• Windows Forms PivotTable (OWC??) SmartClient C# 2005

  Hi, - SmartClient (WinForms) C# 2005 - PivotTable control from OWC 10/11. I have an existing ASP.NET C# 2003 app that uses OWC pivottable controls extensively.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Creating positioned elements with databinding

  Hi, I need to create some positioned content of a Canvas control using databinding to a collection of business objects containing absolute coordinates of every element. I tried with ItemsControl bute the Canvas.Top and Canvas.Left properies cannot be assigned and the elements appear always stacked one under the others. Thankyou in advance Andrea Boschin Sorry, I forgot to mention. The items don't get placed directly in the ItemsPanel . You also need to use the ItemContainerStyle to pass your Canvas.Top/Left values. Something like: < ItemsControl > ... < ItemsControl.ItemContainerStyle > < Style > < Setter Property = " Canvas.Top " Value = " {Binding Y} " /> ...Show All

• Visual C++ CWinFormsControl and VC.NEt

  1) Is CWinFormsControl supported by VC.NET 2) How would I use a .NET control in native code in VC.NET. I wrote some code in VC2005 using the CWinFormsControl class. I included afxwinforms.h in my stdafx.h file to facilitate the class. But when I tried running the code under CV.NET it said that afxwinforms wasn't found. So my question is: Is CWinFormsControl supported by VC.NET . and if so do include afxwinforms.h or something else. and if this is not supported by VC.NET how would I use a .NET control in native code in VC.NET. Thanks! I have VC2005 standard. But yeah, I'm getting a compile error saying that afxwinforms.h was not found when compiling using VC2003.net.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. xBox 360 and Windows Development

  From what I understand the whole point of XNA is to provide an environment for developers to develop games that can run on both the xbox 360 and Microsofts Windows XP. However, when I create a new project I notice that both the xbox and Windows platforms have two different starter projects. If I create a windows project will it still be able to run on an xbox Or should I create an xbox project and a windows project and just use the same source files Another quick question, please correct me if I am wrong, but xbox 360 support is not supported or implemented in XNA yet correct So even if I create an xbox 360 project, I can't use it till the final release of XNA That is why I posted this, because I want to develop it on Windows till t ...Show All

• .NET Development New to Web Services

  I have been developing applications for about 5 years and I have never used web services. Right now I work for a state agency that is wanting to move to a ASP.NET application within the next 2 years. I would like to present them with an option for a smart client application, but I am not familiar with web services or SOA. Can someone please help me out with this What are the differences between web services and SOA Would it be better to create a windows form application or a ASP.NET application using web services or SOA.

• SQL Server How to get Top 3 records in the group level?

  Hi all, I have a query which is grouped by a field called R_ID, which gives me a list of records for each R_ID. So here is the thing, I want to get only top 3 records for each R_ID. I tried using 'select top 3....', but the result is not what I wanted. It doesn't consider the grouping. Is there any way to achieve this task Please let me know if some body has any idea. Thx. Amde: I set up a mock-up to compare Lucky's query with a query based on ROW_NUMBER. I created the T1 table with 32767 distinct R_ID entries and 30 distinct TEXT_DATA entries for each R_ID -- nearly 1,000,000 rows. When I ran Lucky's query with the table without any indexes it took about 102 seconds with 6.6 million logic ...Show All

• SQL Server Calculated Measure at Totals Level

  Hello guys, Y have the following cube. Dimensions: Age group, Year Measures: Mortality, Population, Standard Population (this measures doesn't have Year dim relation because it applies to all Years) I need to get the [Mortality Age Adjusted Rate] defined as: SUM(Expected Death) / SUM(Standard Population) * 100 000 Where: Expected Death = (Mortality / Population) * Standard Population As you can see the Mortality Age Adjusted Rate (MAAR) is a measure that is not at the row level but it depends of the set of Age Group(s) selected.

• SQL Server Package Configurations - Using One config file for Multiple Packages

  Hi All, I am working on a project currently where we have many SSIS packages and we want to minimize the number of config files to be used. What I was thinking was using one master config file which will have Server/Database info which will be used by all the packages. Now the thing is there are multiple packages which are being executed from within a master package and I was wondering if this will be an issue. Is there anything else that I will have to keep in mind Any help is appreciated. Thanks If my memory serves correctly then you will get lots of warnings about references in your config file to properties that don't exist in your package. But it should still execute OK. -Jamie ...Show All

• Visual C++ possible compiler bug: C++ exception handling crashes when fibers are in use

  When a catch block inside a fiber contains a SwitchToFiber() API call, the next throw will crash in some internal, compiler generated code (near a call to IsExceptionObjectToBeDestroyed()). See test snippet below. It consistently crashes on on the marked line. If you move the SwitchToFiber() call after the catch(), it works fine. Tested with VC++7.1, VC++8.0, both debug / optimized and single-threaded / multi-theaded (/MT,/MD) compile options -- makes no difference.
