• Windows Forms Background thread accessing main thread controls

  Hi, In my form load I am creating a background thread which listens on a particular port for some message. When a message is received, I have to refresh the form display for which I have to access some controls of the form's thread. When I try to access these controls I get a cross threading exception.

• SQL Server How to get schema name/ owner name ?

  Hi, I have an application that uses SQL-DMO to list object properties. Due to user-schema separation in Sql server 2005, sql-dmo returns owner name as schema. How to get the owner name or schema name of an object using SQL-dMO Regards, Praveen SQL-DMO has been made backward compatible, and does not know the difference between a SQL Server 2000 owner-schema and a SQL Server 2005 schema. As we do not plan to expose SQL Server 2005 features in SQL-DMO, this will not be possible. In SMO the collection of schemas is exposed through which you can infer ownership. ...Show All

• .NET Development No connection cold be made.. Final resolution needed.

  Now after all the technical issues are resolved, the socket is created, the parameters are set I am facing a fundamantal issue. I kind of suspected from the outset that this could be the case and now I actually hit the wall.

• Visual Studio Trouble with Report Printing VS 2005

  I am using VS 2005 and trying to show a crystal report (built in VS 2005) on a web page. While the report shows up, it is missing all toolbar images as well as charts.

But isn't this a defect I should be able to simply create the Crystal Viewers virtual directory on my site and the viewer should automatically find the files. I'm having to set several properties on the Viewer control (like CSS Filename) as follows: ~/../crystalreportviewers115/css/default ...Show All
