• Visual C# a question

  I'm going to try vc#2005, what's the most improvement between 2003 and 2005 Seems a stupid question,:-) The improvements are numerous and compelling, in my opinion.

• Visual Basic MDI Forms

  I have a problem. I load MDI child forms from the parent form, but when the child form loads I get objects from the parent form being displayed on the child form (Grid Box with command buttons).

• .NET Development Combine Visual Studio with Access

  Hi All, I have an app developed in Visual Basic 2005 connected to an SQL Server 2005 database (both Express editions). What I would like to do is create an Access .adp connected to the same SQL Server 2005 database. It seems however that Access (I have 2002) does not support developing against SQL Server 2005. Never mind, I can use Visual Studio or SQL Server management studio 2005 to make changes to the database, and I can connect the .adp file to the database and make data changes. However when i open the .adp file i get a connection error when trying to run the VB app and I need to run both simultaniously. Is this due to some ...Show All

• .NET Development Loading UserControl from code without @reference

  Hi, I would like to use LoadControl (in ASP.NET 2.0) to load a user control as described in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/c0az2h86(en-us,vs.80).aspx , without using the @Reference-directive. Is that possible and how This is because I'm working on a generic framework with a class that describes the flow, loads the usercontrols and sets their properties. So I don't want to use @reference-directives in my aspx-files. Please help! I'm stuck here!!

• Visual C++ Knee deep in warnings and errors.

  Hi Does anyone know if you can force the compiler to split warning and error messages between two different tabs. I often find that on some projects when there are many warnings/errors and the two are mixed, it can be a pain trying to scroll through so you can fix the errors first. If this is not possible, I think it might be a nice little tweak for a future release. Thanks. MNiM In Visual Studio 2005 you can pick and choose what appears in the 'Error List' tab. Along the top left of the Error List tab are three rectangles showing the number of errors, number of warnings and number of messages. Those thr ...Show All

• SQL Server Calculate Median Value

  I am converting a report created using Crystal Reports 10 to Reporting Services.  The report contains a list of items with dollar values.  The original report displays both the Average and Median value.  I can easily ( using avg(Field1.Value!) ) determine the average but cannot find a function to determine the median. How can I add the Median to the report   Thanks in advance, Greg Thanks very much for that, I managed to get it working. However I was actually trying to get it to work for a graph - any idea where I would place the “ =Count(Code.addToMedianArray(Fields!Total ...Show All

• SQL Server Help with Case Statement

  I have the following code in which I need to check something in the ELSE. The problem is how to form it correctly. I could use a cursor I guess to transverse through the records. In the Else, I want to: 1) Check the count of the results of my statement. IF > 1 then check to see if m.original is between lowlimit and highlimit for any of those records found 2) If m.original is between the lowlimit and highlimit, then select Fee1 from FeeScheduleDetails m.original and m.FeeSchedule is out here somewhere, just know this...it's part of the query that you don't see CASE WHEN Len(c.FeeSchedule) < 3 then CONVERT(int, c.feeSchedule) ...Show All
