A Good friend asked me the other day
"How do I close a window , which is the only instance , But without the alerts "
Well Alon , my friend , here goes nothing :
<script>
function CloseMe()
{
window.opener = this ;
window.close() ;
}
</script>
<input type=button value="Close Me without Alerts" onclick="CloseMe();">
Hope that helped you

So you want to Color each group in the table in alternating colors ,
but each group 'instance' has different amount of items
well ... the solution is :
=iif(RunningValue(<table1_Group1 grouping expression>,CountDistinct,Nothing) Mod
2, "LightBlue", "Orange")
e.g. : =iif( RunningValue( Fields!InsuredID.Value , CountDistinct,Nothing) Mod 2 , "#F1F9FF", "#DFEBF5")
I was looking in the rest of scott woodgate Biztalk Webcasts
and came across Visio Template with interact with Biztalk
download from :
BizTalk Server 2004 Orchestration Designer for Business Analysts
should be very usefull , I think so any way
I was looking at the introduction to Biztalk 2004 that Scoot Woodgate did in a webcast
and I looked carfully and found two new types of projects
which I didn't know that exists
1. InfoPath Projects ( No it's not part of the Office 2003 System Projects , which are Word and Excel )
which should be relevant to sharepoint 2003 ?
2. Zing Projects
Ok what's Zing ? well the 'Overview' says the following :
Zing is a new software model checking project at Microsoft Research. Our goal is to build a flexible and scalable systematic state space exploration infrastructure for software. This infrastructure includes novel algorithms, and a modular software architecture, to push the frontier on exploring large state spaces of software. ....

It seems there are more then one side of beta testing
which MS supports :
1. The ones which go into general production in the near future
2. The ones which are still in the “university level”
this one is the 2nd

Hi was looking at some thing called F# , and came across this one
though it's old , I liked it
http://research.microsoft.com/projects/clrgen/
A great article which I came across in the MSDN site
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/odc_wd2003_ta/html/odc_WD_VBNETtoRTF.asp
pity I need the 'opposite' which is RTF to XML or WordML(!)
may be i'll do it
1) Printing a a page which has an <IFrame> which takes long time to load :
<script>
function ActivateByInterval()
{
if (document.readyState != "complete")
window.setTimeout(ActivateByInterval, 100);
else
parent.PrintPageAndClose() ;
}
</script>
2) Closing a WebForm which hasn't finished loading
<script>
function CloseForm()
{
if (!window.closed)
{
window.setTimeout("CloseForm()",500) ;
window.close() ;
}
}
</script>
Well , it's in the MS site , a collection of BT webcats list in one place
http://www.microsoft.com/biztalk/evaluation/introduction.asp
As time goes by, I'm beginning to be more and more disappointed from the DUNDAS graphs. It seems that if you "Insert" a tool tip which "points" to "Field" for the same ( or other DataSet ) , COMPILE will throw an Error which specifies that a reference to a non existing Filed is in the report , strange don’t you think ?
It took me a whole day to figure it out ( I didn’t compile right away after the change )
What can I say ….
Hi to all the israelies who go to the user groups
especialy to the last VisualC++/C# user group
after plumbing a bit in the MS site
I think that some of the meterial which is related to
the Debugging in Production Systems , by Gad Meir given on August 18, 2004
Here's a few good links which are realted
System and Device Design: Getting Started
Debugging Tools and Symbols: Getting Started
.. and last but not least
Install Debugging Tools for Windows 32-bit Version
Just incase you want the
gradiant that is used in the msdn site
style="filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(startColorStr='#FFFFFF', endColorStr='#98B2E6', gradientType='1')"
or to be more broden
<td id="msviRegionGradient1" width="50%" style="filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(startColorStr='#FFFFFF', endColorStr='#98B2E6', gradientType='1')"></td>
problem ? I suspect that this works from IE 5.5+
values / properties :
startColorStr = well .. let me think .. ahh the start color in HTMLCode :) , the FROM Color
endColorStr = the same but but as a From TO Color , the TO Color
gradientType = here we have two values :
... 1) "0" which means top/bottom [Vertical]
... 2) "1" which means left/right [Horizontal]
As you all well know the graphs in the RS are from www.dundas.com , but parhaps due to the fact that this V1 of the RS , and the fact that this is an out side source component , a few flows were encounted.
here's the solution to a few of them :
1. you want to create a percentage graph and the percent value ( due formating “P” is in thousands )
solution : change the format to the follwing : ##0.##,"%"
2. the X Axis title is too long ( width problem ) and you want to “insert an enter“
solution : use VBA - & vbCrLf & - in between strings, for example :
= “My “ & vbCrLf & “ Total “ & vbCrLf & “ Customers “ & vbCrLf & “ Are “ & vbCrLf & Format( Fields!Measures_Total_Cust.Value ,"###,###,###")
3. create a pop up from the graph/report for drill options
solution :
a) create an ASP.NET project with an ASPX file RdrctWebForm1.aspx
b) goto into the HTML Source of the ASPX page and add the following
<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<script>
window.open("Drill_Report.aspx?<%= Request.QueryString.ToString() %>",'','left=250,top=200,width=600,height=400,menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes');
self.history.go(-1);
</script>
</form>
c) Choose the wanted place for link/pop up goto “Action” properties
and add the link
e.g. : =”http://localhost/MyRSAddon/RdrctWebForm1.aspx?val1=1&val2=” & Fields!Measures_Total_Cust.Value
