• SQL Server Error exporting a subreport to Excel!?

  Hi All, I have a report sonsisting of two subreports. When I export it to Excel I get an Error!! I played around with it and I found out that if I use ReportItems in my page header it will cause this error! Does anyone have any idea why Is this a bug or there is some work around it! Thanks. In my situation there is no table! Just a simple sub-report. Anyhow, I ended up removing the header and any reference to the ReportItems from my report Footer to make it work! I believe this is the only solution to this MS bug! But, still love to see if someone come up with a solution for this glitch. Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual C# C# .NET Naming Conventions

  Does anyone know where I can find a list of naming conventions for UI elements.  I found a bunch of places where they have variable, property, method, event handler, formatting style, etc. conventions.  But I am having a hard time finding naming conventions other than the Visual Basic 6.0 Naming Conventions on Microsoft's website.

• Visual Studio Team System Testing Native Code (C++ ) using Team Unit Testing frameworks

  I have been looking for some pointers or guide lines as to how do I test C++ unmanaged code using Unit Tesing capabilities of VS 2005. Do I need to write wrappers in managed code ( a sort of mixed mode class one that calls into managed code and other that calls the native code) Any suggestion welcome Regds Dinesh If your C++ code is COM typelib, you could register the lib, and could add the lib to your test project's references (via COM tab in Add references dialog). Then you can exercise your C++ code in managed test code. If your C++ code is not COM lib, you can use DllImport to import the functions and exercise them in mana ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectMusic for Managed DirectX

  Hi, I have a question. Is there any plans to implement DirectMusic for Managed DirectX If so, I would like to know when. I'm a fan of DirectMusic and interactive music is important for games.

• Visual Basic GDI+ Question - Copy drawn image

  I've spent the last hour googling, searching this forum, and MSDN2 for what, I assumed, would be a simple process.  I have a picturebox that I've drawn in (via the Paint event).  I want to copy the information I've drawn on the picturebox (not the box's .Image property, which is nothing)  to the windows clipboard. Short of resorting to the API and BitBlt how can I get what's drawn on the picturebox into the clipboard Hi! You can draw stuff in own bitmap and copy to clipboard this bitmap: Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap (100, 200); using ( Graphics g = Graphics .FromImage( ...Show All

• Visual Studio Can't get LAN Booster client to use server

  When loading a solution in VC++ 2005 (RTM), I get the message "Unable to use SourceSafe LAN service, performance of SourceSafe operations will not be optimal".  SSService is running on the server and there are no errors in the application log of the server related to it.  The only entry is a message indicating the service has started.

• Visual C++ Help with compiler error

  After discovering the code I would need to write my version of IPCONFIG from MSDN I quickly realized that when I tried to compile what I had written mixed with what I am using from open source that my program wasn't compiling right.
