• SQL Server Fields selection criteria made by user

  Hi, I am new in implementing reports with reporting services but i hope someone here will be able to help out of that problem. I already have a report (DataSet: select * from table1 ) on a server that users may render directly from a program written in VB.NET but I need to give them the possibility to put a condition on a column to filter the dataset result, like a WHERE CLAUSE. I don't know in advance the selected column name, so I suppose that I have to modify the SQL text command to incluse the text condition("Where code = '008' " as an example) before processing the report. How can I do that in code Thanks a lot. One way you could do it, not saying it's the best performance t ...Show All

• Windows Forms MAGE Removes TypeLib Information from Application Manifest

  Both Mage and MageUI remove typelib information from deployment manifests upon updates and signing. To set the scene, I am trying to deploy an application with ClickOnce (manually creating/altering) application and deployment manifests. The main application is using RegFree COM and the application manifest contains the relevant typelib information. I need to be able to update and resign the application manifest with Mage and MageUI but have discovered that updating and signing with either removes the typelib information from the application manifest file, hence I can't use RegFree COM in my application. Is this a known issue are there any workarounds Many Thanks Raj Sharma I'm getting the same proble ...Show All
