• SQL Server Datafields in report header

  Hi. I want some information stored in the database to be shown on the top of each page in my report. But in the report designer I get an error message if I try to drop a table in the header, and if I try to assign the value of a textbox in the header to e.g. "First(Fields!sometable.Value)", I get a runtime-error in the preview that says "... Fields cannot be used in page headers or footers". How can I do this Regards, Tomsi   Hi Tomsi,      you can not place a databound field in the page header directly. Instead, you can place it in the body of the report and make it hidden. you can refer to this hidden field content using the similar syntax =ReportIte ...Show All

On my local development box, when I navigate to the service in IE using something like http://isapps008996/Services/MyService/Service.svc , it displays the default (i guess) wcf page that tells you in order to use the service create proxy (etc) using svcutil.exe http://isapps008996.ci.okc/Services/MyService/Service.svc wsdl .

Now, when I deploy to another machine, I am able to navigate to the service in IE using something like http://devweb/Services/MyService/Service.svc , it displays the default w ...Show All

• Visual C# c# code parsing

  Hi all, I need a help from you regarding code parsing technique. Basically I need to parse c# code (which is a User interface class) and check for any business validation/rules written there and copy them into the corresponding business layer class. So, in order to parse the c# code do I have any readymade c# code parser (in object oriented model) so that I can make use of them to find out the validation routines, if condition, error codes, etc. Or should I only manually do string parse the c# code Regards Karthikeyan Given your requirements I think the VS extensibility model is the way to go. What you'll do is create an add-in that allows you to select a file or project (which b ...Show All

  Hi I am trying to display the items inside a list box in a multicolumn way, is it possible to do using Listbox controls…. Regards Ragu You can specify ItemsPanelTemplate, and in that specify the orientation of the StackPanel as Horizontal, something like given below.

• Visual Basic Programmatically retrieved event log EventID does not correspond to Windows EventID

  Hi, I am developing an application that reads the event log in windows. I have managed to retrieve everything correctly except the Event ID. Most EventIS's are similar but for e.g. " Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller" Windows Event-ID is 15 and when I retrieve it programatically it is 327695. Another Event ID also for this controller is 6 and 327686. The difference between both are 9. Can anyone explain this Can it be fixed Best /M In which case it would appear that the eventid is being stored with the top two bits on and .EventId is kept for compatibility in VS2005 and simply strips the bits. So all you have to do is turn them off... In the example I gave you I would ...Show All

• Visual C# Why is there a PDB file in my projects Release folder?

  This is probably a deployment question, but there doesn't seem to be a deployment section in .NET Development Forum. I thought the PDB file was only for debugging purposes, so why is there a PDB file in my bin\Release folder What are the (dis)advantages of including this file in deployment It started happen in Visual Studio 2005 only, In Visual Studio 2003 it did never happen so the thing you can see that in Visual Studio you could debug assemblies only in debug mode but in 2005 you can also debug when its set to Release.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Proxy generation problems (methods with same name)

  When I create two services which happen to have methods with the same name (not same signature) svcutil incorrectly generates the proxy types. For example if I have two services TestService1.Get(Guid id) returns Thing1 TestService2.Get(Guid id) returns Thing2 The proxy for both TestService1 and TestService2 will contain a get method with the return type of Thing1. What do I need to do so the proxy generation correctly identifies the types to return -k Svcutil command: svcutil.exe /noLogo /l:csharp /config:"TestProxy.config" /d:"C:\Temp" /out:"TestServiceProxy.cs" "http://localhost/ClaimServices/TestService1.svc" "http:// ...Show All
