• SQL Server Tabs missing from Reporting Servers home page

  When I am trying http://localhost/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx I am not seeing the all too familier "Contents" and "Properties" tabs along with deployed reports. Once in a while, I see that, but most of the time it is missing. Reporting Services got installed correctly though. It shows a very blank-ish Home page.

Brian, any idea why some users (on the same domain) would require separate privileges than others For instance, I've created a few reports and have given a number of users access to the reports via Re ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Date Recreation in VC Migration

  I am attempting to migrate from a previous Version Control to TFS and I was wondering if it is possible to maintain the same dates on the version history. So far I haven't been able to find any method that allows entering dates as a parameter. I was hoping this would work. It attempts to get the current changeset just checked in and change its CreationDate. It doesn't work. Changeset changeSet = versionControl.GetChangeset(n); changeSet.CreationDate = new DateTime (2006, 6, 26, 2, 0, 0); changeSet.Update(); I am not adamant about using the API, but I sure would prefer it. Perhaps there is an option in the Command Line Interface or the GUI It is not possible to update the creation date of ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Best practices for GameComponents and GameServices

  If I'm writing a GameComponent or a GameService for others to use, is it a "best practice" to auto-register the component and service during construction Or should I leave it to the consumer to register the component or service ex: public partial class MyComponent : GameComponent , IMyService { public MyComponent( Game game) : base (game) { // Should I be doing this game.Components.Add( this ); // Or this game.Services.AddService( typeof (IMyService), this ); } } PS: How can I get source code to format propery in the message editor.

• Visual Basic Auto form filler

  How would you go about creating one of these I just need the basic code you would use. I guess that having the program put data in a specific field would work, or just fake keyboard input. If you are using a web page, a good web browser should do the job. If you are on your own app, then you should do something like a DataTable with the fields to fill and their possible values. Have an array of TextBox controls that you may go recursive with a For ... Each to find the fields and fill them with the appropriate data. Also you may need to build some DataTable that gathers previously entered items, that should not be too hard. Does it make sense ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Microsoft Project Plan (.mpp file) in Project Portal always locked

  Hi, Was wondering if anyone has seen this problem and possibly have a workaround for it. If we create a project plan using Microsoft Project 2003 (or 2007), publish the plan to the team server and then save the .mpp into a document list in the Project Portal. When attempting to edit the file project always displays the error "The file is locked by another user", read-only, notify, etc.. However the other user is me! Sometimes the error can be avoided by deleting Temporary Internet Files but not always. Curiously this only affects .mpp files that have been associated with a team project and are stored in the project portal. Storing them on the file system, or storing unbound plans in the portal works just fine. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Possible to make an animated Sprite using WPF?

  I'm trying to decide what might be the best way to cycle through a series of individual images or frames to give the impression of animation - similar to how an animated gif file works. I have yet to find a single example of this kind of keyframe animation within WPF. There are probably various ways one could acheive this but I wondered if anyone could point me to an existing example using either XAML or code. I'm currently thinking along the lines of finding a way to change the ImageSource of an ImageBrush at regular intervals - but is there a better way Animating the ImageSource as you described sounds fine, you can do this using an ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames . As for if it's the best so ...Show All
