• .NET Development Is there not one single example like this in the WORLD?

  Hi all, Examples are usually the best way to learn. So what I don't understand is why there isn't an example of what I need anywhere in the world! Or is there What I need is this: A *complete* (end-to-end) example of a database driven Windows application. It can not be based on datasets as they are slow and not built for object oriented programming, nor are they suitable for large applications. I need an OR mapper tool to help out. The example don't have to be complicated, I'd be happy with a typical order, order details form with a customer form. Here's a detailed list of what I need: -Windows Forms application in Visual Studio 2005 - ...Show All

• SQL Server There is a way to use an arbitrary parameter in OLAP Report (not associated with a dimension)?

  I'm using a lot of parametrized reports. But yesterday I want to make a report which takes a boolean parameter to do something like this: WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ShowU$SMeasure] AS ''+@show+'' MEMBER [Measures].[ShowingData] AS 'IIF([Measures].[ShowU$SMeasure], [Measures].[Amount], [Measures].[Tons])' ... ... ... If I pass true then show U$S else Tons. But the report want to associate a parameter with a dimension. Finnaly I solved this from the report, adding 2 calculated fields. But this runs slower than the first thought. Another thing I couldn't do was to put a parameter in a datetime picker and format the date to use it ina ...Show All

• Visual Basic vb 2005 command window question while debugging

  seems that in vb 2003, if you had a break point and were using a command window to check on some values, that it used intellisence.. so you didn't have to type everything in.  in vb 2005.. either it doesn't have the intel or i don't have it turned on.  Anyone know how to turn it on.. not the command window. but the intel sense thanks shannon Hello, It should still be there; in my immediate window it pops up intellisense by default; I didn't change any settings. ...Show All

• Visual J# method to cast to/from ubyte[]/byte[]

  Hi; I know I can copy a byte array to a ubyte array using System.Buffer.BlockCopy. But since the actual data is identical in both arrays, and I have some large arrays, is there a way to just case a byte[] to a ubyte[] thanks - dave Hi Dave, It seems that is the only way to do that. It needs to be noted that Java as such do not support unsigned types so expecting anything from the compiler directly wont be possible. Will take a look at it further and let u know if i find anything more on this. Thanks, Varun ...Show All
