• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Help with a formula

  I need to write a formula for Excel that calculates the amount of fuel that is in a tank. Here is what it is for. We have cylinder tanks that lay horizontaly. Each month we put a dipstick into the tank to measure how many inches of fuel is left in the tank. I need a formula that will take that and calculate it into gallons. Here is the formula I have to work with. / -1 r - h \ V = L * | [ r^2 * cos (--------)] - [sqrt(2rh - h^2) * (r - h)] | \ r / Any Help is appreciated (BTW I am not the best at math so if possible an explination of this formula would be greatly appreciated) Im sorry the se ...Show All

• .NET Development Memory problem in importing GB file using MS text driver

  Dear All, I am using MS text driver for importing data to dataset from CSV file. But if the CSV file size is in GB then it requires lot of memory for filling the dataset. Is there any way to import data part by part using MS text driver Thanks in Advance Rajani You can use a WHERE clause in the SQL query to limit the number of rows returned. Of course this will require a column by which the data can be sorted. Returning a gig of data in a single query is simply not feasible. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Satellite Assemblies

  Hello, I have just made my first application with VB 2005 Express Edition. This application uses .NET Windows Form Components from Devexpress (like xtraGrid). The components of Devexpress are localized by putting a NL (for Dutch) directory in the bin/debug directory of my application. This NL directory contains serveral recources.dll files and localizationres.nl files (depending on the components you use). These files have been created by Devexpress and can be downloaded from their website. After publishing my project with the ClickOnce wizard, I installed the application onto another computer. The application works fine except for the localization. I have asked Devexpress for help and they say : Do you use the ClickOnce techn ...Show All

• SQL Server Pointing an Analysis Services project at a different database

  Hello, Apologies once again for being new to Analysis Services. I am very grateful for the help that I have received from this forum in the past. The scenario is that a number of cubes have been built from a number of datasource views that point to a particular database. These datasource views contain a significant number of named queries. The views are structured to resemble star schemas, but the database behind them is an OLTP database, not a data warehouse proper. This database is the development database for the software product sold by my company. I am trying to rebuild my cubes and dimensions based on another database (a customer database). This has identical structure but different data from the development database. I hav ...Show All

• Visual Studio installation question

  I'm new to VS. I had it installed on my work computer as well as my laptop. I just noticed that on my laptop version, I have many more options. For example, when I open VS on my laptop, I have the option of opening a new "project" or a new "web site". On my other computer, I can only open up a project and I don't have the option of creating a website. I also have VS Web developer installed on this computer. Do you have any ideas I also have Crystal reports, and other tools that I dont have on this other computer. Does anyone know which disk this is on I have a lot of them and am getting confused. Do you mean that the submenu "New Web site" under menu "File" is missi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Debugging a UI.

  I have a C# app/UI. I'm trying to debug the UI and I'd like to be able to watch it update as I step through the code. I used to be able to to this with previous versions of VB, but I seem to have lost that ability with the jump to C# and/or VS2005. I have a dual monitor setup and I used to put the UI on one screen and step through the code on the other and see exactly how my UI reacts as each line of code is executed. This was very helpful when designing my interface. Is this not possible with C#/VS2005 I believe the Graphics.Flush function was intended to do this but I cannot get it to flush consistently. Another method I've tried in the past is, at key points, dump the graphics object to the file system. Here's an example. ...Show All

  Hi everybody, is there a way to get a notification in a WPF application when a new CD / DVD was inserted or a USB-stick was attached In WinForms I would intercept the WM_DEVICECHANGE event but I would like to know if there is a more elegant way without switching to windows forms in WPF.

  I have Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Software Developers and can right click on a project and "Run Code Analysis" but I get no Code Analysis tab in Project Properties. Anyone know how to fix this. Thanks Why is this marked as the answer when it answers nothing I have the same problem, and after doing some research it appears that *possibly* SQL Server 2005 has installed an incompatible version of MSXML 6--in any event MSXML is installed, and I am working with vb.net in a WinForms app, where other developers have Code analysis and I don't. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Anyone getting fuzzy fonts after scaling in June CTP?

  I've got text and buttons that scale progmatically and I've noticed that after a scaling event has occured the text appears fuzzy, even after scaling back to unity.
