• .NET Development Plural of word

  Hello Friends, I just want to know how to find plural of a word in C# I have one textbox where user will enter his word i.e Text. Then how to find the plural of that word. You need to find the rules of pluralization for the language of interest and write them into your code.   For example, in English, you need to at least implement the rules to make these words plural: Punt Radius Thief Mass (the word without the 'M' becomes three assterisks in this forum) Chevy Datum   This looks like a homework problem, naked running notwithstanding, eh ...Show All

• Smart Device Development WM5 .NET 2.0?

• SQL Server calculated sum

  I have a dataset that returns a measure and a bunch of dimensions. What I need to be able to do is calculate a sum of this measure based on one dimension. ie.. Sum(measure) where dimension = "Top". Any ideas on how to accomplish this. Not sure if this solution will work for you, but you can add a Calculated Field to the Data Set, say: "FilteredQty", defined as (assuming Quantity is an integer): CInt(iif(Fields!Country.Value = "USA", Fields!Quantity.Value, 0)) Then in your report you can use this expression: Sum(Fields!FilteredQty.Value), wich should return 4 rather than 10 To make it dynamic, "USA" can be re ...Show All

• SQL Server Storing Null values

  I am creating a UDT which is not a Native but UserDefined Format. I use the IBinarySerialize and should implement Read en Write methods. When i have a null value should i always write some null flag to the database storage Or is there another way to deal with null values like writing nothing Hope somebody can give me some more details about this. I don't really understand how reading/writing is working. Because when i store a UDT with a null value in the database i cannot do a normal select on it. I get an error like: Error message is: Data is Null. This method or property cannot be called on Null values. When i use the .ToString() after t ...Show All

But when we try to access the table, it says it's an invalid object name. I've checked sysobjects, and the objetc is there.
