• SQL Server Horizontal results

  how can i use concatenation to query the results horizontally example output: CustomerID=1002, Name=Mr Anderson, City=NY Look at FOR XML as a possible solution, if you have some leeway in the format. Even the basic AUTO version will give you an XML formatted version of your rows, including the name of the column in the output: select ContactID, NameStyle, Title, FirstName, MiddleName, LastName from person.contact where contactId = 1 for xml auto XML_F52E2B61-18A1-11d1-B105-00805F49916B ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <person.contact ContactID="1" NameStyle="0" Title="Mr." FirstName="Gustavo" LastName ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Forms size changed after converting to VB 2005 Express

  I recently installed VB 2005 express on my new Vista OS machine. I coverted my VB 2000 projects (written on my XP machine) to VB 2005. Now all my Forms are too big to fit on the screen. What can I do to change the size of the forms so that they fit on the screen again, besides starting from scratch and redoing everything. Steve Yes!! Good Call!! I had set both machines to have the same resolution and color but somehow my new machine had either altered itself (another monitor showed up in my screen setting, not sure what that’s all about yet) or I did not save my setting properly. Saved me a lot of work Thanks Steve ...Show All

• Visual C++ Platform SDK problems (VS2005 TSfSD, March '06 PSDK (windows 2003 r2))

  Hi All, I'm having trouble integrating PSDK with VC++ component of Visual Studio 2005 Team System for Software Developers. After adding the include, lib and bin directories to the VC directories settings in VS, I can no longer successfully build VC++ applications, due to a whole bunch of ATL header problems.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Access Denied insufficient rights

  This weekend we purchased the toshiba A130 loaded with windows vista. I deleted some of the programs that i wouldn't use and added my printing software with no problems. But when I tried to load my Pinnacle software I received the following message. "Access denied, insufficient rights-to install software you must have administrative rights. Please log on as Administrator and start the installation again." At that time I was the only user and already WAS the administrator. I called toshiba and spent a very long and frustrating time NOT getting helped. I tried a few more things on my own but admittedly I have very limited computer skills. Can anyone help me Thanks!

• Windows Forms Datagridview problem

  HI, i am having a problem with datagridview while adding new records. if the row being added loses focus (clicking elsewhere on the grid), the row being added is lost. Is that a property of the datagridview! or is there a way to prevent this from happening. I have seen the datagridview to drop a new record that you are adding when there is a dataerror. The error could be caused by having a null in a column that does not allow nulls. Try handling the datagridview's DataError event or give a column that does not accept nulls a value in the DefaultValuesNeeded event. ...Show All

• SQL Server AS400 member

  I need to query data through SSIS from what I was told is an AS400 DB2 member table. I am assuming this is a sub-table of the main table. I was going to write a correlated sub-query in SQL to get this data, however our AS400 contracted programmer says that there is an easier way and she pointed me to the main table's member. I do not know how to go about accessing this. Has anybody had experience with this The AS400 programmer is familiar with SQL syntax, however she does not know how to have SQL grab the data from a member table. If all else fails, I will just construct my correlated sub-query. Thanks for the information. I assume you are using a multi-member physical file PF(t he AS400 refers ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista overload methods in WF

  Hi all, i would like to know how can methods(activity) be overloaded in WF. For example i have a if-else activity, a sendMail() method. If the ToName is XXX then doSomthing() and then sendMail(XXX), else if ToName is YYY then doSomthing() and then sendMail(YYY). How can the parameter be handed over Should i use a queue for the parameter (or Dependence Property) But how can i choose at runtime the right parameter Thanks Emy_P, Just so I can understand what you have here, let me take a shot at describing what you have based on your description... You have created a custom If/Else activity: Is this derived from CompositeActivity or is this a SequentialActivity and you've dropped a base class If/Else ...Show All

• SQL Server Transact-sql code does not work. HELP!

  Hi all, I am new to transact-sql and hoped that someone here might be able to help. I have a db with a field called "part" ... part contains text in the format: xxxxx-xx-xxxxx (the number of x's before or after each hyphen vary) such that I could have xxx-xxxxx-xxx as the part. Someone wrote this transact-sql to take my current "part" field and move it to three different part fields ... a,b,c If xxxxx-xx-xxxxx was the part in the original db, then a would contain xxxxx .. b contains xx ... c contains xxxxx Make sense Here is the code. It doesn't work and I can't seem to figure out why! It looks like it is just trying to find the hyphens and cut out the text from that... but it fails with an error that say ...Show All
