• Visual Studio Crystal Reports for .NET 2005 Merge Module too bulky

  Hello, I have a windows forms application using .NET 1.1, MSDE, and CR, that I deploy on CD. Now that I've migrated to .NET 2.0 and SQL Server Express, the Crystal Reports merge module (CrystalReportsRedist2005_x86.msm) is now 75MB instead of the 15MB or so. My application won't fit on a single CD. I hate to think that my distribution costs are going to double. Is there any way to create or get a slimmed-down version of the merge module that doesn't contain all the dlls I don't need For example, I only deploy to English, I don't need all the other languages. I've tried using previous versions of the merge modules, but so far no luck. I would appreciate any help at all. Thanks, Pardon my joini ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions database not saving

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. all in one shader = better performance?

  Again a question from an unexperienced user who wants maximum performance ;) I draw really a huge number of vertices and started with a simple position/normal/color vertex declaration, which worked fine. It allowed me to draw anything in just very few indexed vertices batch calls (about 20) Now I want to use some textures, too, to give the whole scene more life.I was looking at some of the normal approaches: you pass the texture to the shader and draw all vertices using this texture, switch the texture and or effect and draw the next batch, the vertex declaration would change to a position/normal/texture/(probably)color combination. As far as I can tell, if I would use 20 textures, this would in the worst case increase the number of ...Show All

• SQL Server ADO find method too slow, how should I do this

  I need an efficient way to get the absolute position of a record in a query matching a specific key value. The Find method is a serial search, too slow for big data sets. I am using both SQL Server Express and Jet 4 via ADO. One example of why I need this ..... I have a list control with a subset of a table (controlled by where clause in query). I want to save the current state of the list control and later restore it when the app restarts. I want to preserve and restore the current line selection in the list control. So, I save the key value for the current line, upon restart use the find method to locate the key, and set the list control current record index to the current absolute position. This is too slow for big data sets since the f ...Show All

  hello as stated in subject, I have problems when I try to run a single frame capture experiment. I tried the following samples: basicHLSL, stateManager and HDRLighting.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) is it possible to specify relative URI in xaml

  hi guys. is it possible to specify relative URI in xaml. It's possible. To be sure that you're clear about what the URI is relative to, you might want to investigate Pack URIs. See: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/aa970069.aspx Presumably you are asking this question because you want to link from XAML to a XAML page. If so, you can't really avoid the question of how it is that you are deploying your application and/or pages. That influences what's advisable or possible as far as relative paths between XAML pages.

• SQL Server KeepTogether header does not work correctly.

  I selected "Repeat Group Header" in my grouping properties. This is working fine; however, if a group is to start as the last line in a page, the header prints on that last line and then the header is printed once more in the next page. Consequently I end up with two consecutive headers with no detail lines in between. How do I prevent the printing of two consecutive headers for the same group I want to get rid of the one that occurs as the last line on the page. If there is only one such situation in your report, try increasing the height of the detail or the header so that it is stretched to the next page. ...Show All
