• .NET Development Update without Parameter

  Hi, Is it possible to write an update in ADO.NET without deffining my update with parameters In ADO we use to be able to create a connection edit the field and called the the ado1.recordset.update function. It's a lot of codes to update a database. Thanks. .NET uses a disconnected data model, in which you don't hold an open connection to the database while you edit the data (like you did in ADO). However, using a DataAdapter, a CommandBuilder, and a DataSet, updating data takes little more code than the old ADO method. For example, if you are using a SQL Server and connecting using a SqlConnection, you can use a SqlDataAdapter and a SqlCommandBuilder to automatically save any changes you have made ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF Wizard

  Hi all, Im wondering why its so hard to emulate a vista LAF wizard in WPF... i mean i cant have a window without an icon in the top left in WPF. I need to emulate the vista wizards i.e. no icon in window, but one in the task bar button. The reason i have to do this is because our software is used under XP as well. I also need to to optionally have the min/max buttons in the top right of the window. Regards, S> Ive had a look at the actipro wizard stuff - but thats wizard '97 look and feel. I believe most of our clients will want vista native look and feel wizards..... i realize you can style the actipro one but the vista wizards have the back and forward buttons on two separate panel ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums command button issue

  Hi, I've got 3 command buttons set up in an excel worksheet that each have a macro assigned to it. One of which is a print function. My problem is that whenever I print, the buttons move around on the sheet. I've got a print area set up and the buttons are outside the print area, I'm not sure if that would cause it to do that. Is there a way I can lock the buttons to make them stay in place and not jump around Thanks. just found this thread and am experiencing the same problem - that without a change in column size or any other action except doing a print or print-preview in Excel 2003, buttons which were at center or right are shifting leftward. In my case three buttons had an initial Left value of 1 ...Show All

• SQL Server Proclarity

  I log into a terminal services machine using domain\userid. When I try to connect to Proclarity it prompts me to log in again. I re-enter domain\userid and Proclarity connects to the AS cubes.

• Visual C# Session expiration

  Hello, I have a base class which is inherited by every page in my project. On page_load I call checkSessionExpired(); which does the following: private void checkSessionExpired() { if (Context.Session != null) { if (Session.IsNewSession) { string szCookieHeader = Request.Headers["Cookie"]; if ((null != szCookieHeader) && (szCookieHeader.IndexOf("ASP.NET_SessionId") >= 0)) { Response.Redirect("sessionExpired.aspx"); } } } } I don't understand why its not working, but Session.IsNewSession I thought would be true the very first time the browser loads up. This is not the case, its false. Where does it get set to true Or can I manually set it ...Show All

• Visual Basic datatable time intervals

  Hey everyone not sure if this is the right place to post this, it's actually an ASP.NET page but the code behind is done in VB.NET and the code behind is where my troubles lay so here it goes. Basically my problem involves using a data table to fill a gridview for export to Excel. I know how to export a gridview to excel already what I'm having trouble with is the data table behind the gridview, basically I've got a data table which is filled via SQL Server and all the data in it is time stamped, what I'm trying to do is manipulate that data table (actually it filters the data from one table to another) so that I can get the data in intervals every 1 minute or 2 minutes or 30 minutes etc. or closest to the interval as possible. When I set ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Synching pre-processed renderer, post-processed renderer, and time display

  Our video processing application provides two renderers; one which displays the pre-processed video, and another which displays the post-processed video. The graph looks kind of like this: Source->Tee->CSC->VMR1 (pre-processed) | +-->F1->F2->F3->F4->CSC->VMR2 (post-processed) The processing is intensive enough that VMR2 can lag behind VMR1 by a few frames on a slower machine. We are using the default sync source (system clock) for the clock and the video is uncompressed RGB with resolutions up to 720x480. Everything works great on a sufficiently fast enough system, but we will be adding to the processed stream so even faster machines may bog down. The problem we are having is that the position re ...Show All

• Visual Basic Mircosoft office document imagaing file locking Visual Basic 2005

  Hi all, please can someone have a look at my code and tell me why i keep getting file locking issues when using a simple sql statement. Background info: My program splits a mulitpage tiff file (batch of purchase orders from Sage MMS) into separate files by doing OCR and using the MODI functions. My code has three main loops. 1st loop goes through each of the pages and splits the tiff into separate tiff files based on order number and stores them in a directory. for each order i also create an array of information by doing OCR from the tiff ie. order number, customer etc etc. 2nd loop goes through the array. for each order number in the array checks to see if there is another tiff file existing in another directory.

• SQL Server SQL Agent Proxy Account

  I've been trying to configure the SQL Agent Proxy account but I keep getting the same error message: "The specified user cannot login" or "Cannot find the path specified". Although I've checked numerous forums where they claim to have found a solution to the problem, none of the suggested work-arounds have worked for me :( . I have two instances of SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition SP4 in a cluster configuration with Windows Server 2003 Enterpise Edition. Since we don't have an Active Directory infrastructure deployed I had to configure both cluster nodes as Domain Controllers. I've tried the most suggested solution of changing the SQLService account, adding it back and trying to configure the proxy account, but not ...Show All

• .NET Development Remote access to class that references MS Outlook

  I'm trying to use remoting to have a client access a server where my outlook calendar is to retrieve several calendar entries. I've read lots of stuff on the internet and have been able to get what I want to work on the same pc (server with outlook). When trying to run the client on a different pc, I get 80040154 indicating that something is not registered, and upon researching determined that it is outlook that is not registered. Now, I do not have outlook installed on the client machine. I thought since the access is via the class instance that is on the server where outlook is installed, I'd be okay. Is this, in fact, why I'm getting there error Is there any way to get this to work without installing outlook on the client ...Show All
