SqlCommand getOrgs = new SqlCommand("SELECT DISTINCT Organization FROM phenostream_usr.Affiliations"); why is this why can't i just say "From Affiliations" Hi, In MS SQL 2005, the phenostream_usr schema is no longer considered as a user but as a namespace within the database.

• Windows Forms Forbid user to change to another tab in a TabControl

  Hey, I'd like to forbid users to switch to other tab in a TabControl, while allowing them to interact with the controls in the selected one.

• Windows Forms Is there an easy way to return the Number of records retrieved by a stored procedure?

  I am creating some reports that involve, potentially, a large number of records. I am retrieving the records using a stored procedure. which works fine, as it is. I would like to give feedback to the user to let them know something is happening while the records are being retrieved and loaded into the report. The only answer I have found so far, searching these forums, is to retrieve the data with a data reader and count the number of records! I know there must be an easier way, because when I execute the stored procedure to test it out, The output panel displays the number of records Retrieved! The datareader has a property which shows the number of records affected, but I can't find one for the number of records returned. Ha ...Show All

• Visual C++ trying to use localtime.....

  Hello...I'm trying to have it display the local time of the users location.....It's weird that TickCount is in Environment:: .. but LocalTime is not. How do you get it to get the local time ! Thanks. GetLocalTime returns a void you cannot initialize a string with that and you cannot pass an unintialized pointer to GetLocalTime - well you can, but... Use this instead: SYSTEMTIME st; GetLocalTime(&st); System::String^ s = System::String::Format( "{0}.{1}.{2} {3}:{4}:{5}" ,st.wDay, st.wMonth, st.wYear, st.wHour, st.wMinute, st.wSecond); System::Console::WriteLine(s); -- SvenC ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Custom vertex format

  I am writing a pixelshader for terrain coloring and I am selecting my coor based on a number of different parameters, such a normal vector, 3d position and up to four noise functions, which define things as humidity, terrain type etc. The terrain is one huge mesh, optimized as a ROAM, and each vertex has the properties mentioned above. There are formsts for storing normal, position, color or some other combination, but there are not enough for my need. I remember reading somewhere about defining your own format, but I can not find it again and the last time i tried, it didnt work. Can someone suggest where I should read about this An extra question is... the position is never interpolated (before being passed to the pixelshader ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Is there any place where I should set the roles of the users?

  Hi Is there any place where I should set the roles of the users in the project A place where to set: Jhon is architect, Miriam is developer, etc. Thanks Javier There isn't a way to directly map users to roles in TFS. However, depending on what you're trying to do, there are some options for you. For example, if you want roles to define access permissions, you can define security groups (either as Windows groups or TFS security groups) for these roles and assign users to those groups. Let me know if that covers what you were looking for, or if not, please elaborate on your need. thanks! ...Show All
