• Visual Studio Express Editions How to turn off redrawing?

  Hi! I would like to turn of redrawing of richtextbox while procesing text inside it.

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Access Form "INSERT INTO" not working

  Let me preface this by first of all saying I haven't done much VB in several years. However, the current project I'm working on at work I'm having to create an application in Access using VBA. It's just a prototype so that management can see that the process will work, but I'm having trouble with one section. Essentially I have a form with one text box on it that when the user clicks the button it will add whatever the user typed in along with a time and date stamp into the Access database. The current code I've just been testing with is: CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO Status ('empid', 'monitor_id') VALUES ('111111', 'test');" ...Show All

• SQL Server How to disable Export

  Hello, I am making a web application and I will show reports with the reportviewer, however the user can manage some parameters of the applicacion, the administrator can decide if he wants to allow the user to export or not export to PDF or XLS. Anyway, I want to enable or disable those options in the reportview dinamically! Is that possible I am going to take a guess based on 2 things you have said: "export to PDF or XLS". You don't mention other formats. "If I use Object o = info.GetValue(extension), then the object o is not null. " Is this an RDLC, not an RDL In which case what exactly is deco ...Show All

• SQL Server silent unpack of

  Hello, The need is to redistribute and install SQL Express in the silent mode. Looks like the current license does not allow to redistribute SQL Express in a way other than self-unpacking archive (we need sqlexpr_adv.exe). It seems that the way to do it is: 1. Unpack this archive in the silent mode to the default temp directory, without any dialogs popping up. 2. Proceed with the installation of the unpacked files in the silent mode. No prob with 2), but we don’t really know how to deal with 1). Is there any way to get a full list of command-line parameters for sqlexpr_adv.exe, including the parameter for the silent unpack ...Show All
