• SQL Server Setting a Default Confidentiality message

  Our company requires a "confidentiality message" displayed on all web pages, documents and reports. Is there a way for Reporting Services or IE for that matter to display a default confidentiality message accross all reports rather than editing each individual report Thanks in advance. That may provide a solution for all newly created reports but we have hundreds of reports in use now that require the confidentiality message added to each one. I am interested in a way to apply this message to all reports rather than edit each and every one of them. Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual C# is as Keyword

  I have a general event handler function. and has a general object passed to it, but I have to use a "is" or "as" to decode the type, is it possible that the base class can detect the type and call the function for that type I don't what to use methodinvoke because it is so slowwwwww. Another apporach would be to anonymous delegates would help but I don't like putting several delegates in one method to handle each type.. and I would have to use continutions to continue the event pump... (ie see robots framework for an example) And I don't want to declare delegates for each type because this means more work for the programmer... void handler(baseobject ev){ if (ev is MyEvent) { MyEvent evmy= (MyEvent)ev); ...Show All

• Windows Forms Sort Text based on number order

  Hi there I have a dataset with a number of tables, all filled by reading an XML file (no sql). I'm using a DataGridView on my form to display one of the tables. The table has a field that is a string but mostly contains numbers. Sometimes it may contain letters but for the moment lets just assume the column is a string representation of numbers.

• SQL Server #Error in total fields

  I am getting a #error in my subtotal and total fields, I have data in a field (on a table) as follows which displays 0.00 if there is a zero in the divide by field, otherwise it performs the divide and gives me a percentage difference from the two fields. This works fine =iif(Fields!REPCYINC.Value=0,0,(Fields!REPCYINC.Value) / iif(Fields!REPCYPROD.Value=0,1,Fields!REPCYPROD.Value)) * 100 Yet when i try to get this in a total field by doing an AVG it fails, and gives #error, please help, no matter how many iifs a wrap aroun dit it doesnt help.

• Software Development for Windows Vista DirectShow within Direct3D render loop

  I am developing a 2D/3D interface using Direct3D. I am trying to also include a video window within the interface to display live TV from a tuner card. I am using VMR9. The problem I have is that the video is flickering, seemingly caused by the drawing loop. After I call D3D Present(), I have to tell the VMR9 window to repaint itself using RepaintVideo(), otherwise the video does not show at all. I am very new to DirectShow and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Dustin, without knowing the methods you are using to generate your drawing I cannot sugguest which method to use.  Searching was the only thing that could be sugguested.  Drawings can be generated with GDI, GDI+, Direct3 ...Show All

Else, take the database offline for the duration of the time difference (17 hours), change the setting, then place it back online. ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to modify the ToolBoxItem.CreateComponentsCore defaultValues parameter

  ToolBoxitem has a CreateComponents core method and one of the parameters is a set of Default Values that the ToolBox uses to setup the control it will create. How can I modify what is passed into there BEFORE this method is called My design surface is based off of Form. I would like to override the method where the drop happens and the create components core is called. I've looked at the call stack for this and there are about 15 things that happen before it gets to this method, so I'm not sure where to jump in (or if I even can) Thanks for the help. When you redo, is the Location property set correctly I.e. try and drop the item at the bottom right of the form. Is it only the properties that you ...Show All

• .NET Development suggestions for naming a Name field in a lookup table?

  What is the suggested standard for naming a Name column in a Type, or lookup table I would like to create a lookup table with two three fields, a counter (PK) and then Name and Description. However the Name field indicates a reserved word and I would like to use something else that is not a potential problem. What is the normal standard is the MS world for this Thanks. You can always be more specific and say TypeName or CustomerName or whatever it maps to. So for example if this lookup table is for object names, use ObjectName, ObjectDescription and ObjectID. The benefit of this is IF later on you join this to some other table you can refer to the field names without having to qualify them ...Show All
