• SQL Server Visual Studio 2005 Reports are not deploying at SQL server 2000

  I have converted reports designed in Visual Studio 2003 to Visual Studio 2005. The reports are running fine when I preview them from Visual Studio 2005. I am getting error message “The attempt to connect to the report server failed.   Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible version.” As soon as I try to deploy these reports, I am deploying these reports at SQL server 2000 report server. Please let me know if reports in VS 2005 can be deployed at SQL server 2000 Report server. The data source of the report is not important, it is the version of Reporting Services deployed. The VS 2005 report de ...Show All

• Visual C# RC1 compiler slower than Beta 2?

  We've moved our Beta 2 project to RC1 today and noticed that it is taking much more time to build in RC1 than it did in Beta 2. We are using the same hardware (brand new computers) we were using in Beta 2 but we've done a clean Windows and RC1 install and the slow performance is happening in all of them and not isolated to one only. It is very frustrating to wait several minutes whenever we have to build. Why is it much slower now Is this the speed we should expect in RTM Can we do something to make it go faster Thanks, Marcelo Hi, I recommend you could submit this to Product Feedback: http://lab.msdn. ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView: Column error for Binary, VarBinary, LongVarBinary data fields

  Hi all, I am doing databinding with DataGridView, but some of my table coulumns have Binary, VarBinary, LongVarBinary attribute. The problem I am having is that the grid is redering these columns as Image columns, and is generating an error when the data are not valid images. I just want these columns to display as byte array, when bound. I do not want to use loop to insert rows, as this would be slow. Can some one tell me how to set this right Thanks in advance Hi Mark, Thanks for the quick response. To use AutoGenerateColumns and then remove the offending Image column and replace it with a custom column; a ...Show All

• Visual C# C# SQL and ASP

  Kinda lost... Basicly I have a webpage that is for ordering pizza (school project) and I need to be able to send the order to the SQL server. Bascily I have to take some data strings from ASP and with C# send it to SQL and write it to a table there. If anyone could tell me how to do that I would be jumping high in to the air :) I would personally create an SQL DB file with the appropriate fields needed, ie. Cust_Name, Address, Order, etc. After that, create data bindings for each textbox. The bindings will allow read and update from the SQL Database. I did a small project for class Saturday and learned about the data binding objects in ...Show All

• Visual C# Am I missing a seting in my relationship

  Hi I'm a newbie from Delphi and I am trying to build a data application. I have set up my xsd dataset but I think I might be missing something in my relationship. In Delphi when you can set relation ships the same but the big difference is when the dataset goes to retrieve the data. In Delphi a child table only fetches data from the database that relates to the parent table and not the whole table as my dataset appears to be performing. The only way I can seem to stop this is by limiting the query in my dataset to say in the child table only bring but what is in the parent table (customer is the parent table) ie. mySqlCommand ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Foundation Client - "Error in the application" when connecting.

  Have installed TFC on an XP Pro machine. Machine does not have VSTS or any VS2k5 components installed aside from TFC, .NET 2.0 and anything else TFC requires to operate. Machine is a member of the AD domain that also contains the TFS (MSVS-TFS), however the user usually logged into that machine is not a member of the domain. Somewhat against my expectations, logged in as this user, I can fire up TFC and access TFS just fine. I don't understand why, because this user is unknown to both AD and TFS, but we'll leave that aside for now. I log in as a domain user, who also happens to have God-like permissions in TFS. We can do ANYTHING with this u ...Show All

• SQL Server Values from Dimension Attributes are not displayed properly in Charts

  Hi, Using MSRS and MSAS 2005, I need to produce a simple graph with only 2 columns:  Target Budget vs Actual Spend. The source is from Analysis Services.  Target Budget is retrieved from a Dimension Attribute, while Actual Spend is retrieved from LastNonEmpty of a todate-summary type of Fact table. The values are retrieved fine.  However, when they are used as Data Values in a Chart, only the Actual Spend can be displayed properly as a colored Column, while the Target Budget display no column.  When I have "data labels" enabled, I am seeing the values fine but still no 'column' is displayed. I also tried to apply #,#.00 f ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Creating a Chat application?

  Hello I'm trying to create some sort of chat application. (server and client). But I have no idea how to start, I tried searching but didn't find anything relevant.
