I can see how to use a cookie, control property, form input value,
profile, query string or session value as a parameter to a SQL Data
Source.
However I would like to use a property that is declared on the page
(which as it happens is persised in VIEWSTATE).
I know I could write the property to a control, but that's no different
to writing the value to the ControlParamete r, which is what I'm doing
now.
Using a property declaratively seems an obvious thing to want to do.
Can I do it, and if so how?
Thanks,
Chris N.
P.S. When would I use a form parameter rather than a control property,
except in the (unusual?) case where that form parameter was not exposed
via a control? 1 1319

Actually You can do it.
Check it out here: http://vaultofthoughts.net/ProblemsW...eControls.aspx
Note that you wont get designer support for this as described in the
article. I use this technique and so far I cannot complain :-).

I don't know if I understand, but I use page as parameters for data
source controls very often.
Also if you prefer working with objects rather than datasets, check my
object data source control - it will make your life a lot easier: http://vaultofthoughts.net/ObjectDat...ternative.aspx

I'm trying to write a program in vb.net to automate filling out a

The second form is multipart/form-data. Unfortunately, I haven't

I just changed my Access 2002 database to a SQL Server ADP project. I
had a form where the user entered a value into a text box and when a
command button on the form was clicked a Report was opened. The reports
record source is a query. The query uses the value from the form text
box to restrict the query.
Table name = EggsTable
one of the columns in the table is named: EggColor
Form name = EggColorForm

Hello everyone,
I'm new to access, so if this is a dumb question I apologize in
advance.
I created a query that requires a "parameter value" to be entered.
I then created a form to display the results of that query.
This worked fine and I am able to scroll throught the results of the
query in my form.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
