSPI ;Persist Security Info=false;" ); conn.Open(); ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to override instance property value with style value?

  Hi, I am trying to create style for my button which would set its color, font type, size and so on. Unfortunately, it seems that button instance values take precedence over template values. Is there a way to change precedence such that style values will take precedence What I would like to achieve is that in following sample my button to have text 'Hello' and background to be black: < Style x:Key = " GeneralButton " > < Setter Property = " Control.Background " Value = " Black " /> < Setter Property = " Button.Content " Value = " Hello " /> </ Style > ... < Button Background = " #FF008000 " Style = " {StaticResource GeneralB ...Show All

• SQL Server Database is slow to access after being idle for some time

  I've noticed that after the database have been idle for some time, it takes up to 10 seconds to get it started when something needs to access it. In the event viewer it says that the database <name> have been started. Obviously, there is some idle timeout setting. I saw an option in the database properties that is called "Auto Close" which is set to true. I assume this is what i'm looking for. Can someone confirm that (it could take some time to test myself...) But what i'm actually wondering is: 1. Is it possible to adjust how long it would wait before timing out 2. What advantages does closing the database bring Does it free up (a noticeable amount of) ressources Or is it only that it's unlocking the files, so that it ...Show All

• .NET Development How can I tell if I am being called from funceval

  Hello Mike, I have the same problem, but my situation does not involve multiple threads. I have written my own debug trace listener, so that I can display my own "Assert Failed" dialog. If I hit a breakpoint and examine a variable, the code being executed by the funceval sometimes fails an assert, and this tries to display my assert dialog. The dialog doesn't actually appear, but the funceval times out waiting for user input to the dialog. The funceval returns with "Function evaluation disabled because a previous function evaluation timed out", and then I can't continue and have to restart. How can my trace listener know not to display the Assert Failed dialog because a funceval is being run from a breakpoint Thanks i ...Show All

• .NET Development Error passing parameters to Fillby Query

  Hi, I'll try to keep this succint. I'm using VB into an Access DB with an ODBC connection. I wrote a fillby query that looks exactly like this: SELECT     OrderDate, Notes, ShippingCost, DateReceived, Supplier, PO, UserName, Completed, POTotal FROM         Purchases WHERE     (OrderDate >= [StartDate]) AND (OrderDate <= [EndDate]) (yes, I changed the prefix and suffix because it kept coming up with syntax errors.) If I test this with the "Execute Query" button, it works fine. When I finish this query, I would expect it to create two entries in the parameters collection. It does not. So I created them myself. In my code, I execute this: ...Show All

• Visual Basic It takes so long to verify before installing a VB published program!

  How to solve this problem I wrote a program in VB 2005 Express. When installing it in another computer, it first shows something like " verify ..." and this takes about 5 mins. The program itself is only about 1M. Shouldn't it be much faster to install Also, publish function works only if prerequisite is set be be downloaded from web. How can I make it independant of web Thanks for reading! Referring to the "Verify..." situation, it could be the AV virus kicking in and causing it to slow down, however generally, regardless of the size of the application, generally the installer may take some time to verify itself, other required resource, packages etc.... if it is actually taking a while (a g ...Show All
