• .NET Development How can I ignore empty elements in my output xml file? (using xslt)

  Hi I use XSLT to convert XML to XML . I need to delete the tag when there are no value in the output. for example, I have XSLT as following: <NAME><xsl:value-of select="N1" /></NAME> I don't need <NAME /> or <NAME> </NAME>. How can I ignore empty elements in my output xml file Adavance thanks   Hi Tim I have tried your code. It works(it removes the element whether it has data or not). But I want 'If no elements in xml file- shouldn't be in the out put file' ( because xsl file will have all elements the xml file may have ) (xml file will be generated from databse and it will have elements only for the column with data in the database) Please see the scenar ...Show All

• SQL Server How to setup Parent>>Child>>Child relationship...?

  Hello, SQL newby looking for some advice. I have created the three tables below. XXParent is the master table, XXParentChild is the child table to XXParent and it should have a one-to-many relation to its parent. XXParentChildChild is the child table to XXParentChild, and it will likewise have a one to many relation to XXParentChild. In effect one XXParent row can have many XXParentChild rows assigned to it and one XXParentChild row can have many XXParentChildChild rows assigned to it. What I'm missing is how to create the table so that once I've entered a row in XXParent, I can insert multiple rows in XXParentChild and subsequently insert multiple rows in XXParentChildChild for each of its parent rows, while maintaining referential integr ...Show All

• Visual Basic PictureBox1.Image.Save - Only .PNG Works Properly

  I am able to save images from a picturebox in the .png format properly, but not using .jpg or .gif formats. What I get is a black image only with .jpg and .gif. The picturebox has a white background with text and lines on it which I generate via VB coding. I am running Win 2K and VB 2005. Any suggestions Thanks, Titus505 code example: GraphicOutputs.PictureBox1.Image.Save( "c:\graphics\" & TextBox1.Text & ".png" , ImageFormat.Png) I too was getting this same kind of thing generating a bitmap image file. Every time I create the bitmap image file it generates the file with a black background, and I was using black for my text font. Try changing the color of your "brush" and see if ...Show All

• Visual C# Contional Attributes?

  I want to know if anyone knows of a way to do the following two things: 1) Hide method signatures from dll based on a domain group you belong to. 2) Prevent methods from running based on a domain group you belong to. For 1) above, I can hide the methods all the time or make them advanced methods, but what I really am trying to do is make it never visible for one domain group and make it always available for another domain group. Is there a way to conditionally apply attributes at runtime Any suggestions/ideas would be appreciated.

• Visual Studio Team System Access to RUP process template?

  We're a RUP shop and have used TFS for one project. We applied the MSF Agile process template for that project, used Sparx Enterprise architect for our UML and requirements traceability, and then bodged up some integration between the two. We're about to start a new project and I am wondering if there's a chance of getting an early look at the (R)UP process template. Can anyone from MS VS Team comment as to availability Thanks in advance. If you are asking about the Essential Unified Process, check out http:///www.ivarjacobson.com .

• Visual Studio Team System Command ExecuteShellCommand is not supported

  I have the need to execute a bunch of shell commands during deployment. Is there any initiative to allow the ExecuteShellCommand in the deployment scripts. Essentially, I would like to be able to supplement the Script.PostDeployment.sql script with shell commands such as: !!bcp mydb.dbo.mytable in "C:\tmp\mytable.dat" Right now the DB Professional Project errors out during deployment with the following error message: "SQL Execution error: Scripting warning.

• SQL Server AS 400 data being interpreted as unicode strings (DT_WSTR) datatype

  I am building a data warehouse. Some of the data comes from an AS 400 EPR system. I used the OLEDB connector when first pulling the data into SQL Server doing simple import data from table option. That worked great for getting the initial data load into SQL Server and creating the base SQL Server tables although it was excruciatingly slow (that was probably due to the transport from the AS 400). Now, I need to get new records that are added to the AS400 side of things on a daily basis. For that, I was trying to use the OLEDB AS400 connector. However, I found that the OLEDB connector wouldn't work when I was trying to specify an SQL Statement for what to get; i.e., a simple query like Select * from TWLDAT.STKT where BYSDAT >= '2005-01 ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Creating a Derived Type in the Designer

  I am attempting to re-create my previous VideoGames database using the designer. I want to see if I can do everything I need without tweaking the underlying XML once. So far its working with NavigationProperties. However, either its been too long since I've used this stuff, or the designer is limited. I am trying to create a derived type called WiiGames that derives from VideoGames, that uses a condition where the VideoGame.Type.ID is 1 (Wii). Anyone have a walkthrough on how to do this in the designer and/or how to start using the designer and finish using XML In theory, I want to add an entity type mapping in the MSL. I don't currently see a way to do this through the designer. My real issue here is that the entity type mapping is ...Show All
