• Visual Studio Express Editions Express install lockup

  Hello! I've downloaded the visual c++ express installer only to find that it locks up during its "Setup is loading installation components, this will take a minute or two" part.

• Visual Studio Team System Add user fails to add user to Portal and Reports

  I'm adding a new member to my newly created project using the Team Explorer, selecting the Team Project Setting -> Group Membership.  (This is an AD installation).  So I add DOMAIN\user, and the user is then granted access as exptected, only that the Documents and Reports shows the little red star as they are not connected.  I then managed to add the user to the portal site, which fixed the Documents part, but I'm a bit lost wrt. Reports.  Looked through the Enterprise Manager or what it is called now, but didn't find the right place.  Also checked http://localhost/Reports  and went to Settings and no roles ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Less than, greater than, equal to, date.

  Trying to get this to work. I'm trying to prevent saving over a new version of a file. I've tried >=, <=, and =. I'm guessing that I can't compare dates like this.

• SQL Server Is it possible to use third party controls for reportign services?

  Hi, Is it possible to use third party controls for reporting services, such as Dundas Chart for Reporting Services, in MS SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Thank you in advance. Goran Not sure about Dundas (though I'd expect it to have ways of tying in). Check out this link though: http://officewriter.softartisans.com/officewriter-357.aspx That's at least an example of some third party integration. There's also a new set of .NET controls that will work with existing .NET apps that you might want to look at: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/2005ssrs.mspx#EAH --Mike ...Show All

• .NET Development Where is mscorcfg.msc(beta 2)?

  I've installed dotnetfx from vwd.img and now I don't know where to find mscorcfg utility.I'm using windows xp(sp2) What's wrong with configuration utilities looks like they are trying to "shed some pounds" from the framework download (since Java is about half the size) i believe that my mscorcfg came with .NET 1.1 which was a critical hotfix for SP2 via WinUpdate - there does not appear to be one associated with the full beta SDK install (2.0.50215)...haven't installed the final release, yet (from 10/27/05) conceivably, you should be able to copy the mscorcfg.msc file from one machine to another (elimin ...Show All
