  I have the following text box ="*Of which" & Format(Sum(Fields!ID.Value, "Footnoteall"),"c") & "is coded as "" 00 no applicable SIC Code" The report is driven off a SP that a has two paremeters (date,state), I have one state that when its chosen, I want the textbox to appear, when any of the other states are chosen I dont want the text box to appear.

• Visual Studio Team System Build Information Record

  Hi, Is there is any way that we can store and retrieve the file names and it's respective version which went in to Specific executable build. I found that one way of doing it in TF is by using Labels associated during build process by Build server. But I find it has a potential problem , because Labels can be moved to new version or delete from a specific file version. Clearcase has a powerful auditing functionality (Configuration record) which records all the files and respective revision went in to build and which can't be edited accidentally.Do we have similar functionality in Team System Thanks In advance Pramod What you need is a VersionSpec for the files that went ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Migrating from ASP Web Service to WCF Service

  Can anyone point me at resources or samples of how to access a WCF service from a Compact Framework 2.0 application As I understand it the WCF service has to use basicHttpBinding and that the Compact Framework 2.0 app accesses it as a asmx client. I'd really love to see some samples. Also, can anyone comment about problems or limitations they've run into in doing this Thanks! To expand on this, I'm really looking for help in a couple of areas. The first is simply the confirmation that I can access a WCF service from a Net CF 2.0 app, and any details that go with that. I'm looking for any sample code or discussion of exactly how to accomplish this. Second, I am wondering if the hosting environ ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums map.GetRoute flags and numbers

  Hello everyone, I found map.DeleteAllPushpins(); removes the flags and numbers on the route path, is there any way I can prevent it Yuki Yuki Chen wrote: Thanks John , I call map.DeleteAllPushpins(); on the attach event onendzoom, as map.GetRoute zoom to the route, the pins on the route are deleted when map is zooming to the route. And I have a lot of other pins, I cant keeptrack of each of them and delete them one by one .. because it'll slow down a lot.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 360 Controller Image in a help context

  Anyone know the legal issues around using an image of the 360 controller in the context of a help screen. IE: What buttons on the controller perform what actions in the game. This is a Windows game so I'm wondering if MS allows for that. Glenn, When I click on your link, it takes me to a Microsoft Connect 'Page not found' page. I see this a lot when trying to vote and I am currently logged into Passport. I think this problem may have been raised a number of times but I thought I would bring it to your attention.

• Visual Basic When will Classic ASP be desupported?

  When will classic ASP be desupported It looks like VS.NET 2005 doesn't work well with ASP, so will ASP be desupported when VS.NET 2003 is desupported Will this happen when the next version of VS.NET is released I would say that was probably a fair assumption of what will probably happen. I would say that most new development is ASP.NET, I cant see many people intentionally choosing ASP Classic as a new development platform but support for technology whether free or paid will probably go on for a long while yet. Its a shame some hold back onto old technologies for so long when newer much better technologies become available - MS have to provide some degree of support for this scenario and what eventually happens is that it beco ...Show All

• .NET Development Connection Pooling questions

  Does a connection pool exist on a per-application basis, or is is "global" to a machine If it is per-application, then what is the disadvantage of creating one SqlConnection object, and using that connection throughout an application I've read that keeping one connection open is a waste of resources, but if the connection pool is keeping the connection anyway, how am I saving resources by creating a new one in code each time I need one Obviously either everyone else has it wrong, or else I don't understand something. What am I missing Thanks, Kirk Hi boban.s, Just to clarify my own understanding of this and as I'm curious, suppose I have within an ASP.NET web app a connection string like th ...Show All

• Visual Basic MultiColumn Listbox(add item: Object Text, Object)

  How do I add a new Listbox item where item1, column1 holds a TreeNode object text; item1, column2 holds a TreeNode object. The ListBox would display item1, column1(TreeNode object text) but hide item1, column2(TreeNode object). I have a TreeNode search procedure that stores the .Find TreeNode results (TreeNode object only at this point) in a ListBox. I want to store both the Node Text (column1) and Node object (column2) as one item in the ListBox but want the user to only see the Node text (column1). Then I want to make TreeView1.SelectedNode = Me.ListBox1.SelectedItem... and the TreeNode object (column2) - the actual TreeNode object returned from the .Find function. Thanx in advance! Why do you need two columns then if you ma ...Show All
