• SQL Server UK date format being switched to US format

  Hi all, I am updating some reports in SSRS 2000 and need to pass a couple of date parameters to the reports. I pass the dates like so: ... params( 1 ) = New ParameterValue params( 1 ).Name = "DateFrom" params( 1 ).Value = dateFrom.ToString( "yyyy-MM-dd" ) params( 2 ) = New ParameterValue params( 2 ).Name = "DateTo" params( 2 ).Value = dateTo.ToString( "yyyy-MM-dd" ) ... I am using the format 'yyyy-MM-dd' to try to avoid any regional format problems, but when the dates are used and displayed in the report, they have magically switched to US format! How do I get around this Regards, Stephen. Try this fella Format(Cdate (Fi ...Show All

• Visual C# documentcomplete event

  I've got a really weird problem with my application; it works on some pc's, and it doesn't on some others. What I've got: A Visual C# 2005 console application with references to MSHTML and SHDOCVW. I use mshtml to get a list of currently open browser windows, and attach events to it to edit the list when a new browser window is created or closed. I attach a documentComplete event to each open browser window and handle it the event there (let's say it prints out the url where is navigated to). So when I run this program, it should detect when I open a new browser window, when I close one, and it should print out the url of a site when it is done loading it. And there's my problem. On a few pc's, it all works perfectly. But o ...Show All

• Windows Forms DefaultValuesNeeded Event not Firing

  Good morning, I am trying to default vaues for a couple of columns on my grid. I have tried a couple of approaches but cannot seem to get this event to fire. I am letting Visual Studio do the majority of the work so in the designer you have: this.broadcastRightsDataGridView.DefaultValuesNeeded += new System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewRowEventHandler(this.broadcastRightsDataGridView_DefaultValuesNeeded); And then this: private void broadcastRightsDataGridView_DefaultValuesNeeded( object sender, DataGridViewRowEventArgs e) { MessageBox .Show( "defaultvaluesneeded entered" ); } Yes, I have tried debugger to see if the method gets hit but this is a hold over from my old green screen days. Anyway, the ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Whos using TorqueX, Who isn't?

  Just curious: 1. Are you using TorqueX or not - and why or why not 2. If you are using TorqueX are you also using TorqueX Game Builder and why or why not I'm experimenting with both but haven't decided if its the way I'm going to go yet. I'm using TorqueX, in the sense that I'm reading the docs and sample code voraciously, but haven't touched the Game Builder yet. That's my project for THIS weekend. All in all, I'm pretty damn impressed. http://geekswithblogs.net/cwilliams/archive/2006/12/15/101326.aspx Chris ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Service references and libraries

  I have many libraries in my app and wanted to create a 'WCF services' library to keep all of my services references and functions in one place. I find that it does not work unless I have a service reference in the services library and in each of the calling libraries - obviously not simplifying things as intended. Is there a way of doing this Thanks John Follow up to initial post. I was still having problems in my main app referencing the WCF service from a library (dll). A test app worked fine with the code in the main app - no dll's! I found that when I put a service reference in my main app that called a function in the dll then it worked ie I had a service reference in the main app ...Show All

• Windows Forms Click doesn't install required components

  Hi all... I have developed a simple Windows Forms application that uses ReportViewer control and ADO.NET to access a SQL Server database by mean of SqlClient classes. Then I published the application to a web page. When I load the publish.htm page from a client computer, it says that .NET Framework 2.0 isn't installed, showing a "Install" button. Well.. I pressed it and .NET framework 2.0 was installed, I think. After that installer wizard finished, I continued installing the application but an error telling that ReportViewer assemblies aren't in GAC occurs. I manually installed ReportViewer component, then I rebooted the machine, just in case. I loaded publish.htm page again and when I tried to install the applicatio ...Show All
