• SQL Server Dynamically passing a Parameter Name to Custom Code

  Hello, I'm trying to create a custom code function for Reporting Services. I would like to have it user-friendly and give the user the ability to pass a report parameter name into the function (so it can be a generic function that can be used for many reports). Is there a way to do this so inside the code I can have access to other properties of the object I envision something like: Function Blah(ParameterName as String) as String Dim MaxNum as Integer Dim ParamValue as String MaxNum = Reports.Parameters!ParameterName.Count - 1 ParamValue = Reports.Parameters!ParameterName.Value etc... Is this possible I can't figure out how to do this. Using dynamic SQL you can do this very easily by concatenating string values toget ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to access web page files using C++

  Hi all,    I have a list of web pages that I need to pull certain numbers from and will need to do it frequently, thus a program that has the list of address to pull the data from will make my life easier.      Can you access web pages like you would to access files on your computer using the fstream library.  The idea is to then parse through and find the certain tag, for example: I need to find the living area of a home on the site, I would like to open up the file, in this case and .asp.  Then I would read in each line and look for what I need, in the case I would look for:      <td width="200"><strong>Living Area</strong></td>   &nbs ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Infopath Automation

  Hello, Please accept my apologies if this post is in the wrong forum. I checked around and believe this is the correct place to post. If not please advise and i will promptly move. I am currently using an infopath solution for data collection. The forums contain a number of dropdown lists that need to be populated at run time. Unfortunately, a requirement exists that specifies that the infopath forms must function in a disconnected manner (not my idea!!). So that pretty much excludes all the sharepoint lists / webservice / dataset examples i have seen. I would like to know if it is possible to populate the infopath form controls using automation. IE: //Create an infopath application object //Open an infopath form / template //Obtain ...Show All

• Windows Forms Container UserControl

  How do I make a usercontrol that functions like a container If you're going to be adding any number of controls (say, above 4-5) to the container, that's not the best way to do it. One, each assignment to Parent fires off a litany of resize and re-layout events, which may cause undesirable behavior; two, it's not as obvious as "Controls.Add(child)". Using Controls.Add or Controls.AddRange allows all the layout to happen at once. But it's up to you. ...Show All

• Visual C# Procedure Calling Problem

  Hi, I'm trying to do what may seem simple to most. I have a procedure in my database that takes two parameters and returns results. I have a webpage that has two textboxes and a submit button. When the button is clicked the onClick even takes the two values, passes them as parameters to the procedure and binds the resutls from the procedure to a gridview. (At least that's what it's doing in my head, but not in real life ;-(...). I've looked over countless examples online. All the ones that I've found either use one parameter or print the results to console. None do what I want it to do. Can someone either show me some c# code on how to do this or forward me to the right tutorial/thread. Thanks. ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) XAML caching issues

  Whenever I change the contents of a WPFE XAML file I have to delete the previously cached file from the Temporary Internet Files directory in order to see the change reflected in the browser. Is this a known issue I’m using IE 7, but Firefox seem to have the same problem. Any comments on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot! /Billy PS: For debugging purposes, I attempted to write a console app that would automatically remove all the XAML files in the Temporary Internet Files directory upon recompiling my solution. However, since that directory isn’t an actual directory but rather an “illusion” provided by the Windows shell, this is not an easy thing to do. I'm having the same proble ...Show All
