• Visual C# Recursive call?

  Hello, I studied this source on indexing public Employee this[string index] { get { if (index.Length == 0) { // handle bad index } return this[FindEmployee(index)]; // 'FindEmployee' returning an int } } I created my own equally look-alike function but if the 'return this...' is executed the get property is again accesses causing recursive calls of my getter. Is that correct (offtopic: by the way, how do I mark code as code I don't see any button or indicator to do so...) Regards, Henk Are you having an internal list that holds the employees If that is true you need to return the item at the index of that list. Your current call is callin ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Hide address bar IE7

  Hi Is there a way to hide the address bar completely, without using the Kiosk mode I work at a library and in IE6 we have the catalogue running without the address bar to stop students typing in the location they want to go to, but this doesn't work in version 7.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Currently Playing Media

  Hi, I'm making a utility that needs to monitor when the audio changes that you are listening to in Media Player, is there anyway to do this What I want is an effect simular to the Media Information option in messenger, where Media Information updates as your song changes, etc. Any thoughts I would be gratefull, thankyou. PsychUK wrote: It's all very complicated, it's a shame the media information doesnt get written to the registry. It might make your task easier, but it would be a malware author's dream. The potential to create and publish malformed media streams whose data could be written to the registry by WMP itself is probably a can of worms better left closed. ...Show All

• SQL Server Mix Relative and strict dates

  I am trying to write a report where I can have a drop down with values like yesterday,today,lastweek. But I also want the user to be able to select a specific range, say 7/1/2006 to 7/5/2006. Also why can't i update the value of a parameter through to an expression Like set the value to =Today(). It throws an error about the type. Can someone point me in the right direction here Expressions are compiled at publish-time and cannot be changed without re-publishing the report. This re-publishing can be done programmatically, but I think there are better alternatives. What are you looking to accomplish with changing the expression Ian ...Show All

• .NET Development Question about DataTable Constraints

  It seems the only constraints you can add to a DataTable are UniqueConstraints and ForeignKeyConstraints. I would like to see a CheckConstraint such as column value < x or > 0 or <> 0…. Is this possible with DataTables There are only UniqueConstraints and ForeignKeyConstraints for a DataTable, but you can hook into the RowChanging and ColumnChanging events of the DataTable and check for legitimate column values there.

• SQL Server Framework 2.0 changes - TCP Provider, error: 0 - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

  If you connect to a server and open a query in SQL Managment studio (2005) and looses connection and then regain the connection, when you try to run the query it gives me a "TCP Provider, error: 0 - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host."   This happens against both 2005 and 2000 servers.   If I re-run the query it works.   However, this happens in our VB.NET app as well for clients with Wireless connections.   So, something has changed in Framework 2.0 regarding this, does anyone know how to tell the client to not throw this error and just try connecting the server instead which will work   If I remember correctly, the same procedure should work for RTM bits. Is it not workin ...Show All

• SQL Server Parse dataset in report

  I am using a "jump to report" that accepts multivalue parameters for fiscal periods. It works fine, returning the correct data. However, I want to add the chosen fiscal periods to the report header in a textbox. When I use =Join(Parameters!DATEfiscalperiod.Value, ", " ) the results in the textbox show as: [DATE].[fiscal_period].&[5], [DATE].[fiscal_period].& When using:: =Parameters!DATEfiscalperiod.Value results in [ rsInvalidExpressionDataType] The Value expression used in textbox ‘textbox5’ returned a data type that is not valid. Is there a way to parse the dataset to only return "5, 6" in a string TIA ...Show All

• SQL Server Multiple grouping and blank pages

  I have a report with 2 types of grouping. The first is monthly and the second is basically a grand total. I want to have the report with 1 page per month with the grand total on the last page. Everything is in one table object, with two groups in the table footer. The problem that I have is that if I put "Page Break After" on my Monthly grouping the total is going to end up on a different page at the end. If I put "Page Break Before" I get a blank page at the start. Anyone got a idea of how to get myself out of this Make sure the table starts from the top of the report, i.e. don't leave any empty space before the table. Then you shouldn't get the blank page.

• Software Development for Windows Vista recommend way to do IPC between app and service

  Hi guys, until now I've used (unnamed) Pipes to communicate between apps and services. For that to work I used OpenProcess(serviceProcessHandle, PROCESS_DUP_HANDLE), so that I can duplicate the pipe handle from the service to the app. This still works in Vista with UAP turned off - even from a guest account. But as soon as I turn UAP on, OpenProcess fails with "access denied" - even in elevated mode. I guess that's intended So since my old IPC method doesn't work now, anymore, I'd like to know which IPC method Microsoft now recommends to be used for communication between apps and services. Thanks! Thanks, I'll look into this. Last time I checked out named pipes I didn't like them at all for wha ...Show All
