• Visual Studio Pulling data from a form into a report?

  I have a ReportViewer set up and it works fine.  As part of the final report, I would like to change the page header to include a description of the data.  I've got a text box on a form which contains the data that I want to end up on the report. On the report, I've placed a text box in the page header section.  How do I get the data from the form's text box into the report's text box   In Access I would do something like =Forms!FormName.ControlName, but that doesn't work here.  I created a global variable, but the report can't get at it.  I also don't see a way for the form to force a value into the report... ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Server Timeout when creating a Team Project

  Hi all, Can anyone advise how/if i can combat this issue. I have 2 work item type files, both around 90k 2500 lines in size. When i try to create a team project in VSTS the status bar gets to work items created - then the project fails, server timed out. The whole process does take around 4-5 minutes, is this due to the size of my work items or can i increase the timeout settings to avoid this The project is available afterwards and is useable. I can then go on to use the witimport tool to make any changes. However it is still exceedingly slow. Is there a recommended size for a work item if necessary i can post my work item type file.

• Windows Forms Wanted someone with a suitable terrarium for herbivore introduction

  Hi. I'm looking for someone who can introduce a herbivore of mine into the Ecosystem. I can't do it because I'm behind a NAT and it just won't get teleported out. If you have a fully working terrarium, run it a lot, your ecosystem is suitable for a not-so-smart herbivore to survive, and don't mind helping me out, let me know a way to&nbs ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Debug Error

  I have an app corverted from VS2003 to VS2005 written in VB.NET. I am using ppc2003SE VGA emulator for debugging.

• .NET Development PerformanceCounter specifications ?

  I am looking for the standard PerformanceCounter specs. Through the performance monitor application that comes with WinXP, I can see that there are loads of performance counters out there (on a WinXP machine). Is there some reference guide on those counters (at least the OS and .Net counters) Thanks in advance, Joannes I am also wondering why the .Net specific performance counters (all the ".NET CLR foo" counters) cannot be accessed in a more object-oriented fashion (like enumerations or constants provided within .Net).

• Visual Studio Express Editions My.Settings Values Read Only

  Hello All, I have a bit of a problem here and I can't seem to figure it out. My project is a Class Library. This Class Library is one project which is part of a larger solution. I have several application settings which are set up as part of the project. Within the Class Library's root class, Application, there are two methods. GetSettings and SaveSettings. GetSettings retreives the My.Settings values and sets them as various property values within the Application class. This part works fine. The SaveSettings method retreives the property values from the class and attempts to place them back into My.Settings and then execute My.Settings.S ...Show All

• Visual C# animating text and image in a deskband

  Hi, I have a deskband application, where I want an image and a text string to animate into the area, and the out again. I tried doing this with simple GDI+ programming to draw an image and a string, and then animating the coordinates for that drawing using a Timer object set to about 50 milliseconds. This gave a terrific result, with the only drawback being that the CPU takes a lot of punishment. It's ok at first, but after a minute, the CPU usage rises to about 100%. I use the DrawString() method to draw the string. This doesn't take any CPU at all. For the image (I use an .ico file) I use the DrawImage() method. This method takes ...Show All
