• SQL Server Couldn't see some databases in the object explorer window of Mangement Studio

  hey guys, I have one question. But it is not related with the Reporting Service. I got my computer set up with SQL Server 2005 version yesterday. When I connect to the database engine, I can see only system databases(master,model,msdb and tempdb) under the system database folder. I couldn't see other databases(like pubs,northwind) in the object explorer window of Management Studio. Do you have any idea how to solve this difficulty Thanks. Amde How about the other databases like Adventurework db If you have some idea how to configure the database engine, please let me know. I appreciate your respons ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Foundation Server RTM Installation Issues

  Hello, All. Problems installing TFS RTM application tier. Everything else in the AT install process goes fine, but towards the end it fails with an error that I can't find any reference to elsewhere: "Error 28300.Adding the Team Foundation template to Windows SharePoint failed" [Abort, Retry, Ignore] On examining the MSI log, I find this section: ... 06/11/06 02:05:52 DDSet_Status: Process returned -2130575267 06/11/06 02:05:52 DDSet_Status: Using default error code for return value '-2130575267' and it is: '28300' 06/11/06 02:05:52 DDSet_Warning:  -2130575267 MSI (s) (A0!88) [02:09:06:569]: Product: Microsoft Visual Studio ...Show All

• Visual C# Getting rid of excel.exe from memory

  I use excel interop to load in data from excel file. After the loading is done, I call myExcelInstance.Quit(). But in task manager I can still see an EXCEL.EXE for each file I opened, eating up a fair bit of memory. These instances don't go away until I close my application. What am I doing wrong ~S There's at least one object you aren't releasing. You are using "lSheet.Columns.Count": any time you use "two dots" (A.B.C) you are implicitly referencing the object A.B without releasing it. This should be something like: int columnCount; Excel.Range columns = lSheet.Col ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Problem with WDS Filter

  Hi - I recently upgraded to the most recent version of WDS (2.6.5 ) and Windows Live toolbar. Maybe not a good thing to do at once, but I now get the following error message literally dozens of times a day: " Windows Desktop Search Filter has encountered a problem and needs to close. " I select the "Send Error Report" button (Microsoft should have received a few hundred from me by now) and continue with what I'm doing. I notice that it happens only after I start Outlook 2003. If I leave my computer alone (eg. not start Outlook), it indexes quietly in the background without a problem. I haven't noticed whether it occ ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums print out to .pdf or calling a macro with parameter

  Hi, I created an .hta application that generates XML from Excel Sheets and the reverse, the thing is that when I do the reverse, generate Excel Sheets from XML files, i need to print that sheet to pdf. I try creating a macro that receives as a parameter the name of the final pdf file like this: Sub print2pdf(filename) ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True, PrToFileName:=filename End Sub and then i call the macro in the .hta application with this command: ExcelAppA.run "print2pdf ""F:\ProjectoFCUL\OENG\PDFs\teste_disc_A.pdf""" (i tried a lot of combinations with double quotes or s ...Show All

• Visual C# Service doesn't start-up

• SQL Server April 2005 CTP On Virtual PC 2004

  Hello, I have installed the SQL Server 2005 april CTP on a Virtual PC running Win2003 standard edition. The Management Studio appears to be corrupted and it says that "no such interface supported". This happens only on the VPC. On the main workstation running XP the Management Studio is fine. The same issue arises with the ISO i downloaded from MSDN as well as a copy of the DVD given out at a MS developer event in Reading, U.K recently. Does this ring a bell with anyone has this surfaced for anyone else TIA Benjy For a faster response I suggest you post this to the SQL Server Tools General forum. Dan ...Show All

• Visual C++ .exe

  sorry for sounding stupid. but my program is compiling fine with no errors but how do i output a standalone .exe file now in visual studio 2005. c++ Hey Martin, New to VS2005 hmm... When you compile your program (or If you do debug->start without debugging) , the exe is generated in the debug folder of your project folder (which infact is in the solutions folder :p). (that is the case if your are using the debug setting, you can also set it to "release" settings, in which case u can find the exe in "release" folder). and yes the previous post would be helpful if you are trying to ...Show All

• SQL Server Using Teradata .NET data provider as data source

  Recently I installed the .NET data provider for Teradata. In a regular C# application I can add the namespace, " using Teradata.Client.Provider; " to connect to this data provider directly without going though ODBC or OLD DB so I know it works. However, when I open Reporting Services (new project -> Business Intelligence Projects) I do not see how to add the Teradata .NET provider. I only see the same standard data types as before. I have searched and I do not see how to add the Teradata .NET provider to the available "Type" list when you click “Add New Data Source” to your report. Thanks! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Invalid Build Type

  I have a problem running build types through the IDE. I created our Team projects and added build types for each through the wizard. One project has no problem running the build type. Most of the others state "BuildTypeName is not a valid build type". And the last project states I need "update Build Permissions". None of my permissions changed in between creating any of these project, so I am not not sure why I get that last error. As far as the "not a valid build type" message, this happens with just the wizard generated code. I thought maybe I had edited some value incorrectly inside the XML, but even unedited build type files give this er ...Show All

• Windows Forms Create the app_name.exe.config file during runtime

  Greetings forum inmates Consider the following scenario: You have created your application and you want to deploy it either via click once or xcopy - emphasis goes on xcopy for my case though. Normally you should include an app_name.exe.config file within the download so that the settings are included and loaded when the application starts. But what if you may have a different set of settings attributes on each deployment situation One solution is ofcourse to provide in the download a .config file with <appsettings> for each and every thing that can be changed. The other solution is to create an app_name.exe.config file programma ...Show All
