• SQL Server Pie Chart Legend Values

  Is it possible to have against each legend the value represented by each For e.g My legend is color coded for each value: I would like the legend to look like this: Above Intervention (20) Below Target (80) The bits in brackets are what I would like to include. Thanks You can just concat field values for your legend expression. For example, if I had a pie chart that showed sales by each sales person and I wanted the legend to show the last name and the total sales I would use this for the legend expression: =Format(Fields!LastName.Value) + "(" +Format(F ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Difficulties in getting Code coverage information

  I am testing ASP.NET web controls and am facing difficulties in getting code coverage information from my tests.  For testing our web controls, I am using the [HostType("ASP.NET")] and [UrlToTest(" http://localhost/TestSite ")] attributes in my test projects to either test a website that has these webcontrols, or dynamically add these controls to a empty test website and test their properties and methods. So my project structure is like this  c:\>     - InetPub         -wwwroot            -UnitTestWebSite   & ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS problems

  I just emailed this to my whole team, who is getting ready to switch from SOS to TFS. I made a series of changes before checking in, including things like adding a new code file, then later removing that same code file. Recap of my issues: When I went to check in, the Pending Checkins window would not give me the option to check in. It only gave me the option to unshelve. So I chose that option thinking it would lead to a checkin. However, unshelving failed because there were no shelf sets for me. I switched to Source Code Explorer. I right clicked on the top level node Cars Site project and selected Checkin. This t ...Show All

• Windows Forms Alternating cursor

  Arrgghh, this is very frustrating.  Visual Studio 2005 Windows Form designer seems to go bonkers after entering more than about 10 - 15 controls on a form.  The cursor sits there and alternates between the arrow and the reposition control cursor.  Not sure what it is doing, but the only way it seems I can get it back is to select a different running program then switch back to visual studio.  Any suggestions on this would be appreciated.  Thanx, The problem is actually in the DXCore, so Refactor!Pro suffers from the same problem.  Send an email to support@devexpress.com , tell them the problem and they wi ...Show All

• Visual Basic trouble with function prototype from vb .net DLL with array for unmanaged native caller

  Reposted in the hope some experience  and skill people can shed some insigght while continue to struggle and research. It has been easy to create a com class DLL. It worked wonderfully for all public methods and functions that have only simple data types.  Despite searches, reading, I still have dense cloud in front of my road to make available a method that passes string and integer arrays to unmanaged caller.  I even tried different explicit marshalAs, I still did not get it.      The target consume calling prototype is something like this Long lSz; String sOut[] Long lPos[] ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 incorrectly claims I don't meet minimum service pack level requirements?

  This doesn't make any sense. I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 on SBS 2003 with Service Pack 1. According to Windows Update, there is nothing left for me to install. However, I am getting this error (while installing SQL Server Express and the Developer Edition): "Your operating system does not meet Service Pack level requirements for this SQL Server release. Install the Service Pack from the Microsoft Download Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/ LinkId=50380 , and then run SQL Server setup again." When I go to the link, there is nothing there to download (it takes me to the main Microsoft download page). I meet al ...Show All

• Visual Studio Many models, one template.

  Hello again all. Some time back I asked a question about producing many output files from one model and one template. (and got two great answers) Now, just to awkward, I'm looking to produce output file(s) from a single template that reads from many models. ;) There are two possible modes for this: 1: I have a tree of models, where one model file defines relationships between objects that are defined in detail in other model files (one file per object on the root model, for simplicity). The root and child models may be different DSLs. 2: I have a flat set of model files all based on the same DSL. I want to create a single file from a single ...Show All
