Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Windows Presentation Foundation(WPF) and Windows Workflow Foundation(WWF)
Hi Is there any documentation, examples, general info about creating a WPF application using the WWF to manage the pages. Could this technology be used to create a navigation application with an adaptive topology instead of the method described in the sdks Regards Helen I don't think there is an example for WPF but there are samples for ASP.NET and win forms. Currently, I am developing a WPF application using state machine and it works quite well. What do you mean by "adaptive topology" Chong ...Show All
SQL Server No space between matrix and top of page??
I have created a report with a table with some header rows and a matrix below that table. If my matrix goes in more than one page, I want the table to appear in all the pages. The problem is when I generate the report, I get the table and the matrix on the first page but from next page, there is no space between top of page and the matrix header. Moreover the table also does not appear in all the pages, though I have selected 'Repeat on all pages'. Please let me know the solution to this problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!! Here is a partial answer to your problem: on your report body, right click and select ...Show All

SQL Server credentials type - service credentials missing
Hi All, On my 64bit itanium cluster, how come when I open up my Reporting Services Configuration Manager and go to the "Database Setup", under "Credentials Type" I am missing the option "Service Credentials" This is how I have my dev server set up and would like it to be the same. This was due to us connecting to the individual node rather than to the cluster when opening up the reporting services configuration manager. ...Show All
Visual Studio Express Editions C++ .net express.. Now what?
First of all.. Thanks to anyone who is willing to toss me a few seconds of their time and help to give me a bit of direction.. I am on a quest to learn the C++ language and write applications..

SQL Server What is necessary to create SDF-Files on desktop legally?
I want to write a PC application that prepares a SQL Server Mobile Files (.SDF) and sends it to a PocketPC. I get this error message: "SQL Mobile usage is restricted on this platform.

SQL Server USING an CASE statement to Derive a Field
Hi, I'm trying to use a CASE statement to derive a field and I'm getting an error to say that the experssion can't be parsed. I have checked the syntax and there is nothing wrong with it. Does this mean that I can only use the derive field object with the pre defined options What other tool can I use to derive a field using CASE or am I missing something obvious Thanks for your help Hi, I'm not quite sure what your context is here. If you are using a derived column transform in a data flow to create a new column, there is no CASE statement in the expression evaluator syntax. You can, ...Show All
Visual Basic taskbar group icon
Really didn't know which forum to post this in... but... I'm using Visual Studio .Net 2003 and the app is in VB.NET. I have Icons for each form, but when XP groups them the group Icon is that 'plain-jane' one. Is there a way (if so where) to specify the group icon Windows XP will use Thanks for any help! You should probably change your Project's icon. Right click your project in the solution explorer and hit properties, and on the Application tab you see a dropdown list with "Icon:" above it. That should get you on your way :) EDIT: Oh. I forgot you were using VS2003 not VS2005. I don't kno ...Show All
Visual Basic It's slow!!!
Hello After I turn on my computer and when I launch first program (which programed by VB2005), it's take a long time to show main form. VB6 was faster. CPU speed: 2600 MHz Memory: 1024 MB Is there a solution for that Thanks & Regards What do you mean by 'long time' It's possible that, even though windows appears to have finished booting up, it hasn't - it's still loading and starting various services (e.g.SQLServer). Additionally, it may be that the .NET framework needs to load prior to your application loading. Did you try using a splash screen to see if t ...Show All
Windows Forms Internet zone
Hi, I have problems with applications deployed using ClickOnce from the Internet zone. I have created a sample application (just a form with a button that makes an illegal operation in this zone - looks if a file exists). http://www.valil.com/TestExpress/TestExpress.zip I have set the zone to Internet and I have deployed it on the web server. When I try to run it, I get the message "Application has been blocked ..." (the message you get when you try to run a full trust application). I must mention that my website has the problem from this thread ("Problems with MIME settings at the hosting provider") so the deployment manifest has the ext ...Show All
Visual C++ VS .Net 2005, how to disable intellisense...
Hi I am really frustrated with the performance of VS .Net 2005. This is because I always see at the bottom "updating intellisense..." and it uses 60% to 70% of CPU. How to disable this updating of intellisense... Please this is making Visual studio unusable. Thanks Chandra Traian, We did a lot of work to increase Intellisense precision in VC8 so what you mention seems a little suprising. Could you post a sample of a change that VC8 does *not* pick up, which VC7.1 did ...Show All
