• .NET Development converting output from transformNode to byte array

  Hello, Can someone tell me why solution 1 works, but solution 2 does NOT work; it results in truncated data. There has to be an easier way than soution 1. The goal is to get the string output from transformNode into a byte array. Thanks. Solution 1 (works, but seems like a round about way): Dim ReportDef() As Byte Dim ReportStr As String ReportStr = dom.transformNode(xsl) Using sw As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter( "c:\temp\TestOut.xml" ) sw.Write(ReportStr) sw.Close() End Using Dim Stream As System.IO.FileStream Stream = System.IO.File.OpenRead( "c:/temp/TestOut.xml" ) ReDim ReportDef(Stream.Length) Stream.Read(ReportDef, 0, Stream.Length) Stream.Cl ...Show All

• Visual C++ What define the order of the includes files?

  What define the order of the includes files while compiling I've wrote down the includes directory path in >>Tools>>Options>>VC++ directories. I though the upper one were included before but still, i got the error C2065 which says 'undeclared identifier' for a type that is declared in a file in an other directory that is upper in the list i spoked about before. What would be the fastest way to get in the good way Thanks in advance, Tools>>Options>>VC++ directories defines the order of searching for include files. You still need to include them to source files. For example, if directories are searched by the following way: $(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK\include $(VCInstallDir)include and you write ...Show All

• SQL Server Report Headers vs Page Headers

  Hi, this is probably a simple question but I just can't figure it out. I'm using SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 sp1. I'm trying to design a report that displays a particular embedded image on the first page, and then a different one on every subsequent page. I.e full, fancy company logo on the first page, and a trimmed down version on every other. In Crystal, I would have simply used the Report Header and Page Header sections to achieve this - easy. However, in SQL Reporting Services, there is only a Page Header section - therefore whatever I place in the Page Header shows on every page. Now, I know how to stop it displaying on the first page, but I don't know how to display the other image instead. I read in a support forum t ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) [OperationContract] and properties,

  Hi, Why is the below interface definition not possible Surely the fact that properties are just methods anyway mean that this should be possible. Why should it be necessary to change the perfectly reasonable Length property into a GetLength() method Is there any way to expose a property value /// <summary> /// Service contract definition. /// </summary> [ ServiceContract ] public interface IWorkContract { [OperationContract ] int Length { get ; } } IT WORKS! You have to set the attribute directly before the get- and set-stubs like this: int Length { [OperationContract()] get; [OperationContract()] set; } ...Show All

• Windows Forms text box issue

  I happened on a textbox issue that may be of interest. In this case, I have a number of textboxes vertically aligned that contail $ amounts. Generally want the text right aligned so that the decimal points line up but since I don't like editing with right alignment, I use the Enter event to change the alignment and then use the leave event to put it back Private Sub Cost_Enter(..)

• Visual C# general question C#...

  in ASP.Net, I can, in my server-side C# code, define a static variable. What is the life span of that variable Is it destroyed after the Page_Load or is it accessable and updateable upon postback to the server. Example: as the site is first loaded I instantiate a varible statically that I wish to increment during the life of the "Session". Can I later access it and change it's contents. Basically, I want to instantiate a static array and add information to it based on user response. like a shopping cart.. etc. Thanks JJ So this Dot Net stuff is cool..., yes I'd probably create an object for a shopping cart if the rules are the same for them too. Actually, i am creating a funtion t ...Show All

• SQL Server A priori algorithm in Association Rules

  MS uses the a priori algorithm in Association Rules, while other DM software have gone to the Novel Algorithm. Can you tell us why MS decided to stay with the a priori Did you overcome the limitations that it's accused of having Thanks! Hi Roger, I have not had a chance to look into the Novel algorithm, but we do definitely organize the itemsets generated in a tree where by you can save space by recognizing that many itemsets share items (Some itemsets are subsets of others). It also proved important to keep the tree representation in order to be able to perform predictions efficiently where the tree serves as an index to the itemsets (and rules). Thanks, Jesper Lind (Microsoft Research) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Excel Automation

  Hi, I am facing a peculiar problem with Excel Automation. I have a winform where in I display some data in OWC axSpreadsheet. Next I export this data to an .xls file. When I try to open (through OleDb) and read this file, I get an error - "External table is not in the expected format." However, if I have the file open in Excel, I am able to read it through code. However the same piece of code works for some files without having them opened in Excel. What am I missing out here Please suggest. Hi, This is a good question, but it is not a VSTO-related issue. I would suggest that you post this question, however, in the excel.programming newsgroup. Here is the link. http://m ...Show All
