• SQL Server Writeback through report

  Hi, is there any way to write back values to an SSDS DB or SSAS Cube through a reporting services report Best regards Hannes Chris, if you are still looking for feedback.. I was looking up this topic as I had a situation where I thought it might be useful. A finance team I am doing a contract for have been doing forecasting on Excel sheets up until now and wish to create a more secure solution, less manual entry etc. The spreadsheet is currently very similar to the matrix control with drill down both vertically and horizontally etc. I thought a solution provided as a RS report would provide what they need - if - they could update their forecast data back to a DB. Instead I guess I will need to develop a complete ASPX page ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Any examples of new SDK's custom tile layer, but loading a mapcruncher created layer instead of the custom tile layer?

  I didn't seem to find any references to how the mapcruncher layer object precisely "maps" to the new VETileSource object in the new SDK reference. It seems it would need to reference the layer's crunched xml file instead of the tile images directly, right Thanks for any help on this! Hi Caleb, I guess what thru me off is that I don't see any reference to the Layers crunched xml file URL or any reference to activating the alpha layer, both which are steps in the mapcrucher layer load I'm using now. Am I right that I can just point to my mapcrucher gernerated tiles directly and it will work here's my present code using the mapcrucher provided example: var layers = MSR.CVE.ImportLayersFromAnchorHRef("Cru ...Show All

• Windows Forms ListBox control changes selection on MouseDown, not MouseClick - can this be changed?

  Hi all, I have a class that inherits from ListBox and provides drag/drop functionality. I'm finding that selecting multiple items to drag is frustrating, because ListBox doesn't handle a "multi-select-followed-by-drag" operation in quite the same way as ListView (or, eg. Windows Explorer) Try this: Open your "My Documents" folder, select a file. Hold down Ctrl and click a few more to add them to the selection. Now - if you mouse-down (ie. click but don't release) the left button on one of the selected items, it'll allow you to pick them up and drag them. The item selection doesn't change until you release the mouse button. The WinForms ListView control also behaves this way, but the ListBox control appears to u ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development RTM version of Windows Media Player 11 is incompatible with HDiSim

  Just a quick note that the final release version of WMP 11 causes video playback to stop working in the HDiSim Beta. If you have already downloaded the beta of WMP 11, avoid upgrading to the RTM version if you also want to run HDiSim. Obviously you should upgrade to the RTM version on all your mission-critical machines that don't have HDiSim on them, but nobody is running beta software on their production machines, are they :-) I have two machines (one laptop, one desktop) which are both working with WMP 11 RTM. My third laptop does not work with any version of WMP. My research indicates that it is the lack of hardware T&L support on my third laptop. So, you may want to give the RTM a shot if you have hardware T&L. Otherwi ...Show All

• .NET Development Generating xml file for external application

  Hello community I'm currently working on a project which interacts with a external printing and archiving application. For this app, an xml file is delivered, which will be parsed and processed. Until now, this xml file is generated manually. Due to its complex schema and size it's quite a heavy task to do this manually. That's why I'm looking for a better solution for generating this generation. So far, my idea was to build an xml schema (xsd file, there is not such a schema yet), generate classes from this schema using xsd command and build a small engine/framework to build an object tree programmatically (filled with custom date, ->parameters) and more comfortable, which would be serialized as xml file at the end. For me, this seems ...Show All

• SQL Server Moving data from SQL 2005 to SQL 2000 daily

  We need to upgrade our HR system from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. Support for SQL 2000 ends 12/31/2007. We have a third party vender that do not currently support SQL 2005. Employee's data is transfered from our HR database to the third party database for the purpose of yearly performance evaluation on a daily basis. Both databases are currenlty on a SQL 2000 server. Can data be transferred from a SQL 2005 database to a SQL 2000 database A better solution would be to put the database on 2005 and set the database to 80 (2000) compatiblity. That should fix 99.9% of your issues with conversion and get the database on 2005 where you want it. ...Show All

  Hello all, I am creating and writing on a .rtf file using c#.net.but what i want the data on the file is to be displayed on style(eg. bold,font etc). How is it possible My code is as follows. System.IO.

• .NET Development sorting data in tables

  as abv, how can i do it im using sql server express 2005. my situation.. i had retrieved data and sort them before i add them into a combobox. so the problem now is that the ID at the combobox doesnt tally with the ID at the database. the data in the table will continue to increase as time goes.. eg. combobox 0. apple 1.orange 2.pear table 0.orange 1.pear 2.apple i would like to sort the data before i can use the ID for another purpose. SelectedIndex is just the number of the selected item in the listbox. So instead of using selectedindex, use the SelectedItem and cast this to a DataRowView and extract the value, like so: DataSet ds = null; DataTable t = null; private void button2 ...Show All
