• Visual Studio Generate and open Crystal Reports for Visual Studio inside Word for further modifications?

  If (yes) then "how "   ;-) Thanks Peter I guess this is a stupid question. sorry! "i posted this also inside the vs reporting group...maybe i am more correct there..." Hello Peter, You can export a Crystal Report to the Microsoft Word format and then make modifications to the .doc file within MS Word.  These changes can not be sent back to the .rpt file though as MS Word does not have the ability to export to the Crystal Reports format. Samples for this exporting are available at: http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/cr_net_sdk_tutorial_samples_en.zip.asp ref=devzone ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Building 'work queues' based on workflow state

  Perhaps you could point me in the direction MS would recommend for building a list of workqueue items awaiting attention. The scenario is: I have raised a purchase order and started a workflow which is now sat in an AwaitingPurchaseInvoice state. I want to populate a grid with all those Purchase Orders currently awaiting a matched Purchase Invoice. It seems I have a number of options: 1) Store the state in my business object and simply query based on that – This feels wrong because I should be able to infer the state from the workflow. 2) Create a StateMachineWorkflowInstance and query that ...Show All

• SQL Server Calendar slow to load

  Is anyone else experiencing performance problems with reports that use the calendar control for date parameters   Whenever we load a report that uses a calendar it takes several seconds to fully load the form (you can see something like this in the status bar:"...ReportViewerWebControl.axd OpType=Calendar...").  This is not a serious problem, but if the user tries to use the control before it fully loads then the page throws javascript errors.  I am wondering if this is a  issue with the report itself or the server configuration, or if it is just something we have to live with. The calen ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Moving Team Foundation Server

  Our organization is in the process of redesigning the server/network architecture, but since it is a very large organization the process moves extremely slow.  My development team would like to go ahead and deploy Team Foundation Server within the current server architecture, but my question is how easy would it be to move to completely new servers when the time comes   We would like to begin using the source control and process guidance capabilities with our current VS 2003 projects, and also begin to wet our feet with VS 2005.  I realize that this is a Beta version with inherent risks, and that we need a golive license to ma ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Uninstall problem

  Maybe not the right place to post this but I cant see where else I should. I have Visual Studio Express C++ and Visual Studio Exress C# install willed. But neither will uninstall.

I need to deinstall both because I have bought Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition. Any help appreciated. Thanks! I am afraid I am having the same problem.

• Windows Forms Getting Notification when a Controls Screen Position is Changed

  I need to get notification when a controls screen position has been changed, the only case that I am not able to handle is when the controls screen position is changed due to the user moving the window. I've tried catching the Move and LocationChanged events for the form itself (using MyControl->TopLevelControl += gcnew System::EventHandler (...) but I only get the event when the window is initially constructed. Am I approaching this the right way or is there better way to get notified when the screen location of the control is changed. I really don't want to use a timer to keep track of the actual screen position. Registration of Event C ...Show All
