• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Find & Replace in RichTextBox

  Hi, I am working on an editor based on the richtextbox control. I would like to ask how I can perform a Find & Replace action on the richtextbox content. There are no related-methods in rtb, TextPointer, TextRange, TextSelection. Also, when I tried to programmatically change the content by changing the textrange.Text or textselection.Text property, the text can got changed but all the original formatting are lost. How can I preserve the formatting while changing text Thanks in advance. there is no such api currently.... you can look at http://blogs.msdn.com/prajakta/archive/2006/11/01/navigate-words-in-richtextbox.aspx to see how yo can identify words and then add necessary logic to modify th ...Show All

• SQL Server parameter boxes are empty

  Hi, I am have a reporting server which connects to a analysis server which connects to a sql server and a db2 server. I am using windows integrated security all the time except for the DB2 connection. That is a fixed username/password. Reporting server (RS), analysis server (AS) and sql server are all on the same machine. I created a local group and added the correct users to it. I gave that group browse rights on the reports so that works correctly. I created a role in AS and added that group to that role. Gave all read rights to that role. I created a login for that group on the SQL server and gave that group db_datareader role. When I connect as an administrator every reports runs fine. When the test user connects t ...Show All

• SQL Server Is it possible to process special characters in "like" expressions as regular characters?

  In our system users can enter text into a field which then forms the basis for a "like" expression. Problem: they may enter brackets, underscores, even % - and SQL Server will interpret these as wildcards, regular expressions, etc. That is not the behavior we want. Instead we want to prepend and append whatever they entered with a % and have SQL Server search appropriately, meaning: we want SQL Server to search on exactly what was entered by the user. So for instance is there an escape sequence we can wrap the user-entered data with to force SQL Server to not process wildcards, regular expressions, etc. Thanks for your time on this matter! You can escape : select 'hello' where '100% Over Budget' li ...Show All

• SQL Server How To Execute an Oracle Stored Procedure from DTS

  In SQL Server 2000 DTS How do I call and oracle stored procedure I've tried using the Execute SQL task with the Exec <my procedure name> ; and it errors.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Vector array style

  There does not seem to be a way to access vector elements using array notation, this is really useful for algorithms, any plans for this in the future Fluxtah accessing vector element using ".field" notation is faster than accessing as "[index]" notation, because accessing trough an index requires some extra math, while accessing as a field requires a simpler memory addressing Well, maybe, on some CPUs. However, both x86 and PPC have instructions that access "register plus register displacement" in a single cycle, just like they have "register plus constant" in a single cycle. Thus, there ...Show All

  I have two projects under one solution. Each of these projects opens the same bound database, Is there any way I can use a common routine to assign the bound database and which app.config should it be in. Share the code that accesses the database. You can either move it into one project, expose public methods for the other project to call, or you can create a third data-access project, and call this from all your other projects. ...Show All

• .NET Development Timer not firing at set rate...

  I set up a timer for my basic form. The only problem is that it only fires at 30 times per second. I would like it to fire at 60 times per second so I set it's interval to 15 milliseconds but still fires 30 times per second. Anybody know why Excuse me if it is basically obvious. Thanks, Devin OK I set up a psuedo timer by hooking a method into the WndProc override and it is firing at the same rate as the timer was. I'm assuming that the timer fires from the WndProc method Is there a way to tell the system to fire the timer or WndProc at a faster rate -Devin ...Show All
