• SQL Server Access 2003 and SQL Express

  Is there a way to integrate Access 2003 as the Front End for SQL Express I tried, but I can't make a new Access project because I need to specify a login/pass and I have no idea what those are set to, or if I need to make an account somehow. As you can see, I am totally new to SQL and any help would be appreciated. Thank You, James The default login/password would probably be sa, with an empty password. That's generally what SQL Server uses before it's changed by the end user. ...Show All

• SQL Server Functions not documented??

  if you look at Chris Hays's Blog http://blogs.msdn.com/chrishays/archive/2004/07/23/193292.aspx we find functions which were not documented in Reporting Services. eg. =Ceiling(RowNumber(Nothing)/3) now where do i go to find more goodies like that microsoft has given us alot of good features with reporting services. if only we know how to use them... All of the aggregate functions are documented in the included docs ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159269(en-US,SQL.90).aspx ). Other functions are part of the .NET Framework.

• Visual Basic e.Graphics.FillElipse

  Good evening folks: As you probably know, I'm sort of a tinkerer-student developer, and I was working on creating a project where, if you select a radio button, the corresponding text box's background color will change to either red, yellow or green. Therefore, I was wondering if it was possible to change the shape of a textbox from rectangular to circular. Is it possible Thank you. IGFET909 *grin* I don't see the correlation between the textbox color and the shape, but I doubt it is possible, I'd say almost certainly not. However, even if it was circular, you'd want the text to be entered in a line in the middle, right So yo ...Show All

• Visual Basic Add / Remove buttons to manipulate data in DataGridView

  I am trying to implement two buttons to add/remove rows in a data binding DGV. I need them because the data are gathered in another control instead of updated directly on the DGV. In the button, I add/remove row directly in the data table. The problem is that if I remove some existing rows and add some new rows, data consistency error reported when using table adpater to update the data back to database. Any solution ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Compiling your code - Express vs. VS2005

  Hopefully someone can shed some light on a bit of confusion.  The Express Edition FAQ says that you cannot compile a completed .NET website into .dll(s) (either to a single DLL like .NET 1.1 or multiple "per page" DLLs as I've seen in 2.0.)  However while recently attending a MSDN course the instructor said that both the Web Express and full VS2005 will allow for compiling the code upon deployment. Which is right   Is compiling upong deployment (so I don't have to share my code) a feature that currently exists in Express   Or will it appear in the final version Thanks for your assistance.

• .NET Development Need help getting the information of the task manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del)

  Hi, im trying to find out some information about a particular project idea i have, is there a way of detecting what the user of a computer is doing i.e. are they using MS Word etc.. and i want to also see if they are idle, by Ctrl+Alt+Del i can see a process called the system idle process, and thus i presume that there is a app/process/coding that detects this. I am sure people here will think that i am some cracker or something like that but im not, im actually trying to develop a system of seeing what each user is doing on their desktop, and having a system administrator view this to see if people are accessing malicious software ...Show All

• Windows Forms The v2 DatePicker doesn't support null databinding (bug?)

  The following code (which is a simple test windows form - visual studio team 2005 system beta 3 refresh) demonstrates what I believe is a bug in the DatePicker control. When a datepicker is bound to a binding source set to an object, properties of type DateTime that are null are not updated when the user (at runtime) changes the date. This is a real pain; and, frankly, makes the date picker useless to bind to database-derived datatables which could contain dbnull. Thank you in advance for your help. (also: why is it called datetime picker when it does not pick the time ) Correct. The DateTime picker does not support null ...Show All

• .NET Development XML deserialization problems with invalid hex characters

  Hello, In the document at [1], I am experiencing the problem described under the heading "Deserializing Invalid XML". I am receiving XML documents that contain escaped characters that are technically invalid in the XML spec. I am using WSE 2.0 Service Pack 3, so I have no control over deserialization myself (or at least not without writing a input filter of some kind). I do have control over which strings are serialized (I also write the client). Does anyone know of a solution to this problem Thanks. Mark, Thanks for your answer. Number 1 would indeed be the solution to go with. However, it's *my* WSE 2.0 cl ...Show All
