• Visual Studio The difference between Crystal reports and sql reporting services in vs2005

  Hi, all, with vs 2005 you can do a report with both crystal reports and sql reporting services. what's the difference And which is the best to get start Thanks Hi, I am interested in your thread as i am currently trying to decide Crystal Reports or SQL Reporting Services. You seem to say the disadvantage of SQL RS is that you have to install a sql server. The project im starting right now will probably use SQL Everywhere on desktop so no sql server install as such. Will i be able to program SQL Reports using everywhere database engine - i guess so but interested in your views/opinions. Does anyone know of any resources comparing CR to SQL RS Many thanks Chris ...Show All

• Visual C# Conditional References

  I probably named my thread wrong, but I didn't know what to call it. Basically, I'm making an application which interfaces with various media players. To do this, I reference and use each media player's COM library/interface. This all works fine, however, to use the COM the user must have the specific media player installed. So theoretically, at the moment, for someone to use my application they would have to have all media players supported by my program installed, this is a major downfall. So I was wondering if there was a way to conditionally 'reference' these COM interfaces, in such a way that I can ask the user which media player(s) he would like to support and then use those interfaces, therefore avoiding a problem ( Or I can also si ...Show All

• SQL Server SSMS Template Folders

  I am a long time user of the template functionality built into Query Analyzer, and now Management Studio. The first annoyance that I discovered was the change from .tql to .sql. I always thought .tql was a pain, but I had been using it for years, so I have accumulated a lot of templates. I like to organize my templates into subdirectories - but not the ones provided by the install program. This is when I discovered another annoyance, the template directories are now hidden in the <User>\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Shell\Templates\Sql directory. With Query Analyzer, sometimes I find a script useful, I would just make a copy of it in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Templates\SQL Query Analyze ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Files automatically get included in change sets

  I am getting reports from developers that some files, such as those with extension .pdb and some .dlls are automatically included into change sets for developers whenever checkins are attempted. I am not all too sure what the exact nature of these files are but they may be files that are related to Microsoft libraries. Developers can easily prevent these changes to be checked in by making sure that they are no checked. But is there a better way to handle this Thanks, Maggie http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx kbid=915110 Easiest way to get the fix is to install the Web Application Project add-in from ScottGu's website. ...Show All
