• Visual C# Forcing printer to print in landscape

  I have a webbrowser control which is passed a url to display (which works fine) a Reporting Services 2000 report. I want to be able to print the report with just one button click but the report needs to be printed out in Landscape mode.  If you go in manually and set the printer to Landscape it works fine but this wouldn't be acceptable.  I have been using the webbrowser.print method. I have tried using the PrintDocument class (which allows you set Landscape mode) but it doesn't seem to be compatible with HTML which is basically what the report is. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I am using VS20 ...Show All

• Windows Forms Application Settings Upgrade

  From what I have seen, the application settings do not migrate from one version of the application to another. I have read about AppSettingsBase.Upgrade() but I am not sure how to apply it. Should the application call Upgrade() each time it is started If not, how should the application handle the transition between versions without requiring end-user assistance and assuming the settings are the same between versions. Thank you, Valentin There is a known issue with ApplicationSettingsBase.Upgrade in Beta2, fixed in later builds. Issue : ApplicationSettingsBase.Upgrade() throws an exception. Details : If the new ApplicationSettingsB ...Show All

• SQL Server Attribute Relationships in Project Real

  Hi, I'm just trying to dig a little bit deeper into attribute relationships... The documentation of Project Real is a quite interesting read... So if you have a look at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/realastd.mspx  (the technical drilldown for Analysis Services) or even better http://www.microsoft.com/technet/images/prodtechnol/sql/2005/Images/realastd02_big.gif  you find an example how to construct attribute relationships. But here's my problem: do I have a problem in understanding attribute relationships or doesn't  also Microsoft know how to deal with them Why are Fiscal Year/Qtr/Period lis ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Vista networking

  Not sure if this is the right place to ask, please redirect me if not. I have just installed the Vista beta and can't connect to the LAN or the internet. the adapter is detected and working properly. It is configured for a static IP. I know that those settings are correct. I have turned off the windows firewall and still can't connect to any server resources. I am not trying to connect to a domain, just access a shared server. The server has the same username and password as the Vista PC. I have tried to ping the servers and the request times out. I previously had XP installed on the same machine, with all the same IP settings a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Array Help Docs Wrong

  The c# help docs say you can declare an array with an initial value like this: int[] myIntArray2 = new int = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}; However this will not compile, you have to use the following method int[] i = new int[2] {1, 2}; I tried to report this through the help docs comment, but could not get it to work. That example is definitely incorrect. Single dimension arrays are initialized using either one of these two forms: int[] a = {0, 2, 4, 6, 8};             int[] a = new int[] {0, 2, 4, 6, 8}; But I cannot find the statement you mention in our ...Show All

• Visual C# server client data send problem

  Hi. I am able to successfully connect the client and server together using the Sockets/tcpclient/tcplistener and able to send messages between each other successfully. the problem is this: when the client sends "[-]RF[-]" to the server, the server checks the incoming data, if it is "[-]RF[-]" then it sends back to the client the file name, for each file in the current working directory of the server. after each filename, it sends that name back to the client, the client should recieve it... and it seems to do this. however, it seems as if the client is recieving this in 1 big long string. This is not what I have told the server to do: SERVE ...Show All

• SQL Server AggregationFunction = None

  Hi, this is what I find about the AggregationFunction "none": No aggregation is performed, and all values for leaf and nonleaf members in a dimension are supplied directly from the fact table for the measure group that contains the measure. If no value can be read from the fact table for a member, the value for that member is set to null. I understand that there will no calculated aggregation (this is quite obvious). But how can I retrieve a aggregation from a fact table How should I design a fact table including aggregates and how do I work with that Thanks, Look at: http://www.sqlserveranalysisservices.com/de ...Show All

• Visual Basic Newbi for .NET

  I found that MSV6 (VB and C++) still work well on XPSP2. So I'm not sure in the future since .NET was released since few year ago. What info which I should consider to move from MSV6 to .NET Now, I'm developing on XPSP2 and 2K Server and 2K DC. VB6 is likely to work on Microsoft platforms for a long time.  The issues to consider are: VB6 support has ended VB.NET is a much better language than VB6. It is, however, different enough that I believe it's a tough learning curve initially, and certainly a lot of legacy stuff is supported, but should not be used if you can help it. The wizard to move VB6 apps to ...Show All

• SQL Server Breakpoint doesn't work

  I've got a breakpoint in a script task. The script task executes successfully but doesn't break. Short and sweet this one. Anyone any idea why it might not -Jamie SSIS does not currently support breakpoints in script components. You will need to put some logging information in your script component see my post http://www.sqljunkies.com/WebLog/simons/archive/2005/08/03/SSIS_Script_Component_Debugging.aspx ...Show All

• Visual Basic Can't create new Tables, Views or Stored Procs from Server Explorer

  When I right-click on the Table node under Data Connections in Visual Studio 2003's Server Explorer I don't get the New Table node in the pop-up menu (XP SP2 and MSDE). This doesn't appear to be a database permissions issue as I can access the same database and create tables from the same security context using alternative tools (osql, SqlClient.SqlCommand, Enterprise Manager). Nor does it appear to be related to the version of Visual Studio as an installation of the same version of VS.NET on W2k/SQLServer works fine. Is the "New Table" Server Explorer pop-up blocked by XP SP2 or something wierd ...Show All
