• Windows Forms Making a window the background

  I have a main window that is maximised and I want it to be  the background, so that other open windows of the application remain in view even when the menu in the main window is used. There seems to be no BottomMost property for windows. If I set the TopMost property of the main window to false and set the same property of other windows to true, the main window will remain in the background. But Message Boxes and predefined Dialog Box ...Show All

• SQL Server Performance of multiple charts on a report (RenderStream issue with RS2000)

  I have a 'questionnaire analysis' report. The report consists of approx 25-30 questions and each question has a bar chart next to it to show the average score out of five for each multiple choice answer within a question. The report ends up containing 25-30 bar graphs all contained within a List control. The report performance is acceptable using URL access but is exceptionally slow (well over 1 minute) when using SOAP access. The perfor ...Show All

• SQL Server UTCDate and Date Types

  In Beta 1 & 2 there was a UTC date and a true Date only type supported. I guess these got pulled from the final bits. What would be the best way to create a true Ansi standard date/timestamp (ie. one that includes timezone). I'm thinking CLR probably. If so is there a way to get ahold of the old UTC date functionality (from Beta 2) so that if it is brought back at some later service pack we would be somewhat in compliance with it's features ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Transformations on AdornedElement are also applied to Adorner?!

  Hi, I’m using Adorners on shapes and other controls. I’ve noticed that the Adorner is scaled, when the AdornedElement contains a transformation with a scale transform. But I don't want the Thumbs and the bounding rectangle in the Adorner to be scaled also. Is there an easy way around this, or do I manually have to scale these back again. In ArrangeOverride I might be able to scale down the Thumb accordingly if I find that there is a scale transf ...Show All

• SQL Server Escape character for /SET option of dtexec

  I have a problem setting some variables in a package using the /SET option of dtexec. Specifically when the value I want to set contains a semi-colon.

• Visual Basic Connection Strings

  After reading through the issues on ConnectionSettings I have decided that whoever or the group that decided that the developed and deployed database will be in exactly the same place as in the developement environment hasn't a clue to the real world. The person or group should rapidly be removed from the gene pool before any futher damage is done. Sorry for this attitude, but what possible reason could there be to not have the ODBC app look ...Show All
