• Visual C# C# Equivalent of SqlDataReader.Item

  I'm new to C#, moving over from VB... Is there an equivalent to VB's SqlDataReader.Item   Here's what I'm trying to do: SqlCommand cmdSelectedRecord = new SqlCommand (SQLStmt,conn); SqlDataReader SelectedRecord = cmdSelectedRecord.ExecuteReader(); txtLastName.Text = SelectedRecord.Item("lname"); txtFirstName.Text = SelectedRecord.Item("fname"); SelectedRecord.Close(); Obviously I have defined my SQLStmt and conn as the connection.  "lname" and "fname" are tables in the database that I am querying.  The build error I get is: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader' does not contain a definition for 'Item'.

• Visual Studio Team System Where do Standards docs come in?

  Hi, I'm fairly new to MSF so pls forgive me if this question sounds dumb: Where do Standards docs come in for the MSF agile process Like "Coding Standards", "Naming Conventions" etc. I don't see mention of these anywhere.. Thanks, JGP In some cases, we link to specific guidance provided by the patterns & practices group. Items such as coding standards and naming conventions are great to have, and a team should agree to follow one, but MSF does not prescribe any particular ones itself. You can add such team documents to the document library on the team project portal site. Also, you could custom ...Show All

• SQL Server Causing a TableColumn/Control to fill remaining space

  Hello, I'm using a lot of SQL 2005 Reports in a WinForm application. The WinForm window can be resized, and so I want to adjust the report at runtime so that particular table columns (or other controls) will resize to fill the available space. The only way that I can see at the moment to do this is to add an expression for the width, and calculate the space available. The problem is, I don't see a way to set the width of a control to an expression, and this calculation will change when the report is changed, making it a hassle to keep track of. Is there any way to get a report element to expand right until it fills the fo ...Show All

• SQL Server Random access in a result set

  I use an SQL task to produce a result set which I store in a package variable. It works fine to access the result set in a script task by first casting it to a ADODB.Recordset, and then enumerating it and accessing the rows in the given order. But is there a simple and clean way to randomly access the result set  In other words to repeatedly select a random row from it One thought I had was to convert the result set to some sort of array which can be randomly indexed. But I didn't find out how... I'm not interested in creating an array by looping through the whole result set and inserting the row ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Todd @ Devdays in Amsterdam question (about bots on MSN)

  Hi Todd, On the devdays confernce today in Amsterdam you mentioned that to make a bot on MSN you could either go through the Partners, or you could also talk directly through MSN (but have some limitations then) and parse the send strings yourself. Now browsing the forums and the messages about the Bots I see no where mentioned that you can also do it yourself WITHOUT using these partner platforms. Could you clarify how and where I could download an SDK to talk directly to MSN myself and setup a bot Thanks in advance, Reinier v Vliet There is no SDK to talk directly to Messenger.
