• SQL Server Full RecordSet not Received from SQL Server ??

  My IT dept and I are completely stumped on this problem, and if there is a better forum to post this question to, please let me know. Thanks! I have an ASP web-site connecting to an Access db, and everything works fine. I ported the Access db to SQL Server 2005 Express and on only 1 page, when I request a recordset, I do not get all the fields returned. Some of the fields are "blank" (not NULL). When I test for NULL (Not IsNull), the answer is True, but the field does not contain the numeric value that I can see in the SQL db. The page is identicle from the Access based site to the SQL Server based site, so I'm really conf ...Show All

• SQL Server Need better workaround for hidden prompt without read-only behavior

  I have many reports that have a parameter in them which I want to default to NULL and not show (plus other parameters I do want to show). If I leave the prompt field empty, I get the read-only error. The workaround has been to have the prompt field contain a single space, which works well as far as producing the behavior I want. However, every time you open the report in the designer, it automatically removes the space. What is a better solution You would need to write in your iinstallation script that published the report to clear out the prompt string. The call is SetRepo ...Show All

• Visual C++ error occur when develop in Visual C++ 6 and compile in Visual Studio 2005

  The code wrote in VC++ 6 (no error when compile) but now I have to move them to the Visual Studio 2005 version and try to compile it again it give me the error ==> fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'LIBC.lib'. Please help I'm still so new with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. Are they so much differences.

If you want your code to work in VC6 AND Vc2005 and call the new methods, you need to create a class that wraps this. If you just want to upgrade, you sho ...Show All

• Windows Forms Databinding vs. Model-View-Controller (MVC)

  Hello all, I'm trying to get to grips with the finer points of Model View Controller. I (think I) understand the theory behind it, but when it comes to the dirty work I find myself challenged. I have a lot of experience with databinding, both in windows forms and web forms. I keep having the feeling that Databinding and MVC are sort of mutually exclusive. My reasoning behind this is thus: one of the points of MVC is that all changes to the model are made by the controller rather than the view. Databinding on the other hand (at least in Windows Forms) is a two-way binding, where changes in the datasource are reflected in the view (good for MV ...Show All

• .NET Development .Net 2.0 release version breaks VS 2005b2?

  I have just upgraded my .Net frameworks to 2.0 release version, and in the process, I had to uninstall the previous beta version and also some other stuff like the compact framework. Now, Visual Studio beta2 is not launching anymore. Is this a known issue With kind regards. Two things. One, ClickOnce docs tell you all about how it downloads the most recent version of the .net framework. Yea it feels like *** when you run into that problem but remember, you are beta testing. You are suppost to be telling them bugs and helping with the overall release... which brings me to the next thing. They can, and did (y ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Getting rendered graphics (quickly) from the card

  I had a thread about thins some days back, but for some reason I can not write into it now. I am faced with the task of rendering some graphics with directx and then copying that graphics into another card which generates a video signal. I need to feed it a new frame 25 times a second. The size is 720*576 The rendering does not have to be any faster that this. I have tried two methods of geting the pixels, and both are much too slow. One takes 500ms for a frame and the other 1800ms. I need a time below 40 for this to work. I post the two methods below. Perhaps someone can provide input as to what I need to do. I might add that ot ...Show All
