• SQL Server Database Diagram + Reporting Services/Report Builder

  If I make a new database, why is it that VS 2005 server explorer can see it, access the tables and stored procs, etc ... but when using Reporting Services/Report Builder after I make the data source and generate the model NOTHING APPEARS in Report Builder (message about "there is no content in this data source").. now this has been driving me nuts for a few days and the solution was to click on "DataBase Diagram" in Sql Managment studio for that DB and say "Yes" to the dialog that appears My question is why is that the case Carl ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) SVCUTIL.EXE Error

• Visual Studio Express Editions quick console error?

  hi, my program compiles and builds well but when it is run, the quick console gets stuck at getchar(). it even though i input something into the console (upon a request for user input), the getchar() doesn't seem to take in my keyboard input at all. any idea what's wrong with the quick console on this and what's the difference between a "quick" console and a normal console thanks! -gab Dear Luke, My main purpose of using Visual C++ is writing small win32 programs, and coming from an embedded world, printf() is still my favorite debugging tool. Did you consider just making the quick console output only It's a very usefull feature. T ...Show All

• SQL Server Capturing rows inserted from bulk insert

  Is there any way to capture the count of rows processed by a bulk insert task A property perhaps I can run queries post import but would prefer it if there was a way to capture that number directly. It was something we had in the old DTS as the package ran. Anything we can do to discover it in SSIS Paul Pisarek That's right. We're working on a sample that parses the string and creates a report from it, hopefully should be available to you soon. But, yes, parsing the log is the right approach. ...Show All

• Windows Forms TabControl TabPage question

  Is there some way to access the handle of a tabpage's 'tab' (for lack of a better term, there does not seem to actually be any object exposed that corresponds to the 'thumb' of a tab page). The reason I ask is that I wish to implement a context menu for that 'window', if it is one...I have the tab page itself completely covered by a docked custom control, and the tabpage itself does not get the focus. Another problem is that right clicking the tab page thumb does not select the tab page (although it will raise the context menu for the whole tabcontrol), so, for example, if you want a context menu that has a 'close tab' item, you will not be ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Use Customer VB Functions with FoxPro

That's where things get a bit confusing due to Microsoft using poor terminology in the VB community. They call COM DLLs, "ActiveX DLLs". ...Show All
