• SharePoint Products and Technologies Is it possible to show a Windows User Control in Sharepoint?

  Hi, I have a website that has a control that is shown in a web page. Is it possible to add this user control in a Sharepoint page Doing it in a aspx or ascx page is easy, but then when I try in Sharepoint I get an empty control. Any help is greatly appreciated. Xavier Chris is on the right track. Wrapping it in a web part also allows you to set properties on your control through the personalization engine.. something to think about when you build the we part. ...Show All

• Visual Basic FileUpload - How do I trap maxfilesize problems

  The fileupload control works well for files < 4MB (maxrequestlength), but if the file is larger than this the program fails with: - the page cannot be displayed, or Server error in '/xxxxx' application Maximum request length exceeded How do I trap this so that I can return a better error message The failure occurs before the Page Load from any callback, so I can't see any way of trapping the error, and I haven't seen any event or property of the Fileupload control that I can set to say "Do this when Max Request Length is exceeded" I don't want to accept larger files, I'm happy to live with the limit. Regards, Robert Barnes why donot you increase the maxRequest ...Show All

• SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS)

  Hey everyone...I'm completely new to SQL Server and I'm trying to learn the Reporting Services tool. I just installed SQL Server 2005 and selected to install all the options, atleast I'm 99.99% sure I did. When I go to launch Report Services Configuration, I get "No report servers were found on the specified machine. Details: Invalid namespace".

• Software Development for Windows Vista under Vista, Studio 2005 is crashing only on somes solutions

  Hi, Since a couple of days, I encounter a strange behaviour under Studio 2005 C++. When I try to load somes previously created solutions, projects reloading perfectly but 1 or 2 seconds after items are displayed in the solution explorer, Studio crash. But strangely, all others solutions opens without any problem. I think the pb. come from Intellisense which is confused by some of my C/C++ files. But more strangley : I can't reproduce this bug on XP. So I guess that the problem come from the Vista + VS2005 combo . I'm rather irritated because, the trial period for Vista is very short, so I will not be able to test it anymore and report feedback. For now, disapointedly I switched back to XP. The bug occurs with the Express version of VS2005, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO 2005 - Problem loading excel file from web server URL caused by IE Information Bar.

  Hi, I have a problem loading an excel report from a url on a web page . In the system I am developing I want to keep the excel report data in a database and load it into an excel file to the display to the user when requested. The user can browse the reports currently saved in the system via a web page which is also looking at the database. When the user clicks on a report link on the web page a httphandler on the web server intercepts the call, sets the reportid recieved in a url parameter as a cached item in the server document and then streams the excel document back to the client. When excel opens on the client it reads the cached item and then calls a web service to populate the data in the worksheet using the report id. I am trying ...Show All
