• SQL Server Printing at the bottom of report

  I need to print a subreport at the bottom of the last page of the report and I can't find a way to do it. Can't use page footer for it because subreports are not allowed in the page footer. Help please!!! I have the same problem. In Crystal I am able to print at bottom of the page. Does Microsoft or anyone have any idea if this feature will be added Print at Bottom of Page (Crytsal Reports) This check box causes each group value to print only at the bottom of a page. (Details continue to print in their normal positions.) The command is useful for printing invoices and other reports where you want a single group (for example, line items grouped by order number) to appear on a page and the value for that group (subtotal, summary fi ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. question on classes in XNA

  ok...this is a very basic question, but stopping me from doing anything useful. I'm trying to create a basic "Sprite" class, but the telesense doesn't even recognize the class object I am creating. Are classes somehow shut off in XNA or am I missing something simple here This code below makes C# angry Sprite mySprite; mySprite = new Sprite(); mySprite.x = 5; My guess is that you're trying to assign values to the properties of your sprite class outside of a procedure. Move the code where you are assigning values to the sprite object to within a procedure and you should have the intellisense start working. So something like this. Sprite soccerBall = new Sprite(); protected voi ...Show All

• Visual C# How to read a binary file into String?

  Please note my binary here does not mean the 1s and 0s, but those unprintable characters. I tried to use File.ReadAllText() but found that the data has been changed. And if I use File.ReadAllBytes(), then I found that in order to convert Byte[] to String, I need to define an encoding. But the data is not a language text but actually some image data. What is the best way to convert a byte array of unprintable character to String Please help. I will grade your answer. Thanks thanks for all the replies. i found a stupid to do it. I read the content as byte[] by using File.ReadAllBytes() Then convert each byte (typecast it to integer) to Hex. Then do my adding of text to the context. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Vista Slide Show -- No such interface supported

  When I click to view the photo in the Slide Show gadget that ships with Vista, I see a dialog box that has the path to the .jpg and below that "No such interface supported." I get the same message when I open Windows Photo Gallery, right-click on a .jpg, and select Open With... Photo Gallery Viewer. (After clicking "OK" here I see a second dialog with "System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'shimgvw' or one of its dependencies.") I can, however, double-click a .jpg in Windows Explorer, and it opens the file and displays the photo in Windows Photo Gallery, apparently using the Photo Gallery Viewer. When I first installed Vista, I was about to view photos using the Slide Show g ...Show All

• SQL Server Setting the chart scale

  Hey guys, I'm stuck on this one. I have several bar graphs on a report arranged vertically (one on top of the other). I want all the graphs to be the same scale so that they are comparable. Note, these must be different graphs and cannot be combined into one uber graph. Anyway, I've tried variuous settings on my bar graph's scale properties minimum and maximum but they just don't work. It makes me think I don't know what they do. Any ideas here I want my bar graphs to always have the same scale. Any help would be great. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) <acksTo> set to anonymous even though <replyTo> is not

  Hi We're running a Request-Reply scenario using reliable messaging, but seem to have some problems with WCF setting the <acksTo> header in the CreateSequence message to anonymous. We've tried setting replyTo explicitly, and even though replyTo is not anonymous the acksTo keeps being set to anonymous. Does anyone have an idea of how to make WCF use the replyTo address (or any other address for that matter) in acksTo Thanks, Pat >What binding are you using I'm using a custom binding, using RM, Security and HTTP transport (no composite duplex in other words). >How are you explicitly setting the ReplyTo I set the ReplyTo header on the Message object before sending it via the pro ...Show All

• SQL Server login failed for user '(null)'| trusted connection

Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection When I upload the report rdl to our server and use an established data source the report works fine.
