• SQL Server Error when deploying Report Model

  I installed SQL Server 2005 on my laptop, this also contains my SQL Server 2000, so I couldnt use localhost and I used CreweAlex/SQLSERVER2005 as the hostname. What do I need to fill in the field: TargetServerURL Because when I type http:\\localhost\ReportServer it doesn't work (as mentioned in the tutorial which I am following), also CreweAlex/SQLSERVER2005/ReportServer doesnt work. I tried all kinds of combinations, but nothing works. Everything is installed on my laptop, also the Reporting Server. Thanks for the quick respons, but I still get an error: Connection could not be made to th ...Show All

• Windows Forms MainMenu Designer - Microsoft.VisualStudio.dll in VS2005

  Hi I would like to continue with the MainMenu class in .NET 2.0 and VS2005, but the Designer doesn't work anymore. If you use the menu designer it now suports the MenuStrip instead. If I look in the assembly references for the tools that VS2005 uses the Microsoft.VisualStudio.dll (which hosted the Designer for MainMenu in VS2003) is still included, but I can't seem to use the Designer anyway. Any ideas The reason, by the way, that I would like to continue with the old MainMenu is that it is based on Win32 HMENUs and I need to exchange it between managed and unmanaged code. Thanks ///Jorn I just tested this ...Show All

• Visual C# Bitmap(string) constructor throws ArgumentException

  Hi I'm trying to create a bitmap on the fly from an on disk image resource (PNGs in this case). I can create one fine, but when i try to create the next one the Bitmap constructor throws an ArgumentException with the message "Parameter is not valid". The weird thing is that the second image (Pan2.png) is an exact duplicate of the first image (ZoomExtent.png) which creates successfully so there is no difference between the dimensions, color depth, format, etc of the two images. Here's the suspect code below: this .tsbFullExtent.DisplayStyle = System.Windows.Forms. ToolStripItemDisplayStyle .Image; this .tsbFullExtent.Imag ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Integration between WSS and SPS

  We want to start with Team System in our company, but we have some questions. We have an Sharepoint Portal Server installed for our intranet and we can add Project-sites. The Project-sites are for different development environments and not just Microsoft. We want to integrate Team System (Windows Sharepoint Services) and the main Sharepoint Portal Server. How can we do this - Can we create the project-sites from Team System on SPS - Can we integrate (not just hyperlink) from SPS to WSS - Can we re-use our SPS-templates for Team System - etc. The last thing we want is a seperate webserver/environment for Team System-only projects. ...Show All

• .NET Development permissions

  I don't know if this is the correct forum for this or not. IO posted it in the C# forum also... Here's my dilema: I am developing a service in C# that checks a users permissions and returns a list of permissions to a client application. The admin needs to be able to easily and intuitively change a users permissions. The permissions that are associated with a user in windows (for example, full access, read only, etc.) is exactly what I need and is a great solution, however I need a few more permission options that are not offered in the OS. There are certain functions in the client applications that only a special few have priveledges ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Custom Properties and SQL Persistence

  Hi, Is there a way to access a custom property of a given workflow instance via the SqlPersistence stuff or does each workflow need to be loaded via the runtime and queried that way I'm writing a very basic State Machine workflow to model an document approval process which will run under ASP.NET. I'd like to create a "Pending Approvals" kinda page where managers can get a list of their pending approvals. The workflows have custom properties to indicate document name and manager name. Hacking the Workflow Monitor example I've got the SqlTrackingQuery stuff running but rather than displaying the workflow type I'd like to show some c ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How do I remove old team build statuses / information?

  When I first setup the solution, my team copied in the code that we had been working on, I created the team build, and all is well... however - Now, when I view the quality indicators report, my day-to-day code churn is flat-lined at the bottom of the report, because my first build had 733,171 lines of code... My daily 1,000 - 2,000 code churn is basically off the scale. Any ideas on how to remove the information from the first build so this report actually becomes useful I know that I can remove the builds from the filter, but is it possible to actually remove that information all together Hi Scott ...Show All

• .NET Development Increasing the runtime heap?

  Hi I've got an issue with OutOfMemory exceptions occuring in an application. I know the gen 0 heap size is based on the L2 cache of the CPU running the system, but even when I try to run my process on a system that has a megabyte of it, it gets the exception not even halfway in. Normally, I'd just take it for granted that I was wasting too much memory too quickly, but the problem is - I need all of the memory I'm trying to allocate, and I need it all right away. Even if I insert GC.Collect(); GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers(); GC.Collect() and a Thread.Sleep(500); into my allocation loop, not enough is being collected for me to continue on. S ...Show All
