• SQL Server Changing the port that Reporting Services 2000 is running on after activation.

  Hi, I have just installed reporting services 2000 on a non-standard port and have used the rsactivate tool to activate it. I then installed Microsoft CRM which seems not to like the non-standard port for reporting services, how do I go about deactivating the webservice so I can change the port and then activate it again Thanks I am not too familiar with RS2000, but I think all you have to do is to change the port in IIS, then change the url in the report server and report manager config files. You do not need to run reactivate again. ...Show All

• Visual Basic problems with IIF

  Private Sub Amount_KeyUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Amount.KeyUp IIf(RoundValues.Checked, convertRound(), convertLength()) End Sub The problem is that it calls convertRound() then convertLength(), no matter what the state of RoundValues is. Can IIF be used to call functions I could use If RoundValues.Checked = True Then Call convertRound() Else Call convertLength() End If which is fine but I want to use IIF. Any suggestions links are fine too. One problem with IIf is that it evaluates both possibilities, so it will indeed call both functions. In C#, you can do thi ...Show All

• SQL Server Lowering priority on thread - SQL Server 2005 (64 Bit)

  Hi all, Is it possible to lower the priority of threads running in SQL Server 2005 (64 bit) I know that the Kenn Henderson author of ; The Guru’s Guide to SQL Server series of books, have developed an extended stored procedure: xp_setpriority which does the work for 32 bit version (I presume it will work for the 32bit of SQL Server 2005). But I’m in need of using a similar work-around for 64 bit. My case is that I can have multiple jobs running on the SQL Server – slowing down the system, but need to keep an opening for a client 24/7 and not be late returning the records the client wants. If I somehow could lowe ...Show All

• SQL Server Using Notification Services for Field Service

  Hi, Is it possible to use NS to respond to a request by an end user For example: We have employees in the field that need to check inventory quantaties for a specific item but they may only have access to a cell phone or web email. Could they send a message to SQL and have NS respond with the inventory qty This would either be with SMS or an email. If NS is not the answer for this, any ideas are much appreciated. Thanks Sure, if your field employee can use their cellphone to somehow (via a web interface, or perhaps even an email) create an event that would produce a notification to their device ...Show All

• .NET Development Simple question about multiple versions...

  We know that we can run Framework 1.0 and 1.1 at the same time. However, we have not been able to find information about 1.1 and 2.0. Could someone shead some light on this I believe it is, but best to ask the experts.... Hello Jeremy. The short answer is yes 1.1 and 2.0 applications can peacefully coexist but a lot depends on which framework(s) are installed on the destination/install machine. A program written against framework 2.0 cannot run on a machine with only framework 1.1 installed. A program written in 1.1 will mostly run fine on a machine with only 2.0 installed but Microsoft has noted there ...Show All

• Visual Basic Controlling a Timer with an External Input

  Hello, im writing a vb program that is a graphical user interface for a robot. When the robot starts up it sends a command to PC telling the gui to start a timer showing how long the robot has been running. The only problem is that the timer never enables, It goes through the decision statement and says it should execute, but never does ( i put break points in after the hthe line of code where I enable the timer, and it says the timer should be enabled, I also put a set of break points in the timer ISR, but those are never tripped). Basicaly what my problem boils down to is there anyway to set off a timer from an external input. ...Show All

• SQL Server XML Datasource with null values

  I'm using a web service that returns an XmlElement as a datasource for a report.  I've found that when I run the query it only picks up the fields that have values in the first record of the XML document.  Any XML elements (like <Element />) without values are ignored when I execute the dataset.  I found that I could always get around it by refreshing my fields with parameters that I knew would return data in the first record.  This would allow me to at least pick up the field and design the report.  Once on the Report Server though, if a particular set of parameters result in a first record with a null va ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Error messages from data driven unit tests - where are they?

  I'm working through the testing walkthrough at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnvs05/html/VSTSSysDesigner.asp .  For the data driven test, when the test fails, I'm not seeing any error messages - just a global indication that the test failed.  Double-clicking on the failed test in the test results window shows a grid with a line for each row of the data table, including a pass/failed indicator - but no sign of the error message that as passed to the failed Assert()'s.

• Visual Studio Team System Team build - 'enlistment is empty'

  I have two team projects defined, and I've previously created a team build for one of them. Now, when I try to create a new team build in either team project I get a diaglog that says "Enlistment is empty.  The workspace " server " does not have any working folder mappings (where server is replaced with the name of my TFS server). One oddity that I note - in the source controll explorer, the "workspace" is named the same as the client machine, while the Team Build error dialog is griping about a workspace named the same as the TFS app-tier machine.  What's a 'workspace' in this context   Where are they defined   How can I ...Show All

• .NET Development Updating several tables

  I am trying to build a form based on a db with several related tables, in VB2005 express. The updating logic which VB 2005 express puts on the navigation bar to the first table binded to the form appears to work. When I add the update logic to the second table into the save button for the update logic of the first table, it doesn't work. The only thing I can figure out is that I need to update the second table relation not the table, but I don't know how to do this. In other words I dragged a Data Sources Datatable 'Table A' onto my form which created everything for the first table which works. Then I dragged the related table 'Table B' u ...Show All
