• Visual Studio Team System SQL not found

  I thought I did well following the install instructions but I must have missed something because when I install the application tier in dual-server I get warnings that the data tier can't be found. "Can't find SQL agent and about 4 other SQL errors. This would be just after entering the database server name. I've verified that all the new database are there and the setup account is a sysadmin. I've login to the database with the setup user from the foundation server and all seems fine. Any help on troubleshotting this would be appreciated. make sure the services are running on the data tier make sure (use the surface area configuration tool if desired) that remote TCP connections are allo ...Show All

• SQL Server Cell Drillthrough in Reporting Services 2005

  Hi, I’ve build a report in reporting services 2005, based on a MOLAP cube (Analysis Services 2005). In the cube I’ve enabled drillthrough. I know that we can define drillthrough in the report by clicking on one of the members of the dimension hierarchy, but that’s not what I want. I want to be able to drillthrough on a cell. Is there any way how to do that in Reporting Services 2005 Thanks, Abdel Please note the the original question was asking about a drillthrough action in the cube. If you just want the user to drilll through to another report, you can use the SSRS navigation feature. To do so, right-click on the textbox which will be use for drillthrough and choose Pro ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista I have a problem..

  hi I am working in a project. Acc. to my scenario, a worker fills a form and then manager approve or reject the worker's request but after the worker fills the form, manager cannot reply the request immediately. The workflow should wait the response of the manager. How to do this break without a problem and how to continue the workflow from that point. Please help me. In you case, one quick & dirty solution is to store the workflow instance in your service; that works , but it's not a good idea because the service is supposed to be used by several workflow instances. The best solution is to pass the workflow instance id as parameter of you fireEvent method. To have more details watch this ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Welcome!

     Welcome to this new forum, which is part of the SharePoint forums group that contains a comprehensive set of forums designed to cover all aspects of SharePoint Products and Technologies. I’ve held off on having these forums created for over a year because we already had a handful of newsgroups in place, but the benefits (search, moderation, filtering, stats, flexibility, planned enhancements, etc.) and the recent surge in usage have convinced me that it’s finally the right time to embrace forums as the de facto channel for community Q&A and discussion .      This particular forum is for topics about installation/setup and upgrade/migration as well as administration and operation.

• Software Development for Windows Vista CorrelationManager.ActivityId changes when in a method under Workflow

  I am having an issue with the CorrelationManager.ActivityId changing on me when I am running inside of Workflow. I understand that the CorrelationManager utilizes the CallContext to store its state, but I can't figure out why the ActivityId is a different guid when running under Workflow. In fact, the ActivityID is set to the WorkflowInstanceId. Within my workflow method I can do a CallContext.LogicalGetData("System.Diagnostics.Trace.CorrelationManagerSlot").Peek and get out the stack in the same position I expect but if I do a CallContext.GetData("E2ETrace.ActivityID").ToString or (Trace.CorrelationManager.ActivityID same thing) I get the WorkflowInstanceId. This is causing me much difficulty when trying to log a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Locked for check-out error on rename but lock status not shown by tf status command.

  I'm working with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Explorer Service Pack 1 (KB918525) against Visual Studio Team Foundation Server Service Pack 1 (KB922996) using SQL Server 2005 Standard Service Pack 1. While attempting to rename a file I was presented with an error dialog indicating "The item [item:omit] is locked for check-out by [user:omit] in workspace [workspace:omit]." At the time, I was working with Source Control Explorer in a different workspace so I switched workspaces to the one indicated in the error and attempted to undo pending changes. However, there were no pending changes. So I dug out a command line and ran the following tf status [item:omit] /workspace:[workspace:omit] /format:detailed /recursive ...Show All

• Windows Forms Displaying Good Quality Graphics in a large Simulation

  Hi Guys and Gals, My first forum post here so lets hope I get a good solution :D. Im a 4th year student at SLIIT (Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology) and Im doing my final year project right now. Our group decided to build a traffic flow simulator that simulates real life scenarios (100 vehicles heading in one direction, the roads getting jammed, etc. etc) using AI agents (cars mostly). Now the question I want to ask is, I will have to show all these entities moving around, and since we plan to model a large area there will be lots of objects moving around and interacting with each other. Im pretty new to C# (I used mainly Java) and I doubt the best way to show all this graphics is to just dump them on the main form . So whats t ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista [Bugreport] GetStartupInfo problem under WOW64 on 64 bit Vista

  I'm encountering a strange problem with the STARTUPINFO::lpReserved2 field when running under WOW64 on Vista 64. As you probably know, lpReserved2 is used as a pointer to data which the parent wants to give to the child process started with CreateProcess. The accompanying cbReserved2 field is set to the size of the data lpReserved2 points to. The data is copied to the child by the CreateProcess call, so that the child can access this data by calling GetStartupInfo(). The C Runtime lib MSVCRT.DLL uses this feature and MSDN Library consequentially documents cbReserved2 and lpReserved2 as "Reserved for use by the C Run-time". Well, we don't use the C runtime, rather providing our own. So we're using the cbReserved2 and lpReserved2 f ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office The default behavior to click and open a ".dot" file

  I developed a word template, mytemplate.dot, using VSTO. When an user clicks the "mytemplate.dot" file, I see two different behaviors on different machines: 1: The word starts with "document1.doc" as the default word document name. 2: The word starts with "mytemplate.dot" and tries to update the template. The second behavior is not what I want. How to avoid the second one progrmatically with VSTO Thanks, Yuhang. You can't change the second behavior, as this is a problem with the profile's Windows configuration. To see what I mean, right-click a *.dot file in Windows explorer. When things are configured according to the installation default, NEW should be bo ...Show All
