• SQL Server Set parameter Default value to blank disappear ??

  Hi all, I have a very strange behavior, I have a parameter which multi-valued and the values comes from a Query. I have checked the box "Allow Blank" I set the default value to "Blank". I click OK on the Report Parameters window, come back to Report Parameters and the default value is simply gone ! Does anyone have the same behavior An other point, I see in BOL: "A multivalued parameter must include at least one value. Null values are not allowed." I'm just wondering why What's the problem to return a Null value for a multivalued parameter OK, that's the answer for the Null but what about the Allow Blank In my scenario I have 2 multi-valued parameters ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Development enviromnet setup

  Hi, We are tried to dsign a new developmnet enviromnet and upgrade from VS2003 to VS2005. In order to benefit from the features that VS2005 Team edition has, we think to have one release VS2005 team edition to benefit from the architecture release and many Profesional release. In this design, will the architecture be able to manage the code of all the developers I understand that you want to buy some Team System Archtecture Edition licenses and some Professional Visual Studio licenses, you won't have any problem with the code, the only "problem" you will have is that you won't be able to use the architecture diagrams on the professional editions, but the code and the projects are th ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Question about doing changing focus and navigation in one tick

  Dear All, I encountered a situation which caused much trouble to us...: Assume there are 3 buttons: Top1, Top2 and Bottom1, Top2's navLeft is set to Top1, and Bottom1's navLeft is set to Bottom1 (it self). When the focus is at Bottom1, and the user pressed left key, there is a keydown callback function in java script, which will catch the left key and set focus to Top2 by using setProperty() function. But the java script did not call stopPropagation() to stop this key down event to the markup. So when the user actually pressed left key on Bottom1, the js engine will set the focused element to Top2, and then in the markup handler the left key event is processed, then the focused element is set to Top1. All these actions are ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO Runtime Installation

  I noticed the below in the MSDN documentation concerning the VSTO runtime installation. "How to: Install the Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime - You do not need to install Microsoft Office applications on computers that you install the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime on. For example, you can install the runtime on a server and use the ServerDocument object to access document files. If you do need Office applications on the computer, install them before you install the runtime. If you install Office after installing the runtime, you must run VSTOR.exe again and repair the installation." This seems like a hassle, since the end-user will install my app and I have no control over whether they install it before and/or afte ...Show All

• SQL Server [ActiveX Script Task] Error: Retrieving the file name for a component failed with error code 0x001B6438.

  This error occurs when the ActiveX task tries to execute: [ActiveX Script Task] Error: Retrieving the file name for a component failed with error code 0x001B6438. Anybody know how to troubleshoot these errors I can't find anything on this error code. The same script works in DTS. ActiveX scripts in SQL Jobs (all versions) appear to have a major bug in that they report Error: 14277 whenever the string " createobject( " appears more than once anywhere in the script.

• Visual Basic Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from 'Utilities.MessageBox.Products' to 'Utilities.MessageBox.Products'

  This error has me completely baffled. We have a property on one of our UserControls which takes something of type Utilities.MessageBox.Products (we wrote our own message box for the purposes of our program). Public Enum Products As Integer Prod1 = 1 Prod2 = 2 Prod3 = 3 End Enum It is all declared properly, everything has a unique type. The compiler tells me that I should cast it: Me.Sheet.Product = CType(Utilities.MessageBox.Products.Prod1, MessageBox.Products) Which gives me the exact same compiler error on the first argument into CType (how can you get a conversion type error inside a cast at compile time !). Anyway, this makes no sense, something is seriously wrong. Has anyone encountered this before I don't want to turn off ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums WL Toolbar buttonwindow disappears after click

  I'm trying to build a button windows on my Gmail Preview button to sign into Gmail. I have the login part setup through Google's account API, and I can enter my password into it and click the sign in button and it tries to sign in to Google. The problem is that when I enter something in the email field of the login panel and click somewhere else to enter my password or to click the sign in button, the button window disapperates. How can I fix this It would also work to be able to use the Tab button to navigate through the fields and sign in button, but that currently doesn't work either.
