• .NET Development IIS6 - creating multiple websites

  Hi I have trouble creating multiple websites on IIS6.. When i create a new website with a hostheader newsite and some random port different than the one default website is using .. the website doesnt seem to work... the error i receive is Bad request ( hostname)..... though i try to run it through the http://ipaddress:port #.. its a windows 2003 server machine... any leads on this issue are appreciated...

• Visual C# Connection

  Ok. I know this isnt the right forum for this, but i've asked this question everywhere. I want to know the C# code for connecting to a remote computer and sharing files you could say. Basically, I would like to know how to connect to a server that is on my computer. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

• Visual Studio Team System Can the Project Portal web site upload documentation?

  Hello, Before I make the effort of installing TFS, I was just have a question about the project portal system. Is it possible to set up folders for documentation, and give access to this folder to external people (eg development partners or even clients), through the project portal web-site Also, I'd like to allow these external people to create their own documents, or edit existing ones depending on access rights allowed (certain users can read certain documents, others can write too). Is all this possible through the portal web site or do you need to have VS to edit/create new files (in which case the Project Portal just becomes a r ...Show All

• SQL Server Adventureworks sample reports

  Newbie Q. Can I view Adventureworks sample reports with SSX Storefront Thanks. Sorry - what is SSX   Regarding Storefront - do you mean these folks: http://www.storefront.com/ What is it you're trying to do  Do you mean can you deliver reports to be printed using a standard online printing solution    If so then yes it is possible.  No we can't do it out of the box, but you can write a delivery extension to send report output to the online service provider if they expose an API for submitting requests programmatically.   You can learn about delivery extensions here: ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB6 upgrade to VB 2005 failure, could not find project file it created

  Help me, oh wise one. I support applications in VB6 and VB2003, and I'm trying to upgrade the VB6 app to VB2005, so I have three versions of Visual Studio on my pc. I ran VS2005 and opened the VB6 app to launch the upgrade wizard. It seemed to run fine until it threw an error saying it could not find the project it just created. The project I'm trying to upgrade is called MGxFromSAP.vbp. The error said it could not find MGxFromSAP.vbproj. The project file it actually created is called MGxFromSAP.vbproj. vs7.vbproj .

• Visual Studio Crystal Reports and the VS IDE (toolbar align lefts, rights, etc..)

  Why, when designing a report, the toolbar with Align Lefts, Align Tops etc is greyed out, but right-click align lefts does work Anyway to add those features to a toolbar in the IDE Carl Hello Carl, It looks like our report designer doesn't support the Layout tool bar.  I'll try to find out why, but since it is a low priority it may take a while to get an answer.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. CreateFontResource/AddFontResorce issue

  I use the CreateScalableFontResource (et al) API calls to make use of a font that I distribute with some of my games that are in C++ (not using DirectX) so I am familiar with how it works. However, when I try to do the same thing in C# with Managed DirectX, it doesn't work. I am not sure if the issue is on the C# (.Net) side or with the Managed DirectX code. The function all execute successfully, but when I attempt to create a font using the name of the new font, it doesn't find it and uses an existing font. If I manually install the font file, then it is recognized, so the code using the font is working. It seems that Windows is not b ...Show All
