• .NET Development How to install SQL Server Express as a ClickOnce prerequisite?

• SQL Server Report Definition Language

  Using VS 2005, I have created a piece of software that creates an RDL file using XML. However, although my data (though a DataView control) is showing as it should, and I can update this to create new data, I cannot get the RDL to display a variable which I change and use as a 'header text' to the report. The variable is shown the first time I display the RDL through a ReportViewer Control but remains static thereafter. The interesting thing is that when I view the XML through a third-party viewer, it shows the correct value stored in the variable. For information, I am using a child form in a MDI to create the data that is fed into anoth ...Show All

• .NET Development Search a network drive

   I need to be able to search our companies shared hard drive through an intranet page. I am not sure if this is possible. Basically I want to create a form and then when that form is submitted. I want it to call up Microsofts built search utility and then display the results. The reason for doing this is to make it easier for people to search company info by going to a form instead of a list of directories. Is this possible, any direction will be appreciated.

• Visual Basic converting a buffer value

  I am trying to add a 16bit value to my buffer. I have: b(132116) = Convert.ToUInt16(tbHP.Text) where: b is my buffer array tbHP.Text is the numeric value to add to the buffer. The error I get says an arithmetic overflow occured. I am guessing this is because it is trying to set a 16bit value to an sbyte. I don't know how to correct this. Any ideas   Troy, Is the buffer a byte buffer You didn't specify the datatype. Again, you cannot add anything larger than an eight bit entity to a byte buffer - ever.... there are a million ways to do this. dim a as ushort =   Convert.ToUInt16(tbHP.Text) ...Show All

• SQL Server rs drops first column in data set

  I started having this problem some time ago when trying to build a report using a stored procedure.  Existing reports work fine, it is only new reports that result in this error: The data set ‘WeeklyManagement’ contains a definition for the field ‘BrewNumber’. This field is missing from the returned result set from the data source.

• .NET Development response = (HttpWebResponse)httpRequest.GetResponse();

  for .net 2.0 I would have assumed that if the url that I was trying to get was not available i.e. file not found I could do response = (HttpWebResponse) httpRequest.GetResponse(); and look at the status from the response, however, if the page is not there an exception is raised response is null and I don't have a good way of dealing with this in a catch block. Based on the documentation I would have not expected a page not found to raise an exception otherwise what good is the status code property response.StatusCode = HttpStatusCode.Found I think this might be a bug. in the exception handler e.status returns a protocol error ...Show All

• Visual Basic Form Design Goes Blank when switching between code and design?

  Hi, I am running the release version of VS 2005 Professional.  I have noticed a really annoying problem.  I am developing a SDI application using a tab control to provide access to multiple pages that allow the user to input data. There are 5 tab pages and they have approximately 30 or 40 controls on each (labels and textboxes mostly and usually a single ListView, 3 command buttons and 3 or 4 drop downs). I often switch back and forth between the code window and the design window and most times I do this the design window goes white and the cursor is not busy but there is a delay of about 15 or 20 seconds before the design win ...Show All
