• SQL Server Limit Report Server Access

  All, I'm looking at the possibility of allowing only certian tasks and reports to be available to users.  I want the user to only have so much control...but would like them to be able to run reports, subscribe to reports and be able to use the query builder.  We don't want the user to see all of the reports in the organization, just the reports for there specific department.  So I don't know that I want them to see the report server itself...but maybe be able to run certian features. Can this be done Local administrators on the report server machine will get read properties and read/set ...Show All

• .NET Development Associating XSD schema with XML document

  I have multiple XML documents included in a Visual Studio project. I also have an XSD schema for each type of these XML documents. I want to associate the XML documents with its appropriate XSD schema. When I do this it adds my schema to a hard-coded central repository of schemas. What I want is to specify a relative path, so that when I check my Visual Studio project in, the associations and xsds are checked in and versioned along with it. Is there a way to specify within the XML file which XSD it should use, with a relative path  Thanks in advance.   Yes ...Show All

• SQL Server 2nd Table on Report Shifts Down

  Hi I have created a report with in reporting services with 2 tables. One at the top of the page, and one at the bottom. The one at the top will contain payment details which grows depending on how many items(rows) are in my dataset and the table at the bottom contains a cheque layout - for ex. Pay Mr X, Date...etc. This table will fill out boxes on a cheque My problem is that the table at the bottom(cheque) is being shifted down depending on what's in the top table(payment items).

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Programatically Add Pages to MultiPage Control

  Can someone please provide assistance in adding pages to a MultiPage control programatically. I wish to add pages based on a user's input. Thanks for any assistance. Hi, this will do it... use the MutiPage control's Pages collection to Add a new page, the first parameter is the name of the new page, the second parameter is the caption.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Using XPS on non-Vista platforms

  Hi I was reading the MSDN article about XPS, and I'm quite intrigued. I'd like to have a go at using XPS for a document creation system on our internal Intranet. I suppose there are 2 main questions.. 1) I've got VS2005 - can I write XPS documents now Or do I need some other SDKs (eg WPF). Would I be able to view/print them ! 2) When does v1.0 come out, or a go-live license ! Cheers   Dan I think you'll need the WinFX Runtimes installed (alteast for the user) if its a non-vista machine - like XP or Win2k3. The WinFX runtimes will allow you to view the XPS documents in the xps ho ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) DependencyProperty question

  I asked this in the newsgroups, but since I have had no response I thought I would try here. I have made my own class that derives from ModelVisual3D called 'PlayfieldView'. To this class I added a dependency property called 'SlotModel' of type GeometryModel3D. In XAML, I supply a property value like this: <gp:PlayfieldView.SlotModel>    <GeometryModel3D     Geometry="{DynamicResource TorusGeometry}"     Material="{DynamicResource ERRasterChecker}"    /> </gp:PlayfieldView.SlotModel> In my class, I have overridden OnPropertyChanged and I do get notified whenever the pro ...Show All

• SQL Server MDX script to scope on all but the leaf levels

  Hi, I am trying to specify a scope statement on all non-leaves members of all hierarchies of a dimension (time dimension basically) so I would need to say something like this: scope (MyMeasure, not leaves(TimeByDay));    this = (MyMeasure,timeByDay. currentHierarchy .currentmember.firstChild); end scope; Does anybody see a way of doing this without explicitly repeating a scope statement for each implemented hierarchy.level-above-leaf like the one below scope (       {[Measures].[RG Queue State],[Measures].[RQ Distinct Queue State]},       [Processed Statistics Peri ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office WebService as DataSource for ListObjects

  Is it possible to use a WebService as the datasource for a listobject in a managed excel workbook Most samples are using datasets. When I create a datasource from a WebService in Visual Studio 2005 it only shows up as a WebServices Reference, not as a datasource. Thanks! If your web service is returning an object that implements IList, it can act as a datasource for the ListObject.  What is the type of the return value from the WebService ...Show All

• .NET Development Exception: DataTable internal index is corrupted: '5'. on ...

  Hi, I have a problem with bindingsource component in framework 2.0. I have a combobox bound to a bindingsource which is also bound to a dataset with 2 related tables and a datagridview bound to the same bindingsource. What I want to do is : When the selectedindex property of my combobox changes, the corresponding cell value must be changed in the datagridview. But although the value in bindingsource changes, datagridview does not display the new value. That value is displayed after I move the mouse over that cell and make it invalidate its region manually. Another error I caught is the one that you can see as the subject of my po ...Show All

• Visual C# Is there a 'wizard' for overriding a method or property

  Apologies if I'm being dumb, but can anyone tell me if there's any way the VS IDE makes it any easier to override a method (c# or vb). At the moment I'm having to find the method signature, copy it in and override it by hand. I'm sure that somewhere I found a way of getting the IDE to create the override for me, but maybe I dreamt it. It would just save a lot of typing and looking things up, especially when inheriting from a system class or an external class library. Ta, LJ John - The C# IDE will autocomplete an override.  Try this: public class A { protected virtual void foo() { } } clas ...Show All
