• SQL Server Fields selection criteria made by user

  Hi, I am new in implementing reports with reporting services but i hope someone here will be able to help out of that problem. I already have a report (DataSet: select * from table1 ) on a server that users may render directly from a program written in VB.NET but I need to give them the possibility to put a condition on a column to filter the dataset result, like a WHERE CLAUSE. I don't know in advance the selected column name, so I suppose that I have to modify the SQL text command to incluse the text condition("Where code = '008' " as an example) before processing the report. How can I do that in code Thanks a lot. Is the filter always going to be on the same column And... are ...Show All

• Visual C++ Bugs Bugs Bugs

  VS2005 is a absolute joke when it come to developing in c++, it is riddled in bugs. Many of which are driving me crazy. I spent ￡220 of this product, and it is ***. How can I go about getting my money back Then I will go back to developing in Vc++6, the last decent product for c++ developement. Many Thanks Agreed.

• Software Development for Windows Vista DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback problem

  Hi! I have a problem. I created a Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback.Video object and I added for it an Ending event handler. If I set its Audio.Volume property, after playing the video it does not arrive the handler procedure. If I don't set that property, everything is gone. Why _video = new Video (path); _video.Audio.Volume = -1000; _video.Ending += new EventHandler (_video_Ending); _video.Play(); Sorry for the late reply. You need to set the _video.Audio.Ending to the same eventhandler as the _video.Ending But be carefull because every call to Video.Audio leaks memory ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. "Indie" Game Development on Xbox 360 and PC

  (This is my first (technically second, I commented on something else) post on these forums) Alright, as a high schooler looking to get into game development after college (or possibly even nixing the college and going straight in) I was wondering if Microsoft was planning on doing anything at all with the XNA Framework that would support low budget game development. How available will tutorials and books about the code be available How much money will the tools and such cost How easy is this code going to be to learn Will it be easy for people to test on PC and a (normal) Xbox 360 with this code I've questioned Nintendo (through their website) about whether or not they'd be supporting "Indie" development, and I was given an aff ...Show All

• Commerce Server How to calcualte Multiple Product discount and Order header level discount????

  Hi, Does anyone know how to set up a discount to use a set of products existing in the basket as a condition for a discount Let me explain using. PsuedoCode: =========== These products must all be in the basket: 302556 302557 302558 302698 For the shopper to receive an order-level discount of 10 $ ========================================= I've examined the documentation and cannot figure out a way to do this.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ws*HttpBinding used in a client application

  Hi all, I'm quite new to the WCF and I'm meeting a lot of issues setting up my services using HTTP transport. Everything works fine when using NetTcpBinding for instance, but once I pass to the wsHttpBinding, wsFederationHttpBinding, I get exceptions saying either the process running the service has no rights on the url reservation or a more common one with InvalidOperationException saying the ChannelDispatcher couldn't open its IChannelDispatcher. I've made some searches and I found that it seems that I need to set up some configuration using netsh.exe (I'm on Vista) to add some reservations. I tried using this tool a bunch of times but couldn't make it. Is there anyone here that could bring some lights to me I've tried thi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions disabling .net features

  Hi, I have VC++ 2005 Express Edition installed on my computer. The problem is that I need to program without using the .net framework. As I understand this is possible by choosing "WIN32 Console Application" type of project. However it is important for my needs that the program I would write in VC++ 2005, could be later compiled also on the older version 6.0 of VC++. Is there any way I can assure that, while using VC++ 2005 Thanks. If you choose a Win32 Console Application then you won't, by default, be using any .NET features. But there is no way you can guarantee that your code will be compilable with the Visual C++ 6.0 compiler. There is a vast difference between the Visual C++ 6.0 comp ...Show All

• Visual Basic Null Reference Exception

  I am having a problem with a multi-form application I am writing in VB .Net 2003. When I transition back from one form to my startup form, I get an intermittent Null Reference Exception. Sometimes it will work, moving back and forth from form to form with no problems for 15-20 minutes, and sometimes it will crash everytime. I have tried putting a try-catch block around the instantiation of the main form. It does not catch anything. The exception points to line 2 of the startup form, which reads: Public Class frmWelcome Not much to cause a problem there, I would have thought. I am attaching the code for bringing up the welcome screen in hopes that someone will see something I am not thinking of. Try Dim welcome As New frm ...Show All
