• Visual Studio ReportHeader and ReportFooter along with PageHeader and PageFooter?

  Back when I was writing reports in Microsoft Access, I made use of a section of the report called Report Header and Report Footer. I believe the same funtionality was present in the VB6 built-in reporting engine. This was useful, for example, when appending a copyright notice, privacy notice, or legal notice at the end of a report, but which you didn't want to see at the bottom of every page. This is a highly desirable capability. Is there a mechanism to achieve this with the .NET 2.0 built-in reporting functionality Thank you, --Mike This is work well but one annoying problem remains. If I hide contents in ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TypeNode.GetTypeNode(Type) sometimes throws object reference not set.

  I have a number of custom rules some of which use TypeNode.GetTypeNode(Type) in them. Before 1.35 Beta 1 I would sometimes get the object reference not set exception when I was trying to get a TypeNode for a type defined in one of my assemblies. I worked around this by getting rid of TypeNode.GetTypeNode(Type) in all of these cases. Now that I have 1.35 Beta 1, I am getting the exception on types from Microsoft assemblies. Specifically my rule checks the version information for the assembly FxCop it testing. Specifically I am looking for the AssemblyCompanyAttribute, AssemblyConfigurationAttribute and most of the rest attribute you see in th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Project Cost Control in MSF and Team System for Agile

• .NET Development Type sharing

  Is there a way to use type sharing in vs2005 With wsdl.exe i can use /sharetypes switch to do this by specifying the wsdl from where I want to share types.

  Does anyone know of any products out there that allow end users to control the layout and fields of a report without having to install any special software on their machine Hi Josh, I looked into ActiveReports and while it did look promising it seems the end-user designer only applies to WinForms.

• Software Development for Windows Vista IsExecutable

  CompositeActivity has an ExecutableActivities property that returns all child activities that will be executed. I'm sure ExecutableActivities takes into account whether or not a child activity is commented, but it may also include other factors. I was hoping that Activity would have an IsExecutable property on it, but it does not. Is there another way to determine if a single activity is executable Or could an IsExecutable property be added to the Activity class Jared, Thanks for the feedback.  I've logged your suggestion for the property back with our product team.  I could certainly see ...Show All

How can I determine whether a device is able to perform Barcode scanning from within my application Using: CF 2.0 Lang. C# Thanks Tryst How do you usually interface with the barcode scanner Presumably by using a SDK/DLL supplied by Symbol.
