• Visual C# ListView: Add to specific column

  I'd like to take a few properties from files (File FullName, File Extension, File Size) and input them into a ListView in Details mode. I've already set up my columns via the GUI and can populate it with a single property (in this case, FullName) just fine. But I'm having a tough time figuring out how to go about populating it with the additional properties. Column names, in order, are: ColName, ColType, ColSize private void SearchList_Click( object sender, EventArgs ArrayList) { ArrayList files = new System.Collections. ArrayList (0); ArrayList filetypes = new System.Collections. ArrayList (0); // locate all the filesystem items of interest foreach ( object item in listBox1.Items) { fo ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. StreamWriter text file - load Vector 2 and enums

  I'm making my own tile map game. It's similar to the tile tutorial from Jaegers, but class based (each Map has Screens and each Screen has Tiles which, in turn, have properties). Saving to an XML file is just too big (3 megs+ for a 5x5 screen map), so I'm changing over to saving a text file, but having problems loading the Vector2 and an enum TileList {grass, desert, water}. The save code works fine, but I can't figure out how to convert the stream when its loaded. Is it even possible to do this Or is there a better way to save data besides XML public static Map LoadTextMap( string fileName) { StreamReader reader; reader = File .OpenText(fileName); Map tempMap = new Map (); tempMap.Version = Convert .ToI ...Show All

• SQL Server Issue Exporting Date format to a delimited file.

  In exporting from a OLEDB connection to a flat file. In the originating table the field for DOB is in a varchar(10) format ex. 01/17/2007. The flat file connection destination is setup as a DT_STR. When you look at the OLEDB connection table preview you see it as 01/17/2007. When it is export to the delimited <CR><LF> <|> pipe delimited the format looks like this 01/17/2007 00:00:00. The issue would be resolved with a right ragged fixed width file. But this is not the requirement for the project format fot the file. I have tried delete and recreating the connections, and even tried doing a data conversation from the OLEDB connection to a char(10). Also, thourgh the transformation services with out any luck.

• Visual Basic Validating an XML Document using a DTD

  Hello, I have a program in VB that creates an XML document.  Now I need  to validate the created XML document against a dtd that I was given.  How do I do that   This is what I have so far, but I get the error "No DTD Found", which is pretty obvious because I haven't even told it where the dtd is...because I don't know how.  I've just pieced  the code below together from some other posts so I have no idea if I'm even on the right track.  Also to make things extra fun the dtd is not all contained in one document, at least I don't think so.  For example in SYNC_HMSBOM_001.dtd, which is the dtd that I need to validate the xml against, there are lines of code like the following: <!ENTITY % HMSBO ...Show All

• .NET Development Update row SQL and type conversions

  Hi, I'm looking into updating rows using plain SQL statements. I find that I have to convert my data into strings to construct the statement. These conversions need to be mapped to the database types e.g. no comma in a float value. Is this functionality already present somewhere, like it is for reading a record using the many Get... methods in a DataReader Is there a best practice Using DB2, but not looking for a DataSet related solution. Would appreciate your help. Regards, Tonn You have to worry about formatting when using concatentated T-SQL, which is really a bad practice because it opens you up to SQL Injection Attacks.

• SQL Server create view using data in seperate severs

  Hello: I'd like to create a view on server x which references tables on an entirely seperate server. Is this possible Is seems strange to have to copy the tables over just to create a view. In the view wizard I can't seem to 'browse' to the tables on the other server. The code I'm working with would conceptually be something like this: select server name.database instance.owner.table.field from server name.database instance.owner.table where <field name> like 'xxxx%' or something along those lines. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks. I don’t know what servertable means, but it should be something like this here (using Aliases) which makes reading more strai ...Show All

• SQL Server SSRS Fixed Table Size

  Hello, I am trying to find a way to fix the size of a table in SSRS so that it would not push any items underneath it when it grows, due to multi-row data set. I have set the canGrow = false property of all the text boxes in the table, but this did not help. Does anyone know if it is possible to force a fixed size of the table and how it is done Thanks. TF I am begining to think that an invoice is not an application that SSRS 2005 can handle from the lack of responses. Maybe a future release will have this popular type of report. For now, I guess I need to find another solution to my problem - somewhere else. Does anyone know of a system that can handle that ty ...Show All
