• SQL Server omitting null columns

  Hey everyone, I haven't got any idea where to even start looking for a solution to this problem so any help would be appreciated. I'm trying to write a stored procedure that will return a table yet omit any columns that don't have anything written to them, so any columns that have no data will not be present in the table returned after the stored procedure. Thanks in advance. Never mind the answer I gave you before, I didn't see this requirement You should handle stuff like this client side not server side it is just adding unnecessary processing on the DB side To do this on the DB you will have to use <evil>dynamic SQL</evil> dump the result in a temp table and build the SELECT statement dynamically by using a bunc ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Transparent icon for FormRegion

  I am using the GetRegionIcon implementation to assign the icon for the region on the Ribbon. But I can't get the transparent background recognized by the Outlook. I've tried to use both transparent png and icon. Neither works. I am using the code that Ryan posted here: http://blogs.msdn.com/tq/archive/2006/11/30/outlook-2007-form-region-sample-second-edition.aspx Transparency for form region icons only works when the color depth of the monitor is 32-bit. If you are using 32-bit color in high DPI or at other resolutions and you aren't seeing transparency, then it's a bug we don't know about and you should let me know :). ...Show All

• SQL Server Which one is better?

  I have 2 tables A - having 118040500 records B(its temporary table) - having 1500 records. When I say select * from A where a.id in (Select b.id from B) A.ID is unique it takes almost 2 minutes to return data. How can I optimize this. Should I remove in with join Will it help Please suggest incase you have any other suggestion thanks in advance You should just experiment with it-try all alternatives and chose the best one. Generally, the server is having more alternatives choosing a plan when executing a join than a correlated subquery, so you might try this: Select A.* from A join B on A.fID=B.fID. I guess this join will work best when you have Clustered index on both A.fID and B.fI ...Show All

• Windows Forms DateTimePicker control problem

  Hi guys, I'm using the data designer that generates form data entries. In my form entry there's this dateTimePicker control to save the date for the supplierPurchaseDate. I read someones thread that says I should set the ShowCheckBox to true.. but this doesnot solved my problem, When I clicked my save button there's this error that says supplierPurchaseDate does not allow Null values.

But then the checkbox beside the date was already checked, why is it it says Null where there's a value Any idea guys to make this work and eventually save the value for my supplierPurchaseDate. Thanks, Hi, I think it wil ...Show All

• .NET Development Web Service client has "nothing" for result.

  I have a crazy situation where I'm hitting a web service (written in Java), with a client I'm writing in VB (2005, with ASP 2.0)... the return type from the web method is a complex data type (not that complex - just has four different strings). It is consistently returning "nothing" when I call the web method. Here's the thing: I can hit the same web service with XML Spy sending in the same information, and that works just fine. I also used a sniffer tool and was able to see that my client is indeed receiving the correct response back from the server via HTTP... it's just that Dot Net is losing it somehow and by the time it gets back to my VB code, it says there's "nothing" there. (Argh!) Has anybody hit a situati ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development How to use a specific media source component

  Hi All! I am looking for a way of using a specific media source component. When I try to play back a WAVE file on the BasicPlayBack sample, SourceResolver loads WavSource.dll in order to create a MediaSource component. 【Question 1】 In order to create a MediaSource component, how does SourceResolver choose which media source dll to be loaded 【Question 2】 Is there any way for our app to specify a media source dll to use Is there any way not to make other apps use such as MERIT_DO_NOT_USE of DShow filter My best regards. Thanks. A1. The appropriate DLL, at DllRegisterServer (regsvr32) time, will have put an entry in the registry to associate itself with the extension in question (".wa ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How to change Height of rows in DataGrid?

  I wanted to know how is it possible to change the height of the rows that show up in DataGrid With Desktop .Net version it's possible by using the RowsAdded event but there's nothing like that in Compact Framework. No events can help for sure, there has to be some other way. Any thoughts The following code may not work if one click on the arrow icon in the vertical scrollbar of the datagrid. The line that has more than one line height will be corrupted visually. public void SetGridRowHeight(DataGrid dg, int nRow, int cy) { ArrayList arrRows = ((ArrayList)(dg.GetType().GetField("m_rlrow", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Instance).GetValue(dg))); obje ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Exchange Frame Buffer for Texture

  Greetings everybody, My Problem is that I need to "grab" the Output from the Framebuffer, no matter what it currently displays, and use these frames as textures for further manipulation in Direct3D. The difficult thing here is that I don't want the Application to first write the complete Frame in the normal Framebuffer, then read it to a texture but directly set the Texture as the Framebuffer, alter the texture and finally write the altered Texture into the normal Framebuffer for display. And this shall not work only for 3D-Rendering or Video-Display, but also with normal Desktop-Apps and even the bare Desktop itself. So I think I must find a way to reroute the Frames heading to the Framebuffer for display to "my own" F ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA 3D MODELS PLEASE HELP

  does anyone know of a modelling program that will export to the .xnb file extension, does anyone know of a program that creates those file types specifically. any help greatly appreciated. There is no such modeling program, because XNB is created by the XNA content processor. You can create XNB by adding a .X file or a .FBX file to the XNA project, or by running a build rule on a .X or .FBX file to generate a .XNB file, using MSBuild, or by instantiating and calling the model importers and processors yourself. ...Show All

• .NET Development impersonating the user initiating an action over the network

  I am trying to write a simple server/client application that will perform operations on the server using the permissions of the person running the client. I have saught to do this by serializing a WindowsIdentity object representing the client and sending it through a NetworkStream that is connected to the server (which will run as a windows service). Then I attempt to impersonate the user on the server using the WindowsIdentity object. Well, aparently the WindowsIdentity object does not contain a full set of credentials because once it gets to the server it simply sais that the handle is bad. I can see how this situation would happen, but what to I need to do to transmit the user's security token to another comput ...Show All
