• Visual Studio VS code generation

  I'm working on custom Designer. This designer must generate code files with partial classes definition (like Form designer generates Class.Designer.cs) in C#,mC++,VB,J#. I have no problems with generating Class prototypes (using DTE CodeModel) The question is: Is there any VS classes that allow me to parse methods: for I need to generate something like Initialize methods of Form designer. The designers that ship with Visual Studio all use the CodeDOM to produce their output. The CodeDOM is more flexible in generating code, but not as good as parsing code. Craig ...Show All

• SQL Server SSRS Upgrade

  Hi, I had a MSRS 2000 Installation working just fine. It was a two server installation with the IIS on one server(webserver) and the database(ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB) on the other server.

I ugraded the Database Server first to 2K5 and then upgraded the Webseerver for the ReportingServices only(by selecting Reporting services in Setup) the setup finished successfully. what I found was that the MSRS 2K has not changed at all, It still shows me the 2000 Interface .

• .NET Development Oracle 8.0.6 connection in VS 2005

  For my projects in Visual Studio 2003 in my connection strings I would use the MSDAORA (MS OLE DB Provider for Oracle) provider and it worked fine.
