• Visual Studio Do I need to install SQL Server and Reporting Services locally to create a report server project in VS2005?

  I am using SQL Server 2005 and Studio 2005 to create reports through Reporting Services on SQL Server. This works as intended if I create the projects on the Server, but on my development computer I don't appear to have a way to create any Business Server Projects like I do on the server. Do I need to install Reporting services locally and if so, do I also need to install SQL Server locally I think there must be a better way Thanks Good question... Unlike the Reporting Services implementation on SQL Server 2000 and Visual Studio 2003, in the 2005 world the RS functionality has been s ...Show All

• Visual C++ CFileDialog.DoModal() Crashes When Hint box is about to appear.

  I have a strange crashing problem in an application developed on Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition. The crash comes during a function call to CFileDialog.DoModal(). The problem seems to relate to the "hint" box that appears if you let the mouse pointer linger over a file. If the mouse pointer registers over a file with an unregistered file type, then a hint box appears indicating the file type (e.g. ".slg file"). You then open the file with no problem. If you then go to open a file again using the same CFileDialog.DoModal() function and let the pointer linger over the file, then after a few seconds, just as the hint ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions OTP: ASPX files not working

  I just installed Visual Web Developer Express and wrote a couple lines of C# code to test things out. It ran fine and rendered in my browser. I used the "Copy Website" feature to deploy the app and try it live. I am getting " The page cannot be displayed". The Event Viewer logs the following error every time I attempt to view the page: "T he server failed to load application '/LM/W3SVC'. The error was 'The specified metadata was not found." I have Googled this and been on several forums and pretty much everything I have read indicated that my .NET 2.0 framework is corrupt or IIS is corrupt . I tried to ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro DBclick

  the dbclick event can't be effect after i wrote program in mousedown event in grid control.how can i fix it thank you A button would work, either on the form or in an adjacent column. The other way is to workaround it, but it's a bit of a pain.  You might add a timer: On the first mouse down, start the timer.  On the second mouse down check to see if the timer has been started.  If it has stop the timer and do the double click code. If the timer expires the single click code runs. The problem with this is that there is a small lag before the single click code runs and that is often unacceptable. The other way would be ...Show All

• Visual Basic Splash Screen Problems

  Using VS 2005, I am using the splash screen facility within VB and within the code, having it run some general maintenance. The main exe has 5 different screens which can load depending on the command line parameter. The problem I'm experiencing (and having a lot of feedback from users) is the correct screen loads, the splash screen unloads but rather than return focus to the correct screen, the application on screen before the program was launched takes the focus. Eg. I have Windows Explorer on screen, launch the program. The prog loads and shows the generic splash screen and within a few seconds, the correct part of my app loads, the spla ...Show All

• Windows Forms TreeView scrolling up

  I have a TreeView control that when expanded is way too big to fit on one screen vertically. I have coded drag drop stuff which works absolutely fine except for one small flaw. If I am dragging a node downwards, the TreeView scrolls down when I get to the bottom of its area to bring the stuff below into view. If I need to drag a node upwards then the same thing doesn't happen. This means that my users can't drop a node onto one which was above the viewable area of the TreeView before the drag operation started. Anybody got any ideas hi, Why are they not able to drop a node onto the top node Could you ple ...Show All

• SQL Server Executing ETL packages programatically from .NET apps

  Is there a way to execute ETL packages programatically Specifically, is it possible to manually invoke the ETL package to execute from, say, an ASP.NET application If so, how do you do that I've been searching MSDN regarding this but all I see are examples on programatically building packages. There are various ways depending on your needs: If you want to execute package in process, using object model - just load and then execute package using Application.LoadPackage and Package.Execute methods. But you'll probably want to start package out-of-process, as this method offers process isolation and thus better reliability. ...Show All

• SQL Server Exporting text file and populate it as table using SQL

  Hi, I have a problem, I have some text files in the server. I have to export that file and read it line by line and then cut it into fields and populate it as a table in SQl with SQL commnads. Could you anybody help mw with some hints, any relevent readings etc.. How can i use sql framework for this If you have control over how the text files can look like, I would recommend using the FOR XML and XML Shredding mechanisms (OpenXML, nodes() method). Otherwise in SQL 2005, I would look into CLR user-defined functions to write the parsing code in your fav .Net language. In SQL 2000, you would have to do it in TSQL or the mid-tier. Also, if ...Show All
