• SQL Server Selecting multi-value report parameters from dropdown

  Hello, I have a report with a multi-value parameter. In its' drop drop box, I can select ALL or I can individually select single items, but it doesn't appear that I can select a range of items using the shift key. The problem is; occasionally the user will want to select everything, and them eliminate an item or two. The list it too long to select every one individually. It would be an easy solution if hey could select the entire list, then deselect what they don't want. Is there a way Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual C# library not registered error

  Hello, I hope someone will have an answer to this question... Using VS. Net + C# I have a a console project called implementer that communicates with another addin project. Both are supposed to send and receive a "struct" that holds a hashtable to store/change info. I got the addin to show up right and it starts listening to the events been triggered by excel. In one of the events, the addin class, via invocation, is supposed to instantiate an instance of the struct and pass it to the running instance of the implementer class which changes and modifies the info in the hashtable of that struct. when trying to send that struct (which is a dll file by itself but added to both projects as reference) I get the error message s ...Show All

  Im trying to do a video Tutorial for pong. Now in the video when he opens his new project, he starts off with a graphics Icon. I dont, I start off in code view. Im wondering how do i get from code view to the Icon view so i can change my BackBuffer settings. ok heres the link.

• .NET Development Connection String in Client / Server Application, Strong typed Dataset

  Sorry bout the subject, but it is my conundrum. I have a solution (C#) that is fat clients (winforms) talking to a database (SQL Server 2005). Our solution uses a strong typed dataset for all of its operation for the various benefits gained therein. I have used untyped solutions, and when you write the dataadapters, its very easy to customise the connection string. However strong typed, you must specify the connection string at design time. Our server deployment must be hands off, and thus my problem. I have created a customised database installer that obtains information entered by the Administrator on how to connect to the database, and I have a way to take that information and put it into a string. What I need is a writa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I print a form???

  -Visual Basic Express 2005- To print a form in the older version 6.0 the line of code was something like form.PrintForm to print that form. I need to know the simplest way to print a form with Express. I figured it would be simple but maybe I'm missing something because I really need help... Please :) here is a better overall solution, which requires some P/Invoke to GDI: import System.Runtime.InteropServices .. <DllImport("gdi32.dll", SetLastError:=True)> public shared function BitBlt(ByVal hdcDest as IntPtr, Byval nXDest as Integer, Byval nYDest as Integer, ByVal nWidth as Integer, ByVal nHeight as Integer, ByVal hdcSrc as IntPtr, byval nXSrc as Integer, byval nYSrc as Integer, byval dwRop as Integer) ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Error with TreeView in Web Part

  I'm attempting to create a custom web part that will display information using a TreeView.  I'm able to retrieve the required information without any problems as I can render it in raw text.  When I attempt to use a TreeView I can render the control, but I'm not able to expand any of the nodes (or collapse them if I make them expanded by default) instead I get an error message stating that "Problem with this Web page might prevent t from being displayed properly or functioning properly."  The details of the error are as follows: Line: 1 Char: 1 Error: Object Expected Code: 0 Url: The url of the page I'm viewing I've reduced the Web Part to just creating a simple TreeView and rendering it, my code is as follows: ...Show All

• SQL Server Is there a way to 'peek' the items in a queue?

  ... or some other way to prolong their presence on the queue. The scenario I'm dealing with requires me to receive a batch of messages and fire them off (as a batch) to a legacy Unix application via TCP. What I need to do is keep those messages on the queue (or at least somewhere else in the database) until I know for certain that the legacy app has received them. Comments After reading Roger's online whitepaper ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnsql90/html/sqlsvcbroker.asp ), I've concluded that my particular problem can be solved quite elegantly by transactional messaging, basically by equating one burst with one transaction. It turns out (assuming that the ...Show All

• SQL Server Relate a Contact to Customer

  I have a contact table and a customer table. The two tables will contain columns like First name Last Name, Date of Birth Post Code, House Number Street Name etc. I would like to find the different combinations in which I can relate the customer and contact data. Like its is possible that the first name and last name are same but date of birth is different. This indicates that the contact and customer is the same. Now I do not know these combinations and I would like to have this set generated for me. From Integration Service (Sql Server 2005) I get the data and I would like to know the patterns in which data will differ. Is there any way of achieving this I am very new to Data Mining and ...Show All

• SQL Server Problems installing Reporting Services

  Hi Folks, I want to download Reporting Services for SQL Server Express Edition but I can't find it. It seems to be in Analysis Services but when I run SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE I don't find any mention of Reporting Services. I get to the final options choice which offers me 'Database Services' and 'Client Components' but neither of these mentions Reporting Services. I have installed BI Studio successfully. I'd be grateful for any and all suggestions. Thanks a lot. Barry You obtain "Reporting Services", you have to download and install SQL Server Express Advanced Services.

• Visual Studio Team System Is it possible to run Web Tests under a Load Test as dedicated threads?

  Hi, I am trying something new (for me, anyway) with Load Test type, but think I may have hit a brick wall. I have a series of Unit Tests defined, which run fine themselves but must operate under a Single Threaded Apartment State, which I believe is the default state set in the testrunconfig file. When I attempt to run these same tests under a Load test I get errors indicating that the Apartment State is not STA. I have read elsewhere ( http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=12761&SiteID=1) that the Load Test behaviour is fundamentally different and that the thread pool is used for multiple web tests. Is this correct, and if so are there any obvious options anyone can think of to work around Any ideas appre ...Show All

• SQL Server Changing the caption of a member name in a Named Set

  I have created a named set that includes a list of five customers. One of the customers is named "XYZ Corp.". For the named set, I want to display the customer with a name of "XYZ Corporation". Could someone supply me with the syntax needed to do this Thank you. David Normally it is not possible to change captions/names of the existing hierarchy members. The usual workaround is to create calculated member which aliases the original member. This, however, has couple of implications, for example Exists rules for the calculation member are different etc. CREATE Customers.[XYZ Corporation] = Customers.[XYZ Corp]; CREATE SET NamedSet AS { ..., [XYZ Corporation], ... }; ...Show All
