• SQL Server Dynamically determining the SQL statement?

  Hello all, I am working with a client who will be creating "template" report for users to be able to customize.  The customization settings will be stored in meta data on a SQL Server somehere. Part of the customization features will allow users to filter the data that they view.  There may be 20 plus filters on any given report and they may want to filter in many different ways (i.e. sometimes to an Equals, other times an IN (), other times a LIKE, etc...), but only one way per field, per customization. With this many possible filters, I want to avoid having the report authors be responsbile for coding the ...Show All

  After hours of trying, I finally got a select statement to return what I needed, but I am not sure how I am doing is the most efficient way. Please give me your input. Here's the situation: I want to allow customers to add to their magazine subscriptions online, so I created an aspx form that shows the magazines they are currently subscribed to and allows them to choose from other "available" magazines.

• SQL Server ntwdblib.dll not found

  We have just installed SQL 2005 on a brand new server and have installed our software for our business solution. When I attempt to run the program, it says that it cannot find "ntwdblib.dll" Where is this file Am I missing a file from the install or what I'm running into a similar problem, and was wondering if the NTWDBLIB.DLL file is a freely distributable file from Microsoft If it is, then the file could be distributed with our application to ensure that it works with SQL Server 2005 database engine. I understand that this would be a short-term solution, until the next build of Microsoft ...Show All

• Visual C# state management

  Hi all!! I'm newbye in c#. I'm looking state management for web apps. I read about web.config, Application[".."], Session[".."], ViewState... It's OK.

• SQL Server Multi-Parameter (Select All) Detection in SSRS 2005?

  I'd like to know if SSRS provides a way to determine if all rows are selected from a multi_valued parameter dropdown list I thought of how I could do this programmatically, but didn't want to build something that is already in the product (if it exists that is). Thanks. There is no built-in functionality, but here are some ideas: * if the multi value parameter has a pre-defined (constant) list of valid values, you know how many values are available for selection. The report parameters in RS 2005 expose a new property called .Count which tells you the count of selected parameter values (e.g. =Parameters! ...Show All
