• Visual Basic filling a bitvector32 in a loop

  Dear all, I can fill a bitvector32 like this: Dim InBytes As Int32 dim i for i = 1 to 1000000 InBytes = i 'for example Dim InBitVector As New System.Collections.Specialized.BitVector32(InBytes) next i and then I can read out the individual bits (need this for a graphics conversion). Problem: this gets VERY slow, and I trailed that to the Dim InBitVector statement. Is there ANY way to assign an Int32 number to the InBitVector WITHOUT using the dim statement Thanks, Kees Ok, You're right I think we need to back up and develop a common vocabulary. It looks to me that you trying to extract various bit fields out of bytes and combin ...Show All

• SQL Server RS 2005 - Report model using Analysis Services?

  Hi, Does anyone know if its possible to create a Report Model that can use Analysis Services as a datasource Im using RS 2005, connecting to AS 2005. I've looked into creating a report model, which requires a Data Source View. It seems that you cannot create a Data Source View based on an Analysis Services connection - as far as I can tell. Does anyone know if AS data can be used in a model Many thanks Jeremy Thanks for the replies. I have finally found a way to do this. You can: 1.Go into SQL Server Management Studio 2.Right click on the Models folder and create a new Analysis Services datasouce 3.Then you can right click on the new AS data source and select 'Generate Model'. ...Show All

• SQL Server Enumerate SQL Server built-in functions

  Hi I am trying to build a tree similar to the one in SQL Server Management Studio for the system functions in the SQL language. I would like to group them by type (e.g. string functions) and display information about the parameters and return types, etc. Is there a way to get these programmatically I would like to avoid typing them out by hand. Thanks Chris Hi Chris, I'm not sure this is the right forum for this question. You can retrieve this information from the sytem views. E.g.: select ob.name as func, parms.name as parm, parms.parameter_id as pid, ty.name as type from sys.all_objects ob, sys.all_parameters parms, sys.types as ty where ob.type = 'FN' a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Work Item customization

  Can a field be presented as radio buttons (i.e. toggle on/off) Looks like the only way to do it is to give a field two possible values (Yes or No). Is this so Thanks, Maggie It depends on whether you want to write some code to make that happen. By default, no you can't have radio buttons. You can have a list box with Yes or No, as you mentioned. However, with SP1, you can create your own custom controls. So you could build a custom work item control that displays information as radio buttons. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Help with Invoke on CF

  I have been trying to nail this problem for a week now, but can't seem to get it right. I am building a Jabber application for the PocketPC and am using a third-party component for n-software. The n-software component does the usual things: expose a connect method, but also an OnSync event that fires when the device has logged into the Jabber server successfully. The OnSync THEN downloads the Jabber Roster (ala MyBuddies). Once I have these buddies, I want to parse them and put them, by group, into a TreeView. The issue is the old threading problem. I can't get the TreeView to load the Roster. ANy help would be appreciated... THANKS. My code is as follows: Delegate Sub MyEventHandler(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As nsoftware.IPWor ...Show All
