• Visual Studio Load Report Failed

  Hi, We are experiencing  intermittent problems with our embedded crystal reports not loading consistently. The reports run for a period of time and then for no apparent reason will not load . The web application is hosted on a Windows 2000 Server  and we utilized a MSI deployment package to install application  on the server.   The error that is thrown is " Load report failed. ---    at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportClientDocumentWrapper.EnsureDocumentIsOpened()" Our fix has been to reset IIS or reboot the server, afterwhich the reports work. We are using the Developers Edition of CR Xi SR2 in Visual Studio 2005. Any help would be greatly appreciated.   ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Unable to set default folder to custom namespace using clsid as parameter to open file dialog

  Hi, I'm using VC6/MFC. The following code CFileDialog dlg(TRUE) ; dlg.m_ofn.lpstrInitialDir = "::{<clsid>}" ; dlg.DoModal() ; where <clsid> is the id of a shell namespace (e.g. Recycle Bin is {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}) allows an app to set the initial dir for a file dialog to a special folder or a custom namespace extension (though I can't find this documented anywhere). This works fine on Win2k, 2003, and XP (and, indeed, 9x) On Vista RC2, no matter which namespace clsid is given, the dialog always opens at Documents. I haven't been able to test on the RTM version of Vista. I need to make it use my namespace extension as the default dir. So, my questions are: 1) Is this still broken on the released versi ...Show All

• Visual C# c# method, event wizard

  Hi, am starting to work my way through a tutorial book, trying to learn C#. It tells me to run the C# Method Wizard, by right-clicking an existing Class in Class View and selecting Add > Add Method. There is no Add option in Visual Studio 2005 (which I am using). I have looked around for about an hour trying to locate the Method Wizard, but the help does not tell me anything more than it is there. Has this been rtemoved from Studio 2005 If not, how do I access it Not being able to find it is making following the tutorial very difficult. Thanks in advance ityu Anson, Well then you could have also had all references removed from the documentation!!! I just spent an hour trying to get that wizard to p ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions newbie qn - VB vs VBA processing speed

  Hi guys, please excuse me if this is a dumb question. I've written a programme in VBA in Excel, a Sudoku solver. The program runs entirely within a user form, doesn't use any worksheetfunctions and only uses the excel interface for the button to press to launch the userform - the calculations are all done in an array variable, and the results copied to a microsoft office owc11 spreadsheet control embedded in the userform. I've now written the same programme using virtually the same code, in VB Express. With a bit of tweaking, the programme is now running as a stand-alone application and works properly. However the VB version is more than 7 times slower than the VBA version (the programme has a timer in it, so I can tell). How c ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do I make a form read only (vb.net)

  Hi, I'm aiming to create a form to display non editable information. I am aware that I can set the enabled property to false, however this greys out the information and I dont want this. Is there any way I can make the form (or the controls on it) read only Thanks Sorry, I should have been clearer in explaining what I am trying to do:- I have a form which I want to be able to open in 2 scenarios 1. For data input, 2. for Viewing Only, therefore I do not want to set the properties at design time, I want to set them when the form is opened for viewing only. Is this possible Thanks Again! ...Show All

• SQL Server Recovery from windows failure

  Hi all, We've got a problem with our server in that Windows has totally died - a routine upgrade appears to have gone wrong and the repair function of the Windows installer keeps getting stuck in a loop so I've given up on that front. What I was wondering is: 1. If I install a fresh copy of Windows 2003 R2 over the top of the existing install will that kill MSSQL Sever 2005 and/or Windows Sharepoint Services 2. If so, is there a simple way to get them back 3. If I install another copy of Windows on the D: drive is there a recommended way to move the MSSQL databases & Sharepoint to the newer install or a way of pointing the new install at the old databases I'm not an admin person (i'm a developer normally) so I haven't got a lot of bac ...Show All

• Visual Studio EnvDTE80.TextDocumentKeyPressEvents.BeforeKeyPress randomly not working?

  Hi, I have hooked up the EnvDTE80.TextDocumentKeyPressEvents.BeforeKeyPress in an addin I wrote to check out from Perforce when a read-only file is modified. It works fine most of the time. But after a while, I just stop getting the event. It doesn't seem related to switching solutions or anything like that. The only way to get the functionality back is to restart the IDE. I register the event handler in Connect.OnConnection, and the addin is constantly loaded. Anyone have any ideas I can circumvent it by re-registering the event, but that's a hack. Could this be a problem to do with the Connect class being destroyed after some time Cheers, Rory Yes, that TextEvents. FWIW, I have updated ...Show All

• SQL Server sproc to determine if query will produce Invalid SqlNotificationEventArgs event

  I'm using an SqlDependency so I'll get an alert when the data under a query changes. When the query does not meet the criteria spelled out here http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aewzkxxh.aspx then I immediately get a SqlNotificationEventArgs event with the "Invalid" note. This is good. I would like to know that a query is invalid before I try it with my ASP.NET application. Is there a sproc I can give to my SQL developers so they can test that they haven't used any stuff that would invalidate SqlDependency What I'm hoping is that there's already a system sproc which could be called... exec sp_QueryInvalidForNotification "exec myTestSproc 99" Does such a sproc exist Or does anyone know how to write one ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums DEP blockin Live Messenger 8.1

  Why does DEP keep block my Live Messenger how do i overcome this problem I'm having the same problem with all versions of msn. I upgraded to Flash 9,0,28,0 - no change. I tried the 'run as administrator' workaround mentioned above and the box is grayed out, so I cannot use this solution. I tried going into system>advanced>performance>settings>DEP and manually adding the msn executable to the allow list but vista tells me that this program must be run with DEP enabled.  Running vista home premium. I'm sorry, but this is just funny. Why would microsoft release vista when its own programs don't work on it. This is a clean install too - straight out of the box.  ...Show All
