• SQL Server Am using sql server 2005, column data type is varchar, how to write a query to sort

  this data. need help Sort following numbers by asc and desc order Before query sort -1.1 -8.8 -15.5 0.0 +0.5 +0.2 Sort asc +0.5 +0.2 0.0 -1.1 -8.8 Sort Desc -8.8 -1.1 0.0 +0.2 +0.5 Why are you storing numbers in varchar You can do a CAST(varchar_col as decimal( , )) with appropriate precision/scale and sort on the expression. select * from tbl order by cast(varchar_col as decimal(10,4)) -- or select * from tbl order by cast(varchar_col as float) But this is also ugly workaround. If you have data that cannot be converted successfully to decimal/float the query will fail. You can use ISNUMERIC but that checks for more formats and you may still get runtime errors depen ...Show All

• SQL Server Sql Server Configuration Manager ????

  If you want your database to be available from the Internet by using the ip address, what should the 'Log On As' column show Local System Local Service NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService What do these choices mean I'd advise you to consider whether you really need to expose your database on the Internet. Otherwise all of the above should work (provided that you're using TCP as your protocol). For the differences between those accounts please see: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/topics/serversecurity/serviceaccount/sspgch02.mspx Hope that helps. ...Show All

• Visual Basic How can I close all open database connections?

  Hello, I need to loop through all connections to the database I am using in my app (an .mdf file) and close and dispose of them all prior to exiting my application. Could someone please show me how to do this I am primarily using table adapters to access my DB. Thanks. In the closing function of your application is where you would want to initialize it...but that's about all I can help with there :\ Use a For Next method though and set Count = to the number of connections open. Then cycle through them and try the .Close() method I guess I've never dealt with closing of connections, so that's about all I can provide you. ...Show All

  Setup: Sql Server 2000 Reporting service installed on separate IIS server on windows 2000 server Current issue is when going to the report manager we currently get the following error: The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Creating and animating a TranslateTransform doesn't seem to work

  Hi, I'm trying to animate an element so it slides 300 pixels to the right. This works fine if I set a TranslateTransform to the element via code however doesn't work if I set the transform via a Storyboard. Any ideas why the code below doesn't work Note that to see the difference flip the "createUsingStoryboard" boolean value. When it is false, this code works, when true it doesn't. bool createUsingStoryboard = false; Storyboard storyboard = new Storyboard(); storyboard.FillBehavior = FillBehavior.Stop; if (createUsingStoryboard) { ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames renderTransformAnimation = new ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames(); Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(renderTransformAnimation, new PropertyPath(UIElement.RenderTransform ...Show All

• Visual Basic Application Launch Within Another Application's Window

  I am relatively new to this type of coding so please forgive the question if it is simple... Our company is migrating from VB6 to VB .NET (2003 edition). At the same time, we are integrating CTI and several other newish technologies. I know how to call another application to run independently. However, that is not necessarily the route I want to take. I would like to know how (if possible) to launch another application within my VB application. For example, we have a free standing program that just controls interaction between the telephones and computers, all the while receiving input from the user. Rather than trying to redesign a software that I am not the creator of, I figure it should be possible to open an instance of the p ...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# That's correct the XNA Framework is for Managed Code Development and runs on the Common Language Runtime which prevents a programmer from using unmanaged languages (C++) from using the XNA Framework. Managed C++, now called C++/CLI is something that could work with the XNA Framework. All this said I understand where your coming from Mossa and it's good feedback. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Looping Registry Keys

  I am making an application that allows me to backup my Microsoft Office 2003 settings. To be honest I have two questions if you dont mind.... One question I would like to ask is if anyone can help me think of a way to loop through each set of keys under each Office program key so that I may save each value as seen fit To do this so far I have had to look up each of them with regedit and write about 1700 lines of code, its works but seems to be terribly untidy and a loop I think would be more efficient. Another question would be; On installation of Office, would all of the keys and values be written. Or maybe they are not there until that particular setting or option has been edited within a program I thank any person that can ...Show All
