• Windows Forms Looking for a non-MDI strategy

  Are there any strategies for developing a .Net application where some of the user interfaces are broken into smaller peices and can be re-joined at runtime The purpose of this is so multiple developers can each work on a peice or section of the user interface without having to wait for someone else to finish. One idea we have is to use a tab control with multiple pages, but not sure about how to dynamically insert those pages into the tab control at runtime. Any ideas MDI is out of the question. Our usability testing has shown users really hate to "drill down" in MDI applications. What, you d ...Show All

• SQL Server Time interval in Data Source View

  I am trying to rebuild the reports I made with BusinessObjects with Microsoft Reporting Services. In my Universe I made joins between my time dimension and fact tables based on two dates, BEGINDATE and ENDDATE. E.g.: dim_time.DATE BETWEEN fct_sales.BEGINDATE  AND nvl(fct_sales.ENDDATE,'01-01-2999') But when I make joins in the Data Source view I can only make joins which says BEGINDATE = DATE in my time dimension. E.g.: dim_time.DATE = fct_sales_.BEGINDATE Is there no way to make the join like the join I made in BusinessObjects Maybe I should ask it differently: Is it poss ...Show All

• .NET Development xsdobjectgen and multiple XSD files

  Hi all I am working with some vendor provided XSD files, and using xsdobjectgen to generate classes to deserialize them. I started with one document type, an EDI 850 Purchase order. It created a very useful class that I employed. Now, I need to work with another document type altogether. When I generate this document, it creates another public class that conflicts with the first class completely. These two documents are unrelated, and somewhat fragmented so I don't want to plop them both in the same XSD. Does anyone know how this is best accomplished Thanks! -DMA Solved by generating into differe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Visio 2005 unable to syncronize code changes

  Hi all, i'm not sure if i'm on the right forum :) If not, please let me know I have a question. I've been wainting for Visio 2005 to help me modeling code. Well, it turns out that Visio 2005 can model code, you can define almost everything, and projects are generated with out much 'trash'. In the end we have a clean solution to work with. Ok, but what if I want to update the model in visio using the code that i've produced or, what if I want to update the code with the latest changes in the model, WITHOUT loosing the code changes Why can't I see in the Visio code editor the code I produced in VS (with or without intellisense ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS.NET 2005 / CR Error

  I created a very simple .rpt and accompanying .aspx, moved both files to my remote iis 6 server w/ .net 2.0, and attempted to run the report.

• .NET Development How to get system specs (processor, memory etc...) in C#?

  Hello, I would like to know how to find the specs of the current running system such as the memory amount and processor speed in C# Mateusz I don't know if this will help, but it may be a place to start.

• SQL Server Passing parameter to a dts

  I don't understand how to pass a parameter to a dts package from another. In SQL 2000 you can map a variable with a variable of the package you will call. How can I do this For example in the current package execution (package1) I have a variable1 = 5 and when some step complete I call package2 with the value of variable1 in variable2 of package2. I need help with this. Thanks in advance. Ah, no, not during design time. But, during execution time, yes. Tasks that attempt to validate with a reference to the variable will fail of course because they have not been given the parent's collection of variable ...Show All
