• Visual Studio Tools for Office Use Visual Studio 2005 or use VBA in Access or Excel?

  I am looking for some direction as to how to begin a new project. I am wondering if it would be better to try and use Access or Excel along with VBA to do this project of if I should use VS.NET 2005. What I would like to do is make a proggy similar to QuickBooks. When I downloaded QuickBooks and ran it on trial, I noticed it looked like someone took Access and created a custom form for it. I want the program to be able to keep track of an inventory that will be able to handle being updated. I would also like it to create reports and send them out to either be printed or maybe into another app like Excel. The program will need to ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Form clattered at design time. How to change pages?

  With many controls added to a form I am beginning to sense a problem. During runtime many controls will be invisible on the first page but when subsequent pages are chosen they will appear. It is determined programmatically. I do not see an option to choose pages at design time. It would allow me to see some controls much better. In Visual dBASE Plus such convenience if taken for granted and much appreciated. How can I do it here Thanks. Hi Alex, Just to make sure you understand, Forms don't have Pages, PageFrames do. If you want Pages then you need to add a Pageframe control to your Form. PageFrames are container objects that contain ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem Passing Report Parameters in URL

  I'm currently trying to create a report that will take three parameters in the URL to generate a report: year, month, and day. The report is using an analysis services data source in RS 2005. Now, my problem is that the parameters being passed in the URL are not being selected in the drop down boxes for the parameters. The report does not throw any exceptions, and after the user selects values for the year, month, and day everything generates successfully. Here is the URL format I am trying: http://localhost/ReportServer /FolderName/ReportName&rs:Command=render&Year=2006&Month=6&Day=9 Currently, my parameters are all set t ...Show All

• Visual C# Internal Compiler Error - likely culprit is 'BIND' - C#.NET v1.1

• SQL Server Fit dataset on one page

  Hey guys, Let's assume I have dataset with two columns (A,B) and it has 100 records. I'd like to split this dataset on the same page with 25 records in every column. Side by side. Example: ColA ColB ColA ColB ColA ColB ColA ColB 25 rec 25 rec 25 rec 25 rec What should I use and what properties I have to play with Thanks. Just a quick drop answer: - I asume regular column format does not work for you because you want  balanced columns and RS gives you unbalanced ones. - I asume you have a static format= always 100 records, always 25 records/column, or alike. In t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Copy-modify-merge

  Hi, I'm new to Visual SourceSafe and have some questions about the copy-modify-merge work style. In this model what is the whole purpose of checking out as opposed to just getting the files Is it just to signal what files must be checked in later In that case why do you need to be connected to the database in order to perform a check out In particular when I try to check out a file in Visual Studio 2005 (with SourceSafe 2005) while I'm offline, the program warns me that the "real" check out will actually be performed only when I get back online. So what is this "real" check out about It also warns me that it may be poss ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions ReadByte Vs Readline Vs ReadExisting Vs ReadTo Vs Read

  I have managed to get my vb app to talk to another pc sending a text file via hyperterminal - Transefer - Send text file and using SerialPort in the vb app. If I use .ReadByte or .ReadChar I get the 1st byte of data sent across, if I use any other .Read I get absolutely nothing. The text file has an Newline (LF) character present so would expect .Readline to function ok. Tried .ReadTo with a known character in the file, again it stops at the .ReadTo statement, same with .ReadExisting and .Read which should just take the contents into the buffer on issue of the statement. Added a .BytesToRead statement after the .ReadByte statement and i ...Show All

• .NET Development How to get the list of available satellite assemblies for the main assembly?

  I found just Assembly.GetSatelliteAssembly() which returns just one satellite assembly. I want to retrieve to list of all for users to select their appropriate languages.Please suggest!!! Thank you!!! As I've tried with System.Resourece.ResourceManager, to make it works, you just need to copy new satellite assemblies into the same folder of your application following some folder and file naming convention. So I just want to allow users to just extract new resource file to use the new language. ...Show All
