• Visual Studio Express Editions Stop Row Deleting

  I have a DataGridView with some rows displayed and would like to check if there is any related data before deleting the row. I have a foreign key constraint but would like to popup a nice message when the user tries to delete the row rather than wait until they click on save and have the ugly, default error message. My first thought were to put some code in the RowDeleting routine. I have tried putting in a popup message along with e.row.c ...Show All

• Visual Studio FireFox Compatiblity

  We need to create reports that can be displayed in a multitude of browsers. We created our first report with ReportViewer and it looked great in IE, horrible in Firefox. I've seen some work arounds listed in this forum for shrinking report issues etc. I was wondering if we should continue down the ReportViewer path or just switch over to Active Reports or another 3rd party product. We have similar problems with using ClickOnce in Windows forms, ...Show All

  Is there aan easy way to create these dimensions in sql 2005 Thanks Luis, One way to achieve this is to use a Script component to create the source rows. It runs exceedingly fast (even on my workstation) and 10 years worth of calendar dates is less than 4000 rows, for the time dimension, given that the granularity is minute, 84000 rows or so was also quick to generate.
