• Visual Studio Sizing report viewer control on the page

  I have a report that i'm trying to display on a page using the report viewer control. However, I'm having a hard time sizing it correctly so that it fills the remaining space on the page. I have a menu and some controls generating parameters for the report at the top of the page. Below is the report control object, which would ideally fill the rest of the page. setting the height of the report viewer to 100% doesn't get the job done . Does anyone have a good example on how to get this done This can be done, but it typically requires not using the xhtml doctype. Take a look at www.gotreportviewer.com , FAQ #14 for more information. ...Show All

• Visual Basic how to change the color of the tab control in vb.net

  can anybody say how change the color of the tab control in vb.net Add the following to form load, it redraws any time, the tabs are changed. I'm not sure why. Private Sub Form1_Load( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase .Load TabControl1.DrawMode = TabDrawMode.OwnerDrawFixed End Sub I found this Sub somewhere and changed it slightly. Add this sub to your program. It colors the Tab (not the page) the same colors as the background of the tab, if it is the one selected. The other tabs are colored a standard white with black text. You can modify it anyway you want, but it seems to work very well for coloring the tabs. Pri ...Show All

• Visual C# Printing ASCII character set from 127 to 255

  Hi i want to print ascii character set from 128 to 255. For that i used the following method Strings .ChrW(int CharCode) or Strings . Chr(int CharCode) but the output i am getting with this method is not similar to the Ascii character. Any help would be thankful. Yeah, sorry, I tried to do the same thing this morning but got the same result, yet if you open up Notepad, select the Lucida font and then do this.... Hold ALT and then press 1 9 2 on the numeric keypad (note, it must be the numeric keys), release ALT and the └ will appear.

• SQL Server Slow Quick Find Dialog performance vs. F3

  I'm running SQL Management Studio SP 2 on Windows XP SP 2. I frequently use Quick Find to look for errors in large result sets by looking for the string "MSG". My result sets are frequently just the # of rows affected by SELECT INTOs, UPDATEs, DELETEs, etc. I'm not doing large SELECTs and looking at the results. What I've noticed in result sets larger than 1000 rows, is that the Quick Find box will often freeze up for several minutes when I'm looking for msg. There is no disk activity, but CPU activity will be maxxed at 100%. No other apps will be open, plus my task tray is pretty empty. My PC is a IBM Pentium 4 w/ 768 MB of RAM, and plenty of hard disk space. However, if I click over to another query window with "MSG" ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. xna launcher problems after update

  After the most recent Xbox 360 dashboard update, the XNA Launcher cannot find my subscription upon startup. After it cannot find the subscription it forces me to quit the launcher, I'm back at the xbox live blade signed on with my profile but disconnected from xbox live (I was connected and confirmed my subscription in marketplace before starting the XNA Launcher). I suspect it may be related to another odd behavior that happened after the update, when I sign on to my profile after the console boots up I have to now manually connect to xbox live where as it used to just sign on with my profile. If I sign out and sign back on it connects automatically. So when XNA Launcher starts, does it restart the console Does it expect the profile ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS crashs on debugging Stored Procedures

  Hi Community, We are working with VS 2005, Win2000 and SQL2000. When we are debugging a Stored Procedure and like to stop them during execution by pressing the Stop button, VS crashes. Well, it doesnt stop and the Task Manager marks the VS process with "no answer". We have more than one installation of the same configuration. The problem could be easy reproduced. Thanks for your answer. Marc, This isn't a known issue. Does VS really crash If it crashes it will put up a Watson dialog asking if you want to send in a error report etc. Please do send that in and then look at your event log and you should find the bucket id under Application / Type = Error / Event = 1001.

• .NET Development problem with putting a class in the Application object and accessing it across threads

  I have a web service that has 2 methods: Update(string guid) GetProgress(string guid) A client app calls Update() with its unique guid in a spawned off thread since the function takes about 30-60 seconds to return. Then in the main thread the client keeps calling GetProgress() with its unique guid to see how much times is left until Update finished on the web service. In the web service code I create a class like this: class Task { string guid; long current; long total; } Then right when Update is called on the web service I create an instance of Task and put it into the Application object. Task task = new Task(); task.guid = guid; .... Application[guid] = task; Then in GetProgress(string guid) I do: if(Application[guid] != null) { ...Show All

• Visual Studio MORE INFO - Reportviewer "report is being generated" can't display report - VB 2005 program

  I have a VS2005 Windows application that displays a reportviewer (SQL 2005) report in a tab control, then displays a second report in a second tab with reportviewer, and so on. The really strange thing is that I had this application working for about 3 months. I even had up to 30 reports in 30 tabs at one point. BUT, for some reason now all I get is the first report and the second, third, etc. tabs show a reportviewer with "Report being generated" that never displays the report. Even worse, another user is able to run this application and DOES get all the reports displayed. So what could have been updated on my PC that is causing this problem Thanks in advance. P.S. I also posted this on the SQL Server 2005 forum, b ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Making a Password form

  Hello everyone, My question is regarding how I would make it where someone has to enter the right name and password inorder to bring up the next form, like they would have their own account as well and it would bring the form up when the correct info is entered. I am using VB Expresws 2005 , Thanks! Just a piece of advice when it comes to trying code from someone who is also fairly new to VB.net. Sometimes code won't run and then sometimes it will the next time.  i don't understand why but it does. and also sometimes you need to publish your app and try it, what may not work in debug may work for real and vice-versa. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Popups while coding

  So I am new Visual Studio, and am trying to learn vBasic. I can't seem to find a way to turn off the little guide tips. Whenever I start writing MessageBox.Show I get a popup. How do I turn off all of these "helpful" hints I looked in most of the options and can't find anything that seems to control them. what you maybe referring to is the tooltips. These are normal and tell you what the method expects in terms of parameters. It is required otherwise how would you know where you are going wrong and if you are passing invalid parameters to it I am not sure you can turn it off but please do not quote me however this is for your benefit otherwise you would be making life very hard for yourself : ...Show All
