• Visual Studio Report renders differently after deployment

  I have a set SQL 2005 Reporting Services reports that I have developed that display the selection criteria that the user selected in the report header. They render just fine in the development environment (VS2005) - but when deployed to the report server - the allignment goes haywire. An example follows: Assigned To: Some User Snapshot Date: 6/1/2005 Type: VCC In the development environment they render co ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista General questions about WWF

  I've tried the Hand on Labs for the WWF Beta 2, even for Lab-01, not clear/simple enough for me to understand the logics behind as it uses too many external activities and applications (without description). I've a couple of questions in mind after the lab and hope any of you can help. After start a sequential workflow, how to: 1) Check the workflow status (completed or not) 2) How to get a return value from the workflow 3) Can we se ...Show All

• Visual Studio Design-time Reflection

  I have created several type editors that require design-time reflection in order to accomplish their tasks.  Using methods from the System.Reflection namespace works perfectly until the code is changed thereby modifying the type.  After the code change, I have to rebuild the solution and restart Visual Studio before the reflection is up-to-date again. I know there must be a way to gether reflection information at design-time (intellis ...Show All

• Visual Studio Placing my toolwindow in the main document area

  Hello, I would like to place my toolwindow in the same MDI area as where documents live (e.g. this is what the Start Page does in VS 2005).  I plan to use the ProvideToolWindow attribute to set placement of my toolwindow.  What guid would I specify (and if anyone knows, is there a constant/enumeration/etc in one of the managed VS shell assemblies I can use) Thanks, Notre Turns out I don't n ...Show All

• SQL Server Understanding RS Security

  I have an asp.net 2.0 app that calls the Render() method on Reporting Service (web service) because I need to (programatically) save the report as a pdf. At one point, everything was working fine.  But I upgraded my server from Win 2000 Server to Win 2003 Server and I am having problems now. When the Render() method is called, I get the following exception: "The permissions granted to user 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE' are insufficien ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView, Really Bad Performance w/ Boolean Field

  I am seeing really bad performance on the DataGridView that is bound to a DataTable with a boolean field. The problem occurs when you loop through the DataTable and try to change the value of the boolean field. In my example below I create a hard coded DataTable and add 26 rows to it and then when you click on the button it loops through the rows and changes the value of the boolean field. I ran the code through a profiler and the line that s ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS as integrated with SQL Server

  I have a VS 2005 installed on one partition under Win2K Pro and SQL Server installed on another partition under WinSer2003. The latter version of VS appears to be a stripped down version of VS with features geared toward the SQL Server. It came in on the same DVD as SQL Server. It turns out I now need to have a C# compiler and debugger on the second partition where SQL Server sits. My question is: if I install the full version of VS2005 on this ...Show All

  I'm using conversation timers successfully to fire events at a predetermined time in the future, but I'm running into issues when using an interval of considerable size.

• .NET Development JScript .NET without compilation?

  I have written a script that uses the .NET framework for IO, Hashtables, Event Log entries, etc.  I've been using jsc.exe to compile the script so that I can use the CLR debugger.  Now that I have a final, debugged, script, I cannot run the .js file as a standalone, interpreted, script. At first, it objected to the import statements (such as System.Diagnostics, System.IO, etc.) so I removed the import statements and fully specified all ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Compare Versions with MSSCCI Provider

  If I compare a checkout file to the server version I believe the panes are reversed. Currently, it shows the local file on the left side and the server file on the right side. This causes newly inserted code to appear as deleted text. If I compare the same file with the Team Explorer the panes are reversed (server on left and local on right), and the new code correctly shows up as inserted text. Has anyone else noticed the same beha ...Show All
