• SQL Server Can't connect to Report Server via Management Studio

  Hi, I have a local installation of SQL Server 2005 (Developer Edition) on XP Professional SP2, with Reporting Services, Integration Services, and Analysis Server installed. I can connect to Integration Services and Analysis Server via the SQL Server Management Studio, but not to the Report Server. I can access and use the Report Server installation via http://localhost/Reports and http://localhost/ReportServer , and everything checks out on the Reporting Services Configuration tool, so the server appears to be working fine. I've uninstalled/re-formatted/reinstalled the services (with all default options, and services running a ...Show All

• Windows Forms Data and multiple threads?

  Hi there I'm a bit of a database wimp and need to know the best method (at least the likely best anyway) of doing the following: I have data arriving at the computer from an external source over IP. The data is text delimetered. Records can arrive as slowly as once in 5 seconds and up to 10-20 per second. I need to be constantly monitoring the socket and when packets (records) arrive, spilt it up and put it into a table that is saved to disk. At the same time, the form needs to display a datagridview with the current information as it arrives. The form also needs to be able access the current data and write the data ...Show All

• SQL Server Schedule last day of the month?

• Visual C++ Thank You

  I'm want to read the date and time a file was created.  I saw that CFile GetStatus() could do what I wanted.  I'm able to display the file name and path but how the heck do you display CTime m_ctime value   I do see a number retreived while in debug mode. Thanks for your help. Thanks for the help. I was just missing this part( bold ) CString myString = myFileStatus.m_ctime .Format("Created %m/%d/%Y %I:%M %p") ; I never would of figured that out. Don't do that much with C++. If this info was in a book could you give me its Name and ISBN number. Again Thanks ...Show All

• Windows Forms Properties window keeps giving me "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error

  Howdy folks, When attempting to change some of the properties in the Properties window for some components within the main form of my windows application (e.g. the DataSource property within a DataGridView, the DataSource for a BindingSource, etc.), the following error message pops up in a message box without any further information:    "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." All the properties which are giving me trouble seem be data-related. Unfortunately, I'm not able to augur what this is supposed to mean, and what I should do to remedy the situation.  Anyone have any recommendation ...Show All

• Visual C++ function return more than one value

  Hi Guys This is just a general question. I am not sure whether this is the right place to ask(as I am new to this forums). Well my doubt is, "can a function return more than one value(other than array)" for example:  return result1,result2; if so how would the function be called (supposing "value1,value2=function_()" ) It would be great if anybody can help me with this Well, the term 'function' has a mathematical background, and it maps an input to exactly one output.  You are asking for a relation, a many-to-many-sort of concept.  Sorry, programming languages don't generally do this kind of thing unless you don't mind m ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System About asp.net development web server and tests

  I think i need to clear some concepts. I have a test solution, with a WebApp project, i class library project and a test project with a bunch of unit tests already created. As the documentation say, the WebApp property called "Use dynamic ports" is set to false, and a fixed port is selected. I can run the WebApp and the fixed port instance of the development server stays running, even if i cancel de debug... what (i guess) is correct. My question is: Why when i run any unit test on methods inside the webapp, a new instance of ASP.NET is executed (with a different port). The same thing happens with a web test, or a load t ...Show All

• Windows Forms include external executables in setup

  hello one of my application's classes, calls some external executables (.exe files), for example the 7Zip command line tool 7Za.exe to decompress some files. how do I include these files in my installation thanks paul One of the easiest ways is to simply add the exe in question to your project and in its properties set the Build Type to Content. If you are building a ClickOnce installer that is really all you’ve got to do as it will automatically be added. If on the other hand you are using a Setup Project, in addition to grabbing the Primary output from the project where you are ...Show All

• SQL Server Problems restoring 2000 db to 2005

  Hello, I'm having a problem restoring a db from sql server 2000 to 2005.  The db is around 4 gigs, and seems to restore fine on other 2000 servers, just not 2005.  In the restore window, for some reason it sees the name as 'INCOMPLETE', when starting restore it will get error after about 20% complete: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The media family on device 'P:\MSOC_FULL.DMP' is incorrectly formed. SQL Server cannot process this media family. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo) Any thoughts as to why the db would restore fine on 2000 but not 2005 Thanks, Adrian Crawford A couple of years later, I am se ...Show All

• Visual Basic Synchronize settings button isn't working

  Using VS2005 version 8.0.50727.42 RTM, I am experimenting with application settings to add some persistance to a VB windows app. Changing the scope of a setting from User to Application leads to a Configuration system failed to initialize exception at run time.

• Visual Studio Team System MSF Agile: cannot close scenarios

  Hi,     In the Process Guidance for MSF Agile v100.1, in the workstream "Create a Scenario", activity "Prioritize Scenario List", sub-activity "Determine an Overall Priority" it says: Close the low priority scenarios that will be implemented in a future release using the deferred reason code.     But in the Process Template, there is no transition from "Active" to "Closed" state for scenarios. So I cannot close it! The only transition available from "Active" is to "Resolved" but in the description of the "Resolved" state in the Guidance it says that the scenario has to be implemented in code. ...Show All

• .NET Development HTTP and HTTPS Over My Socket

  I need to be able to HTTP and SSL over my own socket (Socket class).  The big picture is that I'm writing a combined client and server for a protocol that sends XML messages via SOAP over HTTP and HTTPS with and without keep-alive and gzip.  I'd write a web service, but it looks like that won't give me sufficient control of the underlying socket.  With .NET 2.0, it looks like my life will be eased with SslStream, GZipStream, and XmlSerializer with XmlTypeMapping to help with SSL, GZip, and SOAP.  I think that only leaves HTTP for the non-SSL case. 1) Is there any .NET class that can make my life easier to do HTTP when I’m ...Show All
