• SQL Server microsoft visual studio cannot shut down because a modal dialog is active

  if i get this message one more time I am going to put my fist through my monitor I've been getting it often enough to find this thread. Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Designers Version 9.00.1399.00 XP SP2 No sourcesafe I've gotten it on pretty simple reports, with just one dataset and a few string parameters. I just got it on a slightly more complex report with two datasets sharing a single string parameter. I also have windows (properties, output, etc) that refuse to autohide sometimes. I have to get rid of them by pinning and unpinning them. It may or may not be related, but this is certainly a tough bug to reproduce. I have a feeling, likely incorrect, that it has something to do with ...Show All

  Hello I am writing an application where I want to play a wav file using windowsmedia player from inside VB. After playing this file, I wish to have my VB program wait a bit until the wav file is played, and then continue on with the next command.

• SQL Server Registry settings for service account permissions

  We are trying to configure registry settings to allow sql server service to run on a service account in SQL Server 2005. The registry has changed quite a bit from SQL 2000, and we are missing a setting in the software keys that causes sql server service not to start. If we apply permissions to all of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE, then the service starts, however company security policies do not allow this. Are there any specific keys we should look at, other than the obvious Microsoft/Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft/MSSQL keys, in which we have already granted permissions to the service account Thanks, Dave Manually changing the service account is not a supported operation.

• Windows Forms Bitmap in Datagridview

  Hi, Is it possoble to show a bitmap in DataGridView control If no, then which other type of tabular control can be used for the same Thanks, -Brajesh Sure, absolutely.  If you're using a DataTable, you'll want that particular column's type in the DataTable set to typeof(Bitmap) (or typeof(Image)) If you're using the designer to generate your DataGridView, and adding rows programmatically using dataGridView1.AddRows(), use the designer to create a DataGridViewBitmapColumn, and when you add a row, add it like this: dataGridView1.AddRow(new object[] { myBitmap}); ...Show All

• .NET Development Cascading App.config from DLL projects

  I have multiple DLL projects referenced from a Application project in my solution. I have settings in app.config files stored in each one, as the classes in the DLL libraries can be customized based on the config settings. How do you cascade the settings from the DLL projects to the application project Do you have to manually copy them What is the intended Microsoft way of handling configurable DLL settings AFAIK, System.Configuration cannot load .config files for class libraries, just the one for the main .exe. I've tried pretty hard. The IDE will build a .config for a DLL but it is of no use. Merging those into the app's .config needs to be done by hand. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Strange Problem --- SQL Server 2005 and TFS and Team System

  We are implementing TFS and have imported legacy work items from Excel spreadsheets. I want to connect two groups of these workitems as related work items by going into the dbo.LocalRelatedEdges table in the TFSWorkItemTracking database. I wrote a vb .net routine which inserts into this table the related ID's which should then show a related work item under the links tab of the Team System GUI. I used ADO.net (sqlclient.sqldataadapter) to accomplish this. The insert works correctly and the row is populated correctly in the table, but the related work item does not appear in the Team System GUI. But, if I manually go into the SQL database using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and enter the values directly into the table, the related ...Show All
