• Visual C# Question about objects behavior

  I have a Class called animation.  This Animation has a member of type Bitmap.  It also has an arraylist member that holds objects of Frame type.  When creating a frame object, a parameter of the constructor is the bitmap which is passed in as the Bitmap object that is part of the Animation class.  Some operations need to be done on the Bitmap for the entire animation and thus these are performed by the Animation class.  Some operations are done on the frame level so these are done by the individual frame objects.  Here comes the question... I pass in the Bitmap to each frame (I've tried by value and by ref) and ...Show All

• SQL Server Removing White Space

  I have created a report with a drill down button for each unique record.  However, when the nodes are not expanded (the default), the report displays with large amounts of white space (varying according to how much space is required once the node is fully expanded).  Is there any way to remove this whitespace Thanks in advance. You need to make sure you are hiding the groups, not the individual rows inside the group. Edit the group properties and set the visibility there. ...Show All

• .NET Development Loading external assemblies that are not strongly named

  Hi,   I have a project which references an assembly that is external to the application (it is not in the bin directory of the project or in a path relative to the application).     At runtime I use reflection to load the assembly from a supplied path.   The exception ‘System.IO.FileNotFoundException’ gets thrown.     The external assembly is not strongly named and so I cannot use the ‘codebase’ tag in the configuration file to specify the path.     Is what I am trying to do impossible   Any help will be greatly appreciated.

• SQL Server OK button not working...

  I am trying to get MSSQL Reporting Services working. I have used it before, but now I have the opportunity to get the software entrenched in my organization. I installed the app and it opens up, but when I try to create a new folder the software will not allow the OK choice. I can cancel, but I need to choose OK.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Authorization manager

  how do you get the roles, tasks and operations directly into your AD profile we set up an store, an application, defined roles, tasks and operations. then we setup an group and the ldap query was (memberOf=<an AD group name here>). we also setup the role assignments to the group we created with the ldap query. however when I log in we don't see the group name with the ldap query in the AD memberOf. I would think we could see this information in AD. We're trying to avoid putting hard coded text into the application.. i.e. AccessCheck calls with the name of the roles/tasks/operations).
