• Visual Studio Manipulating Crystal Row Data

  I need to manipulate row-level data in a Crystal Report (XI R2) after the report has run in a WinForm. I don't see anything in the Crystal's .Net object model that would allow me to do this. The closest thing I see is an apparently undocumented "Rows" property (a CrystalReportDataView collection) available in the ReportDocument object that allows me to read the data (via a DataRowView property). A set of member functions exist that imply the data is editable, but they seem to have no effect in practice. Does anybody know of a method to directly manipulate this data Preferably a documented way in case they decide to change things down the road Thanks. You should use a dataset to get your data and ...Show All

• .NET Development Security Exception on socket connection

  I have developed an ActiveX control in C# using VisualStudio.NET 2005. The control assembly has the COM Visible attribute. I have inserted the control in an HTML page, under IIS. The control tries to establish a socket connection with the same IP address from which the html page is loaded, but on a different port: 4321 The connection fails with a Security Exception. How can I avoid this Thank you. Luigi Fonti I was aiming that post at Durgaprasad, as I hadn't found any information that those right were available to general code. However, I have now.

• Visual Basic Numbers and date format in Visual Studio Reports (.rdlc)

  I am using an english version of visual studio 2005. I am from a spanish spoken country (CHILE!). Until now when I program, I can change the format of numbers and dates to the formats use in my country. The problem is that I need to format numbers in the reports that I create in visual studio. The reports are in the format .rdlc. I need that the numbers have as a decimal separator a comma (,) and as a number separator of thousands a period (.). In the case of date format, instead of showing the report the day "Monday, 12 of Febrary", I need to appear the name "Lunes 12 de febrero". How can I do this in my reports since I have a english version of the program Thanks in advance Mike ...Show All

• .NET Development "aspnet_regiis -prov" option not working? (encrypting .config sections)

  Any idea as to why this works: aspnet_regiis -pe "connectionStrings" -app "/TestApp" And this doesn't: aspnet_regiis -pe "connectionStrings" -app "/TestApp" –prov "RSAProtectedConfigurationProvider" The only difference is the addition of the "-prov" option in the second command. In theory, both commands are equivalent, as "RSAProtectedConfigurationProvider" is the default provider (as used in the first command). It's almost as if the -prov is an unrecognized option. When I run with the second command, all I get is the list of aspnet_regiis options. Has anyone else encountered this Try putting the -prov after the -pe such as aspnet_ ...Show All

• Visual Basic Deployment on Terminal Server

  What user rights must be set on the TS to allow users to run a application (VB2005). I have published the application the the TS, but only the administrator can run it. I made sure that CRWXI-2 is installed on the TS and all the other bells and wistles are present. When the user tries to run the application, it will go throught the phase to check for an update, but then nothing happens. It's just not running..... What I'm I doing wrong or of more value, what should I do to publish to a terminal server and what must the Administrator do to get the users to run the apllication.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA Framework runs fine in Visual Studio 2005 Standard

  I was a bit suprised to hear that XNA only worked on Visual Studio Express, but apparently that was just the XNA Game Studio Express which basically gives you all you need for Windows and XBox 360 development. But say if you just want to make a PC game, you can go ahead and install the XNA Framework, add it to your WinForm project, and it will run fine from there. For instance, I just created a empty WinForm project using Visual Studio 2005 Standard, added the Microsoft.Xna references and finally added an initialization and render method. I compiled the application and had no side effects whatsoever. I believe Microsoft wants to enable Windows developers free tools to do what they please, but when it comes to XBox 360 games, of course ...Show All

• Visual Studio load report failed

  I deployed an ASP.NET 2.0 crystal report website to a production server and everytime they user clicks on the print or export button, I get the "load report failed" error. I created a setup and deployment project and added in the Merge Modules and deployed on the target machine; everything works fine for a little bit. What bothers me is that it works ok for about two times, after about two times it starts to error out. I read an article that suggested giving the temp folder full access to the ASP.NET account; I did that but nothing helped.
