• SQL Server Problem rendering Reports with sub-reports to CSV

  Hi, all. Hope all is well with you. I have a Q re Reporting Services, hope someone can help me out. My setup: SQL Server Reporting Services 2000 SP 2, running in W2K3, Visual Studio 2003. I have a report made up of a few sub-reports, stacked on top of each other. When I render the main report in Report Manager (HTML), the sub-reports comes out on top of each other as designed in the Layout, similarly when I export it to PDF. However, when I export the main report to CSV, all of the sub-reports come out next to each other, rather than on top of each other, as originally designed. Does anyone know how to overcome this problem Thank you very much. Cliff. ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Printing directly to LPT port.

  Hi everyone; I have 2 dot matrix printers installed on a win98 machine. I can successfully print from other machines to the printers on the win98 machine by issuing: set printer to \\win98machine\invoices or set printer to \\win98machine\reports The problem is that I can't find a way to print to these printers from the win98 machine itself. The above set printer command won't work. Neither would set printer to LPT1: or set printer to LPT2: They are simply disregarded and the printer is still the default windows driver. Any ideas would be greatly apreciated. As always - thanks. Cetin; Set printer to name will not print direcly to the port. It wo ...Show All

• Windows Forms "DataGridView.Item" Problems

  I am currently writing an application that reads information from three tables in a SQL 2000 database. I have set up the data connection in Visual Basic .NET 2005 and I have three DataGridViews on the form to display the information. From there, I want to go through each entry and pull out certain cells that match the right criteria and list that information in a treeview. It seems, though, that once I get an item greater than the maximum number for an integer, the program crashes. At the same time, though, if I change my procedure to use long variables, the statement throws an error due to mismatching data types. Any suggestions Thanks. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Using VertexBuffer with Z-Buffer

  I have a primative which I am rendering from a vertex buffer (positioned, colored, textured), among some meshes. All of the meshes seem to work fine with the Z buffer, texutre transparency works fine... except for when I make my primative transparent, you can only see the cleared background, and none of the meshes behind it. Just to give you an idea, here's some code! (obviously not all in the same method). frontVertices = new VertexBuffer ( typeof ( CustomVertex . PositionColoredTextured ), 4, Device, Usage .WriteOnly, CustomVertex . PositionColoredTextured .Format, Pool .Default); CustomVertex . PositionColoredTextured [] vertices = frontVertices.Lock(0, LockFlags .None) as CustomVertex . PositionColoredTextured ...Show All

• Gadgets Version upgrade for gadgets

  Hi! I am just about finished making a gadget - and I'm making the gadget detect if there is a newer version out there. So I compare the System.Gadget.Version and another version number coming via a XML, and if the xml file shows a newer version, the gadget notifies the user about the new version and gives her a link. Now, I have been testing this and there are some shortcomings. Let's say I'm currently running a gadget called mygadget.gadget, and its in my localapp/sidebar folder (since its installed) and it has version no. 0.9. Little later there is a newer gadget with 1.0 version and the xml notifies the 0.9 gadget about the new version. The user clicks the link (that just appeared) and I get the Install dialog...

• Windows Forms How I Can Justify Text in Rchtextbox?

  How I Can Justify Text in Rchtextbox Take a look at the SelectionAlignment Property in the RichTextBox I am guessing perhaps you need to select the text you want to "Justify" then use the SelectionAlignment property to justify the text (Left, Right, Center)   Example:   this .richTextBox1.Select(0, 4); this .richTextBox.SelectionAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;   Of course you would have to implement your way of selecting the specific text you wish to justify   Hope it helps! :-) ...Show All

• Windows Forms Make Form modal to external hWnd

  In a screensaver, when the Options button is clicked in control panel, it calls the screen saver with the command line argument /c:1234567 (for example) where 1234567 is the window handle of the control panel dialog that my Options form needs to be made modal to. How can I do this I tried Control.FromHandle but it returned null. You have to create a class that implements IWin32Window: using System; using System.Windows.Forms; public class Window : IWin32Window {   private IWin32Window _Handle;   public Window(IntPtr handle)  {   _Handle = handle;  }     public IntPtr Handle  {   get { return _Handle; }  } }   You can then do thi ...Show All

• Visual C++ Visual C++ Bitmaps and Graphics

  I would first like to appologise if this thread /question is in the wrong section I am working on an application that has a large bitmap / graphic imported onto it. This graphic is going to be the user interface. The graphic contains a small number of buttons which obviosly I cannot do anything with at the moment because they are part of the bitmap. Each button has a circle that is supposed to be an LED. So when the button is pushed the LED lights, and when it is pushed again the LED switches off. What I have decided to do is create a Panel for each of the areas where a button is meant to be; and have 2 graphics for each of the buttons: one with a dark green circle, the other with a light green circle.
