• Software Development for Windows Vista Visual Studio compatibility with Vista

  I currently run Windows XP Media Center Edition on my main development laptop. I have Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio.NET 2003 running side-by-side with no problems. Are there significant issues I should expect if I upgrade to Windows Vista Ultimate without reformatting the hard drive I don't mind doing so, but I really don't feel like re-installing all my apps all over again. If Vista does a really, really clean straight upgrade, I won't reformat. What do you think Bill This forum is geared for questions about development compatibility issues on Vista, and this is more a migration issue. You should try posting in the Vista Migration forum for a better response. http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowForum ...Show All

• SQL Server Pass data to a report?

  Hi all, We have an ASP.NET application that generates various reports and word documents. The word documents and the reports require the exact same data and we have written some rather complex functionality that generates the SQL select statements to fetch this data. The statements are currently being used to create ADO.NET DataSets which feed the word documents. How can we now get these DataSets to feed the reports too We would really, really, really like to avoid having to recreate the logic for constructing the select statements within SSRS. Can we pass the DataSets themselves, or can we serialize them to XML using the WriteXml method then pass the Xml data as parameters or is there a way to just pass the SQL to ...Show All
