• SQL Server Parametric

  Hello, I'm using SQL 2005 and reporting services. I have several parameters, the report show two parameters in the same line and I would like to present three parameters in the same line. how can I do that This is not natively supported. The closest you can get is to write your own parameter frontend application and then e.g. use the RS report viewer controls to send the parameters to the report server and execute the report in "remote" mode. Other options include to send the parameters via URL-access from your custom frontend application. -- Robert ...Show All

• Visual C++ .Net Framework

  Hi, I have an application which I did not originally create.  I develop it using Visual Studio 2003 - Visual C++.net.  When I click on the configuration manager for my solution I can see that this platform, for said application is "Win32".  I didnt think this was the case since my work (code) is developed compiled and run correctly using visual studio.net. Then i created a completely new project, visual c++ and chose the option "Windows Forms Application".  Once this had set itself up I checked the configuration manager and it also told me "Win 32".  Then I added a new project but this time in C# call ...Show All

• SQL Server Installation Stalls at "Detecting Installed IIS"

  I try to install but once it gets to Installation Status window it freezes at Detecting Installed IIS. What do I do to get past this wonderful step And who tested this installation process Better yet, who let it be releases with so many bugs Thank youl. I finally had success. Seems like turning it off (Symantec Antivirus) was not a guarantee for success -- I did turn it off before with no success; uninstalling all might have helped too where I then installed it fresh. ...Show All

• .NET Development Outgoing IP?

  Hi, I have a .NET client that has a TCP/IP socket connection to a remote server. This is done from a server which has several IP addresses assigned and configured at the network card. So, now I was wondering how I could direct the outgoing request through a specific IP of those assigned to the server. Assume, server has IP's 1.1.1.1/10 - I'd like the outgoing request to be sent with IP 1.1.1.8. Is there a way to do that Thanks, Tom To expand on what Durga is saying: // create a socket Socket s = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp); // all traffic wil ...Show All

• SQL Server How to UPDATE ID in SQL

  Okay, I was able to delete some records from my db, however, I notice that I have some gaps in the record (ID) field such as  1, 2, 3, 5, 6,9... the missing numbers are the deleted records. How do I update these records to be in numeric sequence such as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7   I keep getting an error that ID is not updateable (set on Auto).  How do I change it Thanks. I'm going to use two forms.... one with... and the other with the table naviagation control.  It works.   I'm not too concerned with rec# anymore... it was also to help nav records using SQL instead of using the na ...Show All

• Visual C# Best practice

  Ok, I have a question on what would be the best practice for a translator... If you have 5 languages: English, Chinese, German, French, and Swedish and you have different methods for converting each one into each other what would bet he best practice Heres an example: If you selected Chinese as the starting Language and English as the Ending Language it'll return "zh-CN%7Cen" as the code needed to post. I'm thinking i'll create an enum to store all the languages and then create a struct that takes the enum twice, once for starting and once for ending, and then a value. so i'll have something like struct LanguagePairs { Lang lan ...Show All

• .NET Development Dual Field Primary Key

  Using the VS2005 IDE I created a SQL Database with a single table.  The table has a primary key made up from two fields neither of which is autoincrementing.  Both fields are int's.  The first is named 'Cert' and the second is named 'QtrRef'.  SQL did not complain when I did this.  I then used the Dataset Wizard to create a dataset.  Everything seemed to work fine except that the autogenerated FIND method in the dataset is called 'FindCert' and only takes a single arguement.  I looked through the autogenerated dataset code and can find no evidence that the wizard picked up any reference to the second p ...Show All

• .NET Development internallyprotected access modifier? (not internal protected!)

  Hi forum! I'm currently developing a library type project with a bunch of internal types responsible for internal logic. My problem: i can't use these types in protected methods of  public library types! The compiler quits with an "inconsistent access modifier" error. So my question is, are there any plans to add an "internalprotected" access modifier (i.e. protected -- but only internally) to future c# specs The only solution i can come up with is to make the mentioned protected members internal accessible, but this would break my class design. Example: public class PublicType {     protected void ProcessData(Inter ...Show All
