• SQL Server Subreport causing printing issues

  I have a table in my main report with multiple rows and in the last row I have a subreport. (So basically for each record in the main report this sub-report is run). Now the problem happens if the length of the sub-report is big. In those cases it seems RS is keeping the sub-report portion together. So what I have is a couple of lines printing on the first page (from the main report) and the rest of the page is empty. The sub-report then gets printed from the second page. This looks horrible and is causing the report to grow way too much in size. I have tried resetting the KeepTogether properties in a bunch of different places but to n ...Show All

• Windows Forms Addding multiple words together

  In Excel, I was wondering if there was a way to take a list of words about 7 and add , LLC to each with a click of a button. I have tried the replace command and thats not what I am looking for, it doesn't work. I have also tried to use the paste special and use the add control and that doesn't work either. So could someone please help me. Here is an example Tompson Diamondback Sagewood And what I was wondering is, is there a way to take all those words and at the same time add , LLC to the end so they look like this Thompson, LLC Diamondback, LLC Sagewood, LLC With out replacing each one, one line at a time.

• Windows Forms VB.NET vs AS/400

  Many of my programs make repeated calls to our “elderly” AS/400 to get data based on account numbers, then process that data and write back to the AS/400 before moving on to the next account number.  Using the .NET ODBC classes has worked fine, but we’ve noticed that it runs frustratingly slow. I’m exploring using the cwbx.dll to try to speed up&n ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSS diff

  I need to compare 2 VSS6.0 projects using a script. The diff command in VSS6.0 does not have the option to compare 2 projects. How do I do that I suspect you want to use the VSS command line (ss.exe) to compare 2 projects $/Project1 and $/Project2 in the database. The "ss.exe Diff" command for projects can only compare a project in the database with a folder on the local disk. So, you have 2 choices: - either use "ss.exe Get $/Project1" to get the content of the $/Project1 in a folder on local disk, then use "ss.exe Diff $/Project2" to compare the local folder with the second project (the Get pa ...Show All

• Visual C# Generics and interfaces

  Hi all - let me first say that I personally like generics.  That said, I have a question that is stumping me.  I'm sure there's a logical explanation, but I just can't seem to find it. I have an interface that returns another interface from a method: public interface IReturn { //... } public interface IInterface { IReturn Function(); } I know want to have generic interfaces, like this: public interface IReturn <T> : IReturn { //... } public interface IInterface <T> : IInterface {    new IReturn <T> Function(); } The problem comes when I try to implement a clas ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How can I make ....?

  Well, The main is that I want to make the program alert me what key was press when that key is pressed. How can I make that Or If there is a good tutorial for starting programming in C# Thanks If you mean a key press across the entire system, then you need to write a system wide hook. Not sure if you can do this in C#, you can in C++. If you mean within your app, when your window has the focus, if you create a WinForms app, and then in the designer look at the properties window, there's a lightning flash icon you can click, then you get a list of events you can be notified of in your program. The KeyPress event is called when ...Show All

• SQL Server DTS load to multiple tables

  I have SQL Server 2003 Standard and am attempting to use DTS for a data load/transformation and I’m not sure if I am using the right tool for the job. I have a somewhat denormalized Access database that has to be loaded into a normalized SQL Server database. Values from one row in any of the source tables generally need to be separated and inserted into several destination (SQL Server) tables. There are no unique ids in the source data since it is coming from a 3 rd party and the tables are not related to others. I’ve created a DTS Package and have the beginnings of several Transform Data Tasks. Each destination table has an Identity i ...Show All

  Hi, my application is using some integers which is too big for int32 and even int64, can anybody tell me how to create infinite integer variable that can accept very large numbers Thanks, I guess you could write a class which allocates as much memory as possible, making it 'infinite' in the sense that it would continue to grow as the required value increases. ...Show All
