• SQL Server displaying % in value

  Hi I am calculating percentage using expression. I want to display % at the end of the result. If I use P1 or P0 somehow it multiplies the result with 100 I guess. Here is what my calculated value is 15.384515 and I want to display 15.38% Using P1 or P0 I am getting 1,538.5% How can I get the desired result Any help would be appreciated. Regards Amit Hi niallhannon, I also have a similar problem in formatiing the data after rendering to excel. The Field value is a percentage. If there isn't any value zeros are getting displayed. So if i use a format expression #,# (not to display anything in the cell),the percentage field is getting disturbed and is not getting di ...Show All

• Visual C# library not registered error

  Hello, I hope someone will have an answer to this question... Using VS. Net + C# I have a a console project called implementer that communicates with another addin project. Both are supposed to send and receive a "struct" that holds a hashtable to store/change info. I got the addin to show up right and it starts listening to the events been triggered by excel. In one of the events, the addin class, via invocation, is supposed to instantiate an instance of the struct and pass it to the running instance of the implementer class which changes and modifies the info in the hashtable of that struct. when trying to send that struct (which is a dll file by itself but added to both projects as reference) I get the error message s ...Show All

• SQL Server Restoring SQL2000 bkp file on SQL2005

  Is it possible to restore SQL2000 backup to SQL2005 Or I have to restore the DB to SQL2000 and then upgrade it to SQL2005 Can someone provide me ways to upgrade SQL2000 DB to SQL2005 Thanks, Hiten Simply restore it on the SQL 2k5 server. Backups of 2k are compatible with SQL2k5 (but not vice versa). You have to be aware that the internal (meta) structure of the database is upgraded during the restore process and therefore can’t be backuped and restored on the SQL2k after the upgrade.

• Visual Studio Team System Data Compare on selected tables does not generate update script

  I'm trying to do a data compare of selected tables from two databases. I ran a schema compare first and verified that the table structure is identical. I am able to select the source and targe dbs and the tables on the next screen. When I click the finish button- nothing happens. No comparison happens. The data update script pane is greyed out and the the pane where I expect to see comparisons between the tables I selected - displays a link to "connect to databases". There are no warnings, errors, or messages. What am I missing Version: 2.0.50727.72 We are still waiting on information from you.

• Smart Device Development Questions about Smartphone's programming

  Hello, I am a novice at this and I have some basic questions (may be quite silly). Well: How many ways of building a new window/view are there in Windows Mobile 2005 I tried to do it creating a new Form and make Application .Run( new Form2 ()); where Form2 is the new created view. The trouble comes when, at the exit of Form2, the system shows an error: "An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in System.Windows.Forms.dll Additional information: ArgumentException" Which are the tasks of Form2.cs and Form2.Designer.cs files I think that Form2.Designer.cs is the one who build the view, and the other one makes the main tasks. When VS 2005 deploys the appli ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Visual Studio hangs when I try to "Check Out" a file from TFS Source Control

  Help! Starting 2 days ago I found that if I tried to right click on a file in TFS source control, VS would just hang. I could only close it by ending the task in task manager. I tried the repair option for Team Explorer and also tried the SP1 upgrade. It's still hanging anytime I try to manually check out a file via the source control explorer. NOTE: It seems as though I'm still able to check out files if I'm in a solution. But not directly from the Source Control explorer. And this issue is only affecting me. The rest of the team is fine. This is becoming more than annoying. Thanks for any help. Sincerely, Well it doesn't look like the IDE ever attempted the server call to PendEdit, so the hang is apparently occurring ...Show All
