• SQL Server Reporting Services 2005

  Can I install and run Reporting Services 2005 on a SQL 2000 server currenly running RS 2000 Sorry, your original message wasn't clear enough, so I thought you wanted to run SSRS 2000 and 2005 at the same time on the same machine. Evidently, you just want to upgrade. Yes, 2000 reports can be published to 2005. They will be automatically updated so they work in 2005. Once updated, you cannnot round-trip them BACK to 2000, however.   ...Show All

• .NET Development Problem with XMLSerializer in .NET 2.0

  We use the XMLSerializer to serialize a class hierarchy. This works fine in .NET 1.1 but in .NET 2.0 beta 2 I am getting the following error message: "If one class in the class hierarchy uses explicit sequencing feature (Order), then its base class and all derived classes have to do the same." This message is actually from the most inner exception. The 15 or so nested "outer" exceptions reported the following. "System.InvalidOperationException: There was an error reflecting type ' mytype ' This error occurs on the call XmlSerializer oSerializer = new XmlSerializer (oData.GetType()); where oData is object I am serializing.

• Visual Basic getting files from FTP

  Hey, I got a Windows application that processes Excel files and transfers all data to a DB. These Excel files at the moment are being sent to Malta from Germany via FTP........ the user copies the files to another location (as the FTP directory is not accessible) and then browses for them using an Open File Dialog.... the application then does the processing needed! I would like to automate this a bit more. 1. How can I access the FTP server (NOT anonymously!) 2. How can I check if the folder is empty 3. How do I retrieve files (preferably removing them from the FTP server and placing them in another location) Thanks for your help ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Flicker in user drawn control

  I need to be able to paint my user control without flicker. I am drawing to a bitmap, and then drawing the bitmap to the screen (double buffering) However, when I call graphics.DrawImage(bmp, 0, 0), I still get flicker when the control repaints itself. I'm using a red background color to verify this. I figure that if i use a red background color in my bitmap, i should never see a white flicker, but i do. Any ideas Here's the gist of it: protected override void OnPaint( PaintEventArgs e) { // offScreenGraphics is previously created: offScreenGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(this.OffScreenBitmap) offScreenGraphics = this.Of ...Show All
