• .NET Development Is this only possible in XPath 2.0

  I can't fugure out how to write an xpath to do the following in xpath 1.0: Doc < Plane > < Seats Number =" 1 " Window =" No "/> < Seats Number =" 2 " Window =" Yes "/> </ Plane > I would like to concatinate the @Number & @Window fields on each node set returned Desired Results: 1^NO 2^Yes The problem is if I use concat in xpath 1.0 I only get a single string result. Any ideas This is easy if the number of "Seats" elements is known (or can be obtained and then the XPath expression can be dynamically generated. In case one knows an expected maximum number of "Seats" elements, it is still ...Show All

• SQL Server RS2000 - PDF Format and Local machine permissions

  My ASP.NET application builds dynamic links to a report that is specified as PDF output. Because RS2000 does not appear to support passing in parameters programmatically (all the documentation I've come across shows parameters being passed in the querystring, I'd love to know how to circumvent this), I am linking directly to the reporting server using the machine's loopback IP (the redirection is hidden from the user). The reporting server is not intended to be accessed externally, however, the ASP.NET app is intended to be accessed externally. Both reside on the same machine. When a user selects a link, they are warned that they are accessing a resource on the local network - once they accept this warning they are prompted to downlo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Mixed Platforms is not available

  Okay, in my Web Application Project, the Mixed Platforms build platform is not available. Actually, it doesn't matter what kind of project I have open, that option just doesn't exist. How can I get it back Chris Team Build deals with Solution -level Platform / Configuration combinations, which are really just collections of Project -level Platform / Configuration combinations. Mixed Platforms is what Visual Studio uses as a platform by default when a solution contains two or more projects with different ( Project -level) default platforms. For example, C# projects default to "Any CPU", while web projects default to ".NET". If you have one of each in a solution, the default Solution -level platform will be " ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Limited search locations via the toolbar

  I've noticed that when I perform a search via the WDS search window in my taskbar it seems that my only option is a global search on my desktop or the web. If I use the toolbar in Outlook I can limit the search to Outlook, Desktop, Web. If I search using the WDS window I have several other options for searching within Outlook, e.g. Attachments, Appointments, Contacts, Task, Notes, Folders and then there is the Other option which support IM Chats, Documents and this can be narrowed down to Text Documents, Notes, Spreadsheets, Presentations other areas within Other are Music, Pictures, Videos, Favorites, Programs.

• .NET Development Best way to configure a service with multiple instances

  Hi there, I am developing a service will be installed multiple times under different service names and each instance requires a different configuration file. What is the neatest method is to achieve this At the moment I think it has to be registry settings based on the service name which I assume must be accessible. Thanks, Duncan If anyone can update this thread it would be most appreciated. I'm using VB.net 2005, have got my service up and running, but want to be able to install multiple copies of it under different names. I can get the service name to change during installation but the new instance all still have the original name stored somewhere (i.e. me.servicename always returns the original nam ...Show All

• Visual Studio ClassInterfaceType.AutoDual attribute on project properties class

  I added the System.Runtime.InteropServices.ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.AutoDual) attribute to my class that inherits from ProjectNodeProperties per the instructions in the readme file for VS SDK July CTP. I had a property that returned a generic List<string> collection. This property is no longer visible after I add this attribute. I verified this by changing the return type to a simple string and it was than visible. Is there a way around this, so that I can still return a List<string> collection Thanks, Mike ...Show All

• SQL Server Processing Cube hangs

  Hi, I have a problem with processing my cube. My fact table (with telephone data) contains about 400,000 records... which is increasing rapidly (400,000 records is about 8 months of data)...
