• Visual Basic missing smart tag actions

  Hi there, I tried to convert a control by using the smart tag action as descriebed in the book "Introducing Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 for Developers, chap. 4", but there is neither such action in my ide nor any other easy way to convert the control. The same behaviour occurs when I try to use the master details functionality in the smart tags for the dataconnector - no such action is present. I'm using W2K SP4, the german version of vb2005 and an access database. Is there any solution or workaround Regards, Georg Walter Reinthaler (Vienna/Austria) Hi Georg, I believe the smart ...Show All

• SQL Server sql statement from webform with dynamic join, how?

  In my application the user can enter form textfields and check checkboxes to dynamically generate the SQL SELECT. Most searched values com from one table but some come from other tables with a 1:n relation. So, if needed INNER JOIN them by writing the FROM statement in a variable, that I use in the query. Like this: " INNER JOIN tCmsElementCustomProdspecArtikelZusatzStoff ON tCmsElementCustomProdspecArtikel.artikel_ID = tCmsElementCustomProdspecArtikelZusatzStoff.art_zus_artikelid " This works fine for some cases but in some cases I need to select all articles with "art_zus_artikelid = id1 AND art_zus_artikelid = id2" and for both "art_zus_v ...Show All

• Windows Forms windows form stops responding during non-infinite loop

  Hi,I have a windows form that sends out a monthly opt in newsletter email to all of our community members. The problem is that the list is large, and every time I run the program it sits there appearing to be frozen. I have to watch the program under task manager and watch its resources to see if its running, and checking the queue mail folder for emails. This obviously is not a great way to run the program.In my code I loop thru a sqldatareader with 10's of thousands of records, and when its done I update the windows form with the counts of emails sent etc. How can I stop this form from not responding Is there something I can put in the l ...Show All

• Visual Studio comparing large Projects

  I am trying to find out ways to compare large VSS projects between production and maintenence. there are atleast 15 - 20 projects and typical sizes of these projects vary from 1 - 15 GB. I was wondering whether writing a batch script might be the best way to do this. I read about the command line options in VSS and it seems a good option. Has any one written a batch script to do something like this I am also wondering if this would work on some of the large databases, what kind of reports would i get if i use the command line etc. Any suggestions are welcome Thanks Suresh I have been able to partly complete this, however ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Borland Out, where to go from here?

  I've found the best way to get a straight answer, or some honest advice is to simply ask another developer. I'm a small ISV designing software on multiple platforms. In the past years, I've been studiously avoiding Microsoft development tools for a variety of reasons - mostly cost and preference. I used Borland for a decade, and it performed well most of the time. Now that Borland is no longer in the developer business, I have to have an eye for future development tools on the Windows platform. Microsoft seems to be the last one standing, outside of OSS software like Eclipse. What is the best way to approach this as far as Microsoft is conce ...Show All
