• Software Development for Windows Vista Rulesets that define/build ASP.NET GUI

  I have been playing around with Workflow for a few days now and really like what it provides so far. Right now I am trying to find out if I can build a ruleset that will add buttons, checkboxes, etc to my web page. I have seen the example with the RulesDrivenUI, but they are just enabling and disabling fields. Is it possible to add new controls to the webform through rulesets Thanks, Currently we do not support the creation of new items as a part of the RuleSets. This is a feature addition we plan to come up with in the near future. Thanks, Kushal. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Inheriting Form Issue in VB2005

  Hello All, As usual, I think I'm doing something that's not "Kosher" in trying to inherit a form to a new Item. I get a ton of errors including data connection, etc. The solution works and builds, publishes and all that, but there seems to be settins somewhere that are pointing the inherit function somewhere else. Please Help...I don't want to redo all of those controls and buttons again on the new pages. Thanks, Elgee... PS...Any ideas on how to map the numeric keypad to a masked textbox I can't figure out how to advance the digit after a mouse click...I can only get one digit to enter ...Show All

• Visual Studio Showing crystal viewer

  I created a simple windows application that shows data from a SQL database in a crystal report viewer. I have no problems on my machine but when I run the program on other computers (using a setup package) I get blank on the report viewer. Check the default printer on the system.  I've noticed when I build a report that is set for letter size pages and I run the rport on a system that either has no printer installed, or has a non-letter paper size, the report will usually end up completely blank.  If there is no printer available to the system, I usually just install the driver for a LPT printer an ...Show All

• SQL Server How do you do multiple left outer joins???

  I need to do multiple left outer join to return search profiles that could contain NULL in them that could also be foreign keys.  I bolded the three IDs that could be NULL or have a foreign key for a value.  An example with my code would be great I've tried decyphering the many employee and company examples on the web but I haven't figured it out yet.  Right now I only get profiles that have foreign key values and it misses the rest in the search.   So NULL MakeID or ModelID no result on that item my SQL statement below.  Using SQL Server 2005.  Pretty new this to SQL and databases but so far this ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Designer and the Toolbox

  We are working on integrating the workflow desinger into our suite of tools. Our shell currently has a toolbox that implements the IToolboxService interface. When we create the DesignSurface for the Workflow designer, we pass in our root service provider (which contains our toolbox service). However, the Workflow designer never asks our service provider for the IToolboxService (though it does ask for many other services). How does the list of available activities, etc, get populated in the Visual Studio toolbox Thanks! I'm trying to create activities and workflows on-the-fly (xoml) and drop them onto the de ...Show All

• SQL Server Can you use Report Builder with SQL Server 2000 and Visual Studio 2003?

  This is a really silly question and I think I know the answer to it. I installed Reporting Services on our SQL Server 2000. It worked really well. I then read the article by Mike Gunderloy about Report Builder and that’s just what I wanted for our <smart> end users to design their own reports. I watched the presentation from http://www.microsoft.com/sql/2005/bi/BIn_Ad-HocReporting500k.wvx and was impressed. I typed http://localhost/Reports into my browser to see what would happen. It redirected me to http://localhost/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx and all looks great. The article by Mike said I had to set up a Data Model fo ...Show All
