• SQL Server Excel orientation/page break problems

  We're using RS 2000.  All our reports have header/body with 2 cm margins (the header has a background colour and text box labels at left and right hand sides) - the layout, pagebreaks etc in HTML, printing, PDF formats are fine, but when exported to Excel the right hand side of the header (and the final data column of the body if it is close to the right margin) is always split onto a separate page.  The spreadsheet has the correct margin set but I can't get rid of the problem, even if the margins are increased to 2.5cm (which I don't want to do).  Also, if the orientation of the report is portrait, it always defaults ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Blocking deployment woes

  It appears I have two problems. The first is that VS2005 appears to be trying to deploy my static library projects. Now why would it want to do that Not that it appears to find them: Some further experimentation reveals that the error " The system cannot find the path specified. " occurs for projects set to deploy to the emulator while " The configuration data for this product is corrupt. Contact your support personnel. " is reserved for projects attempting to deploy to an actual device. As it happens these are the exact same errors returned if I choose "Connect to device" from the Tools menu. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development [unresolved external symbol CreateWindowExA] can't link user32.lib

  Hi all. I'm usindg Visual C++ 2005 Standard and I installed the SDKs I need (Windows Mobile 2005 and 2003 for both Pocket PC and Smartphone). I'm trying to build unit tests to run on my emulator. Those tests need a window to display the results they get. So, I call CreateWindow (<=> CreateWindowEx <=> CreateWindowExA) in my WinMain method. At this point, I have linked aygshell.lib.

Any Idea By the way, I'm not yet really familiar with VC8 and I ...Show All

  I have two questions. I am trying to work through some very simple reports to get the feel for SSRS. I am running SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition and I have VS.Net 2005 Pro installed on Windows XP SP2. I can walk through the report wizard just fine.

• Visual C# Please help (saveing/opening data)

  I have this form that allows a user to enter information about him/herself by entering text and checking check boxes. What I need is a way to: 1) Save all the input (text and cheked boxes) to a file 2) Have the user be able to open the file and it display all the information saved from the previous form and display that information in the right spot (text in the correct text box and the right check boxes checked) I've looked and havn't been able to find anything yet on doing that (maybe not looking in the right place). Any help or points in the right direction to doing something like this would be so appreciated as I am new to C#. Thanks! ...Show All

  apart from the MDX 1.1 and the MDX 2.0beta dll. is there any other differences. i ask because i see emptyproject framework uses dxmut.cs but the emptyproject_2005 uses wdxmut.cs. i'm wondering if i can use the emptyproject_2005 framework and just replace the MDX 2.0 beta dll with the MDX 1.1 dll. will the framework still work i saw somewhere that said the emptyproject was for .net 1.1 and the emptyproject_2005 was for the .net 2.0. if thats the case i'd rather use the .net 2.0 files. this is for the april 2006 sdk. nice. i hope you didn't think i was blaming you for the not so emptyprojects. ...Show All
