• Visual C++ How to get char from CString???

  Hi I need to have the a constant char array. But it must have contents from 2 different source: "C:\Help\" and mystring, where mystring must be a CString object having "TestFolder". Actually, I like to have a constant char array with "C:\Help\TestFolder" in it by combining the 2 sources. First, I decleared a char : char path[50]="C:\Help"; but I don't know how to get the content of mystring object as char. If I know the way, I would combine its content to existing and declared "path " char array. I presented my case well enough. Any idea please vcboy ...Show All

• SQL Server Page breaks after subreports

  I have a main report with several sub reports. The short sub reports in the details section of the main report display properly. I have 4 wide subreports in the footer of the 2nd grouping. These look great when I do the regular preview, but when I switch to page layout or export to pdf, these reports have a page break after each that has data. I have no page breaks set in the report at all. I've looked at the other threads on pagination and page breaks but nothing solved my current problem. The closest one is related to the widths, but I've verified my widths are within the limits. Any suggestions Thanks! Sarah Widths Main re ...Show All

• SQL Server Bug in expression evaluator using NULLIF and RAND()

  I think I might have found an (obscure) bug in the SQL Server expression evaluator. I'm trying to create some dummy data for testing purposes. I need to make an int column contain either 1, 2 or NULL. Here's my SQL: SELECT nullif ( floor ( rand ( checksum ( newid ())) * 3 ), 0 ) from anytable The rand(checksum(newid()) * 3 creates a random number between 0 and 2. I then use NULLIF to change zeros to nulls. The problem is that the result data contains 1, 2, NULL *and* 0 ! It looks like the NULLIF function evaluates its first argument twice - the first time round to compare against its second argument, the second to ret ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Small Team ISV / Micro-Isv

  While the templates out there seem very nice, they don't seem to be a good fit for a small/micro-isv senerio. They seem better suited for larger IT teams. One example are "rolls", they all list more rolls than employees in our company. :) With this in mind I think it best to just build my own template from the ground up. But before I go off an do this, I was wondering if anyone else has already build a workable template (or maybe is building one). Thanks for the response. I took another look at the Agile template and it just doesn't work for me. I know a lot of people love it, but it just fe ...Show All
