• Visual Basic Perminently update a dataset without SQL command?

  Hi, Is it possible to perminently update a dataset without an sql command. I am trying to edit a data table programmatically, and write my changes to my dataset. Something like this: dim dt as new datatable dt = me.dataset1.table1 dt.rows(1).item(1) = 5 dt.AcceptChanges() me.dataset1.table1DataAdapter.Update(dt) But, after i run this, the table in my dataset does not seem to be updated with the new values. What do i need to do differently Thanks in advance. Pete M That's weak, but oh well...i'll figure it out. I have a related question: When i add a datasource, is that data stored within my VB application or does my applicaion only connect to the database that's sored on my c ...Show All

• SQL Server Check FTP file date

  First I want to thank everyone that has given help to me and everyone else with the issues involving migrating to 2005... Thanks alot.. Now for the problem. I am looking for (an not finding anything of help) to check the date of a file on an ftp server. A file always exists but once a month the day changes. I would just download the file and check it locally but the files are several hundred megs in size so that would be inefficient. So is there anyway to do that On another note, can anyone point me to a good resource for learning the scripting language that SSIS uses the ftp connection (which does all the work for the FtpTask) is written in c++ using winInet call. the managed System.Net ...Show All

• Visual C++ Simple problem adding control to CStatusBar

  Hi folks, I've got an VC2005/SDI/MFC/DocView app. I'm trying to add a CProgressCtrl to the lower right-hand part of the status bar but it doesn't seem to be working (it's never visible). Here's what I've done: 1) Right-clicked "IDR_MAINFRAME" in resource view, clicked "Resource Symbols..." and added a new symbol called "ID_PROGRESS_PANE". I kept the default value it gave me (101). 2) in "MainFrame.cpp" I added "ID_PROGRESS_PANE" to the end of the indicators list near the top of the file. There are a total of 5 indicators in the list after the addition. 3) Right-clicked "String Table" in the resource view and clicked "Open". Added a new string with "ID_PR ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Build notes - how do you create them?

  I was hoping users on this forum could share ideas on how best to create release notes and if it possible to automate part of that. Although work items are generated as part of every build we'd need an aggregation of WIs from say build 1-15 if that were the interval between builds that were deplyoed in the QA environment. Creating a utlity/web site that uses the TFS object model to extract WIs is a possibility but I don't want to run this as some kind of a report. I think a good approach would be to have the notes published on Sharepoint, i.e. you don't have to generate them every time. Anybody have thoughts around this I know this is not the solution you are looking for, but the same result may be achieved with additional build typ ...Show All

• Windows Forms StatusStrip - SizingGrip problem

  Hi I've added a StatusStrip control to a form. Within this I added a ToolStripProgressBar , and set it's Alignment to "Right". Now I have the progress bar next to the SizingGrip. If I now set "SizingGrip = False", the sizing grip is removed, but there still is an empty area left. I now have an ugly space between the progress bar and form border. How do I get rid of this area Kind Regards I also tried it on a PC with Windows Themes enabled. That looks fine also, the progress bar is flush to the window border. No idea why you'd have a problem. Note however that I used the RightToLeft property of the StatusStrip to get the progress bar to display on the right-hand side. Setting th ...Show All

  The definition in MSDN is :NavigationWindow is as Window that support content navigation. I can't understand . i want to know that :how could i navigation content by using NavigationWindow.

• Visual C# VS2005 and .Net 1.1

  I've developed a Windows app in VS2005 using C#. It is relatively simple and does not use any 2.0 .NET functionality so why doesn't it work on the 1.1 framework I cannot give this app to any one else unless they are running 2.0. This seems a fundamental flaw. I want it to run on both frameworks without having to have separate builds. With java you don't seem to have this issue. Am I missing the point Thanks Tony Hi Tony This all comes down to the way its compiled - you can force visual studio 2005 to compile to .net 1.1 and it should work fine:) I had hoped that it was simply a change in the project properties... but apparently not - take a peek here http://www.windows-now.com/blogs/robert/archive/2005/06/03/14 ...Show All

• SQL Server Matrix Report Not Showing All Columns

  I have a matrix report that I am using with MonthName(Fields!Month.Value) across the top of the report. However, when there is no data under the column, the month is skipped. So, for example, I get this: January March Actual Goal Actual Goal 25 25 30 35 I have tried adding iif(Sum(Fields!Total.Value, "DatasetName" )> 0, Sum(Fields!Total.Value, "DatasetName" ), "N/A" ) But it still is not showing up. Any ideas Thanks, SHP SHP, You will need to make sure in your SQL statement you are returning data for that month. If there is no data then you will need to return "Zero" and or "Spaces" H ...Show All

• .NET Development Problem saving unicode text into SQL Express using SqlDataAdapter

  Hi all,   Appreciate if anyone can shed some light on how I can solve this problem.   I'm using Visual C# .Net to develop a Windows application, and I'm storing data used by the application in DataSet and DataTable objects. I have no problem insert unicode strings into the DataTable and display it back on the GUI. The problem I'm facing is that when I try to save unicode strings in the DataTable by calling the SqlDataAdapter.Update(DataTable) method, the unicode string is stored in SQL Express database as a bunch of question marks ( ). The field's data type in the table is already nvarchar. Does anyone know why Does the DataSet locale have anything to do with it   Any help would be very muc ...Show All
