• SQL Server How to not send subscription report if no data

  I have a report that may or may not have data. I have a subscription setup for this report. The subscription has a defined To list. I would like to NOT send the report if there is no data on the report. I did this in SQL 2000 by raising an error from the stored procedure if there was no data. However, that approach does not seem to work with 2005. Is there another way to accomplish this Hi, Someone in this forum had an idea about this, sorry I could not recall the name. I applied the idea this way. I have a job with 2 steps, the first step is some kind of test to decide wether or not and when to fire the report subscription. If the first step fails, the report is not sent. In my case, I set the firs ...Show All

• Visual Studio Printing printer fonts

  Hello When I change fonts with the "format object" command I can select printer fonts (I have an thermal printer driver installed on my system - epson TM88III). Right after clicking on the OK button the font type becomes as "Courier". If I try to select the font type using the properties tab I can't fint any printer font, just the system fonts. I suppose this is the reason why printer fonts can't be selected. Is there any workaround to this issue (report preview prints with printer fonts...) Thanks for helping! Pretty much the only way around this is not to use .NET to process the report, you will have to use another one of Crystals sdk's available using java, or the versions (RDC) tha ...Show All

• SQL Server How do you get the last modified date column in SQL Management Studio

  In 2000, the last modified date was show as a column when viewing the various database objects. So, after a long off-line session with a copy of a database, you could sort the query list, by last date modified, and script the recently changed queries to a file. It was very easy to see exactly what was changed recently. How do you do this in 2005 thanks Custom reports and the same kind of reports as the reports that come with SQL Server 2005 except that you can create your own. So you could create a report for database, attach it to the Object Explorer node of any database and the report will run and show you information about all the table in that database. Custom Reports are unrel ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Hiding IP Address in Internet Browser

  has anyone got any code snippets or can anyone tell me how to hide the users Internet Protocol (IP) address when they are browsing. So it's an annoymous browser. Of course it can be done in the framework.... But the IP is your address. What happens when you say, Mail me a letter to address B when your real address is address A The letter goes to B when you are at A. The moment you give a server an incorrect address is the last time you will hear anything from the server during that session. There are proxy servers but those are something else. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Troubleshooting with IDE - Unable to open search!

  Hi. I have Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition and I am having problems with the "Search" option, where you type in Keywords and it searches on 4 different websites / places including my on-board MSDN. It has worked before, in the past, and has been very helpful... But lately it will not open when I try to start it. When I click on the "Search" button at the top it gives me this message box: "The type initializer for 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.CommonIDE.Help.Sylesheet' threw an exception." and that is all that it tells me. I have no idea why it says this and will not open. I have also tried reinstalling my software and that did not help a thing. Thanks, I hope you can help. -Joe M. ...Show All

• .NET Development Threading fun ;)

  Hello threading professionals, I have something "clean" and interesting for you... please help. I will appreciate it.. I want to solve the problem and (more so) learn about how this thing works.. very interested in the details. In my simple notes-taking simple, once in a blue moon it happens that the GUI stops responding.. I finally took the courage and attached a debugger earlier today when it happened again. With my newly acquired debugging skills I found out where the problem lies and what is happening. However I still don't understand WHY it happens. I imagine that it should be too hard of a challenge for someone with a lot of experience in this subject. Here we go: In my NotesForm, I use a System.Threading.Timer which fires every 20se ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA framework for non C#

  One of the great advantages of the .NET framework is that developers can work on the same project in different programming languages. As I'm reading about XNA, it seems that this will not be possible with the XNA framework. Will the only programming language that has access to the XNA framework be C# aka_Big_Wurm wrote: The performance hit is from C++ to C# or C++ to VB. VB runs CRL just like C# so the performance is the same. Well, since C++ isn't even an option, this is pretty much a non-issue. C++/CLI is managed as well, and will run at exactly the same speed (compiler optimization differences notwithstanding). ...Show All
