• Visual Studio Team System Permission problems

  hello, I've created a domain group "ts\developers" with two users: dev and dev2.

• .NET Development 32-bit .NET and MDAC

  I have a 32-bit .NET 2.0 application that uses MDAC 2.8. Does a x64 computer with MDAC 2.8 SP2 have the 32-bit version as well I wouldn't imaginge that a 32-bit program could use the 64-bit MDAC libraries. If not, can it be installed in conjunction with the 64-bit one JR Most of the odbc are only available in 32 bit. Sql server is the only exception that I know of. As long as your application is compiled for the x86 processor it will use the 32 bit drivers. ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't Design a Script

  I've placed a Script Task in a package, but the "Design Script..." button only closes the dialog and nothing happens. I've tried a Script Task in an empty package, too. This is a vanilla 2003 virtual PC. No previous beta/CTP versions installed. RTM bits of SQL 2005 and VS.NET 2005 Pro. I can edit macros in VS.NET, so I'm sure the VSA environment is around. No event log entries. Typically run as non-admin, but tried as admin, too. Anyone ever seen this ...Show All

• Windows Forms Any shortcut to passing a form as an argument?

  Any shortcut to passing a form as an argument I was hoping that vs 2005 would ease the problem of passing a form as an argument over vs 2003.  Looks like not.  It is very cumbersome to overload a procedure for each form, so much so that there's no reason to do it. sub XXX(frm as New Form1) Sub XXX(frm as New Form2)   etc. It's easier to repeat the code within the form.  Is there a workaround dennist Adam, Oi, ve voi.  Thank you very much.  I was hoping studio 2005 would have had a shortcut.  Looks like it doesn't. Thanks again. dennist ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Changing activities Id's

  Hi. I have an application that embedds the workflow. In some point of the application, I let the user change the activity Id through a custom form of mine, but that seems to generate a problem. When the user changes the Id, and then drags another activity of the same type to the workflow, it throws an exception saying that the activity already exists. The code that I write to change the activity ID is quite simple: activity.ID = "someNewID"; //Perhaps I have to do something else after this code... I'm with the Beta 1. Any clues Thanks in advance. I did that and everything was fine. What I'm really t ...Show All

• Visual C# 'Couldn't find specified module.', 'FileNotFoundException' when declaring class

  When I declare a class from a referenced DLL (TrueVision3D.dll), Visual C# (2005 Express) throws a FileNotFoundException, containing the description: ' Couldn't find specified module. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E) '. The strange thing is this source code and DLL worked before, but after I reinstalled Windows XP it doesn't work anymore. All required dependencies are there in the right place -already checked that. Also: it only appears when debugging. When I run the Release executable, it just runs. Little sample code: static void Main(string[] args) { TrueVision3D.TVEngine engine; << this line throws the actual error. Sy ...Show All

• SQL Server Collapsable Columns not showing up in export to Excel

  Dear Anyone, I have created a report that has collapsable columns. We had used the visible toggle property in reporting services. While the colpsable column works well in report manager, it doesnt work anyone when we export the report to excel. Even of the report is expanded, the report in excel would always show up with just the columns that are the basis for the collapsable column. Is this really the behavior when it comes to collapsable columns and exporting to excel Example: Column A toggles Column B, Column C and Column D.

• .NET Development Client/server socket application problem - files sent are incomplete

  Hello all I am having problems with a Client / Server application I am writing. I want to send a file from a client app to a server app, and I have created code to do so. I am using VB.NET 2003 and testing on WinXP SP2 for both machines (firewalls disabled). However I have run up against an apparently insurmountable problem (for me). When I test by running both apps on the same computer I have no problems, receiving the test file properly but when I run the client from another PC on my LAN the file only comes through partially (truncated). I have also noted that if I step through the receiving code of the server manually, it works prope ...Show All

• SQL Server Making use of RGDI output

  According to the Reporting Services feature matrix, the image output that Report Server Express has is something called RGDI.  From what I've gathered, RGDI stands for Remote GDI. What is the RGDI file format useful for   I don't know the proper file extension to give the file, nor do I know what viewer can view it. Is there some way to convert the RGDI format to a more universally accepted file format such as .tif, .gif, .jpg, etc...   I'm hoping that I can just capture the binary stream, and convert the stream to a different image format before saving the file. Thanks! Brian, I would like to save the results of a Rende ...Show All
