• Visual Studio Refreshing Server report in Win Form control

  I have a Report Viewer control that I am displaying two diffirent reports in depending on a users selection on a seperate screen. My problem is that the user can select to view all records from a query or select a collection of records. Either way the records that are selected are inserted into a table and the report pulls it's data from this table. My problem is that if I choose to have reports for all the records the RV shows up correctly, but if I go back and select only a few records the RV still shows the previous collection of all the records. The RV is in a seperate form and on the first form I change a app variable to the specific report path, generate the data in the table and open the report form. When the report form is opene ...Show All

  Hiya people, I got a little problem with some downloads. I've installed VBasic and WebDev from a CD, and wanted to try out the rest of the express pack,so I've visited the downloads website and downloaded the approx. 2MB IEsetup files for each part.

• Visual Basic Changing ConnectionString at runtime

  In my application, i am not sure where will be the database. So i thought to put the connection string in app.conf file. So that i may read it runtime and create connection. Working good. But what if i have to change the connectionString define in app.conf at runtime It may not be necessary that i must use app.conf, you people can suggest me one better approach so that i may not be dependent on databasestring. It could be created/change at runtime. Hi MSDN covers FileSystemWatcher adequately, but there is a VB article here http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/folderwatcher.asp that you might find useful for getting started. The fsw can be used to notify your code at runtime of a change to a file, so you can accommodate the change. ...Show All

• SQL Server Toggle Item Functionality Lost in Excel Export

  I have a report with 3 tables (all of which use toggle items), and their visiblity is based on a user-entered parameter. This works perfectly for what I'm trying to accomplish and looks good in the report manager. However, when it is exported to Excel, I lose all of my toggle items and everything in the particular table is displayed. If I remove the visiblity expression and show all 3 tables all the time, the toggle items work as expected in Excel. Any ideas Here is the Hidden expression I am using on the tables: =iif(Parameters!ReportView.Value = "TEST" , false , true ) I have still not been able to find a way around this issue. And the only other opinion I can think of is to creat ...Show All

• Windows Forms Retrieve Object from ListBox

  I've got a OleDBDataReader object whose values I want to store in a ListBox for user interaction. The values I'm storing in the ListBox are the users first and last name (this is the displayed values). And I'm storing in the ListBox the users Social Security Number.

• Visual Studio Crystal reports XI R2 and Visual Studio 2005 issues

  Has anyone got this error after updating (fresh install) to Crystal Reports XI R2 with reports in Visual Studio 2005 I am posting here because I am not sure if it is a Crystal reports XI R2 bug or a Visual Studios 2005 problem. I thought it might be that my programming was wrong so I tried the samples that come with R2. If anything these should work since the people who developed the software wrote the examples. Even the examples gave me these same errors.
