• SQL Server SSRS NT Permissions.

  Hi all, We have an application on a remote site that uses SSRS. The site has recetnly undergone an infastructure change that has meant the migration of the database and report servers (both Windows 2003) to new domains. This seems to have messed up the NT permissions for SSRS so now, when attempting to access the http://<server>/reports report manager, it comes up with an NT authentication login box and we cannot login. We have messed about with the permissions on the various SSRS directories, but as this (SSRS) is relatively new to us all, we are unable to correct this. Can any of you please tell me where I can find outy exactly ...Show All

• Windows Forms refactoring to web service

  I have a winforms apps that uses instances of domain-entity classes (i.e. Customer, Product, etc) to bind and set data.  The forms use controller classes to obtain these references (i.e.  GetProducts(), etc), and save (i.e. Save(aCustomer), etc.) The controller classes communicate these messages to data-access and processing classes.  I would like to put in a web-services layer on top of the controller classes, and below the winforms.   So, the winforms would not talk directly to the controller classes, but instead use web-services to send and recieve data.  The web services in turn would use the controlle ...Show All

The 2nd question: "VC# is better for DirectX applications " You will need to give us more information than that. What are you trying to do (step by step) and what errors are you getting.
