• SQL Server Can I use a data field returned from my report as part of the URL address?

  I am familiar with the navigation hyperlink action of "Jump to URL" but I cant get it to use the data returned in the report as part of the URL address. When I enter the Url into the expression editor: ="http://internal.company.address/sys1/sys2/caseEdit.pl case="&"Fields!CaseID.Value" it opens an explorer window but it echos the address and tries to use the text 'Fields!CaseID.Value' instead of the data returned in that field. Can this be done =" http://internal.company.address/sys1/sys2/caseEdit.pl case= " & Fields!CaseID.Value ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. No Support For Initing A Window Handle As Display?

  OK, I've just downloaded and went through the framework a bit already. I must say, this is REALLY GOOD!!! No more mashing around acquiring devices and such, everything just works smoothly. I'm delighted!! But then I found a problem. There are people who were using DirectX managed to create UserControls to display graphics and present data based on a user interface. As far as I can tell right now, the framework only supports creating a device as windowed, or fullscreen. Is there an option to specify a window handle that we can create the device with I know that doesn't port well to the 360 scenario but it's something that some of us do use, and after just a taste of what coding with XNA can do, I don't want to go back to the non X ...Show All

• Visual Studio Determine When finished rendering and other Properties

  I can't get the Print without Print Preview code to work so I'm going to try another route. Is it possible to tell the ReportViewer control to print via code I'll let the control display the print preview but then I want to print the report with out the user having to click on the print button. Two issues I see immediately. One is how to determine when the report has completed it's rendering. Doing this code causes an error frmReports.Show() frmReports.ReportViewer1.PrintDialog() With the error " Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object ." which is probably due to the report still rendering. Next, I'm hoping that once the print dialog is displayed, I'll be able to use maybe Sendkeys to "cl ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Different Coloured Brushes

  How do I change the brush colour so that each square is different I was thinking of using an array, Dim arrCol() As String = {"Red", "Yellow", "Green"} but string can't be converted to system.brush. I tried Dim arrCol as System.Brushes, but that doesn't work either. So any ideas please. Here's the code, Dim B1 As New Bitmap(146, 92) Dim G1 As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(B1) Dim PB As New PictureBox Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim X, Y, W, i As Integer X = 0 Y = 0 W = 128 For i = 1 To 40 G1.FillRectangle(Brushes.Blue, X, Y, 16, 16) X += 18 If X > W Then X = 0 ...Show All

• .NET Development Help! Making wildcard TableAdapter query work

  I'm really confused here, and am wondering if someone knows what could be the issue with my TableAdapter query. A few months ago, I created a really neat program that has th ability to search by a client account number. In the TableAdapter, I created a new query called "FillbyAccountNumber". When I created this, I set up the SELECT statement so that it selected all the fields I wanted and then used the following WHERE clause: WHERE account LIKE @account + '%' When a user clicked a button, it would load this FillbyAccountNumber query, and pull the value of a textbox for the @account variable - the nice feature is that you could type "902" to return accounts "90201", "90255&q ...Show All

• Visual C# "OUT of Memory" String construtor

  Hi, im getting a "out of memory" exception when I try to pass a large char array in the the string construtor. The array has a length of about 200MB, its XML Data. I need to convert this to a string for the further handling. For smaller data stuff works fine. Any ideas how to convert the data to a string Thanks Dob Another option is maybe to create a LongString class to replace your string usage:  public class LongString  {   const int partSize = 1024;   bool closed = false;   List<string> items = new List<string>();   public void Append(string part)   {    Debug.Assert(part.Length < partSize);    Debug.As ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Build Conditions

  Hi, I am creating a TeamBuild with a requirement that it should build the solution in both the Debug as well as Release configurations. For this I included two  ConfigurationToBuild sections specifying the desired build flavors. Up till this everything is working fine; the solution is build in both the Debug and Release modes. But I have one more requirement, and it is that the Unit tests should not run against the Release build output. I have tried to use various conditions(shown below; with output) in the  Target  section but none of them works. Any inputs/ideas please.
