• SQL Server Basic Full Text search question

  Hi I am just starting to do a full text search on a sql 2000 database. My question is: If I want to query a table Employee for 1. a particular word in a very large varchar field named "resume" 2 - a boolean field named "willtransfer" and 3. a field that holds the index of another table named "Cities" Cities just holds an index and cityname field of 15 characters. do I create a fulltext index for all three fields or only the "resume" field since it is the only field that is being searched What would a query for these 3 fields look like if I am searching for. I have seen no examples that combine multiple fields. "speaks French" in resume, "true" for "willtransfer & ...Show All

• Visual Studio Exporting to Word

  Hi, I know that exporting into Word is not supported, but is it possible for me as a Developer to extend the report viewer functionality myself in order to do that I also read that it may be possible to export to Word if using the Report Server. Is that true Our current report is local. Also, does anyone know if a new version of the ReportViewer is planned and the timing of that release Thx. No, the ReportViewer control is not extensible. You cannot add new export formats. Report Server does not support Word export in the current version. Since features of the next version are not yet announced it is hard to say whether it will be in the next version. ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem with multi-valued parameters since SP1

  Hi, after the installation of SP1 I have a problem with multi-valued report parameters. The option to select all values are gone. Is there a bug within SP1 Before the installtion of SP1 multi-valued report parameters works fine, the option to select all values was added automatically within the preview in Visual Studio 2005 and in published reports on the server. The server was migrated from SQL2000 SP4 to SQL2005. So long Lemmi I'm sorry but this simulation of the "All" element is garbage! With all due respect this borders on condescending....yeah I could write a report in ASP.NET too but hey I have Reporting Services for that right This is not a solution.

• Smart Device Development Logical NOT (!) operator broken? What's happening?

  Does anyone have any idea why the logical not operator might not be working in Visual Studio 2005 compiling for ARMv4 Consider the following code. int test = -1; int test2 = !test; TCHAR temp[256]; wsprintf(temp, _T( "%d" ), test2); if (!test) ::MessageBox(NULL, _T( "Not!" ), _T( "Result" ), MB_OK); else ::MessageBox(NULL, temp, _T( "Result" ), MB_OK); The correct result is a messagebox which says "Not!", right Instead I get a messagebox saying "0" - that's wrong! Can anyone else duplicate this What could possibly be causing it That's how it supposed to work: -1 is not 0, so it's TRUE. In fact, all 4+ billion possible values are ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Weird Error -> Underlying connection closed

  I have a WCF windows service and client and their end points are configured as shown below. The really weird thing is the service works only if I DO NOT set these 2 properties on the concrete return object. this .Response.Result = RequestResult.Failure; this .Response.Errors.AddException(ex); Now when I debug, the above 2 lines do not produce an error and it steps out of the function without any problems. However, just as it is about to exit the main function, it throws an error given futher below: Other properties on the Response object can be set without any probs. I have also managed to write unit tests to serialize and de-serialize the Response objects successfully as well. Any Help Will Be Greatly Appreciated Sha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions What does it take to run you own program?

  My question is as the subject says: What does it take to run you own program I created my own program, put it on a floppy and tried it on an other computer... But it doesn't work... i get an error and this is the error signature. I think this is weird because i have the same version of windows as on the pc I developed the program on(Windows XP SP2) and i have .NET Framework 2 installed.

• Visual Studio Express Editions incremental linking is impossible, help please

  hi, I have been struggling with this problem for over 2 weeks, and i was told in one of the forums to try here. so here is my problem: I installed visual c++ 2005 express edition, and it works fine except the fact that it seems it has not incremental linking, it seems that for some reasons, it can't access the .obj files and update them (when I check their modification date, it shows the one from the last REbuild). I even disabled Norton antivirus and Zonealarm, thinking that they might have something to do. I have no clue what to do, and the size of my project makes impossible for me to live with this problem anymore. I can't wait for the whole source to REbulild after each modification !!! please, do you have any suggestions. Proj ...Show All
