• SQL Server Conditional Formatting - not so conditional??

  I have the following code in the color property of a textbox. However, when I run my report all of the values in this column display in green regardless of their value. =SWITCH(Fields!Wrap.Value >= 3, "Red", Fields!Wrap.Value < 3, "Green") I already tried =iif(Fields!Wrap.Value >= 3 , "Red", "Green") and got the same results. Is it because this is a matrix report What am I doing wrong Thanks in advance . . . OK, well you pointed me right to my problem. The values are percentages. I was doing my conditional formatting based on 3 instead of .03 . . . That is fixed but I still have something else wrong. A very small number of values that are not .03 are colo ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Problem Photo Upload Dialog: "THis folder has a new image format. The COnverter is downloading."

  Does anyone have any insight as to what is causing the photo uploader not to recognize any photos in the My Pictures folder It shows "No photos in this folder" (when there are) and when you change to another folder containing photos it gives a dialog box " There are images with a new format in this folder. The converter is downloading". Well, there are the typical jpg photos in the folder, and when the dialog box goes away by itself, it still shows "no photos in folder". I've tried the whole reinstallation procedures, clearing cache, removing objects, etc. Every reinstall has the same problem. Any insights please -David I have a dual boot setup - Vista RC1 and XP Pr ...Show All

• Visual C# referencing undefined xml attributes

  Let's say I have a class created from XML schema. Inside the class there are reguired and optional attributes and elements. When I get an XML file where some of the attributes are missing ( not undefined ) for example due to missing element or simply the attribute misses I naturally get an exception of referencing undefined value when trying to use it. Is there a way I could test the attributes easier then using try catch ( NullReferenceException ) for each of them , cause there are many of them. Is there a function like IsDefined for an attribute or element Testing null values doesn't work for elements. It's true, you're right, you might help me with this, used something like this: ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How to rename a project folder in Mobile 5.0 device project

  I have started a Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC device Appliction project. At the end, I have been requested to rename the folder....grrrr.

If you do have folder name (e.g. added files with absolute paths), simple search/replace inside project files should fix it. Alternatively create new project and add file from the old one. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Adding or modifying SolutionExplorer icons in 2005

  Hello, is there a way to add to or overlay on the icons in Solution Explorer using the Automation (add-in) interface It seems that all I can do when I get an item in this window (UIHierarchyItem) is select it or fire its default method. I'd like to add little status icons such as the yellow exclamation when a file doesn't exist, or the status icons available when SCC is turned on. I don't know the answer to your question. But I would investigate the code of open source add-in AnkhSVN ( http://ankhsvn.tigris.org/ ). It does exactly what you need - icon overlays for project items. ...Show All
