• Visual Studio Displaying Mutiple Reports

  Hi, I would like a sample of the coding required to display mutiple reports on one form. I have created four reports, have one form with the crystal reports viewer on it. The main report is linked to it, but I do not want to create a form and CRviewer for each report. Please show we the code needed to release a report and attach another. Most are using the same database... Just do CRviewer.ReportSource=<<The report name (including full path/ Object) you want to show>> That all it. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Mixing ml64.exe and Win32 C++: is it possible?

  I am currently running WinXP Pro on a dual AMD Opteron system. The development project I'm working on is a high-performance CAD/graphics program. The project is mostly Win32 C/C++, but we also have many specialized performance-critical subroutines hand written in assembler. These assembler files are part of the Visual C++ project and each has a custom build-step that uses ml.exe to compile. We would like to take advantage of the 64-bit registers in our hand-coded assembler routines. The use of the 64-bit registers would only be for mathematical computation, e.g., we don't need the full support of a 64-bit OS with 64-bit memory addressing. So ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Web Deployment Project -> Team Build

  Hi, We are having issues converting Web Deployment Project file as team build type. 1. We created a W.D.P file and successfully built using this in local machine. 2.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Is The OOP Microsoft.VisualBasic.IIf Equivalent To the Procedural If Then?

This Particular Microsoft.VisualBasic.IIf Is extremely important to me.... If Microsoft.VisualBasic.IIf is Equivalent to the Procedural "Classic" If then.... If it is Equivalent I can Transist to Pure OOP by using Descision Tables, Boolean Algebra and other CS techniques First, iif and If/Then have nothing to do with OO. Iif is a conditional assignment function . .. necessary because VB lacks a conditional assignment operator. if / then is typical ...Show All
