• .NET Development WinForms Vs WebForms

  Where can I get the list of pros & cons generally speaking WinForms are Richable but not reachable , on the contrary WebForms are Reachable (but not richable due to performance factors). so the question is : can we have a form that is both richable and reachable at the same time . the answer is simply , yes "Click-Once deployment ". there was an old article about hosting a windows form over IIS , and this would lead to the death of browsers we know today . http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnadvnet/html/vbnet10142001.asp so if we can really work this way by hosting winforms over IIS , why would we nee ...Show All

• SQL Server ODBC Destination in SSIS

  Hi! I have a problem that stops me from using Integration Services as THE ETL tool. My goal is to load a data warehouse type of a database. The database is MaxDB (former SAP DB), but this is not the point. Let's take ANY ODBC compliant DB and assume all I have is ODBC driver - no OLE DB driver. I figured out how to read from ODBC source (using Data Reader and ADO.NET provider for ODBC). Now my question is how do I output/write my data into ODBC source When I try to use OLE DB Destination it does not give me an option to use .Net Provide for ODBC. I tried other "destinations" with no luck. I use this version of SQL Server 2005: (Mi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions ; after every line in int main() {}

  I read in a tutorial that at the end of every line in the int main() {} . But then I had a bunch of problems coming up with this code and one of the main problems was the fact that I put semicolons at the end of every line in the int main function. Here is the code: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int choice; cout << "Enter the number 1 if you want the color blue \n"; cout << "Enter the number 2 if you want the color red \n"; cout << "Enter the number 3 if you want the color green \n"; cout << "Enter the number 4 if you want the color orange \n&qu ...Show All

• Visual Basic R

  Hi, I am using VB.Net 2.0 and have connected to Microsoft Access but having trouble running a query as it uses * as a wildcard, but when I run it in .Net it returns nothing as needs to have %. The solutions I can think of are: 1) If I was able to extract out the actual SQL string from the MS Access query from my code then I could do a Replace("*", "%") then would work - but don't know how to extract the SQL string. 2) If there is some way to make the query work with the * then that would also solve my problem. The problem is that I have to run through 850 MS Databases (Student Lab Tests) so can't just chang ...Show All

• Visual Studio Crystal reports XI R2 and Visual Studio 2005 issues

  Has anyone got this error after updating (fresh install) to Crystal Reports XI R2 with reports in Visual Studio 2005 I am posting here because I am not sure if it is a Crystal reports XI R2 bug or a Visual Studios 2005 problem. I thought it might be that my programming was wrong so I tried the samples that come with R2. If anything these should work since the people who developed the software wrote the examples. Even the examples gave me these same errors.

  My scenario is the next: I deploy my application to my clients with ClickOnce, but my clients can modify the code of the application (adding new attributes to the classes), and can personalize the user interface.
