• SQL Server Filtering by date on a chart

  Hi all, I have a datasource with three columns. NAME / DATE / COST The dates run from January 2005 to March 2007. They appear in the following format in the query window: 03/01/2005 00:00:00 All I want to do is put the dataset in to a graph and filter the date so it only shows any cost from January 2006 onwards. What ever date I type in the filter I get the following error "Cannot compare date of types System.Datetime and System.String" Anyone know what I am doing wrong or how to solve the problem Cheers, Rob. It's complaining that you're comparing a date to a string, so conver the string to date. For your expression, try =CDate("1/1/2006"). ...Show All

  Hi, I am using sockets to communicate with a Java Server. I get a list of sponsors as text so I used sockets instead of tcpClient.

• Visual Studio The expression cannot be evaluated while in design mode

  I have only one window open and it is a vb document. I never use design mode for anything (with exception to SOME windows GUI interfaces... but none in this project). IF I am not in design mode... and ONLY use text editors... how can I get this message: The expression cannot be evaluated while in design mode. Is this a MSFT BUG or is there a way to be in design mode without actually using the designer, attempting to engage it, or actually using anything non-text to write a program Thank you for the "SANE" response. Yes, this took place in the immediate window. I can usually instantiate class libraries from the immediate window without clicking the play button (or entering debugger). Does this mean that perhaps I ma ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Vista and Symantec Ghost 8.x

  Ever since build 5231, I've found myself unable to use Ghost (8.0 or 8.2) "as I've always been able to".  By which I mean with 5219, XP, 2000, etc., I can just create a partition backup, restore a partition backup, no muss, no fuss, all successful. (I have an XP-compatible boot manager, have four independant partitions that are always hidden from one another, and I restore just one partition based on what OS/test/scenario I need to create.) Now with 5231 and later, creating a Ghost image of a partition always results in the "unable to access \windows\winload.exe" (or whatever that exact full-screen message from the Vista boot manager is).  Regardless of whether I'm restoring back to exactly the same partition as I backed up ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to call webservices in a workflow in an asynchronous way

  Hi, I am doing R&D on the features of Windows Workflow Foundation which we are going to apply for our project after release of WWF. we are using SOA Architecture. So I need to call services based on the rules. I have succeded in doing them practically using Sequential and State Machine Workflow. So, now I want to achieve Asynchronous way of calling webservices. I don't know whether this can be possible with WWF or not. If it is possible, can any body please help me in doing this. Thanks in advance. This looks like you are on the right track. I'm not sure why you can't see the interface as you have it declared correctly as far as I can tell. I've posted a simple example out for you to look at. Let me know if this helps. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions nested subs

  Is it possible to nest subs in VB ...How By default it's giving an error... Thanks Presumably, you want to encapsulate functionality. What you can have is nested classes: this allows you to wrapper your complete function in a single class, and have sub-classes that perform specific functions. These sub-classes would not be visible outside the main, wrapper, class. Public Class MyFunction Private Class SubFunction ' This class is completely encapsulated ' in the MyFunction class, and is not visible Public Shared Function MultiplyNumbers( ByVal x As Integer , ByVal y As Integer ) As Integer Return x * y End Function ...Show All

• Windows Forms tablelayoutpanel flicker / performance

  We are finding that the tablelayoutpanel control is causing a lot of flicker, especially flicker when resizing. We have an windows forms architecture based on user controls and tablelayoutpanels (we use the CAB). Our major flicker issues happen on our detail UI elements, such as a single row data maintenance user control of the pattern: Page Title Label A: TextBoxA Label B: TextBoxB Save Button / Cancel Button These control are organised in a tablelayoutpanel with 2 columns (one for the labels and one for the textboxes) and the desired amount of rows (one for the Page Title, a spacer row, one for row A, one for row B, a spacer row, a row for Save and Cancel buttons). The 1st column is AutoSize and the 2nd column is set to a Size Ty ...Show All

  I have some compatibility issues. i have my culture settings set to german(coz i am german), if i create a pushpin via new VELatLong(52.5,9.5) its no problem to show the pin in 2D mode, coz the 2d api always wants 52.5 no matter what locale i have set(in german culture settings 52,5 is correct), but the 3d control takes care of, so if i set my locale to german, it recognizes 52.5 as 52 million and 500000, and hangs. I thought everything was tested to support multiple locals, but bummer, its not yet. We have had really good responces form the VE devs on this forum including those from the 3D world.
