• SQL Server SQLExpress Intermittent Login Errors

  This is very strange... After installing the Advanced Services package, I started getting errors connecting to a database (.MDF) that I've been using for weeks/months. The error was something like "login failed for machine\user". After twiddling with the connection string and starting and stopping the SQLEXPRESS service it started working again. Did some more work, everything was fine, shutdown and went to bed. This morning, I am unable to connect to the database - nor any other database, it seems. This time I'm getting "cannot find the physical file" type errors. Any leads on solving this would be much app ...Show All

• Visual Studio Self-contained Embedding

  Is it possible to make a self-contained embedding as AClass->BClass->AClass At present there are quite severe restrictions on the domain models that we support.  Every class can only be embedded once; and every class that can have a shape on the toolbox must be embedded in the root class.  The consequence of this is that the shape you propose is not supported.  These restrictions will be relaxed in our V1 release.

• Visual C# Retrieving from a DataRow

  Can I retrieve a field from a DataRow wtihout having to cast it to the correct type I have a class that contains a DataTable member. The default constructor fills it from a table on an SQL server. Once created, getters return lookup items from the table, based on received criteria. The getter methods accept a string or set of strings, apply a Select on the member tables, and set a result string from the data table. For example: public string getLocationData(string SiteID, string Location) { string result; DataRow[] rows = LocationInfo.Select("Practice = '" + SiteID.Trim() + "' And Location = '" + Location.Trim() + "'"); if(ro ...Show All

• SQL Server Directly printing Report from RS without previewing

  Hi All,    Is there a way to send a report from Reporting service directly to the printer without previewing in VS 2005 web application I tried out an example which exports the report into a pdf and then sends it over to the printer but apparently it did not print.

• Visual Studio Express Editions agreed

  I am the CTO of a large Microsoft-centric tech consulting service. I have spent considerable time over the past month studying and trying out this new starter kit technology. While I must say these starter kits are a great idea, the reality is that they are so poorly supported as to make them worse than useless - they are a waste of time and energy. My take is that they can't be easily installed correctly, as I have attempted installs of each starter kit on various systems, local and remote, and nothing runs. I have wasted hours on these forums, finding an incredible number of similar postings that mirror my own experiences, but none con ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Canvas, Rectangles, ClipToBounds slowness

  We are thinking about starting a new moderately complex graphical application in WPF. But before committing to the platform, we are testing features to see if WPF can handle it. >:) One test application so far has a Canvas with ~800 Rectangles (added with C# using “canvas.Children.Add(..)”. These rectangles are movable by dragging them… implemented with Canvas.SetLeft(rect, newLeft) and Canvas.SetTop(..) from the MouseMove handler. I need some tips on how to speed this up. Currently dragging a single rectangle around causes 100% utilization with 20 FPS on a Xeon 2.8GHz… even turning down to 50 rectangles seems ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Problem with Tests after renaming project

  Hi, We ended up having to rename both the project under test as well as the associated unit test project. The unit test project used to create a binary called TestContext_UT.DLL. It now creates a binary called UnitTestTest.dll. When you attempt to run a unit test, however, the test continues to look for TestContext_UT.DLL as the storage for the test. Where to you change that information One more question, why can't I delete a test from the test list. I can disable it, there is a CUT in the menu, but it doesn't do anything As I was adding and removing tests, the test list continued to contain items that no longer existed. Thanks. ...Show All
