• Visual Studio Execution session has expired

  I have a web page that uses ReportViewer web control to connect to a remote SQL 2005 report server to display reports. Once the report has been displayed, I am not able to export, refresh or navigate to the next page using the reportviewer toolbar. I get the following error: Execution session has expired Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

• Windows Forms Binding Navigator Problem

  Hi, I was wondering how you see the code for the previous, first and delete buttons on the binding navigator. The reason being is I run my application and the user presses the + button which displays a new record but if they then press the previous or first record button the program crashes with an unhandled exception. This is because there are fields in the new record that are required. I have put in a try catch for the Save button click event as I can see the code when I double click the Save button. I can then handle the exception gracefully by displaying the error message to the user via a status strip label if fields are required ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSS 2005 + Visual Studio 2003 using internet connection to database

  All, My scenario is that a team that previously developed in the same physical location is now globally distributed (US, UK, eastern Europe and Australia), but code maintainance requires that we can access the VSS source database. We originally developed the product using VSS 6. I can connect to the server that hosts the database via VPN, but performance is unusable - I gave up trying to "Open from source control" when it hadn't completed after 2 hours. I am looking into using VSS 2005's internet connection option for a performance improvement. I have installed the product on the server, and configured a copy of our source ...Show All

• .NET Development Configuration data writable by all users - even non admin - how?

  Where can you store machine wide configuration data that all users (even non-admin users) can write to   All Users seems to allow everyone to read machine wide data but only admins can write to this location.  Does Vista address this hole You're preaching to the choir.  We have a team that is looking at modifying the permissions on a registry key that they install under HKLM to give everyone write access.  That doesn't seem like a good idea to me.  OTOH I understand their use case.  They have configuration data that is stored for a couple of pieces of hardware hooked ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Types not checked if they have the GeneratedCodeAttribute.

  I have written a custom rule that validates the schema namespace of typed DataSets. I also have a custom rule that makes sure that there aren't any "invalid" characters in the DataSet column and table names. In FxCop 1.35 Beta 1, the Check(TypeNode type) method doesn't ever get called for the typed DataSets. I removed the GeneratedCodeAttribute from the typed DataSet and the Check(TypeNode type) method was ran as it did before 1.35. Is there some way to get my rules to run again If there isn't, I suggest adding some way to enable checking (default to not is fine). For the time being, I will probably just implement the Check(Module mo ...Show All
