• .NET Development How to navigate between records in webform

  Hello.. I am shifthing from asp to asp.net. We can navigate records in ado by movenext method..but if i want to do same in asp.net how can i do plzzzzzzz help me ADO.NET uses a disconnected data model, where data is pulled into memory and manipulated there, rather than holding an open connection to the database while manipulating data. You can use a data reader to serve a similar function to the ASP recordset, but it is forward-only and read-only. You would think after this much time, there would be some good articles out there about migrating from ADO to ADO.NET from a normal user's perspective, without all the technical jargon ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Trouble with the winfx custom control template

  I'm having trouble adding a new winfx custom control to my project. When I add a user control, there is no problem. But I want to inherit from other control (instead of Usercontrol), so I try to use the WinFx Custom Control template, but I get an error dialog like this: Error: this template attempted to load an ustrusted component 'WinFxCustromControlTemplateWizard, Version=1.0.2105.28464, Culture=Neutral, PublicKeyToken=c12fb63fad4f4849'.

• Visual C# c# colordialog custom colors save

  Hello, Is there some way to save and restore the custom colors in a colorDialog in a Windows Forms project When I look in the ApplicationSettings's PropertyBinding pop-up for the colorDialog, those custom colors are not there. Thanks. The ColorDialog class exposes a property called CustomColors which is an array of integers that represent the colors in question in an ARGB format. Worst case you could save these values manually after use of the ColorDialog and then reload them later. ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Express 2005 RTM?

  I see that SQL Server 2005 has gone RTM, but the SQL Express website still only lists the September CTP... Anyone have an idea when the SQL Express RTM will be available for download I'll answer my own question since I've since found the answer on http://blogs.msdn.com/mswanson/archive/2005/10/27/486081.aspx .  The Express products will be available for download on November 7th. ...Show All

• Visual C# convert a string to date but whith new format

  hello can any one help me to converter a stringdate with this format "Mon Nov 21 11:34:17 2005" in date like dateTime=date.parse("stringdate") thanks Assuming that you can't rely on the locale formatting then you'll need to explicitly lay out the formatting through the ParseExact method. DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(str, "MMM d HH:mm:ss yyyy" , null , DateTimeStyles.AllowInnerWhite | DateTimeStyles.AllowWhiteSpaces); Unfortunately I don't believe DateTime will be able to handle the weekday name so you'll need to strip it off first.

• SQL Server Parameterized MDX queries using AdomdParameter

  Are there any good examples out there of performing parameterized MDX queries, using the new AdomdParameter class in 9.0 The only sample I've found so far involves querying KPIs, but I just want to query standard measures and dimensions. In our experimentation, we're trying to use a parameter for the measure name in a query, eg. SELECT @measure on columns from [CubeName] Running that command throws an error: The Axis0 function expects a tuple set expression for the argument. A string or numeric expression was used However, it works when I change the command to: SELECT strtomember(@measure) on columns from [CubeName] Is wrapping all the param ...Show All

• Visual C++ STL.Net - when can we expect the final beta?

  Hi, Can anyone give me an idea when the final beta of stl.net will be available. I've been putting off a project that will require heavy use of the library but time's running out and unless it appears soon will have to go with unmanaged code and native stl. I've started with the version on beta 2 but it's kinda unuseable (multimaps, string and make_ref_pair are all very rough) -Liam Thanks for the prompt reply Ayman. W ithout its standard libraries C++ is a much limited development tool, and to my mind C++/CLR is practically worthless until such times as I can use the standard library with managed types. ...Show All

• SQL Server Counting no. of records

  Hi I need the ability to calculate the no. of records based on the no. of times a value in the sql report is given. For example based on a table shown below: Ref No. First Name Surname 18 test test 18 test test 18 test test 19 test test 19 test test I need to calulate the records returned on the ref no. I have managed to set page breaks based on a new ref no. with grouping and therefore the count will be displayed at the end of each of the records returned. As you can see there are three records returned for ref no. 18 and 2 for 19. How can I achieve this. Many thanks in advance ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Any way to simulate a key being pressed?

  I'm wondering if there is a way to simulate a key being pressed, such as ENTER. I need to do this without targetting a specific window, just simulate as if somebody hit enter on the keyboard. I cannot target the window (or more like I don't know how) because I'm not creating the window. It's a print dialog that is created by the FaxServer object. Any ideas I know that simulating enter would certainly not be the best answer (without targetting), because any number of things could happen to screw it up, but it's my last resort. Thanks. What about SendKeys.Send( "{ENTER}" ) ...Show All

• SQL Server Insufficient Log Data

  The mirror database, "UOP_PIMB", has insufficient transaction log data to preserve the log backup chain of the principal database. This may happen if a log backup from the principal database has not been taken or has not been restored on the mirror database. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 1478) I've taken a backup while the database is online and applied it to my "other" server. What do I need to do to have both in sync to get mirroring to work. My way around this is to restore the backup to my primary. thanks. Even though the BOL don't mention this, I have always had to appl ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Progress bar

  Ok. how do you gte a progress bar to work beacuse i'm clueless. Well, which bit are you stuck with The most common reason that people ask this is because they are trying to show progress on an atomic operation ( that is, they call a method and expect a progress bar to move while that method runs, that won't happen ), or because they don't see anything on the progress bar, because their processor is taken up by the operation ( call Application.DoEvents() within your method to fix this ). If this doesn't answer your question, please provide some more detail and the code you've already written, and I'll be happy to help further. ...Show All
