• SQL Server Text Box.. Dumb Question

  Hey guys, I have a really dumb question. In the header of my report I am trying to put in a text box. This text box should look like this. Legend Value 1 Value 2 Value 3 Here is my problem. Everytime I put in a carrige return it clears everything that I have in the box.

• Visual Studio Team System How to customize a field to be visible only as disabled textbox

  I have a problem with the customizing of a workitem which I designed new. When I add a new one programmatically, an id will be generated. This id appears in the workitem in a normal textbox (with white background). I want to change this id only programmatically, so it should be displayed in a box in the type of for example "system.title" (with grey backround and not editable). How could I realize this If you mean that you want to display the system.id field in your work item as a read-only field, I think it will do this by default, since this is a special core field, whose value is assigned by the server and cannot be changed. To display it you need to add it to the <FORM> layout sect ...Show All

• SQL Server Two Newbie Reports Questions

  Hi, I have a report with 3 parameters. One of which is Company name. To get the available list for this I use a query: select distinct name from companies, etc. However, I also want the user to be able to select "All" or an equivalent to get all the companies. I tried putting * and % in the default values (non-query), but the drop down list displays "<select a value>".

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Adding a macro to excel using C# in asp.net

  I am creating a customized excel report for my company using a webpage. Part of the excel file is a macro to handle printing though, and I can't seem to get it to work correctly. The code works... The page building the report impersonates a user that has access to Excel. Excel files can be created but, when I attempt to add the print macro I recieve this error: Programmatic access to Visual Basic Project is not trusted The user being impersonated has the security setting in excel set to: Trust access to Visual Basic Project I discovered on accident that if the impersonated user is actually logged in on the server that the code executes as expected, every time.

But I failed in finding out which adress to use and how to "read" the nececarry pin. I would appreciate any help! Sabine ...Show All

• Visual Basic How Do I: 1 Form 1 UserControl - 2 Instances of UC on Form Each In its own Thread?

  I have a User control that does some heavy Database work, I have two of them on the form, (a source and destination) being that they pull from different servers, I wanted to beable to let each one load at the same time, I'm not new to threading, but I'm no Expert.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectX Asks the user for IP address - Help me please!

  I'm aiming to produce a P2P chat engine using DirectPlay. I have the basic system up and running, but when the client connects to the network (my computer is the host), it asks the user for an IP address. I was wondering how to supply it with an IP address so that the user doesn't have to know my address in order to chat. they will allways need an address to connect. If u don't like to provider your ip directly, use a dns. If u don't want the application to ask for the server address, add it as a setting in the client application. Altho when adding the server as a settings, still beter to use a dns, in case your ip might ever change, u can just change your dns and the clients wont notice any changes. If ure ip is suplied as ...Show All
