• Visual Basic Capture text from another program and store it in the clipboard

  I've seen several articles regarding "screen scrapes" and other forms of captures but I have not found one that fits my needs. I am currently developing an application that needs to read text generated by another program. The other program is a telnet client. An example would be: In the other program, I type a command that will generate anything from 30 to 256 lines of output. I want my program to capture this output as it is generated (screen shot will not work because the information will scroll off the screen) Currently users are required to use copy & paste to use my application. This can be a major pain if the out ...Show All

• SQL Server calculated sum

  I have a dataset that returns a measure and a bunch of dimensions. What I need to be able to do is calculate a sum of this measure based on one dimension. ie.. Sum(measure) where dimension = "Top". Any ideas on how to accomplish this. Not sure if this solution will work for you, but you can add a Calculated Field to the Data Set, say: "FilteredQty", defined as (assuming Quantity is an integer): CInt(iif(Fields!Country.Value = "USA", Fields!Quantity.Value, 0)) Then in your report you can use this expression: Sum(Fields!FilteredQty.Value), wich should return 4 rather than 10 To make it dynamic, "USA" can be re ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System NUnit vs VSTE

  Hi all, I'm interested to know what people think about VSTE unit testing and also what people currently using NUnit think about this new support for unit tests in Visual Studio. What I can see myself after a short look at the features is that VSTE offers a great integration with the development environment as well as the addition of code coverage. NUnit on the other hand doesn't require a project and can be integrated to the source code assembly to test internal methods (not only public ones). So, which tool do you like most NUnit or VSTE Why What about TestDriven.NET I tink both are very usefull. When a comapany is going to buy Te ...Show All

• SQL Server Re-do replication for new release

  We alter the database schema that our production application uses with almost every release.  Is there a way to basically remove the replication and re-do it for all tables / views at one time   Then we could just "rebuild" the replication with every release.  We have about 200 tables and 200 views that have many dependencies.  I'm sure it could be done with scripting and the stored procedures, but I'm new at this and not sure where to start.  Any ideas   Thanks! Yes, you could script out all the replication settings (publication, articles, jobs, subscriptions, etc) using ...Show All
