• Visual C++ How to use CRect in DLL

  I have created a DLL using VS2005 and would like to use CRect and NormalizeRect() but I keep getting a unresolved external link error. I am just learning so it is probably something simple. Do you have any suggestions Thanks Here is the H and CPP files H #ifdef CLIPBOARDHELPER_EXPORTS #define CLIPBOARDHELPER_API __declspec ( dllexport ) #else #define CLIPBOARDHELPER_API __declspec ( dllimport ) #endif #include "atltypes.h" namespace ClipbrdHelper { // This class is exported from the ClipboardHelper.dll class CLIPBOARDHELPER_API CClipboardHelper { public : CClipboardHelper( void ); // TODO: add your methods here. }; extern CLIPBOARDHELPER_API int nClipboardH ...Show All

• Windows Forms creating a dataview

  I need to take a look at the content of some DataTable(s) I download from SQL Server in a purely debug situation. I decided to use DataView object for it. I improvised the following code: DataViewManager mng = new DataViewManager ( sqlDatSet ); DataView dtview = mng.CreateDataView ( sqlDatSet.Tables[jj] ); dtview.BeginInit ( ); The jj integer is the index of a particular DataTable in a DataSet and is found in a for loop. I expected a primitive form with a Table View displayng my records to show up. Is it not a reasonable expectation Nothing like this happened. The DataView remained an internal object. If I cannot get a good look at what is present in the tables I download I will be facing a cumbersome task of printing the stuff ou ...Show All

• SQL Server Export to PDF and print in landscape

  Hello I have a report which I can print on legal paper, once I choose the landscape settings on print menu. When the same report is set to export to a file share in pdf format, it renders in portrait format. Is it possible to have the pdf document look like the landscape view so that the user can just hit print. Thanks Inder HI, In the report designer, click on the small square in the top left hand corner of the page so you can view the page properties.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Sending selected tree view item data to model (how to bind)

  Hi All! I am trying to develop simple WPF-based application and faced one problem. I have UserControl that contains TreeView. This tree view is bound to hierarchical Categories structure. User can select one particular category and view the contents of the selected category in some list view (this list view is not from the same UserControl). Now I want to have Application.SelectedCategory property which will always contain the category selected in tree view. This property will be used in other user conrols. I tried to establish OneWayToSource data binding using TreeView.SelectedItem property, but the attempt failed because this property is get-only and it is not registered as dependency property. What should I do Handle selection change ev ...Show All

• SQL Server Import Analysis Services 2005 cube into Siebel Analytics

  Hi, I'm trying to import a cube I've created with Analysis Services 2005 into Siebel Analytics Physical Layer. I've installed XML For Analysis SDK on the SQL Server and created a virtual directory which contains the file msxisapi.dll. When I try to import I get the following error message fro the server :"Error proccesing request". I think the problem occurs because the xmla service doesn't "know" I want to import the cube from it. I'm very new to the issue and we don't have knowledge in our company to solve the problem. I'll very appreciate it if someone could help me. Thanks in Advance, Moving to the SQL Server Analysis Services forum. ...Show All

• SQL Server Problems with sql:overflow-field and sql:datatype="xml" in XML bulk load

  I am bulk loading data from an XML file into three tables in SS2005. All is well except for a section that I would like to load into a column of type XML in the table. I have tried using sql:datatype="xml" and it does load into the XML column but there are two problems: 1) It adds two namespace tags to each element which I don't want. 2) It does not include the outermost tag <Form> but starts with the next tag in. I then tried using sql:overflow-field and have a problem with it, also. 1) It includes the parent tag <Study> which I do not want. If I try to put the overflow annotation on the <Form> tag I get an error that it sees that as a column. Here is the XSD: < xml version="1.0 ...Show All

  I have a Mdi application I am coding. One screen is a datagridview and from that the user double clicks a record to open a new window. On the new window I have next and previous buttons.

• Visual Studio Team System Local VSTFS install and local user rights

  Hi, I was able to install TFS locally (since we don't use AD), and everything seems to be working ok. However when I set up the local accounts for the users I noticed that to let them connect from the client to the server they needed local administration rights on their local account on the server. I'd like to have them at most as power users but so far I can't get that to work. Thanks for any help, - John B The Team Foundation Server groups can be accessed either via the "TfsSecurity.exe" command line utility or through the Team Explorer client. We don't add any Windows groups, but rather handle our own permissions and group lists internally. You can find more information on managing users ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Adding data in one column based on another column using VBA

  I have an Excel DB in which there are identical entries in some of the fileds. I need to identify those entries, delete one of them so I can keep the other one in the DB and sum their corresponding value in another column. EXAMPLE: A 23 B 12 A 10 C 20 I need to get the following result: A 33 B 12 C 20 This seemed easy, but I can't figure t out in VB. Thanks. Hi Below is not elegant, but it might give you an idea.
