• SQL Server Changing database connect to dynamic then the report fails.

  Hi all.  I've got a report in RS2005 where I am trying to be able to change the database it runs against based on a parameter.  I started by making the report and having this as my connect string in the dataset: ="data source=MyServer; initial catalog=DataYear2005" I was able to connect and preview the report with no problems.  I checked the forum and found out that to make it dynamic, I should be able to just add a parameter to the above definition.  I set up the parameter as a string with a default value of 2005 and then changed the connect string to be: ="data source=MyServer; initial catalog=DataYear"+Trim(Pa ...Show All

• .NET Development How to maintain the states of processes started by a web service?

  Hi, there, I already have one component, A.exe. I need to start and stop A.exe through web service. I am creating a C# project to do this job: 1. when a START request coming,  start A.exe from C# 2. when a STOP request coming, stop A.exe from C#  The problem is, there are different requests from different users. How can I manage the states of each user, so that User1 won't stop User2's running of A.exe Should I maintain a table by myself Or there've already been some mechanism inside ASP.NET and C# which can maintain the states Thank you very much and best wishes, Jackie Dear ...Show All

• SQL Server will SQL and windows authetication applied during setup has other implications?

  I choose SQL and windows authetication during SQL Express 2005 install. Will this has any impact on the connection string in my Visual Studio 2005 environment The setup during installation only predefines what you *can* use. If you chosse mixed authentication, like you stated above, this should be no problem, you can use WIndows authentication which would be (...)Integrated Authentication=true(...) or SQL Server Authentication (...)UserId=SomeUser;Password=SomePassword(...)

• Windows Forms Annoying GDI+ Window

  I've encountered an odd problem that seems to have started when I ported my C# application from VS2003 to VS2005. The application is intended to run as a RunOnce program, and has a simple GUI with two buttons and two textboxes. The problem I'm having is that although one of the textboxes is set to have focus when the program starts, there is an annoying GDI+Window that seems to have focus instead. I don't actually see the window but if I alt-tab it shows up in the application list. If I hit alt-tab once, the intended textbox has the focus and the GDI window disappears (it no longer shows up with alt-tab). If the program runs standalone it wo ...Show All

• .NET Development boolean sorting

  I'm trying to sort on a boolean column in a dataview sort. Like I want all the false rows to be sorted before the true rows. Is this possible How would I go about doing it I map the datatable to a datagridview, but I think that doesn't matter. Is that type of sort possible One work around is I could use a string field in the datatable and do X or nothing to signify true/false. I'd much rather use a boolean though. This doesn't seem to be working (done is a boolean field in an xml typed dataset, true always seems to come first no matter what).
