• Windows Live Developer Forums Disambiguate a location

  I want to use the map control to search for city names and return the lat/long. When a city name is unique (i.e. there is only 1 possibility) it works like this: function SearchFor(city) { map.Find('', city, 1, callback); } function callback(loc) { // do something with the loc[0].LatLong here } But when you enter a name that has multiple options, you get a popup box to choose the right one. This is what I want, but I like to have a callback after one choses the right location. The callback seems to be called before the users choses, and the above method returns the first location. How can I really desambiguate the location and do something with the latlong after the user has chosen The FindLocation method doesn't seem to hel ...Show All

• SQL Server Need to Subtract the result of two stored procedures

  I am trying to take the results from two stored procedure and subtract them to get credit from two columns. The stored procedures look like create PROCEDURE mw AS select * FROM pla p where p.st in ('ds', 'sd') and (iPlayerID = '5345') compute sum(p.amount) RETURN both procedure have the same syntax. I am not able to use AS in to insert the values into a variable. Is there a wizard to use stored procedures are --Money Played stored procedure CREATE PROCEDURE MoneyPlayed AS select * FROM table s where s.strStatus in ('GP', 'GB') and (id= '4134') compute sum(s.iAmount) RETURN --Money won stored procedure create PROCEDURE MoneyWon AS select * FROM table p where p.strStatus in (' ...Show All

• Visual C++ Show the active configuration?

  The solution configuration window in VS2005 shows the active configuration (debug or release), until you start the pgm. Then that window is blanked. Is there some way to have it display the active configuration always, even though you cannot change it while the pgm is running This is hopelessly complex for such a simple task. Developers of VS2005 IDE, don't blank that window. Make it read-only while a program is running, if you must, but keep it displaying the configuration. ...Show All

• SQL Server Using expressions with FlatFile connections?

  This seems so obvious, but is causing me a lot of trouble: The flat files input to my SSIS packages may contain an empty line between each row of data, or may be "continuous" without any extra empty lines. Here are small examples of the data I'm working with: With the extra line: "M","SFH","Single Family Mortgage Loans","Single Fam Mtg" "M","MFH","Multifamily Mortgage Loans","Multi-Fam Mtg" "R","MIX","Mixed/Various/Unknown","Mixed/Various" Without the extra line: "M","SFH","Single Family Mortgage Loans","Single Fam Mtg" "M","MFH","Mult ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Problem with more than 2 projects

  In VB 2005 express when creating and reopening 2 small projects, everything is O.K. However, when I save a third small project and then try to reopen it from the recent projects list, it wont open. I have over 1 gig ram, so that shouldnt be a problem. Is there some kind of setting for maximun number of projects allowed that I can change It doesn't give an error when I try to open it. The hourglass appears for a second and then disappears and nothing happens. No form for the project appears. I can create as many new projects as I want, but after clicking save all, I can only reopen the first 2 projects I created. I am just trying to learn vb 2005 and following examples in a book so these are very small projects. I am using Windows ...Show All

• SQL Server Limit to number of connections to the SQLCLR?

  Is there a limit to the number of connections that can be made to the SQLCLR If so, what is that limit and is it adjustable Thanks! No, I am referring to access to the SQLCLR from any edition of SQL Server 2005. 2005 does not by default limit the number of user connections to the SQL Server instance. Internally to SQL Server, is there a limit to how many connections to the SQLCLR that can be made So for example, if had 1,000 connections open to SQL Server, will I be limited to only 200 (or some number) of them accessing SQLCLR procedures Or, assuming server resources are adequate, can an unlimited number of clients access SQLCLR procedures concurrently ...Show All

• Windows Forms BindingSource.AddNew from a DataGridView

  I have a DataGridView bound to a BindingSource whose DataSource has been filled from a SQL table. A dgv popup menu offers an 'insert a copy' option, ie it allows the user to insert a new row initialised to values in the row under the mouseclick. I cannot insert rows at dgv level because direct dgv inserts are not permitted when a dgv is bound; evidently .NET 2 evidently wants me to use BindingSource.AddNew. Very well, I add a handler to be called by BindingSource.AddNew ... bindSrcMaster.AddingNew += new AddingNewEventHandler(bindSrcMaster_AddingNew); The popup menu item event handler for CopyRow can figure out which dgv row to copy ... private void CopyRow(object sender, EventArgs e) { ToolStripItem menuItem = sender as ToolStripItem ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WS-AtomicTransaction coordination service problem

  Hello, I'm researching WCF WS-AT interoperability and I am slightly confused by the message sent by transactional web-service client based on WCF.

• SQL Server Is there a way to 'peek' the items in a queue?

  ... or some other way to prolong their presence on the queue. The scenario I'm dealing with requires me to receive a batch of messages and fire them off (as a batch) to a legacy Unix application via TCP. What I need to do is keep those messages on the queue (or at least somewhere else in the database) until I know for certain that the legacy app has received them. Comments After reading Roger's online whitepaper ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnsql90/html/sqlsvcbroker.asp ), I've concluded that my particular problem can be solved quite elegantly by transactional messaging, basically by equating one burst with one transaction.

• SQL Server Union for two sets with where clause

  Hi, I have situation where I'm returning comparing data from two date ranges in a chart in MS Reporting Services. In regular SQL, I simply do a UNION between two select statements. I also have a dummy column returned to distinguish between the two selects. i.e. Select *, 1 As 'DataSet' from tblData Where startDate >= @sdate AND endDate <= @edate UNION ALL Select *, 2 As 'DataSet' from tblData Where startDate >= @sdate2 AND endDate <= @edate2 In MDX, I've only seen a UNION for the columns, but not with the WHERE clause included. Is it possible to have a where clause for each set What's the syntax Thanks a lot! Well, I'm having some problems with this query. In addition to the above, I wan ...Show All
