• Visual Studio Express Editions Broken MSDN Express integration with VB, et al

  I have installed all of the express products, after removing the VS beta 2 from my computer as documented. Everything works except the integration with MSDN Express Library. In this case clicking on "Search" or "How to:" results in an error dialog saying "Package "Visual Studio Common IDE" package failed to load. Clicking on "How Do I", "Search", or "Help Favorites" in the MSDN Express document explorer gets the same error message or another saying "The operation cannot be completed: No such interface supported". This is very frustrating as it damages much of th ...Show All

• SQL Server Report History in SQL Reporting Service

  Hi, I am using SQL Server 2005 Reporting service. I am working on a report. I have made several subscriptions for it. Report runs according to subscription. SQL Server Reporting service also offers functionality to save report histories. Now how can I configure it so that whenever report runs according to its subscription, a history should be automatically saved If in case it is not possible by some automatic process then is there any way to set multiple schedules for history of the single report like multiple subscriptions can be set for single report. Waiting for your response. Thanks in advance. Regards, Sulman. ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005: Upgrade to Aug CTP VS.NET invalidates CLR

  I get the message that (CLR) v2.0.50215 not installed properly. The August CTP release of Visual Studio seems to be installed properly. Does this mean that both SQL Server 2005 and VS.NET have to keep versions synchronized I guess so. I might add that this is under XP 64) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Using Classes and Structs

  I am confused on using Classes and Structs. Can anyone shed light on what MS has changed about them example this code generates a ton of weird errors #include <windows.h> class CIGECORE { public :     LPSTR sAppTitle;     int iPosX;     int iPosY;     int iWidth;     int iHeight; };   That would be Gdi32.lib.  FWIW, I just googled GetStockObject, the first link is MSDN, and the MSDN page at the bottom tells you what to link to ( if you ever have these sort of troubles again ).  I tried a couple from ...Show All

• SQL Server Measure expressions and currency conversion

  OK - here is my scenario... I have a fact table containing one measure: Sales. The values of the measure are stored in the same currency (DKK) for all records. In another fact table I have exchange rates for four different currencies per day for a 15 year period (approx. 22000 records). I have built a cube around these fact tables containing two measure groups. Measure Group 1 Measure: Sales Dimensions: Time, Product, Company Measure Group 2 Measure: Exchange rate Dimensions: Time, Currency The only shared dimension between the two measure group is thus Time... The currency dimension contains one attribute hierarchy (CurrencyCode) wit ...Show All

• Visual C# Where is Property Binding value stored?

  In a VS2005 Windows form project I have a text box whose Text property is bound to a user setting using the Application Settings > PropertyBinding in the form designer.  In my code, before the form is closed I do Properties.Settings.Default.Save() so that the value of the Text property is persisted.  This works fine.  The textbox displays the value that was persisted when I rerun the project.  However, I do a FIND (in project) for this value but cannot find where it is being stored.  I also noticed that if I delete the entire project folder and then create the project anew with same project name, same form an ...Show All

• Windows Forms Visual Studio Form Editor Bug

    I can't believe this... I spent 2 hours setting up menus, toolboxes and stuff like this. All worked well until I got an error with some file missing (strange name, not in my project) and now I can't see any of my menus. I can still see the code for adding menus in the <formname>.Designer.cs but when it comes to displaying it, no chance. This is in the final version of the product. So Microsoft style this one. What do I do now Start over Or restart Windows, MAYBE it will work :) I don't understand the reason for the release of final version for VSNET2005. Now i'm overdue with my projects!. Si ...Show All

• Windows Forms non-rectangular controls in Windows Forms

  I'm trying to develop simple non-rectangular controls for use in forms: ellipses, diamonds, etc. The last released version of System.Windows.Forms clearly had problems in this are, and now version 2.0 also seems to handle things incorrectly. Specifically, even if I set the background color to Transparent and set the "All painting in WM_PAINT" style, the corners of my controls continue to be painted. In v1.1 there was a problem with window style flags not being set correctly, but I could never get the work-around to function. Is there sample code for doing this in Forms v2.0 You have to know ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions how can I check if I have registered the product ?

  I have installed VC++ express edition, activated and registered it, and then uninstalled it and installed VC# express edition. Now the problem is whenever I try to register this product ( from Help->Register Product ), it pops up IE to ask me to login, and then in next page it said,   "Your e-mail address has been verified and a "thank you" e-mail with links to valuable registration offers and resources has been sent to your inbox."   I got the thank you email, but I cannot get the activation key. Does this mean my VC# is registered But every time I restart my computer and turn on the VC# for the first time, a little ...Show All
