• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums combine 3 combo boxes values into one string

  Hi all, I have a table of data which can filter out my desired information after i selected a range of date, for example 1-Jan-2006 to 15-Jan-2006, in a combo box. I can only choose date being stated in the combo box, not much flexibility. Now, i want to change the format of the combo box. Instead of one combo box which show the date, i want three combo boxes which show "Year", "Month" and "Day". I can choose any year, any month and any day i want and it will filter out. I am thinking of a solution by combining the values of the three combo boxes into one string, one line "1-Jan-2006", and start to filtering. Is this the only way to do it or is there any better ways to do this Below is my existing VB ...Show All

• Visual C++ VS2K5 SP1 Beta bugs!!!???

  I installed the beta to get around a merge problem with TFS and it worked. However, I create the installer for our product on that machine. When I released daily installer the code started breaking because the actual code was compiled with RTM VS2K5(this is expected) However, our previously released products running on MFC 8.0 all started breaking after installing the daily build. Why would already installed products on a system break if a product installed with the beta MFC merge modules start to break Is this what will happen when the SP ships And more importantly, how do I scrape the unwanted SP1 Beta DLLs from these now "infected" test machines Thanks, Hi, First, we need to understand why applica ...Show All

• .NET Development EBCDIC IBM037 encoding ignores line-feeds???

  It seems as though using clsFTP with: Dim b As Encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding( "IBM037" ) doesn't work. It ignores linefeeds and the text doesn't wrap properly. Anyone else heard of this Any solution Thanks. Sorry, the last time I dealt with EBCDIC was 25 years ago. I found that article that pretty much suggests why you would have a problem with line breaks. From there, you're pretty much on your own, hope you can work it out! ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF Application Caching

  Hi, I am looking for a way to cache data in a WPF application. The process works like this: I make a call to a web service, and retrieve customer information. I want to be able to store this information at the application level so that the user has the option of retrieving it from the cache, rather than having to call the web service each time. Before calling the web service, I want to be able to check the cache to see if the information exists. If it does, the information is retrieved from the cache. If it doesn't, then the new infomation is added. I was thinking of doing this using a Dictionary or Hashtable, but I'm not sure how to make this object available at the application scope. Is this a good approach, or is there a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Xsd To DslDefinition.dsl transformation

  Hi everybody, I'm wondering does anybody have XSLT which convert a XSD’s metamodel to a DSL’s metamodel I have some XSD’s metamodels which I really want to have as DSL’s. I don't really need designer for that DSL, I just need possibility to load model and use all features of it like: transactions, navigation, search and so on. I have created some simple and specific for me XSLT, but maybe somebody has more generic one I will be surprised if MS guys do not have one Evgeny. Yes, I totally agree - folks will have many XSDs, some of which might make interesting starting points for DSL models.
