So I have some Linq code that returns some IQueryable. Now I want to take the query and return a DS (for some legacy systems that I dont have time to rewrite at the moment, but would still like to leverage the a common Linq framework). If the Linq is very basic, it is trivial to get a DataSet back, just use an extension method like: publicstaticDataSet LinqDS(thisIQueryable mySource) { ***DataSet ds = newDataSet(); ***using (SqlConnection connection = newSqlConnection(_connectionString)) ***{ ******using(SqlCommand command = newSqlCommand(mySource.ToString())) ******{ *********command.CommandType = CommandType.Text; *********command.Connection = connection; *********connection.Open(); *********SqlDataAdapter da = newSqlDataAdapter(command); *********da.Fill(ds); *********connection.Close(); ******} ******return<font size=2> ds; ***} } Call it by something like:var o = from*d in DB.MyTable ******select d; DataSet ds = o.LinqDS(); But if the Linq contains a where, this extension method won't work because of the way that Linq generates the sql query. var o = from*d in DB.MyTable ***where d.Column1 > 0 ******select<font size=2> d; Would generate SQL like: SELECT [t0].[Column1], [t0].[Column2] FROM [MyDB].[dbo].[MyTable] AS [t0] WHERE [t0].[Column1] <font color="#808080" size=2 face="Courier New"><font color="#808080" size=2 face="Courier New"><font color="#808080" size=2 face="Courier New">

Hi all, So I watch all the video's about Live Mesh but one thing is still not very clear to me. LETS SAY: I have 2 machines (a desktop and a laptop) both running mesh client. And i share a folder on my desktop with 50GB of photo's. 1)First thing it does, it puts this folder in the local database on my desktop. 2) Then feedsync syncs my local database with the one in the cloud. 3) My laptop see's these changes en copie's them to his local database. 4) ?? the client gives me a notise there is a new folder with lots of data in it, but doesn't show begin copying the photo's yet ?? This is the traject of wat the META data (clean text) is doing, so this doesn't consume mush bandwith. But what road do the files (automaticly take?) So these are my questions: 1) Does mesh automatycly begin uploading all the photo's to the web (bandwith !!) ? 2) Does my laptop know that my desktop is on the same lan and begin copying those files trough the lan network, or does it ask the cloud to git it? 3) Does my laptop do this automaticly when i'm on the same lan ? 4) If my devices don't have an internet connection but both of them have a local, mesh database (dheu) and both of them are on the same LAN, do those two local databases sync ? Bandwith is a problem many of us suffer frome these days... More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

Hi everyone. It's been a long time since I've coded in C#, and to help sharpen my skills I am trying to create a Notepad "clone", if you will. I've got it all down, except the printing part. The code I have works, somewhat, but when I print more than one page it goes into a spooling loop and tries to spool hundreds upon hundreds of pages. It never seems to ever finish. Here is the code: privatevoid printToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { ***printDialog1.Document = this.printDocument1; ***printDocument1.DocumentName = "Notepad Document"; ***printDocument1.PrintPage += newPrintPageEventHandler(printDocument1_PrintPage); ***if (printDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) ***{ ******printDocument1.Print(); ***} } privatevoid printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e) { ***int charCount = 0; ***int lineCount = 0; ***string strPrint = textBox1.Text; ***e.Graphics.MeasureString(strPrint, textBox1.Font, e.MarginBounds.Size, StringFormat.GenericTypographic, out charCount, out lineCount); ***e.Graphics.DrawString(strPrint, textBox1.Font, Brushes.Black, e.MarginBounds, StringFormat.GenericTypographic); ***strPrint = strPrint.Substring(charCount); ***if (strPrint.Length > 0) ***{ ******e.HasMorePages = true; ***} ***else ***{ ******e.HasMorePages = false; ***} } Much appreciation to anyone that helps!

Okay, someone straighten me out on this issue.* Every installer I've had to build, I built within Visual Studio. Through some politics I've blogged about but don't need to go into here, I got stuck on an InstallShield project.* I hate it. Further, now I'm coming under attack for defending Microsoft's product against IS. I know the VS installer does everything I need, but I feel I may need some more fuel if this issue escalates.* What's your favorite installer factory/package/system, and why? More...
