• SQL Server Extra Browser window when exporting?

  Hello, I'm using the HTML Viewer and URL access to render my reports.  When I change the format (for example to excel) on the HTML Viewer, and click the "export" link beside the drop down.  A new browser window pops up and a save box prompting me to specify the location of where to save.  After I choose the save destination, download the new formated report, and close the save box, the newly opened browser window remains open. Is there any way to automatically close that browser window or maybe even not show that browser window at all Thanks in Advance ...Show All

• Visual C# The type or namespace name 'Excel' could not be found

  Hello, I am trying to create a simple program that will open an excel worksheet and do some comparisons.

I have read the documentation and several of the posts on it but I am still a little nervous have some questions. First, do I have to have a certificate or a key file in order to do updates My security person believes it isn't necessary since it is on our local network.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How can I output 3D screenshot to asp page

  I would like to output the 3D screenshot to browser. I found the directX can output screenshot to file, such as: SurfaceLoader .Save(dialog.FileName, ImageFileFormat .Jpg, _device.GetBackBuffer(0, 0, BackBufferType .Mono)); But I wish I could output directly to my ASP page. So I can render the screen shot in browser directly. Thanks for help.

But that is the first step for asp page to set the return type as MIME. ...Show All
