• SQL Server Understanding RS Security

  I have an asp.net 2.0 app that calls the Render() method on Reporting Service (web service) because I need to (programatically) save the report as a pdf. At one point, everything was working fine.  But I upgraded my server from Win 2000 Server to Win 2003 Server and I am having problems now. When the Render() method is called, I get the following exception: "The permissions granted to user 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE' are insufficient for performing this operation." If anyone can tell me how I grant that permission, I'd appreciate it. I also access the same report via the ReportViewer control (the .net 1.1) version and that part ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to use TFS best as a code-reviewer

  Hello, we are using Beta 3 Refresh of TFS along with VS2005 and the Team-Explorer. 1) I should be able to do a weekly codereview.

• Visual Studio Team System Confusion when the Merge target solution is not loaded

  Merging when the source branch solution is loaded into VS and the target branch isn't throws you off for a moment because you know there should be pending changes but there aren't any.  At least not until you load the target branch solution.  This is a rough-edge IMO.  What if I merge branches and the merge spans multiple solutions   Do I need to load each solution in order to checkin all the pending changes from within VS   I know there's probably an easier way to do this from the command line but folks are probably going to prefer to stay in VS when possible. Do you ...Show All
