• .NET Development Join 2 tables from 2 different databases in ADO.net

  Does anyone know what happen to the "Build Web Comments Page" function that used to be under the Tools menu in VS 2003 It does not appear to be an option in VS 2005 Thanks for the help in advance.

• SQL Server Groupings in Matrix Layout?

  Hello, I am trying to come up with a Matrix report using RS 2005 that looks like this one below.

• SQL Server Serious Converting Data Problem

  Hi, I am going to map a SQL Server 2005 table to a SQL Server 2000 table. Here are databases specifications: SQL Server 2000: Collation: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1256_CI_AS Table: Party Feilds: Serial int not null FullName varchar(50) SQL Server 2005: Collation: Arabic_CI_AS Table: CMN_tblParty Fields: PartyID int not null FullName nvarchar(50) I used SSIS to map data from 2005 to 2000 but it failed. Actually it can't convert unicode field to non unicode one. Therefore I used a Data Conversion Block and I converted the FullName from CMN_tblParty to string with CodePage 1256. But when I connect this block to OLEDB Destination block, ...Show All

• Visual C++ Good old days in C++ are gone

  Hi, All! In general, C++ always was a low level programming language. Now this is gone. MS have changed managed extension syntax. Now i can't implement IDisposable by self! What if i don't want call SuppressFinalize  I can't implement my own version of Dispose(bool disposing). I like C++ for freedom, now even under C# i have more freedom. I don't like this! Dmitry Native (unmanaged) C++ in VS 8.0, sans the optional Microsoft extensions that have been around for a long time, is one of the most C++-conformant in any product out there, so it's not "gone."  It's here today and better than previous versions of Vis ...Show All
