• SQL Server Configure RS in sql express

  Reporting Services Log The Reporting Services installation options you specified in Setup determine whether further configuration is required before you can access the report server. If you installed the default configuration, the report server can be used immediately.

I just installed sql express without sql developer or enterprise edition, I dont see Reporting Services on virtual directorys on IIS. I dont know how to acess the report server and configure it.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Updating textboxes by background threads?

  Hello! A small hint please! What should I do in order to have a background thread to be able to set the text of a textbox Earlier the Invoke() method was the solution, but what now Best regards, Henrik Dahl You should be able to use textBox.getDispatcher().Invoke to cause code to execute on the UI thread.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Bind to a particular row and column of a dynamic grid?

  (Originally posted in the ...developer.winfx.avalon newsgroup, but this forum seems a little more lively.) I'm new to WPF, so perhaps I'm going about this the wrong way. I'm trying to create a grid that contains a collection of objects. The number of rows and columns of this grid is dynamic; ideally those properties would be bound to a couple of properties of a custom object. The position of the objects within the grid would ideally be bound to properties of those objects themselves. A Grid allows items to be bound to particular rows/columns, but the total number of rows/columns must be static (at least, from a pure XAML perspec ...Show All

It should be similar to the data relations fields in graphic representation of SQL queries (as in Visual Studio's Query Designer) I'd like to have a similar effect with two treeviews (whose element can connected by arrows, as in Biztalk Mapper) Does anyone know if there is a third party control that allow this Thank you. ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET UI Application Crash

  Hi, We have a vb.NET client UI application which calls a number of web services. The application is intermittantly crashing completely without any evidence of an exception etc. The application is single threaded for the most part, the only area that deviates is a class managing serial port comms via win32 calls. (we do not use p invoke..) I understand the most likely cause for an unexpected termination of this nature is threading - more specifically that referencing UI elements unsafely... I can say after a very large code review that this does not take place. Can anyone provide any advice on what might be the cause or where else we might lo ...Show All
