• SQL Server Dynamic Connection string (config file)

  Hi, I have a web application (.NET 2005), which reads data from a multi-company database either SQL 2005 or Oracle. The company_id and connection string and other information is specified through a config file. I need to display the report from the click on a menu item. The developers design the reports using Report Designer and store the RDL file in a designated folder (configured in the config file of the website). On the click of the menu the page (.aspx) page accepts values for the parameters of the report. 1. In this scenario, can these parameters, company_id (from config file) be passed to the report (which is already de ...Show All

• Windows Forms bound combo not set when selection made using keyboard

  I have a usercontrol that includes a combobox. the usercontrol exposes DataBindings , text and selectedvalue properties for the combo. the usercontols text and selectedvalue properties are bound to a datasource. The combobox (in the usercontrol) displays my data correctly and the dropdown is also filled fine. If I use the mouse to select a value, it works perfectly. If I use the keyboard (tab onto the control and arrowdown to select), when I try to save the record, it says that the column bound to the text property is null. As I said though, it works fine when using the mouse. Is this a bug or do I need to expose more properties for the comb ...Show All

• .NET Development VS 2005 RC1, VS 2005 Beta 3?

  I noticed that there was a beta3 release today. Why is there a Beta 3 if a Release candidate is already out   this is rather confusing...should we be expecting any features in Beta 3 to be included in the release, or should we stick with RC1 also, i heard there is a tool to automatically uninstall previous beta version.  Can someone point me to that tool thank you Hi, Its not a Beta 3 of Visual Studio 2005 but the Beta 3 of Team Foundation Server. Release Candidate 1 is the most recent edition of VS2005 and there will be no Beta 3 for VS2005. Here is the link for the uninstall tool: http://hgao888.members.winisp.net/vs_unins ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to make width of column in detail section behave

  Using Crystal Reports for VS.Net 2003, I've noticed something in the Designer is placing a border around my rows and columns of output in the report. I've tried to manipulate the column width through the resizing handles and while that seems to work there is an unwanted border being placed over the whole report via CSS. I am using an ADO.Net dataset generated with the ADO.Net Dataset Designer. I populate the dataset via a SQL Server 2000 sProc, exporting the report to PDF, and using Response.ContentType = "application/pdf" [more info follows] I eliminated the PDF aspect of this and went with straight HTML so I could "view source".
