• Visual Studio crystal reports in c# / disable parameter prompt

  Hi everyone, is there a way to disable the parameter prompt of the crystal report viewer in c# (2005 beta2) I've got a simple report viewer, which doesn't have the smart tag to disable the parameter prompt as apparently the viewer for asp.net does, I'm loading a simple report with a parameter at runtime where I also set the parameter in the code, but still it'll prompt me for that anoying parameter and use the one from the prompt!! I didn't find any option in there (at least not in intelliSense...) to disable it... Any help much appreciated... thanks very much! Vince See the link in my previous message ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB .NET/VB 2005 Express/ VB 2005

  Hi. Ive decided to move from VB6 programming and Im not really sure where to go.. Ive got a copy of VB .Net 2003, and Ive also downloaded VB 2005 Express edition, with a possible view to getting hold of Visual Studio 2005 to program VB 2005. The problem (and confusion) that I have is - what is the difference, and which should I turn to Am I right in assuming that VB.NET 2003 and VB 2005 are different, or am I ok to learn .NET 2003 until the 2005 version comes out I know this might seem like a dumb question, but I want to move onwards and upwards and am a little confused, as I dont want to concentrate on 2003 if I'm going to be learning an ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Can't start VSTO 2003 projects anymore

  I can't start VSTO 2003 projects anymore - Excel splash screen comes up for a second but then Excel terminates (same with Word). Someone suggested in this forum that this can be due to the fact that .NET Framework 2.0 is also installed, which is the case, and I would have to give the "VSTO assemblies" full trust. But which are the VSTO assemblies I tried Office.dll, Microsoft.Office.Interop.exe, Vbe and MsForms but no luck. And should I use the .NET Configuration 2.0 or 1.1 This is really important for me since I started a large VSTO projects months ago which I have to finish this week. Thanks, Peter ...Show All

• .NET Development .Net 2.0 web app database caching

  We are creating a .Net 2.0 web application which will connect to an existing SQL Server database. We have an existing Win32 app which simply makes OLE calls with embedded SQL queries; every time we need a field we do the query again. We went this way because the database values may change during the life of the application, the database and app ran on the same intranet, and we let SQL server handle caching. For the web app, however, we are concerned about making repeated queries for the same data and are considering implementing some kind of middle-tier caching. Concerns include: How can we detect when the underlying data changes and invali ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Practical questions

  Hello all, For as far as I can see, LINQ offers key features that belong to the data access layer. (Not like the current features from System.Data in .NET 2.0.) LINQ is all about replacing existing data access layer code with LINQ code, I think. So is the true advantage that we don't have to write SQL code anymore If so, would the LINQ code be placed on the database server (stored procedures) or on the application side Would data access layers still exist And in what form Where would they reside On a (for example) SQL Server, or on the application side I could not find any 'best practices' yet on this subject. Hope you understand my issues ...Show All

• SQL Server Details of SubscriptionClass Class

  I just have a question around the SubscriptionClass class. I'm not grasping why there would be multiple rules for a single SubscriptionClass. Can someone give me a good use case for it It seems to me that since the primary use of Rules are to generate Notifications from Subscriptions. The only reason I can see then is if we used multiple Rules to generate different Notifications. However, then I would assume the Subscription class to be associated with the Subscriber and Notification, not the Subscriber and SubscriptionClass. A much-related question is: Why is the SubscriptionEventRules (and the SubscriptionConditionEventRules, etc.) a c ...Show All
