• SQL Server Silent SQL SE 2005 install headaches...

  Yet another roadblock: Does the standard SQL SE 2005 not install any of the query commands (isql, isqlw, or osql.exe's). I could have sworn that they were, but every time I go to test the install on my VM none of them are ever installed. If it doesn't is it included in the advanced version of it (which I'd really rather not do) If still no what's the easiest option I still have open Can I have my app connect to the master db and run a restore script from the app I've been arm wrestling with this install for over a week and it's just about brow-beaten me completely. TIA, Jayyde Sorry for not replying sooner. I actually just got so frustrated that I just kept the .bak file there and have my app look ...Show All

• .NET Development How do I specify paramaters from my SqlDataAdapter.Update method?

  Hello, I have some code that takes the data from my local machine and then sends it across the network to an SQL server 7.0 backend. Here is my code: myDS.Tables("tblName").Rows.Add(myDataRow) mySQLDataAdapter.Update(myDS, "tblName") The problem that I am facing is when the second line runs, it adds to the data that is already in SQL server 7.0. What I want it to do is update the data on the network where the ID from the local machine is the same as the ID in the data on the network server. Is there a way to specify logic in the SQLDataAdapter.Update as such... mySQLDataAdapter.Update(myDS where id = id, "tblName") Thanks in advance. Hi, the pr ...Show All

• SQL Server Parameter Dependency

  I have 2 parameters in my .rdl. Param1 and param2 both have available set of values and param2 is multi valued. 1. I would like that after the user select a value in Param1, an event or something would be triggered that would populate Param2 i.e. make selection in param2 I have tried implementing the same by making default parameters of param2 from proc whose input parameter is equal to value in param1. The values in param2 gets selected when value in param1 is selected but this happens only first time, until page is refreshed again. I am looking if param2 could make selection if param1 is changed And it should also be available for independent selection. Thank you. ...Show All

• Windows Forms ClickOnce file extension registration

  In the ClickOnce FAQ at http://www.windowsforms.net/FAQs/default.aspx PageID=2&ItemID=17&CategoryID=24&tabindex=2 it says: "Some low impact tasks such as file type registration can be achieved with first time app-startup logic in your application" How can I register a file name extension which will invoke my ClickOnce deployed application If one can find the .exe on disk and register this one then ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed is false. So this seems like a dead end. Any help would be appreciated.   /Lars I would actually advise against using ClickOnce and use MSI instead if your application needs to register file extensions. This release of ClickOnce does not provide& ...Show All

• SQL Server Two report parameters: "Please select a value for the parameter...."

  I’ve build a report with Report Design. On this report I want to show the items customers bought. In this report I added a Report Parameter so the user can select a specific customer. I made an extra dataset and use the filter =@customer and this parameter works fine. Then I want to ad a second Report Parameter: the salesperson. When I leave one of the parameters blank, I get an error "Please select a value for the parameter....". Even if I choose the options allow blank or null values, I get this error. What I want is de possibility to get all the records, to filter records from one specific customer or to filter records from a specific salesperson. The code above doesn't work. The OR operator ...Show All

• Connected Services Framework Product Service mapping to be loaded at runtime

  hi, I receive a request from my order management system which has some product information. Based on this product, i need to pick up the services that have to be provisioned.

• SQL Server How can I hide leaf level members of a ragged dimension ?

  I need to hide leaf level members of a ragged dimension. Any thoughts My original approach was through roles (security), but I am open to other suggestions. Maybe I need to generalize this.  Is it possible to hide lower levels of a heirarchical dimension Specifically, I have our corporate organization, with the following heirarchy: CEO-->ExecVP-->VP-->Director-->Manager-->Supervisor-->Employee.   I need to be able to hide measures associated with leaf-level employees, and also selectively at the small group (supervisor) level. But security seems to work backwards--I can hide top level aggregations, but not the lower level. Any ideas ...Show All
