• SQL Server Problem with valid owner

  I have just downloaded the MS SQL Server Management Studio Express, and are following a tutorial on www.learnvisualstudio.net Now I am having trouble with some owner information.

• SQL Server prompting for date range parameters with Report Builder?

  Hello, I am trying to create a report using Report Builder (not Report Designer) that prompts the user for a Date range to filter on.  The problem is that once I change the filter to be a "From...To" parameter, it removes the "promptable" green question mark icon from the filter condition.  I can't click on the field and get the "Prompt" option either.  I only see "Edit As Formula" and "Remove Condition" in the context menu when I set the date filter to a "From...To" filter.  Is this a limitation in Report Builder I have found that by using both the "On or After" And "On or Before" I can mimick this functionality, ...Show All

• Visual C# Unnecessary Namespace in Designer code

  I have a C# project which includes a dataset.xsd. I have placed an instance of the dataset on the form design view. The designer code which allocates the instance always qualifies the dataset type name with the namespace, which causes a compile failure as the form's InitialiseComponents is in the same namespace - it looks for a nested name. I can get a clean build by removing the namespace qualification from the assignment obj = new NAMESPACE.class; but of course it is re-generated anytime the design view is edited. What is the fix Regards Can you post the namespace name of your form, the data set name, the namespace ...Show All

  I am in the process of debugging a web service on my local host. Is there a way for me to see my web service function code as I debug my windows form vb application. Thanks, Fred Herring You can add the web service & the windows form app to the same solution. From the form app, add a web ref to the web service using the " Web services in this solution " option, then you can step through from the form to the web service no prob. Otherwise, you need to enable debugging or something on the web service, and I'm not sure how to do that ...Show All
