• SQL Server ASPNET account permissions

  I am new to Reporting Services and still learning, but it is a very nice exciting program. I built a new Report and was experimenting with Grouping in reports and using the parameters. Now I would like to Deploy the report to the Report Server so I can use this report on our intranet, however I get the error that the ASPNET account does not have the proper permissions. I am sure that I need to set up ASPNET to have "write" abilities. What folder(s) do I need to make sure that ASPNET has this Or should I be looking elsewhere to set up the ASPNET account on the Report Server Thanks for the information. ...Show All

• .NET Development Remoting vs Indigo taking *nix and Mono into account

  I'm designing a distributed system (actually redesiging DCOM app).  Planning to use Remoting but Indigo is on the horizon so have been taking a look at that.   Ideally, I'd like the same code base for Unix/Linux.  I understand Remoting should theoretically work on Mono.  I've been told Indigo will never be ported to Mono because MS isn't going to license the technology to allow it.   If Indigo isn't going to be there, I'll probably stay behind with Remoting.  any comments Dave Thanks Doug.  Why did you bother typing that reply   Ya, I know MS doesn't develop Mono but it has contro ...Show All

• SQL Server Consuming Multiple Messages In Parallel from Multiple Windows Services

  Hello All, After hitting limitations in the SQL CLR world that bar us from invoking COM objects we are forced to use windows services to read the messages off the Service Broker Queues. Unfortunately we loose the auto activation feature in the Queues, but we can still read messages and perform the SQL work under one transaction. We are going to attempt to take N messages simultaneously from the Queue, though N instances of a windows service. If the messages send to the queue are one message per conversation, will we be able to achieve having N readers take messages off simultaneounsly Thank you very much, Lubomir P.S. if anyone has a bette ...Show All

My question is how do I go about inserting and/or updating an image in a row using C# I'm aware that the image type in SQL is simply a BLOB, but I don't know how to insert an acutal picture (.jpg) using C#.
