• Visual C# How can I use C# codes and programs on web?

  I have a html web page and I want to do sometinghs in it with c#. What should I do C# is not an interpreted language. You therefore can not include any script blocks that use C# code. You must use a scripting language like JavaScript or VBScript. If you want to use C# then you are limited to using it on the server side and you'll need to use ASP.NET and a web server like IIS. C# code runs on the server. Client code runs using scripting languages. I believe there might be a scripting language similar to C# available but anyone visiting your site would have to have the scripting engine installed on their loca ...Show All

• Visual Basic Connecting to a server

  im using the exportXML command in Microsoft Access 2003 to export a .xml file to my website. I have been experiementing with the exportXML command and have been able to export a table to a folder at my website. The problem is that before the table is exported i get a connect to website dialog box where you enter your server user name and password. Once submitted the .xml file is exported successfully. I would like to write some code that hides the connect to website dialog box and fills in the information automatically so users of my database dont see the connection. I have searched and search the net and are struggling to find exam ...Show All

• SQL Server Registry to store configuration values ?

  I try to store a SSIS-configuration value in the registry. But it's failed. I get a warning, that the registry-key is not found. What is the syntax I have searched in BO,MSDN and  Google/Internet ==> nothing. There is no example.     The syntax of how to specify the name of the registry key is straightforward.

• Visual Studio Team System Incorrect registration entries being returned

  I am trying to get TFS to retrun only entries pointing to a FQDN and not just the host name.  In Team Explorer, I'm able to connect to the FQDN.  When I look at the RegProxyFileCache.xml to see what the registration results were, there are problems -- the ServiceInterfaces for the CommonStructure have the FQDN in the URL's.  That's good. The problem is that for the Reports and the Wss entries, they return only the host ( http://HOST/Reports  and http://HOST/sites ).  I want them to return the FQDN instead.  How can I do this For what it's worth, in the DB TfsIntegration, tbl_service_interface, if I open t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Reportviewer Export Dropdown not active until refresh or action taken in webform

It is just the report viewer export dropdown is disabled (greyed) until I do something or refresh the page. Is it possibly because I am binding the reportviewer thr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System VS/TFS Merge Buttons Broken

  All of our developers who have installed Visual Studio 2005 TS Developer and the TFS Explorer B3R from our licensed MSDN media have broken Merge tools (buttons missing, icons missing, etc.). However all of us who have installed the tools from our 180 evaluation version have working Merge tools. The paid version is broken. The free eval version is working. We prefer to use single checkout mode but since we cannot automatically force a get latest we are trying the multiple checkout mode. Otherwise we would not care about the merge problems. But that is another story. We had a Microsoft support person tell us something to the effect that ...Show All
