• SQL Server Client Printing Hangs

  We are accessing SSRS reports using web service. We call the Render the reports using http://<server>/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx reportName&rs:Command=Render All reports render fine. However for one particular report when we click the print button on the report viewer in IE, Active-x pops up a message "Printing Now" and hangs eternally. The error occurs even when I am logged in with Admin privileges to the machine and Active-X client works fine for other reports except this one. Work-around tried: If I call the same report from Report Manager it works fine. Even on the server I have been able to print t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Do Not Catch General Exception Types

  I have a question about the fxCop rule on "Do Not Catch General Exception Types"...I started some discussion on this in another thread but I didn't get a full answer to my question and I thought this topic was worth starting a new thread. I think I'm using the recommended Microsoft approach for Exception Management: I'm using the Enterprise Library Exception Management Application Block to handle exceptions At the "top of the food chain" I have defined some policies for handling exceptions and use the EM application block to determine how to handle, report, and log the error. In all cases at the moment, it simply ...Show All

• SQL Server how to change data types in Excel source file?

  I'm getting a bit lost in SSIS. I've got an Excel source file that I'm trying to load into a table. I keep getting validation errors that warn about not being able to convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types. I'm trying figure out where I have to change this and am frankly confused. It seems SSIS is selecting various columns as unicode/WSTR data types, but I want them to import as regular string types. On the Data Flow tab in SSIS, I right-click on the source Data Flow component (the Excel file) and select Show Advanced Editor. Then on the last tab, Input and Output Properties, there's a tree view for the Excel output. There ...Show All

• SQL Server small scale (light weight) SQL search engine (basically a stored procedure) to search through Products Table

  Hi, I am attempting to build a small scale (light weight) SQL search engine (basically a stored procedure) to search through Products Table. I am passing a search string, which i break up by the ' ' (space) delimiter. next for each [value] (after breaking up) in the search string I want to be able to count the number of occurences of each [value] in the [ProductName] [ProductDescription] fields of the [Products] table. However I am confused as if its even possible. We can count the number of rows(or products) that contain the [value] in either of the [products] data table fields but i don't know if its possible to count the number of occuren ...Show All

• Visual Basic immed?

  In vb 6 I could use the immedaite window to do something like form3.DataGridView1.Width to see the width of a column... then form3.DataGridView1.Width = 800 to set it and see if it looks right.. then I'd write a procedure to set up data grid appearance. How do I do that in vb.net Getting furstrated... Brian I'm back (or, most of me, anyway -- part of me is still 11 time zones to the east ). So, anyway, when you pause the application (if I understand correctly what you're doing), you're pausing it at an arbitrary location. The immediate window and watch windows are scoped to wh ...Show All

• Visual C# Threading - ActiveX Events/Objects

  Hi, I have a threading problem that drives me absolutely nuts and I don't know what to do: I'm using an ActiveX object and subscribe to one of its events. Whenever I execute the method that drives the event, a couple events are triggered. The event response holds an ActiveX object which I need to work with. What happens now is that whenever the event response returns it runs on a different thread. I want to store the event response activex object in a Hashtable which was created on the main thread. Now, when all the events are done, I continue processing on the main thread. But here's the odd thing: All the actvivex objects in the hashtab ...Show All
