• Visual Studio Supported Rendering Formats

  I am planning to employ a LocalReport object in a .dll I'm writing which will be used to render reports.  Is the LocalReport class going to support the same output formats that Reporting Services does   I do like the myriad of output formats (PDF, Excel, CSV, XML, Tif) that Reporting Services currently offers and would hate to think that the report viewer would eliminate any of those formats. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks Ken Harris PDF export in local mode will be a huge addition for our particular project.  Thank you so much for adding this! ...Show All

• SQL Server Where'd Query Analyzer Go?

  In an existing project in SQL2K/VS2003, we have several .sql files in a folder in the VS solution.  The entire database is created/recreatable from these queries.  The solution is under source control, and therefore so are all of the queries.  When someone opens a query file, Query Analyzer is launched.  There are a few annoyances (like the fact that a separate instance of QA is launched each time another file is opened), but it works fairly well. So I try doing something similar in VS2005.  The closest I can get is to create a text file in App_Data.  BUT, when I open it up, the window is essentially an overg ...Show All

• SQL Server can't install sample databases plus no documents or tutorials

  I have downloaded and run all the .msi's for the sample databases. To install them I am suppose to use "SQL Server 2005 Setup, you need to click the Advanced button....". I don't seem to have a "SQL Server 2005 Setup" - did the docs revert back to SQL Server rather than SQL Express or what R Perhaps I was unclear on the problem (people have looked at my post but no one has replied). I am trying to follow the instructions at http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/8/6/d865cf0c-c44b-401b-b426-b3bf5c628112/GettingStartedWithSQLSamples.htm Don't know why that doesn't show up as an URL. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Pressing <Esc> will trigger validation of contents of UI-element

  Hi, In our forms we have the problem that after entering invalid input in a textbox, pressing the <Esc> key will trigger the validation of the textbox contents. In the same situation, pressing the CancelButton of the form will NOT trigger the validation. We thought the behaviour would be the same for both situations, but it is not. How to achieve that both situations behave the same. Note: it not only happens for the textbox but for all input controls. Note: we checked all controls for the setting of CausesValidation (for the CancelButton this is FALSE, for the form this is FALSE). regards, Henk No you aren't m ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Databinding Doesn't work!?

  Dear all Even though I have followed the tutorial on data binding gui's on msdn, my installation of vs.vb.net 2k5 doesn't add data. I've created a table in the sql database, added the dataset, drag and dropped the data table onto the form in detail view. I also entered some test data directly to the database in vs.2k5 enviornment. Running the program it displays the records in the database. I've added an msgbox command to display the "updated" records from the form's dataset. Saving new records causes a message to popup giving a new record count, which i assumed added the data to the database. But closing the program an ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Problems with Setup

  OK, I know the score, read the documentation at least twice before installing and I did. I was still caught out and it cost me a lot of time. Here's the problem. Doing an installation on one of my servers using separate data and application servers. Everything is done inside Virtual Server as with previous versions and I expected no problems. The data layer went in exactly as described and I ticked off each paragraph as I completed it. The application layer was going well until it started throwing a 7 line error message. It looked like a permissions problem so I checked that the tfssetup and tfsservice accounts were not only members of the l ...Show All
