• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Remote Connection Problem... Big Time.

  Hi, I installed SQL server 2005 express edition on my windows server and I had no problem with connecting it remotely through Management Studio, then I removed it and installed a full edition SQL server 2005. That's when it's gone all wrong. Now I can't remotely connect the server through Management Studio. The error I get is the same as some of the people in this forum has which is: "An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)&qu ...Show All

• SQL Server Dynamic formatting question

  Hello, I have a dataset that returns one column of data from which some fields are supposed to appear horizontally in the report, while the rest appear line by line vertically. Is it possible to take, for example, three consecutive fields from the dataset and merge the corresponding table rows that hold these fields in the report Perhaps using an expression or custom code Thanks in advance for any help. I'd be happy to provide examples of what I need if it can help clarify the question. RLGow Not exactly sure what you are trying to do, but you can write expressions that concatenate the value of multiple fields, such as: =Fields!ColumnA.Value & Fields!ColumnB.Value & Fields!ColumnC ...Show All

• Windows Forms Sending a file path as a command line parameter

  I'm trying to associate a ClickOnce application with a file extension. The command key in the registry allows me to format a command to open my application and send the full path to the file to open as a parameter. Since this is a ClickOnce app, command line arguments are sent via a URL. Unfortunately, sending a file path as part of a URL seems to cause some problems because of unescaped characters (colon, backslash and space): *Activation of " http://www.mywebsite.com/appDir/ClickOnceApp.application open="C:\Transfer\Test File.tst "" resulted in exception. Following failure messages were detected: + Invalid URI: The URI scheme is not valid. Does anyone know of a workaround for this issue ...Show All

• Visual Studio Trouble installing the December MSDN Library

  I received the latest MSDN DVD distribution the other day. The package included the December 2006 version of the MSDN Subscriptions Library. When I try to install this updated version of the library my XP/SP2 system totally hangs trying to do something on/with the DVD. If I put the DVD in a system that does not have VS 2005 installed and does not have any previous version of the library installed I can read the DVD without any problems. My question is has anyone else seen this problem with the December library If so, have you found any workarounds other than to stay with the previous library version Thanks Neil Just FYI, I tried disabling Sonic DLA on the DVD and on one system it seemed to make things better. I was able to open the ...Show All

• Visual Basic Need To Create Search Bar For Database

  Greetings, I am completely and utterly amazed at the lack of information on how to create or employ a search bar. This is the one simple attribute that has made the internet what it is today. Nearly every program I have ever used has a search bar which, when data is entered into the textbox and the search button is clicked, it returns matching criteria. However, I have searched (Imagine That) Google, Yahoo,LearnVisualStudio.net, MSDN, and Help for three days on how to create such a simple procedure and have found nothing. What I need to do: I am creating a database where I have all my Employees Information which includes columns: [Employee Number], [Emloyee First Name], [Employee Last Name], etc.... I have created the database and ...Show All

• Visual C# Creating a wrapper DLL between C and C#?

  I have a DLL and LIB files that were written in C. The ultimate goal is to access some of their functions in C#. I'm able to successfully access them with C++, and I was hoping that I could now just make a C++ wrapper DLL to access the C files. This has the added benefit of simplifying the C# interop code, because I will no longer need to deal with null pointers or other difficult data types. But I'm having problems getting it to work, so I'm hoping for some help. Here's some example code: Abcd.lib has a function AbcdRint( double ), which returns a double. My wrapper C++ code looks like: --- #include "stdafx.h" #include "Wrapper.h" #include "abcd/abcd_inc.h" #using <mscorlib.dll> ...Show All

  I want to write a plugin to search my del.icio.us bookmarks.

Is this possible I am using WDS beta 2 Hello Greg, In order to do this, you would need to write a protocol handler for your .xml file and register the protocol handler with WDS.
