• SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 Metadata

  Greetings, I'm creating a new data model using Reporting Services 2005. The database has the standard generic names like 'idSystem' etc. I have created a Metadata file with user friendly names 'Control System Id', but rather than have to retype all those names and descriptions over into the [Friendly Name Property] I'd like to try to pull that information into the model. So my question is... Does anyone know where are the Friendly Names property is stored and can I program that field to pull from another file Thanks - Will Right click on the model in VS and select View Code. If it is set, the Friendly Name for each Entity element is an element called Name . Because you can nest Entity eleme ...Show All

  I have 2 forms Form1.h URL.h I am trying to take the information from "txtURL" on "URL.h" and place it into "wmp->URL" on "Form1.h" i was told i have to use a Class file as information cannot be transfered from Form to Form.

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Permissions Guide

  Hi Guys, I would like to share with you a document my team has recently put together. It deals with the complex matter of TFS permissions. We’ve included the entire scope of TSF permissions (Server/project levels, WSS, RC, work item tracking) into it and would appreciate it, if you will find the time to take a look at it and tell us what you think about it. http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/srlteam/archive/2006/10/23/Complete-TFS-Permissions-Reference.aspx James, I am with you as far as having updated official documentation vs. proprietary stuff is concerned! But the official documentation seems to be somewhat behind the actual functionality. Personally, I have come across the whole host of ...Show All

• Visual Basic Create Message-Box with VBA and Visio

  Hi everyone, I have tried to find a Keyword to create a Message-window or something like that in Visio, but I did’t find anything. I just need to create a small window with a Message on it.

• Smart Device Development Switching form Focus

  I'm using the sub below to call a new form and display it. The new form (form2) has a text box and a button. When the button is clicked I want the form to go away and have the code pic up where it left off on my main form (display the msgbox after frm2.showdialog). All I have on the button_click event now is ME.hide. The form (form2) disappears but so does my app. The name of my mainform is mxev. I've tried MXev.visable=true .bringtofront . show and .showdialog but no luck. The app is still running but I cant see it. Thanks DASHLEY Private Sub DisplayQuestion( ByVal Thequestion As Integer ) Dim form2 As New Form2 Form2.Label2.Text = Thequestion Form2.ShowDialog() MSGBOX("form ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. TorqueXNA

  I had a look at the XNA version of the Torque 2d engine and noticed that it converted 4mb worth of png files into over 60mb of xna files; Is this a Torque issue or xna as its a massive increase and would make releasing any games online a virtual impossibility. Thanks Shawn, but I'm not sure if that answered the question. For example, I have a splash screen that goes from 5.21kb in PNG format to 1.10MB (1126.4kb) in XNB format - over 216 times bigger. Is there something I have to change in the properties for that file to keep it from getting inflated ...Show All

• Visual C# VS.NET Design view controls disappeared

  Having a major issue with VS.NET 2005. I was working on a website and tried to switch to design view and all controls had disappeared (although html was shown). All code was correct when viewing in code view and the project built and ran correctly. I tried to see if this was an issue with the website alone or the dev environment by creating a test website. Again, no controls were visible and I cannot even drag controls from the toolbox to the design surface. I've tried repairing the installation of VS.NET but again nothing...any help would be appreciated, I really don't want to have to reinstall the operating system! I'm running vs.net 2005 on XP home.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Games within a IE brower

  Not real sure if this is a new thread or not, but is it possible to create a game (actually more of a simulation) using the XNA game studio that would run in a browser window Does not necessarily have to actually run from a online web server, just be browser based. Thanks   Joel Martinez wrote: Rick Mogstad wrote: That isn't really the same as running the game in a browser window ... having the control, written in managed code, be able to interact with javascript code (and thus, other non-managed elements of the web page) certainly seems like it's "running in the browser" Certainly, but not in the context that the OP intended. I meant "Completely" in a browser, without having to download and ins ...Show All

• .NET Development CodeDom Generated code Debugging

  I have done a lot of searching for this over the past month or so but haven't found what I see as an answer. I am working with a program that will allow a user to create and compile a CodeDom Graph from a C# form. What I need to do is create a way of letting the user debug the program they have created. Either in our Form or in .NET. The best way I could think of debugging it in .NET is to create a project file with all of the info and generated source file. I didn't really like this idea so if you have a better one... I have read quite a bit about SOS and MDbg and don't quite know if I could use these either. If anybody could point me in the right direction i would be much obliged. Thank you very much, this has made my life quite a ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server replication to SQL 2005 Express
