• SQL Server Date Range Issue

  I've been trying to find a good way to do this and it seems every idea I come up with or find only accomplishes the desired result in one scenario. Here is my issue. I'm designing reports with SQL Reporting Services 2000 and many of these reports need to show values for a dynamic date range such as the last full month, last full week, etc. similar to the built-in functions in Crystal Reports. To accomplish this, my first effort was to filter my results by looking only at results where a specific date parameter matched the current week or month -1 or -2 or whatever was needed. The following example would look at records for the previous month only: SELECT * FROM tbExample WHERE MONTH([Entry Date]) = MONTH(GETDATE())-1 AND YEAR([Entry ...Show All

• Windows Forms TextBox and ContextMenuStrip

  On a form with a few TextBoxes and one ContextMenuStrip, if a TextBox is right-clicked I can get the particular TextBox instance that opened the ContextMenuStrip from the SourceControl property in the Opening event. But if the menu items have shortcut keys, the Opening event isn't raised. So how do I figure out which TextBox had the focus when the shortcut key was pressed Tony Use the form's ActiveControl property, it will point to the control that has the focus and invoked the context menu. ...Show All

• Visual C# NetworkStream doesn't support seeking

  I want to play sound from network stream. For playing sound i use directsound, but when i try to create SecondaryBuffer: try { ApplicationBuffer = new SecondaryBuffer ( this .netStream, ApplicationDevice); } catch ( Exception ex) { MessageBox .Show( ex.ToString()); } i'm getting error that netStream doesn't support seek operation. I know that property "Seek" of NetworkStream is ReadOnly... how can i work around this problem You can't because the the stream needs to support Seekif you want to use it with a SecondaryBuffer. An NetwortStream doesn't support seeking in most cases. There is no workaround for you problem and you have to seek for an other solution. Can you specify your pro ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Dynamic diagram creation

  Hi! I have to create a kind of diagram that is circle with 1 filled sector. I take only 1 argument - percentage - and correspondantly fill that sector. Is there any simple or proved method of such task solution The first thing that comes to mind is to create circle, and then some kind of filled path containing arc and two lines that connect arc endpoints with center of circle. And then combine all these elements into 1. Maybe there is a better way Thanx you could do it in XAML like this( to be dynamic, we could just start converting this structure to C#) < Path Stroke = " Black " StrokeThickness = " 1 " Fill = " Beige " > < Path.Data > < Geometr ...Show All

• SQL Server What should the maintenance plans be on your mirror server?

  If your principal fails and your mirror assumes the main role and it is in Full recovery mode (which it has to be in Standard edition), then the log files will grow and grow until a transaction backup and shrink is executed. I have maintenance plans running daily (and hourly for transaction log backup/shrink) on my principal, but nothing on my mirror. Do I need to set up the same maintenance plans on my mirror server Thanks Ed ahh...I see what you're getting at now Ed. Sorry for the confusion there. If you select either 'all' or 'all user databases', it will be backed up if it's online...you could also create a job that would do it I guess if the database is online, though the Maint.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Sound Cards and gameing

  I am an SB XFI user. I have wondered forums both creative and here for information which way to turn. Vista has improved the way sound is for us the user by a long way and as far as I can see for the right reasons. It does leave some of us though bewildered, with a hardware product that is at best is trying to side step what MS have created and do there own thing. I figure the more software you have on a system the slower every thing is, I certainly dont want a product that is using masses of software to beat a products guidlines. So my question is a simple one. I love me music and my gameing so what hardware option do I have that is totally vista friendly and takes advantage of said software.

• SQL Server Secure Replication from Cluster to Workgroup
