• Visual Studio Express Editions Microsoft Chart Control

  I've managed to get the chart control into my application from instructions in a previous post on this subject. I've placed a chart on one of my forms and have formatted the color, X and Y-axis, etc. But how do you set what data to use for the chart (bar chart in my case) I can't find anywhere where you set the data to use in the chart. I'm trying to use data from a datagridview on the form. It's a simple datagridview with two columns of data (Date and Price). Has anyone used this control and successfully linked their data to it Thanks, John It's a binding thingy. Binding has changed quite a bit between VB6 and VS200x. That's probably the #1 reason that control doesn't get distributed anymore, i ...Show All

• .NET Development Navigating Large Database

  I have a SQL database table with about 1,000,000 records. I would like to be able to view these records on a form, linked to textboxes and such, and be able to navigate through them, as in back and forth. I have tried using the dataset and it is extremley slow to load the dataset. Its so slow it would not be usable. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I would be able to navigate through these records I would suggest to implement search capabilities inside ofthe application. Users usually would ike to get some set of records based on condition(s), not to navigate through all the records. It will allows to narrow down selection and will allow application to work with small amount of records ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Performance

  I am currently in the process of migrating DTS packages to SSIS. I am finding that most of the packages are running faster, but some of them are taking longer to execute. The DTS package copies data from our Production server to Development. It uses a Copy SQL Server Objects Task to copy only the data from about 50 tables. This takes about 3.5 minutes. I created the exact same package in SSIS using the Transfer SQL Server Objects Task and it is running about 5 minutes. Another package I am having this problem with is only copying data from 1 table using a Copy SQL Server Objects Task. This package executes in 19 minutes. I have created the exact same package twice. Once using Transfer SQL Server Objects and once with a data flow task ...Show All
