• SQL Server [rsDuplicateScopeName] More than one data set, data region, or grouping in the report has the name ‘CustomerName’. Data set, da

  I have one rdl with about 7 rectangle regions, each rectangle I dragged a table inside. When I try to render myreport I get [rsDuplicateScopeName] More than one data set, data region, or grouping in the report has the name ‘CustomerName’. Data set, data region, and grouping names must be unique within a report. Furthermore, I don't see anything in the Rectangle's "Data Region" dropdown to associate my tables to it. Also, once I do successfully assign a rectangle to a Data Region (a table) successfully, I assume i can then reference fields from other DataRegions / Rectangles in other tables such as doing a summary table at the en ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista vista search technical documentation - where can I find it?

I have interoperability requirements that I want to examine urgently. I am sure it's out there amoung the tons of stuff. But I can't find it. I have tried for hours. Please help Hi there.  The bad news is that some of this documentation has taken longer to publish than I had hoped.  The good ne ...Show All

• Windows Forms Cross-thread exception (beta2) / deadlock (release)

  I have a method where one control adds another control to its control collection.

• .NET Development Hungarian dateformat does not work for a client side comparevalidator (ASP.NET)

  Hi, We are developing an asp.net (.net 1.1) application which is also used by people in Hungary. The dateformat used there is yyyy. mm. dd. (dot-space between the parts and a dot at the end). However the comparevalidator does not validate this. Also for some other countries (like  Slovak : dd. mm. yyyy) the validator does not work. I have found KB article #834330 and installed the patch mentioned, which fixes the error the Slovak, but not for Hungarian date format (because of the <dot> at the end. I cannot find another KB article which addresses this, so my question is if somebody else has this same issue and what the solutio ...Show All

• Visual Basic MenuStrip shortcuts

  Hi, I have a normal form with a menustrip docked at the top and also a richtextbox. The problem is whenever the richtextbox is in focus, some of the menustrip shortcuts don't work (Ctrl+R for example). The richttextbox seems to be "stealing" certain key events so the menustrip doesn't process them. Could someone please tell me how to correct this. Thanks, Alex Alex - You can set the ShortcutsEnabled property of the RichTextBox to False - RichTextBox has a group of shortcut keys defined by default, including CTRL+R. Note however that this will disable all shortcut keys for the RichTextBox, includi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Cannot connect to the Team Foundation Server

  I have successfully installed Team Foundation Server Beta 2 with both App Tier and Data Tier on a Win2K3 box. We only have a Win2K domain, but I read that this is not a problem and others were able to connect their VS2005 client to the TFS.

• Visual C++ File I/O : Which one to use? CFile or fstream

  Hi Jahfer! I need to write the following structure to a file in binary mode. struct EmployeeData {    char strName[50];    UINT nAge;    float fSalary; }; First you should be sure that the alignment is always the same!
