• SQL Server Reporting services presentation problems

  Could anyone help me I am basing a project in MS SQL Reporting service but I am finding the web pages produced to be very poor in quality. As far as I can see Reporting services is fine as long as all of your users have precisely the same set up as the developer, which is just not the real world. Obviously the click and drag interface makes the page easy to design, but, the pages very rarely deploy as well as the preview would suggest, not to mentioned issues with users with differing screen res and browsers. The javascript to present pages taylored to the users set up is not problem, but how can I include this in a report generated page ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Change Picture's Image Dynamically By C# code

  Hello, I use Pictures (not PictureBoxes) within my Word 2003 Document to display images (mostly chart images). I add them through Insert -> Picture-> FromFile. I found it extrimally difficult to deal with WinForms controls due to the issues with their persistance.   No sample projects work for me. When document gets saved and re-opened I get the error about missed Expansion pack  and my action pane gets detached:( I wonder is there any way to set Image of the Picture (which was added Insert -> Picture-> FromFile) dynamically by C# code force I'd prefer to deal with the streams, but files would also suffice.

• SQL Server Auto scripting SPs, perhaps concatenating text fields...

  Hi, I'm trying to get the text of all my SPs saved into text (*.sql) files. My first thought was to use sp_helptext and bcp the table to a text file but this isn't working (see my other post) so thought I'd try another method. I can get the code from syscomment.text and concatenate the varchar(8000) field together in a text field. Unfortunately this isn't as easy as just text = text + newtext, how is this done Or am I doing it all comletely the wrong way BTW, I have over 150 SPs so I can't save them individually. Thanks! Nick Why don't you use EM or SSMS for that Both utilities have feature t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Action Pane disappears

  I have an Excel Template solution developed using VSTO 2005 that has controls on the Action Pane. I have a custom menu button that the user can use to toggel the Action pane on and off, and everything works fine until the user attempts to open an additional Excel file. If a user opens another Excel file from Windows Explorer by double clicking or selecting open from the context menu, the Actions Pane goes away. I then switch back to the original VSTO document, and using my menu button attempt to restore the action pane. The code displays the paction pane, but now all of my controls are missing. Here is the code the I use to toggel the v ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System VSTS Architect vs. VSTS Developer

  With he proposed changes in MSDN subscriptions and Visual Studio licensing, I now have to make a decision between VSTS Architect and VSTS Developer. As I understand, MSDN Universal subscribers will have a choice - they can either go for VSTS Architect and VSTS Developer. I believe that I need both architecture and development tools. Which out of two should I go for The information was interesting but too high-level to be really useful or answer the questions I feel most developers have.
