• SQL Server How to clean machine for SQL2005 Reporting Services RTM

  hi all, I am trying to get Reporting Services to install on a machine that previously had the September CTP install on it. The SQL Server part of the install has been fine and all seems to be operational as expected but the Reporting Services fails to install with the following errors: "An instance of the same name is already installed on this computer..." This is thrown out of the ValidateInstanceName func in the MSI. I am telling it to use the Default Instance as there is only one SQL instance running (to my knowledge). How do I clean up the machine so that it does not think another instance is present I have tried MSIZAP and that has n ...Show All

• SQL Server client redirect

  Trying just to figure out how this works...how does it know the other server to reconnect to What does the application see, just a SQL error and the application has to redrive the TX Can it route TX to the MIRROR and redrive it like Oracle's TAF Thanks! Hello I think you are talking about the transperent Client redirection thats available if you mirror your DB and have a whitness server available. If so, then the above feature is "only" implemented into the native SQL drivers. If you use other drivers to access SQL you wont be able to use this feature.  So basically the driver itself knows that th ...Show All

• Windows Forms ToolStripMenuItem keyboard shortcuts swallow ListView/TreeView label edit shortcuts

  When the user enters label editing mode for a TreeView or ListView control, I would expect that keyboard shortcuts such as Ctrl-X, Del etc would be handled by the label edit control. This was the case with the beta 2 framework. However the behaviour of the 2.0 release framework seems to have changed in this area. It now seems that if the TreeView or ListView's parent form has a menu strip or context menu strip, then any key presses are first directed to the toolstrip for shortcut processing. This means that if you have a keyboard shortcut of Del defined for a menu item, and the user enters label editing mode and presses the Del key, th ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do you format a datagridviewcell after it has been edited

  When I enter new data or edit data into a datagridviewcell and move to the next cell I would like the data in that cell to be formatted. I would like to enter a format by column. For example, if I enter 1458.259 in a cell for column "cost" I would like it to be displayed as 1,458.26. If I entered 4589.3589 in another cell tied to column "boxes" I would like it to display 4,589.4. And finally if I entered 05/06/2006 in a cell for column "date" I would like it to display 5/6/06. I have tried to use the defaultcellstyle.format with "C2", "N1", etc. when I first initialize the datagridview. Th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Problem creating a querry with an embeded variable when using access datafile as connection source

  When a Data Connection is established using Microsoft SQL Server Database File (SqlClient) as a data source the following code works perfectly SELECT * FROM ProdMaster WHERE (PRODMASTER.DESCRIPTION LIKE '%' + @DESCRIPTION + '%') The ToolStrip on the form opens an input box so you can type in a choice of DESCRIPTION and when the button is clicked the dataset returns only those values that meet the criteria input BUT If you use a Data Connection established using Microsoft Access Database File (OLE DB) when you attempt to establish the querry above you get the following error Error in WHERE clause near '@' .

  Iv ben programing in vb5.0 for about 2 years and i would like to get vb6.0 but i cant find it. And i dont like .net because: 1 it's not as ez to use. 2 it will not work on windows 98se Dose any know ware or how i can get vb6.0 Thanks Hi I don't believe you can buy VB6 anymore (retail at least). Your best bet would be something like e-bay. However, I personally would recommend that you look into .NET. It is definitely the way forward and although you can do a lot with VB6, there is not as much support for it anymore save for forums, newsgroups and the like. Also, Microsoft have made great efforts to l ...Show All

• Visual Studio ServerFileReport and Database Login Info changing

  Scenario: Windows smart client app and the CrystalReportViewer for windows. Using ServerFileReports to access reports through a centralized and disconnected folder location. When accessing a report which was designed against DB_DEV and attempting to change its LogonInformation through the CrystalReportViewer to point against DB_UAT, it never seems to actually use the changed information. It always goes against the DB_DEV info.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Durable and non-Durable Workflows in same Workflow Runtime

  Hi, I've got a question about supporting workflow instances that are both durable and non-durable within the same runtime. As I understand it if a workflow persistence service exists in the service container then the engine will call it for every workflow instance. If it doesn't exist, then obviously workflow instances are not persisted. If I want to have a mixed model where I could somehow 'mark' a particular workflow as durable, in other words, use the persistence service whereas another workflow would be run in-memory without persistence, how would I go about it I thought about a combined database/in-memory persistence service, h ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Could some one tell how to test mixed c++?

  As MSDN said: A mixed project is a project that uses the /clr compiler option. This kind of a test project provides the ability to test the following production code: Static native libraries Native DLL entry points Standalone .obj files Mixed-mode DLL assemblies with methods that are callable. This does not include executable files because they contain unmanaged code, and unmanaged executable code is generally not re-base address enabled. Any managed method that is callable. This is code that is compiled with the /clr:pure or /clr:safe compiler option. It said we can use Static native libraries or Standalone .obj files ...Show All

  Hi: I have been working at client work station with BI Intelligence Studio but i want deploy the project in server machine, but my windows credential don't have sufficient privilege for do it. However i know the server credential for do it but i can't find the project settings for do that. The account you connect to the AS server as will need permisions to deploy the database. In the Windows Start menu, you can right-click on the BI Studio item and select Run As... and this will give you the option to run the UI under a different windows use account. This account does not necessarily need permiss ...Show All
