• SusanJ Custom aggregate functions?

  I noticed standard aggregate functions like sum, avg, count, etc.  Is there an extensibility mechanism to implement your own, like in SQL-Server Thanks Ad. We are also considering other ways to provide custom aggregates.  If you have ideas please share. :-) Adrian, If you're dealing with objects and not SQL, the answer is yes. I blogged some more details here: http://blogs.msdn.com/jomo_fishe ...Show All

• PRA Group Toolbox cannot contain multiple components with same namespace and name

  Hi all, I have two components with the same name of "Namespace.Component".  One works for Windows and the other works for Smart Device projects.  Unfortunately, I cannot add both components to my toolbox most likely due to the duplicate names.  Is there a way for both components to retain their namespace and names and to show up in the toolbox Thanks for your help, - Jeffrey Liu M ...Show All

• Angelo Cook How do I debug Web Apps on a remote machine ?

  Hi, I am trying to develop a web app that uses COM objects that only reside on a server where I cannot install VStudio. I have, however, installed .netFW 2.0 Beta and the remote debugging tools. Now I cannot find a way to tell VStudio to run the app on the remote machine when pressing F5. Is this by design The samples for remote debugging don't touch web apps, and the settings for web apps don't let me specify remote debugging. A little hint wo ...Show All

• Peter Svensson It takes forever to load a solution specifically because of VSS.

  I am wondering if there is any way to speed up the loading of solutions which contain projects bound to source safe repositories. It takes on average 5 minutes to start up a solution I use which contains 24 projects. When I unbind these projects to Source Safe the load time is 2 seconds. To check out files is a pretty bad story as well, it takes around 30 seconds just to pop up the dialog that asks if I would like to check out the file, then ano ...Show All

• Josh Crosby aggregate functions vs. scalar functions

  I just started looking at LINQ and think its great!  While reading the documentation, I saw that aggregate functions are defined explicitly and are distinct from scalar functions.  For example, the sum function is different from the '+' function.  Why couldn't the '+' function be passed as a parameter to the Fold function...in other words, a more general solution by avoiding redundant work!  I believe that is how it is done i ...Show All

  This is similar to the last post I made entitled Error Message but different enough that I thought it would be better to start a new thread. I'm trying to display a set of three crystal reports that are populated through a sql database. When I first started looking at them, I found that all the code behind was structured correctly which puzzled me a little bit. Upon further investigation I discovered that within the .rpt file, the Database was p ...Show All
