• Visual Studio Crystal Report Viewer in subdirectory

  hi, I'm using VS2005 + CRXI r2 to publish some reports using ASP.NET. If I add a crystal reporter viewer to a page in the root directory of my website everything works fine. If I try to add a crystal reports viewer to a page in a sub directory I get the error : CrystalReportViewer - CrystalReportViewer1 Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. I'm guessing this is something simply but I have no idea what it is. I have seen many pages that give solutions saying I need to create a crystalreportsviewer dir in IIS but I already have this (hence root pages working ok). many thanks for any help. ...Show All

• SQL Server T Cannot connect to MSSAS 2005 Standard on local machine

  I have installed SQL2005 completely, including Service Pack 1. Using Mgt Studio, I can connect to the relational db. I am not able to connect to analysis services though! The error message I receive is :"A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running. (Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient". The additional information says: "Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.(System)." The service is certainly running (I see this in the Mgt Studio). I am able to connect to the service on another machine. However, once I try to browse a cu ...Show All

• Windows Forms DefaultCellStyle.Format for an unbound row doesn't work.

  I add a DataGridView to a form and use the IDE to set the DefaultCellStyle.Format for one of the columns to "C2".  When I run the form, I can enter any value of any type and nothing gets formatted or validated. I tried setting the value in the form's constructor as well, but the results are the same.  Why doesn't this work     Assuming this is unbound... Usually a cell format problem has to do with the underlying Type of the cell. I would suggest trying to set the ValueType of the column to something specific - I think the default is Nothing. If you are unsure, try setting i ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System You are not authorized to view this page2

  I've got the same problem as RubyG (see previous thread): I can not connect to TFS via http://localhost:8080 - because of "You are not authorized to view this page" error. Also I can not connect to SharePoint Central Administration via http://localhost:1957 for the same "You are not authorized to view this page" reason. In Microsoft KB I've found the article about the problem ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321488/ ) but it was useless - configuring Virtual Server to use basic authentification did not help. I use Windows 2003 server with SP1 Always login as administrator Installed all step by step using "Team Foundation Installation Guide" ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.DeviceLostException

  Well it seems that I am not the only one who is getting this exception. Everytime I Ctrl+Del while in my application, I am kicked back to .NET wit this exception:  An unhandled exception of type 'Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.DeviceLostException' occurred in microsoft.directx.direct3d.dll Additional information: Error in the application. I thought it was device.DeviceReset event triggering, but that did not seem to solve the problem. I am getting the same problem in SDK tutorials too. What is causing this problem and how could I fix it Thank you. Actually after playing around with dev ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView - how to prevent deselect in full-row single-select mode ?

  We have a DataGridView bound to an object bindingsource, which is also the bindingsource of other controls on the form. The selected row in the datagrid is used to control the the bindingsource .Postition (and .Current). The advanced user can now deselect the selected row in the DataGridView (ctrl + click selected row), but a bindingsource cannot have no selection. Thus the other bound controls still shows data if I do not remove the .DataSource of the bindingsource in the SelectionChanged event. This looks kind of stupid in e.g. master-details views. What I need is for the DataGridView to behave like a DropDownList, i.e. enforce a sin ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro return from a form.

  Still struggling to communicate with some of my secondary forms. This problem, again, happens only in StartMode = 4. Everything is fine interactively. LOCAL cUserReturn AS String DO FORM <formName> WITH par1, par2 TO cUserReturn. I get an error message that there is operand/operator type mismatch. I tried to define cUserReturn as Variant - the same thing. The expected type of return is String . According to the Help FoxPro is supposed to create a return variable when it is not defined. I tried to leave it undefined only to get another message: cUserReturn not found. Catch-22. I suspect there is something here I do not kn ...Show All
