• Visual Basic Does VB.NET support "nested" expressions (like C++?)

  Hi all! I don't recall the exact term in C++, but I could do things like: int c = 5 + (a > 1 a : 0) + b; Can I also do this some way in VB.NET Thanks in advance! The languages do have slightly different features. For example C is case sensitive. I see that to be a real deteriment as came from the company that was very UN-C and I'm still very IN-C. Not that it's relevant but, C syntax is really ugly to me. So largely aside from a few small strengths and weakesses they will accomplish the same. PS - Although C people deny it, I think C string handling is awful. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Passing value of DataPicker control ?

  While trying to get up to speed with Visual Basic 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express I ran into the following problem and hope someone can explain to me what I can do to correct the problem. I created the following SQL query in a Table Adapater (i.e. "WagesEarnedTableAdapter") with the name "ComputeHoursWorked". After creating it I tested it by typing in the values "1" for @EmployeeID and "1/21/2006" for @WeekEndingDate. Everything worked fine and the correct value was returned. SELECT SUM(HoursWorked) AS HoursWorked FROM Projects WHERE (EmployeeID = @EmployeeID) AND (WeekEndi ...Show All

• SQL Server Shredding recordset object var in ForEach loop (problem)

  I have a package that starts by loading a recordset into an object variable. The recordset is then enumerated with a ForEach loop. The loop sets some string variables. Within the loop container I have a Script task that uses a MsgBox to show the results for testing purposes. The package uses checkpoint restart (if that matters ). The first time I run the package the 1st record is displayed in the MsgBox, then the 2nd, but then the loop is stuck on the 2nd record forever. I break the run, and when I rerun it the 1st record is displayed followed by each subsequent record correctly and the package completes successfully. Now, if I were to r ...Show All

• Smart Device Development I'm looking for an article...

  I'm wondering if any readers here have come across an article on CAB and Enterprise Library 2.0 that featured a pluggable UI. More specifically, this article featured the same UI hosted in multiple environments including a standalone WinForm and also in an Office application. It was a demonstration of why one would want to use CAB to build modular UIs. Is anyone familiar with this article For the life of me, I can't find it nor can I remember the root domain where it came from. Any assistance would be much appreciated!
