• Visual FoxPro a post card printer?

  ok i made a nice little software package for my first client and at one point in my prg he needs to print addresses on a postcard. .... the software works fine and does everything good. except every couple postcards that go through his standard (average) printer will jam and the printing will stop. Does anyone know the type of printer my client needs in order for him to print these things properly dimensions of post card 5 3/4 inch (length) 3 3/4 inch (width) thickness/height= your average laminated postcard. A working one. ;-) "Laminated" is suspect because there may be heat problems in laser printers. Most applications that print postcards do them when they're packaged in perforat ...Show All

• SQL Server Dynamix mdx query

  I'm not to familiar with mdx, so I don't manage to create a dynamix mdx query in RS against my AS cube. What I'm looking for is having two parameters @par1 and @par2 that decide what dimensions to query against. The default query I get when I create a mdx with designer looks like the one below. The problem is that instead of [Product].[Product].[Product] and [Supplier].[Supplier].[Supplier] I would like to use my parameters. The parameters can contain the value Supplier, Product, Customer and all other names of the valid dimensions. I thought maybe it was possible to do somthing like this: [@par1].[@par1].[@par1], but that didnt work :-) I have also tryed using with and set, but havnt managed to make it work. I have seen a couple exampl ...Show All

• Visual C# How write over COM and LPT

  I'am developing a sticker printing software. In my company we have printer with both COM and LPT port. So my software must support both. For printing, I create FileHandle to send data to printer. This method works both COM and LPT but I can't learn if printer finished its job. with this methot printer gives overflow error when I try to print more than 50 sticker. My code like this... public const Int32 GENERIC_READ = -2147483648; public const Int32 GENERIC_WRITE = 1073741824; public const Int32 OPEN_EXISTING = 3; public const Int32 FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL = 128; public const Int32 NOPARITY = 0; public const Int32 removed = 0; [ DllImport ("kernel32", SetLastError = true)] public static extern IntPtr CreateFile ( string lpFileNa ...Show All

• .NET Development How to hook SqlDataAdapter to a SqlConnection

  I have a bunch of files with tabular data in them. The files are of a proprietary totally non-standard format. I'm trying to move the data from the files into an SQL database. Each file will reside in a separate table in the database eventually with the table name set to the name of the original disk file and the field names and types all determined at run time. I created a class that loads files off the disk, creates a dataset with a DataTable for each loaded file in it, and stuffs the dataset tables with the info from the disk files. During this process the field names and datatypes are determined, keys are applied and foreign relations applied to the dataset also. This part works fine and I am able to view the dataset using ...Show All

  Hi, Where ever I read news about .net 3.0, It occurs that the only operating systems that are supported: are: Vista, w2k3, XP SP2 yet not Windows 2000. My question: is it possible to install .NET 3.0 on windows 2000 and if so how to do it Greething, Rafal We deploy to Win2k3 servers and use VS2005 on Win2k. Are you saying that we will not be able to do dev work on Win2k, as of .Net 3.0 Are we required to upgrade 2500 to 3000 developer workstations for .Net 3.0. If we build apps using .Net 3.0 we will have to upgrade the Windows OS on up to 40000 machines. That is alot of effort, is it worth it ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Online Command Integration with VS IDE

  I work for an offshore software development company, so most developers are not in the main office, but in an office which is in another country. So we integrate to Team Foundation Server over the internet, using TFS SP1. We suffer of frequent disconnections from Internet, which is a common issue in this country, so there are plenty of times when we unexpectedly disconnect from Internet, frequently while we are working in Visual Studio 2005. We found the TFPT.exe Online command very useful to come back online when we made changes in offline mode, but we need integration with the VS IDE, so this kind of disconnections become transparent to the developers. We don't want to worry from disconnections while we are inside or outside the VS ID ...Show All

• Visual C# Best external data storing

  Good day, I'm almost not experienced with C#, and lately I have been doing the Absolute Beginners Tutorial with the RSS Reader thing ( url ). Anyway, the person who made these video's prefered Microsoft SQL Server Database File to store the data, which is indeed very handy to use. But after finishing my RSS Reader I found out no one else could use it simply because they don't have an SQL server running. I was quite surprised because I didn't even know there was one running on my PC, it seems VS did that all in the background. Actually it's quite stupid I didn't think of this earlier. :p Now my question is, what's actually the most regular way to store a database withouth having to run an SQL server in the background I could of course use f ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Query Problem

  Hi, Actually I have 3 tables User (user_id, user_name....), ProjectMember (pm_id, user_id, project_id.....) & TaskAssignee (ta_id, user_id, task_id....) in which User table has its foreign key into both of the other tables. There is no relationship between ProjectMember & TaskAssignee table. Actually I want to retrieve all user's info from ProjectMember table Inner Joining User table for specific condition in TaskAssignee table. The condition is: We have to retrieve user's info from ProjectMember table (means user_id) of which user_id value should not be same with user_id value of TaskAssignee table for the perticular task_id value of TaskAssignee table. For example suppose I am providing task_id=1 to the store proc then i ...Show All
