• Visual Studio Express Editions AddNew in Navigation Bar - want to autofill data in bound fields.

  I'm pretty new to vb.net and very new to 2005, so feel free to answers in begginer language... I need to autofill a field on a data entry form when i click the "addnew" button on the Navigation Bar. (The one that is automatically generated by 2005 when I add the data source grid/fields to a form. (I have both the grid and data fields on the form becuase I want to see all records for one customer as I enter new records for him.) I've tried doing it by entering this code: Room_CustomerTextBox.Text = custStr in this routine: Private Sub BindingNavigatorAddNewItem_Click (custStr is a global field containing the value that should autofill in this field for every record added for that customer) This code works fin ...Show All

• .NET Development sprintf() for unmanaged C++ in .NET 2005

  Hi all, We have our projects written in native C++ (unmanaged) running on Visual C++6.0. We are migrating all these to .NET 2005 environment. We want to retain all the C++ code(unmanaged) without converting it into managed C++ in .NET environment. The problem that we are facing right now is trying to use the sprintf() function. We use sprintf() in so many places for formatting strings. Since the stdio libraries are deprecated in .NET environment, we are unable to use this function. Any ideas for alternative sprintf function in unmanaged C++ or .NET I tried using String. Format() but it failed to recognize this function. Thanks, Nathan Project + properties, C/C++, Preprocessor, add ...Show All

• SQL Server Delete syntax to delete a record from one table if a matching value isn't found in another

  I'm trying to clean up a database design and I'm in a situation to where two tables need a FK but since it didn't exist before there are orphaned records. Tables are: Brokers and it's PK is BID The 2nd table is Broker_Rates which also has a BID table. I'm trying to figure out a t-sql statement that will parse through all the recrods in the Broker_Rates table and delete the record if there isn't a match for the BID record in the brokers table. I know this isn't correct syntax but should hopefully clear up what I'm asking DELETE FROM Broker_Rates WHERE (Broker_Rates.BID <> Broker.BID) Thanks kfrost: Maybe something like: DELETE FROM Broker_Rates from Broker_Rates a WHERE not exists ( select ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to write Custom Windows Error Reporting

  Hi, I don't know if anyone else has asked this but ah well I need to know something. Anyway have been developing applications for quite some time now but one thing that I could find any information on any search I did on google and msdn was how can I create custom Windows Error Reporting Dialogs. What I am requesting to know is not something new since it's been implemented by some software already (3ds max 9) but I don't know how to do it. The idea behind the whole scene is that I want to replace or modify the built-in Program Error reporting that Microsoft Windows OS has, only for the specific application I want, in order to send the data I want where I want and how I want. Does any1 have a clue on how to archive something like that U ...Show All

• Visual C# Loading RTF file into RichTextBox on load

  Hello. I am new to C#. I may be particularly dense, because I am stuck on something that I feel should be (and probably is) simple. All I want to do, is create a brand new C# project (which I have done), add a RichTextBox control, and display the contents of an RTF file in the box. It will always be the same file, so I don't need an open file dialog or anything like that. I simply want to load an existing RTF file into the RichTextBox. I did some searching through MSDN and found the LoadFile method. I think part of my problem is that I don't know where to put the code. So I humbly ask that someone please walk me through this. I have named the RTF file "myfile.rtf" and it resides in the same directory as my project. I hav ...Show All

• SQL Server OLAP Cube from an OLTP (normalized database)?

  Hi All, I am new to OLAP and every book that I have read so far talks about creating an OLAP cube from a Star Schema (Data warehouse). I want to ask that, is it possible to create a Cube in Analysis Services from an OLTP (normalized database) without creating any star schema I understand that the first concern is performance. Regards, Ravi S Hello. Sorry. These features are not available in AS2000. You will have to build views in your OLTP-system in order to build cubes. AS2000 only supports starschemas as data source.

• Smart Device Development GPRS Connect at Startup

  Hi again (again), Last question, I promise. I'm looking to start the GPS up wen the device starts. I don't mind changing hte registry for this, or doing it programatically. All the stuff I have found is either for C#, or the registry info doesn't exist in my phone. Once again, any help would be very appreciated. Cheers, Dan. I thought Connection Manager was a C# class. I tried to implement it in my code, and it just refused to recognise it. I added the header, ad<something>.h, which didn't seem to work. Googling it, I foudn something about jagpublic.h. I didn't see mention of this in the MSDN Library though. ...Show All
