• SQL Server Get value of 10 textboxes to decide footer color

  If I have the 10 textboxes in my footer with a value of "X" (from an IIF() expression), then I would like to alert the users and have the footer a different color. I'm trying to get the value of the textbox, but keep getting an error of it being undeclared.  I'm trying different syntax, but can't get it to work. Here's the code: = IIF( textbox11 ="X" or textbox15="X" or textbox19="X" or textbox27="X" or textbox23 = "X" or textbox31 = "X" or textbox35 = "X" or textbox39 = "X" or textbox43 = "X" or textbox47 = "X" ,"Gainsboro","Transparent") That seems to get me closer, but it still doesn't get me ...Show All

• Visual Studio Any problems upgrading VSS database

  I have just installed VS2005 and I'm now all set to upgrade my SourceSafe 6 database to 2005. Has anyone had any issues with the process or are you aware of any factors I might want to take into consideration before taking the plunge I'm guessing (because I can't find any docs or FAQ on the subject) that as part of the upgrade process a new SQL Server database will be created and all of my source code from my VSS6 database will be added to it If anyone has already been through this process and can shed any light on the situation I would be most grateful for yours thoughts or experiences. Obviously our existing database is backed up, b ...Show All

• Visual C++ Slow link time

  I am using VC++ 2003.  My link time in debug configuration, for a simple console test program with less than 600 total lines of code, is more than two minutes.  This is quite annoying in the context of a continuous build-test-debug cycle. This is on a dual-processor 2.8 GHz Xeon with 2 GB of memory, so I don't think hardware is an issue. The /TIME option gives the following result: Pass 1: Interval #1, time = 11.313s Pass 2: Interval #2, time = 127.109s Final: Total time = 138.422s Final: Total time = 139.687s I pull in a total of 6 object files, 8 static libraries (about 32 MB in debug build), and one DLL.

• Windows Forms ComboBox / DataGridView Problem

  Hello, I have a form with a ComboBox and a DataGridView . One of the columns of the DataGridView is a ComboBoxColumn. The DataSource of the ComboBox and the DataGridView are Object BindingSources. If I assign a third Object BindingSource to the ComboBoxColumn and run the application, I get the following error in the InitializeComponent method:     Field called Name does not exist.

• Visual C++ MSXML DOM memory usage

  One of the applications I'm developing requires the use of some kind of phone/address book. The address book requires to be persistent. The first idea was to use the registry, but it appears that in the typical scenarios in which this will be used, the address book can have as many as 65,000 - 70,000 entries and that would mean too much data in the registry. I'm evaluating the suitability of XML for this purpose and plan to use DOM to allow for typical operations associated with an address book. In this context, I need to know the typical memory requirements for MSXML DOM when used in this manner. I do not expect the data format to be too de ...Show All

  Does anybody on this forum know how to make a video game trainer in c++ (using visual c++ express) I would like to know how to do this. I know it is not impossible. I have searched the internet and all the examples I could find are either extremely old or they are for asm (which I do not know). I am fluent in vb and vb.net, if that matters. If someone would be nice enough to explain the process to me, it would be great. Thank you.
