  Hi, I am very new to SSRS and wanna know some very important things to begin reporting in it. I am developing an ASP.NET application where we report using datagrids. i now want to convert those reports to SSRS Reporting. but the problem is that all the queries of those reports are dynamically formed based on the querystring parametrs that the ASPX page recieves.It is something of this sort.... stringbuilder.append("Select ..... from ......"); stringbuilder.append("where ...."); if (request.querystring["id"]==1) { stringbuilder.append("and id = ... and name =...."); } stringbuilder.append(" and lastname like '%d'"); It is of this sort. so y ...Show All

• Visual C# How to read JPEG in .NET

  Posting it for Vijay L ...   How can I read JPEG, GIF and PNG in .NET if I am using J# I know one solution: I can use System,Drawing.Bitmap to read JPEG/GIF. Use Bitmap to do further processing and then save back as JPEG.   Problem with this solution: - Bitmaps take more space than JPEGs. - This is not an elegant solution,   Is there any other way I can read these different formats   Regards, VJ In memory, everything is a bitmap.  That is what an image is.  JPEG is just the way it is stored on disk.  As soon as you put it in memory (to draw, manipula ...Show All

• .NET Development Socket Connections do not seem to close properly

  Hello, I have created a TCP socket Client program and a Listener program consisting of mainly MS sample code.  The two programs do communicate, but once the client has disconnected using TCPclient.Close, the client socket shows a CLOSE_WAIT in the "netstat" command and does not go away until the Listener is shutdown. I have tried the Client program with a commercial Listener program, and it does not leave the client socket in CLOSE_WAIT.   The client socket listing is gone from the netstat command.  This makes me think there that the MS Listener sample code is not closing the client socket properly. Any ideas   ...Show All

• Smart Device Development win ce 4.1 and seting / getting timezone in c#

  I have an app that needs to be on the correct time of day and time zone. I have the code to set the time by a pinvoke call. I found an API call for Get and Set Time Zone but it wants a C/C++ struct that I am not sure how to create in C# the msdn docs call for WCHAR blah[32]; which if I am thinking right means an array of 32 UNICODE chars not a pointer to a string. and C# will not let me declare a struct with a fixed array size like char[32] foo; can someone give me the right struct or class to pass to this platform call thanks!     Hi!
