• SQL Server Is this possible? How

  hello guys, I want to create a report using a bar chart data region from a cube. The cube contains Date and Time dimentions. Here is my question: The catagory field (x-axis) value of the bar chart is dependent on the paramaters value(i.e.StartDate and EndDate). For instance if the difference between StartDate and EndDate is greater than 1 year, the x-axis value for the bar chart should come from the Date dimention and display the year value. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. fill indexbuffer with vertex-adjacencies

  I've created a mesh using the face-centres of another mesh. This works fine, but i don't know how to fill the new indexbuffer to render the new mesh (trianglelist) correctly. I think the new indices could be computed with the adjacency-information of the old mesh, because the new vertices have the same adjacencies as the old triangles and that should be enough to define the trianlges. I already tried something like this... f ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Namespaces

  Could some one point me to a tutorial on how and more importantly when to use a namespace. My background is VB 6 so I am not familar with the concept.

• .NET Development Remoting-v-webservices - the prescriptive guidance is nuts ?

  Web-services excel for cross-platform/cross-language communication. However, what about communication for the internal tiers of an app, where it is .NET on both sides It's the endless debate of remoting-v-webservices. Remoting - faster performance and richer type system, versus the lower-performance, lowest common denominator of web-services. The message that I perceive from MS is "use web-services for everything - remoting is only for in- ...Show All

• Visual C# Windows-Service StartUP

  Hi folks, it is possible to change the Startup Option of a windows service for example from automatic to manuell like in the managment console I don't think there is a standard fuction for that in the .net framework, but you can always use interop to access a service. You need to call the following Win32Api methods (use dllimport): 1. OpenScManager 2. OpenService 3. ChangeServiceConfig 4. CloseServiceHandle (for the service ...Show All

• SQL Server Having a drilldown report "go back" to original report

  Hi, I have a main/summary report which returns a list of records.  Each record on this main report contains a link to a detailed report for more information on that particular record.  That all works just fine.  But on my detailed report, I want to provide a button to allow the user to easily "go back" to the original report.

  I don't know if this is the right place to post this, since it is a tooling question, but I am pulling back rows in a native data grid from SQL Server - I don't see an option where I can define how many rows to return (or limit rather). It looks like it is fetching it in blocks, which is good - -but I just want to return the first 100 rows let's say -- can I do this One way would be to add "TOP N" to your SQL: ...Show All
