• SQL Server date parameter issue

  hi all We are a multi site / multi language company so do not want to hardcode the date format - these reports will be on intranet Using MS Sql - Reporting Services 2005 Using no formatting on fields = yyyy-mm-dd - is how it is displayed. I added a @startdate and an @enddate parameter I read up and saw this information: Report properties set 'Language' setting to '=User!Language' to detect user culture automatically My regional settings are set to English (New Zealand) but whatever I do I receive no data - (data is definately there eg when run without parameters) so it is obviously the dates incorrect. Can someone give me some advice on what else to check. Have you tried the ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How do you pass data from an html web form back to the custom form activity (to the XOML only state workflow)?

  Matt/All WF Gurus,   We are creating a custom Form activity that will load a web html form and retrieve results back into the XOML only state workflow.  We can program the form loading in the browser from a custom activity, but are not sure how to retrieve the data from the form directly into the state workflow so that the workflow can persist this data and continue working with this data (from the form).   How can you pass data back from a web form directly into a running workflow during an idle state (XOML only state workflow using WF 3.0)   Any suggestions     Sincerely, John Portnov John, I'd start by modeling the communication using an object or coll ...Show All

• Visual Studio Remove .NET Language Pack

  Hi Having automatic Windows Update turned on (which I changed after this experience) the .NET Language Pack (German) was installed on my machine and after that half of my VS is german, the other half is english. More than that the german translations are more confusing than helpful. Is there a way to switch back to having everything in english without re-installing VS completely. I have tried to uninstall the language pack - no change. Thanks Alex Thanks for your comments. My problem is different. Not only exceptions are german but half of my menu structure is german, half is english :( ...Show All

• Visual Basic User Control problem

  I have a UserControl which basically shows in a textbox the content of a row in a table relationally linked to another table in a database and also a combobox containing the contents of that second table. This mean that as you travel through the main table you can see what the linked text entries are and have a combobox when entering a new record. I started the table in VB.NET 2002 and upgraded it to VB2005 Express and have been using it successfully for some months.So, it has saved considerable code and added to my VB skills. However, having recently discovered the MaxDropDown size property for the combobox I wanted to add a line to the UserControl to fix the MaxDropDown size to be the size of the records in the table it accesses.

• Visual Studio Editor for virtual node

  Hi Guys, My problem is the following in a nutshell : I've created a new project type which can contain physical files and virtual nodes as well. Let's say there is a tree structure displayed in the solution explorer and there is only one XML file behind it which describes the structure has to be displayed. It works fine, but... I'd like to open a virtual node in core XML editor so the problem starts here. I use OpenSpecificEditor method of SVsUIShellOpenDocument service and it seems that this method really requires that the given pszMkDocument parameter could be a valid file path (but I don't have one) and of course this file has to exist on disk, otherwise I'm given an exception. I tried to pass an URL format unique identi ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development How to detect tab-change in IE7?

  Hi I'm wondering if anyone knows how to detect when a tab changes in IE My toolbar has to detect when a) A tab changes site (This I already do by Navigate and DocumentComplete) b) When you change between tabs (this I have no idea how to do). I know there is a DWebBrowserEvents2::WindowStateChanged I maybe could use but I have no idea how to use it The only thing I've been able to even think about up until now is to create a thread that runs every second and checks what tab is visible, if it's not the one that was visible last check then fetch the document URL location from that, not that I've even gotten that to work very well... So I was hoping someone might be able to help me out, maybe show me some code on how to achieve knowing when th ...Show All

• Windows Forms Associate Data Source with CurrencyManager ??

  Hi, is there a way to associate a Data Source with a CurrencyManager I'm facing a problem that I have a ComboBox from another table, and need to add the key in the master table.

• Visual FoxPro Passing multiple variables from forms w/ VFP7SP1

  I'm an old Clipper (S' 87) programmer that needs to figure out forms with VFP. The attached code generates a form containing a set of four optiongroups that set basic comm port parameters on the local host for serial communication with an instrument (usually an electronic balance). I'm trying to use the form to replace a series of cascading menus in the original program. My intent is for the form to recognize the 5 existing parameters in the main prg, permit user input and then pass any changes back to the calling procedure or function using a array embedded in the form when the user clicks [OK]. Clicking [Cancel] should leave the parameters unchanged. Can somebody please suggest a technique for passing multiple variables back and forth be ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. The woes of boxed objects (and foreach)

  Here's another post by someone who has learned everything through mistakes, not learning it right in the first place . :) I've been working on some nasty GC issues on Xbox360 for some time now, and through RPM and CLR Profiler I've started to make some sense of things, so I thought I'd let everyone in on my experience so that the next guy (or gal) with these issues can have some info. So here's the story: Remote Performance Monitor showed 240 boxed value types per delta. Having no idea how I was creating boxed objects (or what they are), I ran the CLR profiler--as it would happen, I had 4 foreach calls per frame--for a postprocessing effect. According to CLR Profiler, the foreach calls were creating System.Collections.Generic.List<T> ...Show All
