• SQL Server if/else newbie question (conditionalizing SELECT on old/new db, existence/abscence of a column)

  As to not get lost in the details of my problem, I'm oversimplifying this posting to get the root of my problem answered. :-) Let's say a database has a table called CUSTOMERS , and it may or may not contain a column called ORDER_NUMBER , depending on whether or not the database is an old or new database. Now if I run the following query in Query Analyzer (v8)... if (1=2) begin select * from CUSTOMERS where ORDER_NUMBER is not null end ...I get "Invalid column name 'ORDER_NUMBER'." Obviously 1 does not equal 2, so why is the code in that if block being executed Or is there some sort of precompilation/schema che ...Show All

• Windows Forms Query/Databinding question

  This is a 2 part question as it were so i will start with my query question. I am trying to make a generic query. My query on my table adapter is: SELECT MIN( ) FROM Client WHERE = AND = I ended up changing the WHERE clause so that it would be: WHERE ClientID = AND Status = This cleared up a few errors. I am now having a problem with the Select clause. It will work if i put an actual column instead of a in. It will not accept the passed parameter which in this case is a string. I am trying to develop a few of these querys to make it a bit easier on myself. If there is no way to do a query like this, i will then have to code 80+ seperate qu ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB2005: Creating forms in 'DataReceived' Serial Event

  Hi, I have a VB2005 program that interacts with the serial port. My serial port code is in its own module. I have NOT attached a 'SerialPort' control to any form. When I process received serial data using the 'DataReceived' event, I may see a certain chunk of data for which I want to bring up a new form and show that data in a listbox.. The problem is that when I create this new form (Messages = new frmMessages) and then populate the listbox with some data, the 'DataReceived' event finishes and my new form is sitting on the screen hung and all white. I suppose its because the 'DataReceived' event finished and left my window ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WWF and ASP.Net

  Any news on how WWF will integrate with ASP.Net I am hoping that it will provide a way to graphically manage the workflow of an ASP.Net application. It always bothers me having to bury navigation instructions in your code - if WWF can improve on that then please let me know!!   Jared Bienz wrote: I agree: There is no documentation here that is helpful for workflow orientated Webforms. So far, I have not been able to find any information online either. I wanted to unmark Mark Schmidts post as the Answer , since it does not answer the question. But I'm not allowed to do so.

• .NET Development Full Trust vs Partial trust in the GAC

  Why does a .net dll in the GAC still concidered a partial trust application. I put it in the gac using the gacutil and gave it -addfulltrust - recieved no errors and it runs fine on my computer but I try using it from another client computer and I get partial trust errors. Why is this Is it in the GAC on the machine on which you are trying to run it If so, you're actually running a local copy, and it should receive a full trust grant. If not, you're simply executing an assembly over the network, and it will receive a partial permission grant regardless of whether that assembly happens to be in ...Show All

• Windows Forms Treeview Nodes.Add Problem

  I have a problem when I add a child node. When the tree loads the first time, all the child nodes display correctly.  If I add a child node, it gets saved to the database, and I clear out the tree (treeview.Nodes.Clear) and repopulate it for the new node to show.  However, now the new node I just added, appears in another location and I end up with 2 child nodes with the same name. Any ideas on how to make the treeview refresh correctly   I have stepped through the code when it reloads the tree and the code says it is adding the node from the database, but the treeview doesn't reflect it for some reason.  I have trie ...Show All

• SQL Server Question: how to filter records from the output of a Multicast?

  Question: I am using a multicast transformation task. Input to the multicast task is an OleDb Source task that retrieves data from one table X. There are 'n' multicast outputs (say 4). For each output, I want to filter the records and push the resulting records to the corresponding Ole DB Destination (different for each output). By filtering, I mean, specifying something like a WHERE clause that can operate on the Multicast output columns. What are my options   Is it possible to reference output columns of the multicast task in something like SQL Query for Ole DB Destination Thanks in advance. - Nitesh Ambastha  & ...Show All
