• SQL Server Problems with reporting

  Hi, I am testing MS reporting on VS 2005 Beta2 with the report file (.rdlc) embedded in a Windows application (no server involved). Previewing the report works fine, but if I want to print it, I apparently must first click on the print preview icon in the viewer's toolbar and then click on the print icon. I believe that one should be able to print a report without showing the form containing the viewer; but is there at least a way of forcing the ...Show All

• SQL Server Reporting Services 2005

  Can I install and run Reporting Services 2005 on a SQL 2000 server currenly running RS 2000 Sorry, your original message wasn't clear enough, so I thought you wanted to run SSRS 2000 and 2005 at the same time on the same machine. Evidently, you just want to upgrade. Yes, 2000 reports can be published to 2005. They will be automatically updated so they work in 2005. Once updated, you cannnot round-trip them BACK to 2000, however.   ...Show All

This message is actually from the most inner exception. The 15 or so nested "outer" exceptions reported the following. "System.InvalidOpera ...Show All

  I have 2 versions of a C# 1.1 web service that emit different WSDL, and I would like to know what I may have done to cause this change, and what effect it might have on my client apps. The original verison's WSDL contains sections for each web service function by name appended with HttpGetIn, HttpGetOut, HttpPostIn, and HttpPostOut.
