• SQL Server Creating RS 2005 with Visual Studio 2003

  Hi All, My company is condidering upgrading to SQL Server 2005 and/or Visual Studio 2005. We may decide we want to upgrade one without upgrading the other. My concern is the Reporting Services compatibility. My understanding is that if we decide to upgrade to Visual Studio 2005, we would have to upgrade to Reporting Services 2005 because VS 2005 cannot create reports that are compatible with RS 2000. But if we decide we want to upgrade to RS 2005, we can continue to create the reports in VS 2003 because RS 2005 supports RS 2000 rdl files. Is this correct Thanks! Yes, you are wright.

• Windows Forms SizeGripStyle.Auto behaviour

     Can someone explain the behaviour of SizeGripStyle.Auto which is a value for the Form.SizeGripStyle property [Note: SizeGrip is the triangular section shown in lower right hand corner of forms to indicate it can be resized] According to the MSDN doc it just says "The sizing grip is automatically displayed when needed." What are those "When needed " situations. In the doc for Form.SizeGripStyle it says "You can set this property to display the sizing grip or have it automatically displayed based on the setting of the FormBorderStyle property" But setting the FormBorderStyle property to either Sizable or SizableToolWindow does ...Show All

• Visual Basic Does VB allow assignment of data with Row Column

  In a Table, where multiple rows and columns have been defined, CounterTable.ColumnCount, is there a way to supply data (letters and numbers) to that location An apparent solution SetColumn(CounterTable, c1) only refers to controls - is this a case of vocabulary .text never seems to show up as an option. This extreme wordiness is one of the things that bugs me about VB, seems like interior decorating with military vocabulary. Public Sub SetCellPosition (ByVal control As System . Windows . Forms . Control , ByVal position As System . Windows . Forms . TableLayoutPanelCellPosition ) Looking at definitions finds ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Usercontrol Nightmare

  I do not know what I am doing wrong but I am starting to pull my hair out. I am using VS and EID to create a quite complex UI, and I am trying to use usercontrols to encapsulate as much as I can. However... Any user control I create and put on a window or page either never renders and just shows up with the classname of the usercontrol in the top left corner, OR when you place it on the page in EID it says "Cannot instantiate <ClassName>" which takes up the whole of the page/window and means you can't position it properly (but will render when you run it). I must be missing something here, should a newly created UserControl ...Show All

• Visual Basic Assembly.LoadFrom error

  Assembly.LoadFrom error In a book I'm reading the current chapter is on reflection. The example in question gives the commented out assembly.loadfrom. If I try that I get an error that objects.dll cannot be found. But if I use the full path it works fine. Am I doing something wrong or is the author's code in error 'dll = Assembly.LoadFrom("..\..\Objects\bin\Debug\Objects.dll") dll = Assembly.LoadFrom("C:\vs2005Projects\WroxVB2005Pro\575386ch07\Objects\bin\Debug\Objects.dll") dennist685 For many if not most applications you are indeed correct that you should be able to add a refere ...Show All

• Windows Forms Global Variable in Windows Application

  I have created an MDI based application using C#. How and where can I create a global variable that can be used anywhere in the application Static variables are global. Alternatively you can add a property to your MDIParent class to retrieve your "global" variable. You can access the MDIParent from a child, but you'll need to cast the property to your type to get your custom property. -mark Program Manager Microsoft This post is provided "as-is" ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Trouble using native DLLs

  We are having difficulty using native DLLs with VS2005 in C# on a PocketPC 2003 device, or the emulator.  I would be extremely pleased to hear any suggestions on this matter. I have tried creating a simple DLL with both eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0, and as a C++ smart device DLL in VS2005. In both cases I get the " Can't find PInvoke DLL Whatever.dll" The DUMPBIN looks perfectly fine in both cases, no name mangling, etc.  The DLL is compiled for the correct processor.  The DLL code is extremely simple: extern "C" _declspec(dllexport) WORD WINAPI TestMe(WORD InVal) {  return InVal + 1; } The function above is a ...Show All

Joe, Thanks for answering, however a statement in a 3rd party blog hardly constitutes an answer. I have no way of knowing from whence Tom comes. I have have opened an MSDN support incident through my Certified Partner account, so I suppose I will have to pay the answer, if it ever comes. Making someone wait months for an answer could hardly be taken any other way than "blowing off your questions". Ha ...Show All

• Windows Forms Why was OCX support removed from .NET?

  (I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this.  I apologize if not.) I never really understood why this was done.  Currently I have a VB.NET single form application which is implemented as a class library with a VB6 wrapper so that it can be used as an ActiveX control in a Powerbuilder app.  The reason it's an ActiveX control is that that's how two way communication can happen between Powerbuilder and an ActiveX.  VB (6) can raise event to Powerbuilder and Powerbuilder can call methods and properties on VB. Powerbuilder calling methods and properties works fine without the VB6 wrapper; but there's no WithEvents in ...Show All
