  App was running fine under VS.NET 2005 B2. Clean installed VS.NET C# Express 2005 and now get to compile-run my app once, all following runs yield the enclosed error.

  Hello All. I have a "Consultation" form in my VB.NET application. It is meant to catch a history of consultation with a client regarding a project application that they made. When a client files an issue with the company they may include emails, excel documents, pdf's and even (in the future) items for systems not yet written, and so forth.

• Visual Studio Can't see the data in the report viewer

  I'm pretty new to this version of reports but wanted to try it. So far everything works fine but I can't see any of my data once my report opens in the report viewer. I did the following: 1. I created a local report (TerminDruckversion.rdlc). 2. In the data source window of the report I added a dataset of my project, DataSetTermin. This dataset only contains one table, termin. 3. Now I drag and drop a few of the data rows onto my report ...Show All

• Visual Studio Paging in toolbar off-by-one

  I'm using the ReportViewer control in a WinForms project, using Local processing mode.  On the report itself, it always correctly shows the current page and total number of pages in the report using Globals!PageNumber and Globals!TotalPages.  However, in the toolbar page navigator, the total number of pages is always initially shown as one less than the actual number of total pages. For example, I've got a report that actually has ...Show All

• SQL Server ODBC Data Source error

  As other contributors, all I am trying to do is import data from an ODBC source (spelled 'non-Microsoft data source') into a SQL 2005 table. I can easily do this in SQL 2000 with DTS, but when I use the same DSN in VS 2005 it doesn't work.
