Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Rotate Grid Control on the Z axis ?
Can I rotate the grid a 3d rotation how plz You need to "paint" the Grid onto a 3D plane using a VisualBrush. Keep in mind that you can't interact with the Grid in this form. So if the idea is to have the Grid be interactive and then rotate away, you'll need to play some tricks to acheive the effect. HTH, Drew ...Show All
SQL Server Cannot shut down VS after using report designer
Routinely when I use BIDS to work on a report design, I cannot close BIDS because I get a message box that says: Microsoft Visual Studio cannot shut down because a modal dialog is active. Close the active dialog and try again. Of course, there is no visible dialog open. I actually have to terminate the process from task manager. I do not get this problem when using SSIS or SSAS. Only SSRS. Any Ideas Thanks! BobP Myself and a number of colleagues are having the same error come up. We are only able to shutdown the visual studio by going to task manager. Still trying to find the cause, but if anyone else knows a ...Show All
Software Development for Windows Vista 2 way Communication
I am trying to build an application that uses workflow on a server and a client. I want to use WCF in the middle to handle messaging. I need to establish 2 way communication between the client and the server. I used the Expense Report sample as a bases but when I try to hook to an event on the service using remoting I get an error. Saying that the application is not flagged as serialized. Can any one help I don't have a solution for you, but I am experiencing a similar problem (somewhat similar, I think, anyway). Specifically the exception is thrown when I try to raise the event into the workflow ...Show All
Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) FrameworkElementFactory woes
I thought I saw somewhere that the FrameworkElementFactory would be getting a GetValue Method to match its SetValue Still don't see it. How does one get the property values to be set for a FrameworkElementFactory Thanks Ron Ron, Not sure the context you're needing assigned values. I've been retreiveing FrameworkElementFactory values in user-initiated event responders. The following method sets up a FrameworkElementFactory. Its a straight copy-paste, so not all of it would be relevant. void InitializeWithModel (DataContext model ) { if ( ! model . GetType () . I ...Show All
Visual Studio ReportViewer with inner join
Hi, I'm trying to create a report with two tables in which I've created a inner join in the dataset desiner. I run the query and it works fine. When I am in the report designer I create a table and then pull the fields over from the data source into the details area. I have to select them from the two tables in the data source window. When I run the report the secondary fields do not synchronize. This is where I am confused, shouldn't those secondary fields I added to the SQL Select statement with a inner join, be available to add to my report Shouldn't I only need one ObjectDataSource for my report What am I missing ...Show All
Software Development for Windows Vista WorkFlow Instance Does not Initialize
Hi, I have created an application using the helpdesk sample as a model. Up to some point it worked but now it does not. The only change has been in the workflow designer to expand the workflow whilst the existing workflow remains intact. Below is the GUI application function that is supposed to create the instance. My problem is that this line just does nothing. inst = theWorkflowRuntime.CreateWorkflow(t, parameters) Before it would step through to the workflow initialization code (MYBase.New:InitializeComponent). However each run does create a new GUID. I am at a loss to know how to debug this or work out what is wrong. ...Show All
Visual C# Can SNMP send DataTables as its VBL?
Hi people, I would like to create C# clients that will use SNMP to communicate to a C# manager and I would like to know what namespaces to call, what classes, etc. I have not been able to find C# examples on this (only WMI examples), so if anybody can give me some or give me guidance, I will really appreciate it. Also, as a general question, what will you people suggest, have the clients listenning/talking through a port and have a similar behaviour on the manager or use SNMP Thank you! Hi, I would do the exactly the same, how have you success Thanks ! ...Show All

Visual Studio Team System When I get a specific version why does the contents of Source Explorer change?
The objective of the Source Control Explorer is to display the contents of the TFS repository; is that correct Therefore the folders pane should show the current folders in the repository for my Team Project and when I select one of these folders the right pane should show the current contents of that folder in the repository. By 'current' I mean 'latest version'. Given the above, I find the following behaviour strange... I copy a specific version of my Team Project's source code into my workspace (select the Team Project folder in the folders pane, right-click | Get Specific Version). Although this does not change the TFS rep ...Show All

Visual Studio Error. Failed to load expression host assembly. Trying to use local report manually copied to mapi dir (VSTO project)
You may see from earlier posts that I'm having difficulty deploying report solutions (VS2005 B2) and VSTO. My VSTO app opens a winform report viewer. Even very basic reports (no data) fail. My last attempt was to use the report path option. The first error said the report def was not found in the dir 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033', so I manually copied the rdlc file there. Now I get another error "Processing Errors" "Failed to load exressions host assembly. Details: Could not load file or assempbl 'expression_host_601.....' version=10.2.50215.44, culture=nutral,...

Visual Studio Team System Source Control Problems upgrading Beta3 Refresh to RC of TFS...
We've been running Beta 3 of TFS happily for a few weeks. This week we upgraded our servers, first to Beta 3 Refresh - all ok. We then decided to upgrade to the latest CR. However, when we use Team Explorer on our client machines, we now get this message when we start VS2005: Package Load Failure: Package 'team foundation server provider stub package' has failed to load properly (GUID = {D79B7E0A-F994-4D4D-8FAE-CAE147279E21}).Please contact package vendor.... and if we try and switch the Source Control options to use TFS Source Control, we get: Package Load Failure: Package 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamFoundation. ...Show All

Visual Studio Team System Feature request: Right-click on a message -> "Turn off this rule"
Currently, to turn off the rule that produced a particular message, I have to click on it, look down to see its RuleFile, find this rule group in "Rules" tree, expand it, find the rule and uncheck it. Too many actions for such a common task, don't you think so Andrew, You're right this would be a great feature. I'll add it to our list of requests for future versions. Thanks for the feedback!

SQL Server Cancelling Deployment
I'm getting closer! I created a model and selected Deploy from the Build menu on the tool bar. I started getting info on the deployment process in the Deployment Progress window, but when it reached the "Processing Cube" part, it didn't make any more progress for about 20 minutes, so I selected "Cancel" from the Build menu. Then I tried deploying it again, and I got the message that the Movie db had changed since the last deployment and would I like to continue. I clicked Yes, but I only got the Command line in the Deployment Progress Window and no progress after an hour. Do I need to completely redo the project I' ...Show All
