• Software Development for Windows Vista Windows Vista Beta 2..glass problems

  hello folks, I was wondering if you guys were experiencing a problem similar to mine. I cannot seem to get the glass effect working on beta 2. I have the nvidia Geforce Go FX5200 video card in my laptop. I've tried every single driver including the new forceware as well as the laptop2video tuned drivers, but neither of them work. I can't seem to pin point the problem. I was able to get the glass effect on the previous Vista builds with the LDDM (nvidia alpha drivers) but nothing seems to work on beta 2.

• SQL Server User Hierarchies and key

  In looking over the "Project Real" project, I see there are many User Hierarchies and not all of them end with the dimension key. Has anyone come across information regarding why they did this or something explaining when it is important to end with the key or not. Given your scenario, you should create at least two (and possibly three, depending on what you mean by "Bill format" and "Billed operation") dimensions: Customer - Customer (key) - Title - Job - State - City Bill - Bill format - Billed operation - Bill (key) .. and there is no problem in creating two user defined hierarchies from the a ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to get a string between 2 arguments.

  im searching a textbox for a string using 2 arguments. i will be getting more then one of each. the arguments are [ and ]. for example: the quick brown [fox] jumps over the lazy [dog]. i want to be able to get [fox] and [dog] using the arguments. i do not want to use arrays because it will be to slow. so my output will be [fox] and then it will be [dog]. i searched the net for something like this but nothing helped. thanks. Maybe I'm misunderstanding this; but I think that the only way some sort of array could be avoided would be if you could store the values you want outside of the textbox as they are entered. ...Show All
