• Visual Studio Express Editions OTP [VWD]: Search a database with a textbox and button

  I have seen this question asked many times but none of the previous answers are helping me.   I would like to have a search page with a textbox and a button. When the button is hit the text entered in the textbox would search a result page with a gridview for items containing the textbox string. I am confused by the many ways to carry the data over from the first page to the next. As well as how to contruct the SelectCommand to filter using the textbox string.   My gridview uses a thing like this right now, ProviderName =" <%$ ConnectionStrings:Database.ProviderName %> " SelectCommand ="SELECT descript AS Description FROM master WHERE (descript LIKE '%' + + '%')"> < SelectParameters & ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS puts the files an which path?

  TFS puts the documents files an which path i can't find anywhere or it puts the all documents in the Sqlserver database A related question. It looks like the path part of the table only allows 254 characters. Does this mean that I can't have folders nesting deeper than the level at which the full path length gets to 254 characters This seems like a serious limitation. ...Show All

• SQL Server No exception message from CLR stored procedure

  Hello everybody, I've encountered a strange thing using a CLR Stored procedure: The procedure throws an exception with no message inside... value = {" "} Basically the procedure has a string as argument which contains a SQL statement that changes according to the users selections... The results of the query are saved into a dataset for further processing. Those resultsets can sometimes be very big (ex: 15000 records...). (For the record the procedure works fine for smaller datasets ex 6000 records and running the same query on the application server returns the expected resultset ) By Debugging the procedure I could determine that the failing point was when the dataset is filled... Anyone having any id ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem appending to a raw file

  I have subscription records for five different magazine titles that i process by looping each one though a dataflow using a for-each loop.

• SQL Server AMO - measure numeric Value

  I'm building a cube dynamically and i want to list just the columns in the fact table that are numeric in order to make Sum's, AVG's and so on.

• Visual Studio HTTP Checkout - Possible Timeout Anomaly

  My team is encountering a strange problem when trying to checkin or add larger files to VSS 2005 via HTTP or HTTPS. The resulting error is always the dreaded: There was a failure uploading the URL.... although I don't believe that error indicates what the actual issue is. I've read what I think to be every post on the subject here and elsewhere on the web, and no situation matches exactly (others are simply an easy timeout misconfig or a permissions issue and nothing can be checked in.) It's not a permissions issue as all team members can checkin smaller files and large projects that contain small files-- as long as the file being checked in doesn't take more than 30-60 seconds (see below.) It's not a typical HTTP "tim ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Game Programming is very Hard

  I've been reading DirectX sdk tutorials and MDX tutorials and things like that, and it seems VERY VERY VERY hard. Will this new XNA studio and the documentation simplify this All these vectors and whatnot is very complicated and I'm having trouble understanding seemingly basic concepts in game programming in 3d. When you get into collision detection and reaction with high velocity objects, that's when my brain explodes and leaves a black hole. Game developers are probably some of the most talented individuals when it comes to understanding problems and solving them efficiently. There is still a lot of hacking (performance vs. maintainable code) going on though; that is why they might not be the best fit for enterprise level so ...Show All
