• SQL Server Export to Acrobat

  We have a sub report in the main report and when the sub report does not retrieve any data and the report is exported to any format it is throwing the Reporting services error and when there is data in the sub report the report is properly appearing. This is happening only in 'no data' scenarios. Can any one please tell me why this is happening and some solution for this issue This font is really hard to read, so please choose a different one next time ;) Maybe you set the no-rows property of the subreport to something that throws the error.. Have you looked at the log files C:\Program ...Show All

• SQL Server Return Excel Worksheet Name

  Currently my package contains an Excel Source with a contraint to a SQL Table.  The Excel Connection Manager currently has an expression attached to it which allows it to read the variable value and this in turn loads the correct file.  This all works fine. The problem I am having is that if the Worksheet name is different to what was previously set a error is thrown. Is there anyway in SSIS I can retrieve the name of the excel worksheet and pass it into a variable to be used.

• .NET Development Remoting Singletons vs True Singletons

  We have a remoting service which provides singleton access to a collection of remote objects. These objects also need to be able to interact with each other and must be singletons in both the internal and the remote case. The issue we're having is that this leads to two instances of the object being created - one through the remote interface and another for internal calls. Is there a way to force the remoting service to use the instances already defined on the objects, or do we have to have each class in the same assembly remoting to each other in order to ensure there's only one instance You can remote the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Rename VSTS Project

  I saw another thread where you could not rename a version control folder at the root level, but, have not seen anything about renaming a VSTS project that would also rename the top level directory...any cool command line utilities to do this...I don't want to rebuild my VSTS project... I'm not sure I follow. Let's say you have c:\myworkspace\TeamProject mapped to $/TeamProject. You might be able to rename c:\workspace\TeamProject on disk using Windows Explorer or some other filesystem utility, but all you'll do is confuse TFS. Our command-line tools will stop you from performing this rename. ...Show All
