• Visual C# scheduler like a calender

  hi people, i am writing a sheduler where you allocate engineers to jobs. jobs happen on a specific day and an engineer is not allowed to be allocated to more than one job on the same day. when i move a series of jobs along by one day, how can i ensure that by moving the job (hence the engineer) along, they do not conflict with other jobs that the engineer had for that day am i supposed to load everything into memory and cycle through them are there any shortcuts or techniques for this sort of thing As the scheduler goes on for ever (there is no end date), i would have to check all the way up to the last task. doesn't seem right. I suppose it might be down to the way i arrange my classes. I dunno. just wondered if anyone had any ideas or li ...Show All

• SQL Server How can I print table structures in SQLExpress

  I need to get a print out of column names, types, and properties for each of the tables. We just started using SQL Express from Access. I cannot find any reference to printing the structures in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express. Thanks hi, I'd better go for INFORMATION_SCHEMA ANSI view or, if your really want to go a quiet unsupported way, you could even resort on an unsupported/undocumented stored procedure, sp_MSForEach ( http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3441031 ).. then you can define your query to be executed against all database tables... for instance something based on catalog views, similar to SET NOCOUNT ON; USE AdventureWorks; GO DECLARE @cmd varchar(MAX); SET @cmd = 'SE ...Show All

• SQL Server Using Merge Replication, Parameterized Filters

  Dear ppl, I am using Merge Replication between SQL Server 2005 (Publisher) and Pocket PC (SQL Mobile 2005-Subscriber). I have a Windows Mobile appliction on the Pocket PC that replicates data from the server. I am using SqlCeReplication class on the Pocket PC application to synchronise the data. By default, when i call the Syncrhonise() method, it pulls all the data from the server. What I want is to pass a parameter from the Pocket PC and filter the data based on that paramter. E.g. from the Employee table, I want only those Employee that belongs to a CompanyID that I pass as a parameter. Is there a way to do this, so that i can pass parameters from my PDA application (Windows Mobile), and make the Filters specified in the Pu ...Show All

• .NET Development Cannot Connect to SQL Server 2005

  Hello, I have been stuck on this problem for a couple of days. The sys admin gave my username access to a database on sql server 2005 using windows authentication.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) MediaElement fails to play audio and video.

  I've been developing an app that uses MediaElement to play music and movies and while we've been testing it we've been having some problems with playing media in the mediaelement. In the early WPF-CTPs and with WMP11 beta installed we had problems but with the final version of WMP11 and the RTM of WPF it has worked like a charm. However, we recently released a preview-version of our program and we've got many people complaining over that it can't play any media. So apparently the famous* silent-mediaelement-problem is still alive. We've asked our testers what version of WMP they have installed. Some of them have 10, some of them betaversions of 11 and some the final version of 11. Same problem for everyone. Everyone was using XP. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System is there a way to add more priority levels?

  i have looking around for a while trying to find some way where i can add more priority levels and instead of have 1 2 3 i have critical high etc is there any way of doing this and is it possible with the process template editor Thanks Correct me if I am wrong but you can't just enter strings into the Microsoft.VSTS.Common.Priority field becuase it is of type integer and you can't just change the type without deleting the field entirely. One should create a custom field with a unique field name and refname. The System.* fields cannot be deleted if you change the type of Priority I recommend you not have Microsoft.VSTS.Common.Priority as the refname. Is this not correct ...Show All
