• SQL Server Matching relational records. Is it possible using Data Minig?

  Problem: I am working on a price comparison system which matches the best prices for a purchase (or an order) from exisiting purchase data. The order is stored in multiple tables including order details (stores major items purchased: e.g., PC) and order sub-details (optional items purchased with the major items: e.g., speakers, backup device, webcam etc.). There could be a number of major items in an order and each major item could have multiple related sub items. The other variables that affect the price include trade-ins if any, sales going on at the time of order, number of units etc. Now, for any new configuration (major items/relate ...Show All

• Visual Basic Determine Dll Types Programatically

  How can you programmatically determin if a dll is an assembly, win32 or activex Thanks for the feedback.  I double checked with our team and there is no API call in .NET that can give you this information.  You would need to write custom code to crack open the DLLs and see what they are.  I've passed this on to the product team for consideration in future versions.  If you have the time and interest, I suggest you file a suggestion on the product feedback center and reply with the ID number.  Thanks again.

• Visual Studio LogonInfo, linked parameters, different databases, subreports, Oh My

  I'm having a bear of a time getting reports with subreports to function correctly. I have followed all of the directions for logonInfo updates. The original report running under v9 only has to have the first four parameters filled, from there 9 other linked parameters are supposed to be filled. I started with code that we have in production (v9). This code ran fine when running against the server that the report was designed against. But when compiled in CR .net 2005 the linked parameter values kept prompting. Then I tried to hack my way through that problem and set all of the parameters (13) instead of just the 4 we normally send. Stil ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TF30177: Team Project Creation Failed - Unable to connect to the Windows Sharepoint Services

  I followed the latest installation guide TFSInstall-v60208.chm closely to create a 2 VM system. 1 VM for the DC/AD server TFSDCAD and 1 VM for the Apps tier TFSAPPS with SQL Server 2005, Sharepoint Services 2 and TFS I installed Sharepoint Services SP2 and did NOT configure it.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Desperate for help - getting my Add-In to run

  Hi; Ok, I have built two new test Add-Ins, one under VS 2003/.net 1.1 and one under VS 2005/.net 2.0. Both run fine on my system (the .net 1.1 requiring winword.exe.config set to 1.1). But my existing Add-In which I have built and tried to run under both VS 2003 and VS 2005 - nothing.

• SQL Server Encrypted columns and searches (partial and full)

  Hi, For those implementing encrypted columns, what is the recommended approach when allowing users to also do partial searches on encrypted data (ie email or creditcard info where the tables contain millions of rows). I understand one cannot have the encryption without performance impact, but the searches can be 10 to 20 times as long as when the info is stored in normal char(20) columns. Just looking as a way to try and lessen the impact. Thanks Prompted by your question, I just posted a new entry to my blog about how to enable searches on encrypted data.

• Visual C# SortedList<> best conversion

  Hi,  what I'm trying to do is cast SortedList<int, int[]> into SortedList<string, int[]>. I have the function of int-string conversion (eg. (int+1).ToString()), so I thought I would be able to use Array.ConvertAll<>, however I haven't managed to do that way on SortedList.  The second Idea was casting the list into SortedList<object, int[]> and manually go through the Keys collection, arr.Keys[ i ] = ((int)arr.Keys[ i ]+1).ToString(), however explicit cast to SortedList<object, int[]> is not allowed either. How to do that the simplest way The most st ...Show All
