• SQL Server RS 2005: Excessively Long String error when printing

  I have a VB.NET 2003 WinForms application that contains a browser control to render reports within. I have a SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services instance - and through the RS site, the reports come up great, and print just fine. However, when pulling in the reports through the WinForms application, when trying to print - I receive an error. A message box pops up that says "An error occured trying to get the current window." The next message is: Line: 26; Char:4; Error: Marshaler restriction: Excessively long string. Code: 0; URL: http://svr-sqlreport1/ReportServer$QA/Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd   ...Show All

• Smart Device Development problems with WriteString and CStdioFile

  Hi everybody, while I am using file.WriteString(); with CStdioFile there is an error nobody can explain in other forums and discussion boards: error C2039: 'WriteString' : is not a member of 'CStdioFile' c:\...\mfc\include\afx.h(1487) : see declaration of 'CStdioFile' I don't understand because every other things works well with CStdioFile (for example Open or CFile::modeWrite etc.). I want to write in a .txt-file and don't like things like the little squares (for \n) in the text files. Now I use file.Write(); but here I have these little squares I don't want. The program I use is: embedded Visual C++ 4 SP4 for pocket pc and m ...Show All

• Windows Forms TopMost window only to a certain window handle

  Setting the TopMost property makes the window top of all window handles. How do I make the window topmost only for a particular window handle not all.

• Visual FoxPro Select SQL Problem

  I am trying to select records from a database to determine qualifying order over 3 rounds of competition.  I *thought* I had it working but the results are not always correct. I need to find the lowest number in the field IQUARTER from a list of runs from many different entries listed by the field RACESESSIONS, but I need only the lowest for each contestant.  If there is a tie then the highest Miles Per Hour from the field I1320MPH breaks the tie, if there is an additional tie then the first one is placed above the other, this is determined by the TIMESTAMP field. The structure of the database that matters is this: tim ...Show All

• SQL Server Create 1 connection to execute multiple Packages

  I want to create 1 connection because I have to execute multiple packages (2005). But when I go into the execute package task editor, the dropdown only ever has "New Connection".

Is this not working for you Whew, thats all i need, maybe its a bug - using June CTP. I create a new execute package task and then create a new connection for it. Then I c ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS 2005 Integration with MSBuild

  Let me ask the question and then provide some background... How much can we customize an initially VS 2005 generated .csproj msbuild project file without "breaking" the VS 2005 <-> MSBuild integration Background... Forgive me if this this overly general question has been answered elsewhere, but I didn't see anything.  I have just recently begun investigations related to migrating our existing NAnt build scripts to MSBuild for when we move to .NET 2.0.  In our current system, we ask developers to maintain the .csproj files and the nant build files.  However, only the nant build files are really important.  Our bu ...Show All
