• .NET Development Copying rows from one datatable to another

  Hi I have a form which shows the order lines added to an order. These are displayed in a flexgrid. There is a button called 'Add Product' which shows a Product form with all the products in the database listed in a list box. The user can choose as many products as he likes and on pressing OK they should all be added to the flexgrid in the order form as they are now order lines. Ive got a problem with the 'Row Already belongs to another table' error. It occurs when I try to add a new OrderDetail datarow to my orderdetails table.

• SQL Server Optimizing datediff

  Hey all, I run a monthly delete that's recurring; delete data > 2 months old. For December, I thought up two ways to do this: Query 1: delete from daily_statements where daily_statements < '2006-10-01' Query 2: delete from daily_statements where datediff(month, statement_date, getdate()) <= 3 I've plugged in Query 2 into the job step because it can be run at any time without having to change the value, but it took 22 minutes to delete 2.5 million rows versus 4 minutes to delete 5.3 million rows for the other one. Is query 2 the best it can be Thanks! Use a variable to compare the dates: DECLARE @enddate datetime SET @enddate = DATEADD(month, -2, GETDATE()) SET @enddate = CAST(CAST(MONTH(@enddate) AS VARCHAR(2)) + '/01/' + ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions TaskbarNotifier from backgroundworker

  With ref to John O'Bryne's great code to run a msn-like taskbar notifier http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/taskbarnotifier.asp Please can someone help walk me through how to use this taskbarnotifer in a C# project and run a message "Your job is done" from a backgroundworker's RunWorkerCompleted event Basically I'd like to use the taskbarnotifier instead of messagebox.show Thanks for any help. That was very interesting. But I'm not sure if that band real estate will be available on all end users machines. I'm wondering if, with the msn messenger sliding popup I mentioned at the start of this thread, we could slap on a progress bar and run it that way... ...Show All

• SQL Server How to recover from mdf file (SQL Server 2000)

  Hi, My database corrupted because when I was running an update query, there is a power failure. After the computer booted, I cannot open the database anymore, it just not responding. Then I stop the sql server service, and tried to rename the .mdf and .ldf. After that it worked normally, but I need the data from the corrupted mdf file, I tried to attach the database but it just hanged. I even tried to attach without the .ldf file but it didn't work either, so I concluded that the problem is with the mdf file. Is there any way to recover my data Thanks in advance Regards, Edwin Hi, We'd tried that but we got no luck. Attaching the file in it's original name didn't work, the computer just ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Missing IPendingWork as Parameter of WorkflowInstance.Start

  Hi everybody, I am using WF to implemented a generic solution for human workflow. In this solution it is common use, that the creation of a business object triggers the creation of a workflow and the workflow gets a reference to the business object. The creation of the business object is encapsulated in an "Transaction" of an O/R Mapper which implements IPendingWork. The problem is, that the Creation of Workflow does honor an IPendingWork object, so I have to take care of dumping the workflow when the O/R Transaction fails which is not a good design. So - what if the Start Method has an IPendingWork Parameter Best regards, Thomas Thanks for describing your scenario! Yes, we're aware o ...Show All
