• SQL Server UK Datetime parameter problem SQL 2005 RS

  Hi, I am having a problem with the DateTime parameter option in SQL 2005 reporting services. Note that Server, workstation and database are set to British/English (UK) date/time localisation (dd/MM/yyyy) for example 25 th December 2005=25/12/2005. I create a simple query with a parameter on a datetime column and set the report parameter to Data type: DateTime in the report parameters dialog. On preview or after deployment the following behaviour is observed. Selecting 1st February 2006 in the datetime picker control populates the date parameter entry field with 01/02/2006 = 1st February 2006 (the correct UK format as expected) When View Report is clicked the datetime parameter field ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Why Can not I connect the WM5.0 device by the remote process viewer and remote heap walker?

  For the first time, I installed the Visual studio 2005 professional Edition (VS2005) first and the the Windows CE 5.0 with Platform builder 5.0 later. I find I can connect the WM5.0 device with the remote process viewer and remote heap walker provided by VS2005 and all data can be obtained successfully. However, when I reinstalled my system by installing the Windows CE 5.0 with platform builder first and VS2005 Professional Edition later, I find I can not connect the WM5.0 devices with the remote process viewer and remote heap walker (the other tools are OK) provided by VS2005 although the Activesyn shows that the WM5.0 is conncected correctly. Anyway, all the remote tools provided by VS2005 can connect with the emulator. By the remo ...Show All

• .NET Development PROBLEM WITH FTP FIREWALL IN C#

  My problem deals with the fact that I was able to FTP files to and from a friend's site that doesn't have a firewall but I now have the real FTP information and it does have a firewall and I have no idea how to FTP a file to this new FTP location. I am under severe time pressure and would like to see the commands necessary in C# and NET 2.0 to accomplish this goal. Here is an example I was given by the site administrator using DOS FTP to access and upload a file. I will change the passwords in the example below: ftp -n open edifxpbw.geia.com user yppc112 yppc110GX user 10033XDIR@edi.yppc.geia.com 15211 HENRY binary put DirectoryStart.dat %YPPC-TEST%DIR ls mblist Here is an example of an upload that I created in C# ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Intellisense???? - Extremely cheeky plug

  I'm delighted and amazed that this product is coming however I already have one RFE....object Intellisense, the like of which is done by Prompt SQL (which has just been bought by Redgate). e.g. I type a table name followed by a period (.) and intellisense pops up a list of all the columns names. Any chance of getting that in Thanks -Jamie Just out of curiosity; what level of IntelliSense are you looking for Since the SQL language is rather backwards some constructs do not lend themselves very well for IntelliSense, most easy one SELECT.

• Visual C++ GetProcAddress doesnt find the function in my dll

  Hi all! I've just started dealing with dll-s for two days, but I got stucked and dont see how to move on..so to make my first steps, with some searching I created a Test.dll with a function fnTest() in it. Exactly it's prototype in the header file looks like the following: __declspec(dllexport) int fnTest(void); If I'm using implicit linking it's ok. The trouble is on when I try to link it explicitly. HINSTANCE Testdll; Testdll = LoadLibrary("Test.dll"); They are still good, it finds the Test.dll, but the GetProcAddress returns with NULL, although it should work..(The dll is correct, it worked while linking implicitly): fnTestptr importaltfnTest; importaltfnTest = (fnTestptr)GetProcAddress(Testdll,"fnTes ...Show All

• .NET Development Validating XML Uploaded via FileUpload (ASP.NET)

  My webform allows users to upload an XML file, which I want to validate as part of a custom validator before doing anything with. This should be easy, right Problem: The XmlReader is unable to find a root node when accessing the FileUpload.PostedFile (or the equivelent Request.Files[0].InputStream). What's curious is this: I can load the stream directly into an XmlDocument without problem. I can also save it to disk and load it into a reader without problem. (So yes, I am sure that the root node exists in the filestream). Here's the basic code if anyone wants to try this out: XmlReader catalog = XmlReader.Create(Request.Files[0].InputStream); while (catalog.Read()) {} catalog.Close(); This would respond to something like: ...Show All

• Visual Studio Output File Generator

  Hi All, Can I have my own generated output file from the graph I made in debugging window based on my DSL I would like to have an XML file with certain structure that I already specified. I'm sorry if this question is already asked before. But I couldnt find it. So, if any of you have some idea or you know the link, please let me know. This is blocking to me. Thanks! Herru Herru, I'm not sure if you mean that you want to generate from your domain model / DSL definition or from an instance of your DSL. I assume you're talking about the instance. You can generate any output you like from your DSL. Check "Walkthrough: Creating and Running Text Templates" in the VS2005 SDK help. Hope it helps, Gerben. ...Show All

• Visual C++ problems creating c++ browser applet

  hi, i'm trying to create an internet explorer applet like in managed c++ in .net 1.1. i read that this may be achieved creating a user control and linking it inside the html page. I tried this from csharp and seems to work fine enough, but if i follow the same steps creating an empty c++ user control and try to open the applet i see only a rectangle. I think this is some kind of security issue, may be due to the fact that the c++ applet try to link to system libraries, because the same procedure works with csharp. I tried to create a user control in csharp and move some of the code in a c++ assembly that i linked to the csharp control, but when i try only to declare some of the type are in the c++ assembly, an exception is reaised telling ...Show All
