• SQL Server Printing Reporting Services (2005) Report to 11x17 paper.

  I haven't seen this answered anywhere yet, but maybe I've missed it. The problem I'm having is that a report I've created in Reporting Services (2005) will not print to paper as the size I've intended, which is 11x17. It will, however, render as a pdf just fine. For some background, I have set the page width to 17in and the page height to 11in in the Report Properties dialog box on the Layout tab. It seems like I read about this being an issue in SQL Server 2000. Is this a bug that has yet to be resolved Help me out and let me know what I'm missing. ...Show All

• .NET Development XSLT sort problem

  I have an XML file containing TV listings that I am trying to process with XSLT to produce a customized report of my favorite programs. The XML is much more sophisticated than the textbook examples and the examples I've found on the web. It contains a default namespace and is structured like a relational database. I am having trouble sorting the listings by their air date. To get the air date I must first follow the xtvd/program/program path to get the id attribute, then match that value to the program attribute in the xtvd/schedules/schedule path to get the air date. (There may be more than one air date for a single program.) The sort I coded sorts the air dates just fine for the same program that airs on more than one date, but w ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Announcing v4 - 3D Mapping!

  Announcing v4 - 3D Mapping! Today at 2PM (PST) we launched v4 of the map control, and with it some pretty amazing additions to the VE mapping world. You can read all of the blogs and marketing materials (and of course, go to maps.live.com) to get all the “wow” stuff. Here I just want to highlight what I think matters to VE developers. The Good First, we also updated the v3 control (now, v3.2). The big change here—and this is also in the v4 control—is the ability to now turn off the location disambiguation dialog and easily build your own. Check the “Finding Information” topic in the SDK. The iSDK also shows how to do this, of course. The Great On to v4: The big change, of course, is that you can now sho ...Show All

• SQL Server Database Diagrams in SQL server 2005

  Hello, i'm new to this forum but I need help with SQL Server 2005. I know on 2003 you can do database diagrams to create table diagrams to show the relationships. But for 2005 it won't allow me to do database diagrams. When I click on my database in Object or Solution explorer, I right click on database diagrams and it doesn't give me the option to do a database diagram. It just gives me a help option ("Working with SQL server 2000 diagrams"). I don't why it gives this option, because I'm using the 2005 version. Does anyone know how to elect to do database diagrams in SQL Server 2005 I would appreciate the help. Not quite sure what problem you're running into... Are you using SQL Server Manage ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7, OE6 Printing problems with headers

  Having an intermittent problem printing To: From: CC: Subject: Attachments: headers on emails. Usually happens with larger emails or emails with large attachments or emails that have been replied to or forwarded from other people. Have installed Generic/text printer and sent the email to this printer but sometimes the headers are still missing even printing this way. I have if I open the offending email and highlight just one or two words in the text of the email eg Dear John and then print the email using my HP printer (not as text on Generic printer) - the headers then print and so does the selected words. Don't suggest using Outlook as often we only print the first page of emails as we already have the rest of the email on file especial ...Show All

• Visual Basic Library

  Hi, I want to build a file, where I have all my re-usable code available for several applications. (.dll) The code will be written in Visual Basic 2005 .NET. What is the best way to do this Once you've added the reference to your assembly, you just need to create an instance of an object defined in that assembly. You said your class project was called "library", so let's assume it contains a Class named Library. In the referencing application you would: Dim myLib As New Library This will give you a myLib variable of the type Library that exposes all the properties and methods you coded in the Library class project. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Storing custom class in Application Settings

  I would like to store a class defined by me in the "windows from application settings". This is not easy to do, but it seems to work, mostly: 1) Open Settings.settings with the Settings Designer. Because the dropdown list doesn't allow me to chose my own class, I just use a property of type string. Close the Settings Designer and save the changes. 2) Open Settings.settings with a text editor. Change the type to my class. save the change. 3) Open Settings.settings with the Settings Designer. A property wiht my the type of my class is displayed. Nice :-) From my code, I can create a new instance of my class and assign it to the application settings, save them and read them again. This works for all fields in my class wh ...Show All

• Visual C# Maintain a reference [c#]

  How can I mantain a reference to a var .. i don't mean only pass a var in reference mode to a method, i want to mantain that reference... Here's what i want to do... I have a Form1 class, so i have a var, call it int X, then i want to access to that var exactly how she is in the Form2 class..

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 and desktop icons

  I just installed Internet Explorer 7 today, which I guess is a.k.a. Windows Live . All of my fancy customized shortcuts on the desktop disappeared and each got replaced by the same generic windows icon. Right-clicking & changing the icons in properties no longer works. Also, when I create an internet shortcut while browsing, that creates a shortcut with that same generic icon (not even an explorer logo). Now my desktop is just one forest of identical icons. Anyone know how I can fix this I've wasted all day without success. I have just installed ie7 today I like lots of things about it BUT I have the same problem; all my customised icons with which I am familiar have dissapeare ...Show All

  While creating an excel object in a webapplication i get a System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException- "Server execution failed". This happens only in case of webapplications. however if i create the object in a windows application i dont get this error. it works fine then.

Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem at the earliest If your using excel in a web application - you are aware that this will be running on the server and not the client, unlike a windows application which is running the code on the client machine. ...Show All
