• Visual Studio In memory Image to Crystal Report

  Hi, Need someone to verify if this is possible. I've done a search for images and Crystal Reports on the forum and found most question where related to reading the image from file or as a blob. Here's another angle. I have a data row in a dataset that contains the information I need to report on, generating a report for these data items should be fine. Based on the information in this data row an image is generated dynamically in-memory, so for example if datarow.item(0) = value then draw text n on image, if datarow.item(1) = another value draw text n1 on image, and so on. Eventually I end up with an image that I can draw to a fo ...Show All

• SQL Server Can the SQL Server 2005 be installed on Windows 2003 SP1?

  I recently attempted to install Windows 2003 SP1 on a machine on which someone had previously installed SQL Server 2005.  The build number for the SQL Server 2005 installation is 9.0.1116.  (BTW, which CTP is this build number ) The installation of the service pack seemed to go okay, but I soon got calls from users reporting that they could not log in to the instance.  I investigated, and discovered that the SQL Server service had not started.  We were unable to start the service, and had to remove SP1. This was the message I found in Event Viewer: Event Type: Error Event Source: SQLDUMPER Event Category:&n ...Show All

• SQL Server query builder

  hi friends  i've one question is it possible to use SMO to replicate "Query Designer" programmatically i want to write a query builder for end users and am wondering which objects in SMO i need to use to achieve what i want. any ideas on this one much appreciated.

You can use SMO to obtain a listing of tables, columns, and views and various properties (e.g. keys, datatypes, and etc). But this is no way in SMO to provide it some tables and conditional statements to generate a query. Peter  ...Show All

I think you can use Me.variables(x).getType to get the type of each variable. If that is not correct, you can define variables name sXXX for string, iXXX for integer, etc. Then parse the variable name, get the first character and determine the variable type. ...Show All

• Visual C++ COleDateTime::Format asserts for years < 1900 in VC 2005, bug?

  Does anybody know if this is a bug in the new VC 2005 libraries int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) {  COleDateTime datetime; // defaults to 1899  datetime.Format(L"%Y-%H"); // generates an ASSERT  return 0; } Code that uses this construction works fine in VC 2003. COleDateTime should be able to handle years from 100 to 9999.
