• SQL Server Configure Report Server with SQL Server Express with Advanced Services.

  I'm having a world of trouble with the Reporting Services Server. The install went fine. I went in to configure the Report Server and when creating the Report Server and the Report Manager virtual directories I get the following error: "The virtual directory could not be created. The previously set virtual directory will still be used." The problem with this is that I have not previously set a virtual directory. When clicking on the link I get the additional error information: "System.IO.FileNotFoundException: at System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHRInternal(Int32 errorCode, IntPtr errorInfo) at System. ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do I get a Winforms application embedded in an html page to bind to 1.1 Framework

  I have a winforms application that is embedded in an html page with an object tag [1].   Our application works correctly under 1.1, but not 2.0 (we get some interesting security exceptions around statics, so I would like to force it to run on the 1.1 Framework. I added the requiredRuntime element to the startup section of the webclient.dll.config file [2] and expected that it would be started against 1.1 Framework.   However it still gets launched with the 2.0 framework. Other details: 1) The IIS logs show the webclient.dll.config being downloaded. 2) We have a pair of applications launched over the web (via an href[3]) – wit ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET Runtime

  I have an application that I distributed to a windows 2000 server machine with only the .net runtime on it.  The application would not even start.  I created a quick form program with a label where the text was just "Hi".  Built the installation, installed it on the server and it wouldn't start.  I downloaded the .NET SDK to the windows 2k machine, installed it and the aplications ran fine.  What am I missing in the installation build that would cause this to happen I agree that it general installing the SDK shouldn't affect whether your app runs or not.  I don't know exactly w ...Show All

• Windows Forms global mouse hooks in .net

  Suppose a process notepad.exe has started. I like to know how to detect a period of inactivity of a user for that process, for instance how long the user has not entered anything into notepad.Maybe System.Diagnostics can solve this problem but i did not find much information on the websites.Hope to gather some advice here. Thanks a lot G_Zola, Have you found a solution to your issue I'm don't believe the current APIs in System.Diagnostics will be able to help.

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 SP1 installation hangs at authentication verification

  After the installer has asked for authentication mode and has started verifying the authentication it simply hangs. I've let it sit there for an hour before taking the installer forcibly down but nothing seems to be happening except for two osql.exe processes showing up in the task manager. I've tried both windows authentication and SQL server authentication but the outcome is always the same. At the same time I'm, however, able to login to the database engine and all services with management studio using both authentication modes.
