• Visual Studio Sorry, another:The report definition for report has not been specified

  I've gone through all of the posts on this subject and cannot find a resolution. I do the report creation using a Report Server project. Create the .rdl report with the subreport. Beautiful, works as advertised! When I copy them over into my project, rename them to .rdlc and run the project I get the infamous message in the immedite window and the subreport doesn't load. The .rdlc files are loaded as an embedded resource. I found the post that says 'if it knows where to load the main report it also knows where the subreport is'. I use: Dim hdl As New SubreportProcessingEventHandler( AddressOf MySub) AddHandler reportVie ...Show All

• SQL Server not able to login in other computers!

  I'm developing with Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, my problem is that as default SQL Server Express uses windows authentication. Since I develop in my own PC and install the software in another PC, my SQL Server Database is useless cause it still tries to log in wih my computer name and windows user. I'm using a conventional intallation project in which I include all the files (fonts, project output) that the computer should have, and I also included the .mdf file for the Database to work. I tried using SQL Server Management Studio CTP to help me create a user for my Database, but the users I c ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. frames per second benchmark for games

  Hello all,       I'm John, a newbie to real-world apllication development.  My experience so far has been in the classroom working with C/C++, no DirectX knowledge yet.  I would l ike to write a program that will allow users to benchmark games by analyzing frames per second (FPS).  My main hurdle at this point is retrieving the FPS information from the games.  I believe the answer lies in understanding DirectX programming.  Here's a brief summary of what I want to do in my program: - allow the user to start/stop benchmark process. - while benchmark is running    - gather d ...Show All

  Hello I already know that VS Addins and VSIP Packages don't work on the express editions.

• Visual Studio Express Editions C++: DialogResult and namespaces confusion...

  Hi I'm working with C++ Express, I'm new to Windows Forms and the namespaces used but not to C++.

• Visual Studio Team System Can't Query Qork Items. Error TF26000

  I'm in Visual Studio and either trying to do a checkin or just trying to run queries against work items I get the error TF26000: Could not connect to the Team Foundation Server. Check that you have a network connection and that your Team Foundation server is available. The server is available and I can connect, other things that require the server are working (for example I can check code in). Any help would be gratefully received! We also fixed this error by removing the user and then adding them again to the Team Project. It's almost like their user id in TFS was corrupt. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Error/unexpected behavior with defining/using a custom property on a user control

  I have a user control which is defined in a class called GuiSetup.  On this user control are two other user controls of the class SideGuiSetup.  The two controls are called LeftGuiSetup and RightGuiSetup.  These are all VB6 user controls; they are not ActiveX objects but rather are defined in .ctl files that are included with the project. I need to be able to distinguish between LeftGuiSetup and RightGuiSetup when I am in GuiSetup code.  In other words, when I am in a SideGuiSetup routine I need to know whether "Me" is the Left or the Right instance. In SideGuiSetup class I created an Public enum called GuiSetup ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do I get the table to accept input into a form written via a program.

  If I write to a text box via a program, the table attached to the form is not updated until I navigate to the next form record. Presumably the Form locator.position change accepts and confirms the value to the table.   The Data Table is not linked to a SQL database or MS Access but I read and write to it from text files so I can not to an sql COMMIT.   On occasion, the field will display the value sent but the underlying table ignores it. So I need an “Enter” like event to commit or confirm it in the table.   John Spencer wrote: Remco, Don't worry if you can not help here but I took a look at your s ...Show All
