• Smart Device Development PocketPC Emulator/ActiveSync Error?

  Until about 2 weeks ago I have been using the VS2005 PocketPC WM 5.0 emulator with ActiveSync without any problems. As soon as I would "connect" the emulated device through the Device Emulator Manager ActiveSync would recognize the emulator and sychronize with it. However, during the last 3 weeks this functionality has disappeared and been replaced with this error message . The other member of my project has the exact same problem. Has ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to override basic_streambuf::seekoff?

  I am trying to implement the method pos_type seekoff(off_type, ios_base::seekdir, ios_base::openmode) in my buffer. I have two important questions: What should the seekoff method return when it moves both pointers at once What should the seekoff method do when it fails Is it required to leave the buffer intact, or is it undefined behaviour I recommend you to use the STL forum here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp ...Show All

• SQL Server Report Headers

  I'm new to Reporting Services, but am familiar with other reporting tools. My question is, is there really no way to reference a field in a page header If so, I suppose you could repeat some header information on subsequent pages from the detail section of the report using a text box, but how is that done because when I check the property box "Repeat report item with data region on every page" nothing happens. What is the best way to ...Show All

• SQL Server Page orientation for physical pages

  Hello, I need to design a single report (PDF) which must have both landscape and portrait orientation. For what I know the page size is defined and static for all pages of the same report (RDL). Is there any workaround (I'm using Sql2005) Thanks, Pierre You are right the page size defined in the rdl can't be expression and apply to all pages. One possible workaround is to use deviceinfo to specify page size and the page range. http: ...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 ...Show All
