• SQL Server Determine month from inside month row grouping

  Hi guys, i have a matrix that has two row groups, the first is month, the next is year. This is for year on year reporting, so the first two cells in each row are like this: April 2005 April 2006 April 2007 May 2005 May 2006 May 2007 etc in one of the columns of the matrix, i need to calculate a "per hour" figure, so i need to determine how many hours are in the month that groups this row. So what i need to know is: how can i tell what month this row is I don't care if the month is represented as text ("April") or an int (4), because the pseudo code for the expression will be: <monthly ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to stop flickering whilst building up complex form?

  I have an array with many hundreds of instances of a UserControl. I display these as a vertical list on a form and the user scrolls them with a VScroll. I achieve the scrolling by physically repositioning every user control, one after the other.  As you can imagine, this flickers like crazy! I tried delaying repainting until the repositioning is finished using&n ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't Design a Script

  I've placed a Script Task in a package, but the "Design Script..." button only closes the dialog and nothing happens. I've tried a Script Task in an empty package, too.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) drag/drop to reorder listbox items.

  I'd like to be able to use drag and drop to reorder items in a listbox, similar to how you rearrange items on the "All Programs Menu". I've looked at Marcelo's dragdropadorner, but I can't see how to apply that to this scenario where the source container is the same as the target container. Simon Let me rephrase I can't see how to identify the drop target, (ie the new item position) when the source container is the same as the target container ...Show All

• Windows Forms Custom controls Docs

  Hi, Where can I find docs about creating custom controls I mean, I need the reference that says how to interact with the object inspector and the form layout. Create that arrow on the right top corner of the control, and others... This is the basic and everything is derived from this. If you need something more advanced, just ask. about the icon, the best way is to create a 16X16 bitmap and give it the full namespace name: MyNameSpace.UserControl1.BMP. add it to the project, set its properties BuildAction to Embedded resource. on the user control header: [ ToolboxItem ( true ), ToolboxBitmap (MyNameSpace.User ...Show All

• Visual Basic ComboBox

  Hi folks, maybe you could help me a little. If I understand right the idea behind Object oriented is that I can use the same object in different forms. I've created and used the ComboBox in one form and now I want to use it in two more. Can I do this How thanks a billion, Chris Hi Randy, I agree, I am not for hard coding - what I provided was a simple example to convey the concept of having a utility method for loading a combo. In fact if the data was available in a Table then it maybe a good idea to bind a Dataset to the combo. Regards, Vikram ...Show All

• Visual Studio Interactive Sort and Printing

  In RC, I'm using the Interactive Sort feature. Printing doesn't respect my sorting options! Exporting to Excel seems to yield correct results, but printing doesn't. Anyone know if this will be fixed for release Printing a 1000 row report (this happens!) in random order is not an option. Not that I know of. I've resorted to handling sorting outside of the report and not use the Dynamic sorting feature. Dynamic sorting is kind of broken anyway, seeing as you can't sort on several columns (for when the values in the first sort column are equal). Well, you can, but only when the separate sorting column ...Show All
