• Visual Studio VS.Net 2005 does not create the .vb class for Crystal Report

  In Visual Studio 2005 , when I try to add a new Crystal Report file to my project, VS does not generate the .vb file , so I cannot instantiate a report object from the class. We are 2 in the same situation, and we tried to uninstall / reinstall VS.Net 2005 but that didn't helped. I tried the same thing in VS.Net 2003 and it's working... In VS 2005 this is expected behavior for web applications. The whole reason for vb files to be created was so that it would be compiled into the application, but this only worked for windows applications. Instead you need to use a ReportDocument object. Import CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine Dim myReport As new ReportDocument() myReport.Load(Server.MapPath(" ...Show All

• Visual Studio Is there a Multivalue property for (Select All)

  The article "Using Parameters in Expressions" in SQL Server 2005 Books Online ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337293.aspx ) discusses various properties of Multivalue Parameters, for instance: =Parameters!<MultivalueParameterName>.IsMultiValue What I don't see is a property that exposes the True/False value of the (Select All) option. Obviously, the reportViewer is aware of this value, but it does not appear exposed in the API. We are very interested in evaluating if the user has selected the (Select All) option.

• Visual C# Typing in Visual Studio 2005 Text Editor is extremely slow

  Has anyone else noticed that typing in Visual Studio 2005 is extremely slow   Whey I type it seems that the screen is always 2 words behind where my hands are.  It makes it extremely frustrating to get anything done. I'm mainly referring to C# code.  It seems like Intellisense is going nuts trying to guess every word I'm going to type and never actually prints the characters to the screen. Has anyone else experienced this   Is there an option I can turn off to get my text editor back ! By the way, I have a very fast computer with Dual 3.0 GHz Zeons with 3GB memory and everything else that should make "typing" very fast. I tried this solution, but made no difference for me. Typing is still dreadfully slow for larg ...Show All

• Visual C# Another word about Enumerations

  Hello All. I wonder if I could get you folks to check my thinking on this, because I'm wondering if there isn't some aspect of enums that I'm overlooking. Now, as I understand it, an enum consists of an ordered set of named integer constants with the ability to reference the name of the constant as a string. So, the salient points are these: named: good for code readability constant: good for switch statements integer: good for control statements and indices; bad for type consistency string: good for basic output; n/a for localized output Okay, the app I'm designing has several collections and matrices representing various states and lookups, so I really need named integers for indexing in order to keep the cod ...Show All

• .NET Development Newby of Newby questions

  As a seasoned programmer, I am used to writing extensive code to accomplish the unordinary. Of course I would write COM objects, and my own function libraries to approach OOP. Now it's time to move from VB6 to VB.NET, with it's promise of less code and less time. As you might expect however, .NET takes much more time, due to the hundreds of classes in the Framework that I am as yet unfamiliar with. As with any language, once you get through the familiarization zone, you're good. .NET is clearly going to take more time than usual, and I'm optimistic about the outcome. There are many things that just don't make sense to me yet. For example, today I wanted to use HttpUtility. I only know that because someone herein sugg ...Show All

• .NET Development CLR and MyBase.Dispose() in WinForms

  I'm curious on how the CLR determine which flag to send as argument to VS2005Designer-generated MyBase.Dispose()-function if I close an application by calling <appl>.Exit only. Clearly it is boolean True (dispose both managed and unmanaged memory). The thing is that when I use <appl>.Exit, i.e call MyBase.Dispose(True) indirectly the application takes very long time to close down. If I, on the other hand, call MyBase.Dispose(False) explicitly the application close down immediatly. Is there anywhere I can tune CLR as regards these flags Dispose(True) is the normal call from your own code, Dispose(False) is reserved for the finalizer. The former takes care of a lot of cleanup; obviousl ...Show All

• Windows Forms Sort Icons in ListView Control Header

  Hi, How can I add sort icons (symbols like up arrow and down arrow) in a ListView Control's header If you look at the ColumnHeader class, you'll see that it has ImageIndex, ImageKey, and ImageList properties. So create an ImageList with the two icons, connect it to the column headers ImageList property, and set the ImageIndex/ImageKey property, and away you go. Only problem is that the image is to the LEFT of the text, not the right. If it HAS to be to the right, I have sometimes just used small V ("v") and Caret ("^") after the header text. ...Show All

• SQL Server Connection Manager Keeps External Metadata information

  We have a Main package and which is calling 2 more other packages. The first package contains a connection and we are using a Dataflow task. The data flow task has OleDB Data source which is taking getting columns using a Stored Procedure. And the output we need to write in a Flat File. The second Package also contains the same(The same Tasks, Database and Stored Procedure Calling) The difference is in the stored procedure Parameters. Based on the different parameters Stored procedures returns the different Columns and Rows output. When we are trying to Get the second package output in OleDb Data source it shows all the columns which is the output of the First Package because it stores External Meta Data.
