• Visual Basic Crystal Report And Similar Tool For Printing Document

  May i know is there any tutorial on Crystal Report, i want to retrieve some data from database, format it and print it out. Apart from Crystal Report, what other tools is suitable for this Thank you. Now i am able to display the data from the dataset.

• Windows Forms Listbox current item is not selected item.

  Hello, I am calling the Focus method on a listbox so that it has the focus on a form. The problem with this is there are no visual cues to the user that the listbox has focus. If I use the tab key to give focus to listbox it draws the items with focus by putting a dotted rectangle around the item. How do I force the item in the listbox that has focus to draw with the focus rectangle without using the tab key to give the listbox focus. I was able to get this to work (show the rectangle) simply by setting the Focus: ListBox1.Focus() However, the focus did not get set to the control at all if I execute this line in the Load event for the form. If I put the statement in a different event in the form, focus is changed to the control ...Show All

• Visual C++ error LNK2005 on static class variable

  Hi again, I am getting this linker error below and could not quite figure out why. It seems that the linker is saying I declared my static class variable OptionFactory EuropeanCall::MyFactory mutliple times. Perhaps it is the way I am declaring it inside VanillaOptions.h I am rather new to C++ so it is not obvious to me. Thank you for any help! Linking...

• Windows Forms Form Maximize

  Hi, I have two forms, Parent MDI form and a child form In VS 2005, if I use the following code right after InitializeComponent method in the constructor, I am getting two sets of control box buttons. Form2 _frm = new Form2(); _frm.MdiParent = this; _frm.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized; _frm.Show(); Thanks, Looks like a bug, and a spectacular one at that. The good thing is that there is a simple workaround: just move your code to the Form_Load of the parent and the problem is gone. HTH --mc ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) TruncateExistingOrCreateNewTable

    What that mean bros I hoping it is just what it is with no ill affects.  Thanks, BillB If you are trying to sync table (T) and that table happen to exist in the client database and contains some data, then specifying CreationOption for T as TruncateExistingOrCreateNewTable instructs the sync runtime to delete the contents of T and reuse it (schema, indexes, constraints.. etc of T are kept intact). If T did not exist, then it will be created in the first sync based on the schema returned from the server. Thanks ...Show All

• Visual C++ C++/CLI Property Block Question - Compiler Bug?

  I am getting a compiler error when using a property block in a derived class that uses the same property name as the base class. Both have been declared 'private'. This does not occur when using a simple propery with the built in backing store. Here is the error: error C2248: 'A::Internal_3' : cannot access private class declared in class 'A' public ref class A { public: A(void) {} virtual void DoNothing() {} private: int _internal; int Internal_1() { return _internal; }  // simple 'get' style method property int Internal_2;  // property using built-in backing store property int Internal_3 { int get() { return _internal; } } }; public ref class B : public A { public: B(void) {} virtual void DoNothing() overrid ...Show All

• .NET Development Application Authentication

  Is there any way to control access to an application. This application would be a stand alone app not connected to the web in any way but need to authenticate specific users to keep the unprivileged user from accessing the documents in the app. Ive looked online and in a local bookstore and all I can unearth are references to web authentication. I konw there is a way to authenticate with the current user logged in in XP but I would rather not restrict the app to only being used whilst on your login. Any ideas Thomas I've never done either. Would you mind explaining what each of those would need I'm new to the world of VC# programing and VS. Thanks Thomas ...Show All

• SQL Server How to manage all the SqlNK versions at the same time?

  Hi everyone, Nowadays, we've got four sql versions running around: 6.5, 7.0, 2000 and 2005. If you try attach from Enterprise Manager 2005 servers it doesn't allow you because of 2005 uses SMO instead of DMO. If you try attach from Management Studio 6.5 or 7.0 servers it doesn't allow you too. We'd like to have from the same place a tool for all of them. Is it possible Thanks in advance, I have client tools installed for SQL 6.5, 2000 & 2005 in order to manage our environment that is a mixture of SQL 6.5 to 2005 versions, I have no problem in having 3 of them and using at same time.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Glass effect inside my program - not to desktop.

  Is it possible to add a rectangle on top of a TextBlock and add some kind of transparent glass-effect to the rectangle.

The window should be solid but if i have some text inside my program i want to be able to cover it with the glasseffect (not simple opacity).   Thanks anyway. ...Show All

• SQL Server SSAS Logging

  Is there a way to log SSAS errors to a SQL database I know you can do this with the query log, but I want the what is written in the actual log file to a SQL table. I am able to do this by parsing the SSAS log file in SSIS and inserting it into a table. Is there an easier way Thanks in advance, Nick With SP2 that is coming soon you will get a ASTrace sample application that is going to give you ablity to push AS trace to SQL server table. It is pretty simple and based on the Profiler object model that is doing most of the work. Hang on little while till SP2 goes out.
