SQL/MS Visual Studio help please! I have two tables. I need to present Table1 data grouped by SiteID, within time FROM and TO, on the report. Then I need to make one calculation on the report using Table 1 data totalled across all sites (and within FROM and TO) plus Table 2 data totalled between times FROM and TO. [more inside]

I've been messing with the Visual Studio 2005 betas, and the .NET framework, and am wondering why Half-Life 2 was written in VS C++ .NET? From what I gather, .NET applications require the framework to be installed on the system, and don't actually use .exe files (correct me if I'm wrong, the whole .NET framework is hugely vague to me still)? So is HL2 just a plain vanilla C++ application that just happens to use VS C++ .NET? And if so, could it even be ported to target .NET and/or be written in say, Visual Basic or J#, since I've also read that there's now no performance difference between anything since they all target the CLR.
