• SQL Server Conditional color in Matrix subtotal column

  I am using matrix in my report with calculated fields, for example I have 3 columns : Actual amount, Budget and Variance. Variance should be in Red if it is negative. I can set up an expression to change the color on the row level, but not in Subtotal ot Total row. I cannot use sum of Fields! values, because Budget amount is also calculated field based on the "Category" value which is columns group on the matrix. So anyway, if I am trying to reference ReportItems!Variance.Value in Subtotal Level, it gives me an error about group scope. How can I access the cells values in subtotal and total group levels If anybody knows any t ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Workflow hangs after CallExternalMethod on second instance

  Using WF Beta 2: I created a state machine workflow with several CallExternalMethod in its event handlers. When I start an instance and step through the states all works fine and the workflow completes. When I create a second instance of the workflow, it hangs on the first CallExternalMethod it encounters.

• .NET Development Improving startup time - force cold start

  Hi, I want to work on one of my application's start up performance and to effectively do that I want to force a cold start everytime I start it to find out what takes really long the first time it starts. So how can I force windows to dump all the prejitted code that it generates the first time the application starts so it has to prejit again after the first start. Also, I was wondering what other techniques people use to find out what takes really long the first time the application starts and where one should start looking for bottlenecks Thanks, Tom I think this article from msdn-magazine could be inter ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB 2005 Compiler Optimization Discussion

    There's been something percolating in the back of my mind. I come from a computing environment that preceeded windows and the Intel Architecture and instruction set. n comparison to the instruction set that i'm used to, the Intell instruction set looks like a house wreck which may or may not be important to the discussion at hand. Everyone knows that moderators agree on everything and that in moderator space we just stand in love circles and sway back and forth. So when I was discussing a compiler one day, I said I really admired a language which had a seven pass compiler. "Nonsense", was the response, "two will do it." Wi ...Show All
