• SQL Server Line Graph One Data Point

  Re: SQL Svr 2000 VS.NET 2003, with SQL Reporting Services (RS) I have a graph that is requested to be a line graph, with data starting in Jan (hence one data point). The graph lines are not showing, but markers do show. Can a line graph, in RS, produce lines when there is only one month's data. If so, pray tell, how Y axis is a count of projects by Complexity levels. X axis are the months, which will range from Jan to Dec, when all the data is in. I need to show Jan results. A line chart "connects" data points. If there is only one data point at all, there will be no line. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Problem with NumericUpDown (VB.NET 2005 B2)

  Hi again from Spain. I'm working with a NumericUpDown control and i have this problem. I set a Minimun (1) and a Maximum (200) to the control. If the user write 210 in the control... automatically change the value to the maximum (200). But... i don't want it. I need to show a MSGBOX with an alert and then... allow the user to change the value by hand. How  can i deactivate this function A very big thanks from Spain! ;) The function works well, when I am changing the value in the UI. But the question is- is it possible to display the value that is greater then Max when you are loading NumericUp ...Show All

• SQL Server MDX in MS Reporting Services

  Hi (All using 2005 release) I've written a MSRS report based on an OLAP data source which is working fine in the report designer but once I have deployed it to the report server & attempt to browse it I get the following errror: An error has occurred during report processing. Query execution failed for data set 'DataSet1'. Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '{'. Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'Tbl Acc Codes' It seems to be pointing to an mdx error although I've constructed the query just by using the drag & drop tool. Are there any known problems with MSRS & MDX & if not can any of you MDX guru ...Show All

• Windows Forms UpdateAsync() hanging

  In using the example code from MSDN for programmatic update, my code gets to the async call, but fires no events. I changed the async code for checking for an update to synchronous code and it works fine. But then the call to UpdateAsync() fires no events and downloads no bits, even though it knows that there is a new version. The synchronous Update() function works fine, though. Naturally, I want async so that I can get the progress notifications and give my user a progress update during the download. Some code... (splashScreen is a windows form that is open, non-modally, during startup. updateCheckComplete is a boolean flag that I use ...Show All

• .NET Development Check if Assembly is already loaded into AppDomain

  How can we find whether a Assembly is already loaded into a AppDomain or not Thanks, Suresh. I would verify that your assembly is correctly named and that the type name is the fully qualified path to your class.  It is possible that either the assembly you are referencing isn't the one containing the type or the type name is not fully qualified.  Either one will cause a problem.  If they are accurate then look at the list of loaded assemblies through the debugger to verify that the assembly you expected was loaded.  If that works then try a direct call to Activator.CreateInstance to see ...Show All

• .NET Development Sockets: two way comm. and extended conversation?

  My ideal is to have a continuoulsy open connection where either system can initiate a conversation, and that conversation can consist of multiple sends and recieves. The simplest socket connection is delightfully easy: client.connect stream.write stream read But that is only a single call + response.  Is is possible to have multiple write + read pairs in some kind of loop   All the examples I have seen always close the connection.  Is this required, or is it really just for resource conservation Finally, if I want either system to be able to initiate a conversation, is the only solution to have both systems running both ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Trust Warning

  I had already posted this in my Trust Load Customization post. I've tried so many things my head is spinning. I need more help and wasn't sure exactly where to post this follow up in my original post. I'm getting a warning that says "The assembly must be granted full trust before the solution will run. For more information see Help." It seems that the trust issue relates to the spreadsheet and not to my vb.net code (I think). The application runs in debug mode from within VS. It also runs if I run the Excel file that lives in the Debug folder. Since I've barely started it, I haven't tried to make a deployable application. ...Show All
