• Visual Basic Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject'

  Could someone please help me with this error, or tell me how I can fix it. Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to class type 'System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser'.

• SQL Server Rights Management in Reporting Service- Organisation wide

  Hello Experts, We are using Reporting service as our reporting solution. as of now we manually add user and give them browser rights. Is there a way by which i dont have to add users to the security section of the report for users to view it. As we have a very big organization who would be using some reports. adding each user will be a night mare. Any idea to get rid of this. /Soni Hello Soni, If your company network is a Windows network, you can use Windows Authentication. You can make a group or use existing groups to authenticate users or groups of users to use reports. This is quite a big topic so you could best check BOL on this. Regards, Jeroen ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Image Background Removal

  I know with Frontpage and Word it is possible to take a background color out of an image and make it transparent. Is there any way to do this in VBE, or will the image background have to be removed manually with some sort of imaging tool like Photoshop beforehand You can do it with the Bitmap.MakeTransparent() method. I added a bitmap to the resources, named SampleBitmap, with a white background and added a panel to the form:   Private Sub Panel1_Paint(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles Panel1.Paint     Dim bmp As Bitmap = My.Resources.SampleBitmap     bmp.MakeTransparent(Color.White)     e.Graphics.DrawI ...Show All

• SQL Server Error when schedule a job in SQL 2005

  Hi, I have a SSIS package that contains an Execute DTS 2000 process. This DTS 2000 is calling a legacy package, which resides on the same server. The legacy package is just to import a flat file into the database. When i right click and execute this package, it runs perfectly without any errors. However, if i try to schedule this package as a job, it keeps failing. I checked the flat file source for the permission, it does have the account of the executor of the package. In the view history, i didn't see any more information about why it is failing. It keeps saying "The job failed. The Job was invoked by Schedule 10...." Does anyone have any ideas See this KB about turning on logging and general troubleshooting of ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums v3 gives an error; v2 does not

  When I call CampaignManagement.GetCampaigns(..) and reference to v3 wsdls, I catch this error: "There is an error in XML document (1, 552)."

• Visual C# Using Visual C# code in Visual Web Developer Express Edition

  for aspx development, I'm using Visual Web Developer Express Edition. Is there any way to share classes that I develop in Visual C# in Web Developer I know I can copy *.cs files to the "App_Code" folder, but I would prefer to have them both using the same file ( a la "add as link" ). Also, when I *do* copy classes to the "App_Code" folder, the web site runs fine in the Web Developer IDE, but if I try to navigate to it in my browser, I get an error message saying it doesn't recognize the class. ( This is more of a Web Developer question, I grant you, but since I'm on the subject, I hope its alright to ask... ) Thanks for any help, Kirk There is no header, Just add the dll to your pr ...Show All

• 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.

• Windows Live Developer Forums Custom popups in 3d don't dock to pushpins correctly

  I have created custom popups that dock a div to the pushpin location as described in other threads. This works fine in 2d, but in 3d the popups don't line up with the pushpins correctly. It appears that the x,y values are not correct being passed by the pushpin callback function. I have not yet found how to locate the pushpins through code to dock the div to. Has anyone figured out a work around to this yet other that randomly subtracting some value from the div placement. Marc Rempel I have hit the exact same issue last week Gascho. I am yet to solve it. For me I'm tring to get my custom popups to work in 3D, I have the "shims" working for other peices but it appears that the x and y in the callback function is off. ...Show All
