• Windows Forms Help in datagridview

  HI.. please provide me the program to add, delete, edit and update records in datagridview.. please help check this out: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.datagridview.aspx to add us the methods: datagridview.rows.add() or datagridview.rows.insert() to delete, you can use: datagridview.rows.remove() or datagridview.rows.removeAt() update is a pretty vague term, but you probably mean to update a cell value: datagridView.rows[rownumber].Cells.[colNumber or "colName"].value=12345 ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Multiple Cores, etc... on the 360

  Hello everyone, Like practically everyone here, I'm truly excited about the idea of being able to run my own games on the 360! I've long been interested in the concept of running my own code on a console and it's always annoyed me that systems needed to be locked down so heavily because of the pirates who spoil the fun for all of us. So I just want to say thanks to Microsoft for giving us hobbyist/one-guy game developers the chance to develop for the console like this! It's like my prayers have been answered! Now for a couple of questions: 1) I'm just wondering how the multiple cores in the 360 will work Will the managed code automatically utilize all three (well, in effect, six) cores or w ...Show All

• SQL Server Calculated Measure using Datediff

  Hello out there, i am pretty new to SSAS and have to add a calculated measure that uses the Datediff function from T-SQL. In detail I want to calculate the average Datediff between a selected Date and the Dates in the DB Table DimUsers. For example: UserID = 1 - FirstVisitDate = 05-01-2005 UserID = 2 - FirstVisitDate = 07-05-2005 UserID = 3 - FirstVisitDate = 07-19-2005 . . . And now I want to display the average DateDiff in Days between those Datetimes and a selected Date (let's take 01-07-2006) for showing it in the Cube Browser. I hope I explained it clear enough and someone please show me a detailled way to do that. Thanks a lot in advance! Greets Claudio ...Show All

• Visual C++ Update the Edit Box.

  Hi... I am setting the text in the Edit Box by the following way. CString in_buff_data; m_Edit1.SetWindowText( in_buff_data ); I am calling SetWindowText in the timer event. The part of the contents of in_buff_data is chaging each time. But not changing whole string. Is there any way to just update(or replace) the characters those are changed. Because my Edit Box is blinking little bit because it is drawing each time from start. Thanks Thanks Marius Bancila, This ( i.e. SetSel and ReplaceSel ) will work once the characters are all ready written in the edit box. In my case, the text format is very complicated. I need to write one character at a time and also need to replace o ...Show All

• SQL Server Slow Running Insert After Changing OLE DB Destination Data Access Mode

  Hello, In a Data Flow Task, I have an insert that occurs into a SQL Server 2000 table from a fixed width flat file. The SQL Server table that the data goes into is accessed through an OLE DB connection manager that uses the Native OLE DB\Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server. In the OLE DB Destination, I changed the access mode from Table or View - fast load to Table or View because I needed to implement OLE DB Destination Error Output. The Error output goes to a SQL Server 2000 table that uses the same connection manager. The OLE DB Destination Editor Error Output 'Error' option is configured to 'Redirect' the row. 'Set this value to selected cells' is set to 'Fail component'. Was changing the access mode the simple reason ...Show All

• SQL Server Switching Excel Worksheets Based On Date

  Hello, I need to pull data from an Excel Workbook (DTS Excel Source) where the data is stored in worksheets that are each named one of the twelve months of the year.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) PrintQueue

  How to customize the printer selection instead of pointing to default printer E.g : The system is connected with network and configured with five printers (“HP Laser 1”, “HP Laser 2”, “HP Laser 3”, “HP Laser 4”, “HP Laser 5”), the printer one(“HP Laser 1”) is the default printer. Thanks and Regards Gobi N It depends on the task you would like to accomplish. To get input from the user on which print queue to utilize, you will likely want to use the PrintDialog API.

• SQL Server Zero converted to null

  I have restore a SQL Server 2000 database in SQL Server 2005. I have a web aplication that uses dll to talk to the database using ODBC - SQL Native Cliente provider. I have a table with a key integer not null. The first element of my table has a key = 0. When the asp page recive the record set the value of the key field is null, why If i use the query directly in the SQL Server the value of the key is 0. Please help. Hi, thats really strange. Check your query in your frontend if you really did not request the second value. The SNAC does not rewrite queries on his own, there must be a difference in the queries. HTH, Jens K.

• Audio and Video Development Running Multiple Script Files

  I'm running into a problem when I start to use more than one script file. From the little documentation I could find on this, the player should start with the first script file in the manifest, complile it, and move on to the next and store all the variables and functions for use when they are called. When I try this, the player runs none of the scripts and just plays the audio and video. The scripts were checked and are valid. Does the first script have to initialize the other scripts or am I missing something real obvious here Got it all working. I was defining too much in the manifest. Now it consists of one script, one markup, and one ACA resource. Guess sometimes simplicity is a better way to go. ...Show All
