• Visual Studio VS 2005 and Crystal Reports problem

  I am sorting the fields in a report using the following code Dim FieldDef As FieldDefinition FieldDef = myReport.Database.Tables.Item(0).Fields.Item(cboSortOrder.SelectedValue) myReport.DataDefinition.SortFields.Item(0).Field = FieldDef This works fine for all datatypes except dates. Every attempt at sorting on date causes the following error message to be displayed. Message ="The group options for a date, time or date-time condition field must be a date group options object."

• Visual Basic can here discuss vb6

  or vb.net Hi, This forums is still beta. this was created in parallel for the Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2. The final release of this forum would also be in nov. (I really hope so) this forum mostly discusses .net technologies. that's why vb6 (COM) is not being discussed here. If you want to get the microsoft vb6 site here it is: http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp Just search it in the NNTP forums...   cheers, Paul June A. Domag ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Type definitions overwritten every night

  A small problem has come to light. I successfully exported and modified the Task.xml and Bug.xml type definitions. I then imported the changed template successfully. Subsequent changes to the templates were made and imported via witimport.exe. Any changes I made were reflected in any new bug or task added to the test project. We already had an existing project up and running, setup with the original basic MSFAgile template. When it came to use the new templates everything went well. Import was successful, no errors, and test work items could be created and pushed through the new process. However (there's always at least one "however") a p ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies How to enable indexing and searching the local history?

  Hi, Because privacy and security had become your priorities, Microsoft Desktop Search can't index nor search the local history. However, I would like to index and search the local history through MDS. I'm sure that other users also need that feature. Any hint Fokus Hi Fokus, The only method I'm aware of for doing this is a third-party solution that is documented on CodeProject, here: http://www.codeproject.com/internet/MSNDesktopSearchWebCache.asp It's not endorsed or supported by Microsoft in any way. However, it might be what you're looking for (or at least give you a starting point). ...Show All
