• Visual Studio Custom HTML

  Hi all, Is there anyway, hack or whatever to put custom HTML in a report. I would like to draw a table. I have seen some posts reference DHTML etc but have not seen where I could insert custom script. Thanks I have found a post by Teo Lachev that says this. SP 1 (scheduled to be released this month) will add support for calling custom javascript code. This will allow you to manipulate the page DHTML model. Currently, you may try the following hack. You can render your report is an HTML Fragment embedded in the hosting page. The posting page (e.g. window_onload) can use DHTML to reference and change the report fragment. What is he referring to then ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista tableadapter update inside failed transactionscope doesn't rollback the datatable

  I have a number of tableadapters which must update under one transaction. After a transaction failure I notice that the data in the (SQL Server 2005) database has rolled back but the data in the datatables on the middle tier has not. This creates problems as some of the tables contain data on which other data tables are dependent. In particular, identity fields on these datatables are left populated with the identity from the failed insert. Is there a way to accomplish a rollback of data in these datatables without resorting to datatable.clear() followed by datatable.Add[tablename]row Regards. DataTables/DataSets are not TransactionScope aware and will not rollback when the transaction is ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) No appropriate XAML tags for inline code

  According to the documentation (...), in an XAML document one can have inline code which contains, say, C# code for event handlers. Is it possible to insert such code in an XAML created with Visual Studio If yes, what is the correct tag which should contain the CDATA element In the articles that I consulted, either <def:Code> or <x:Code> is used; however, these tags always generate errors when I try to compile the project. This is what I did: - I created a new project (WPF or XAML browser); - in the XAML editor, I added some controls - say, a <Button>; - I added a handler for the button, with ' Click="OnClick" ' - I wanted to have the code of the handler in the XAML file. For this I tried to ...Show All

• Windows Forms c# Insert Text into Textbox

  I have a series of textboxes on a Windows Form and a Series of buttons aswell. What I am trying to achieve sounds quite simple but I cannot figure out how to do it. Basically all Im trying to achieve is each button has some predefined text associated with it and when the user clicks the button, it inserts that text into the textbox which has the focus. The problem with this is that when you click on the button you lose the focus from the Textbox. The only way I have figured out is to save which control has focus before the button is clicked. This works but when you have 32 textboxes on a form, surely there is a better way than creating an On_Enter Method or similar to set the value of the Control which needs the text. Any help would be ...Show All

• SQL Server Replication scripts

  Hi, The company I work for delivers their developed software together with two W2K3 servers using SQL Server 2000. These two servers has two roles, production and backup, and if the production server is offline or if anything happens to it, the backup server becomes the production server. When the original production server is back online, it becomes the backup server. I have struggled with replication on these two machines. What we would like is to have scripts for these servers. These scripts should be general so that they could be run at both servers. The current production server is setup as distributor and publisher, and the backup server is setup with a pull subscription. Also, when the subscriber is seetup, it should update it ...Show All
