• Visual Studio Creating an ASP.NET page using ReportViewer control in VS2003

  This is probably very simple. However, I have not found a way to add the ReportViewer control in Visual Studio 2003. Currently, I am using .NET 1.1 and Reporting Services 2005. I know it is possible to create ASP pages for RS2005, but I have yet to find the solution. Thanks oh.. btw, to add reportviewer, you need to add the reference webforms.reporting. i can't remember the exact reference name cos i couln't check now. hth... ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Winform inside workflow activity.

  Sorry for my poor english. I want to create an activity that show a winform(F0001) in its execute method. This activity lives inside a sequential activity(SEQ0001). Later, an MDI Form launches the sequential activiy(SEQ0001) in order to show the F0001 form. It's possible do it Any problem with ui threads . Thanks in advance. Hi Alberto, You can do it. If you create a form and do a ShowDialog() it will work but I would advise against it. The problem is that the activity would remain running for as long as the form is open, blocking the runtime from giving the thread to other pending workflows. A better solution would be to show the form in another thread, have the Activity Execute() return Executing and sen ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Cannot Open Word Docs from Source Control Explorer

  Our project's design team is using VS 2005 Team Explorer to maintain MS Word requirements documents under Source Control. Five workstations were configured by installing VS 2005 Team Explorer, SP1, and Policy Add-in that requires comments with check-in. Only two of the five workstations cannot open Word documents from within Source Control Explorer. A double-click or right-click > View shows an hour glass for a split second, then nothing. A double-click on the file from Windows Explorer or anywhere else in the OS is fine. Under VSS, these workstations behaved correctly. I've reviewed this thread ( http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=917959&SiteID=1 ) and the solution it provides either doesn't work or d ...Show All

• .NET Development Deploying certificates for wse 3.0 web services

  Hi everyone I was wondering if someone could help. We have an app and web services that we have built, the web services are secured using WSE 3.0 with certificate based authentication. Whilst everything has been developed we have been using test certificates but now we are getting close to the deployment stage. I have been trying to look for some information on how to use certificate based security in a production enviroment, but really can't find a great deal. I have been speaking to verisign to get a certificate that can be used but when it comes to deploying that certificate my mind is hitting a brick wall. Also this application will be deployed via click once. Can anyone help or has already used WSE 3.0 certificate security in ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Getting map tiles to load in correct order

  I have a div on the page where the map tiles should go. VE pre-loads tiles all over on the page, so that when a user pans the map, the photos for the new area of the map are already available. However, on the first load of the map, instead of first loading the tiles that are supposed to go into the map div, and then loading the tiles around the map div, VE doesn't really have a good order in which it loads them. I feel like it first loads the tiles around the map div (which are invisible), then the tiles in map div, then some more tiles around the map div. Anyone have any tricks to get VE to load tiles in the map div first - so that the users see the actual map faster Thanks! Derek, have you (or anyone el ...Show All

• Visual Basic Null Reference Exception

  I am having a problem with a multi-form application I am writing in VB .Net 2003. When I transition back from one form to my startup form, I get an intermittent Null Reference Exception. Sometimes it will work, moving back and forth from form to form with no problems for 15-20 minutes, and sometimes it will crash everytime. I have tried putting a try-catch block around the instantiation of the main form. It does not catch anything. The exception points to line 2 of the startup form, which reads: Public Class frmWelcome Not much to cause a problem there, I would have thought. I am attaching the code for bringing up the welcome screen in hopes that someone will see something I am not thinking of. Try Dim welcome As New frm ...Show All

• Gadgets Creating GOOD graphics for gadgets...

  I use Adobe Photoshop to make my images and I was wondering what other people use. I think the images in the MSFT gadgets look cool, but I'm not even close to knowing how to make such good looking images. The code is only part of it right, many of the custom gadgets I see have kind of a crappy look. Ok, this includes mine too.. as I said, I want to learn.. So what's a good site to learn how to make 3d or Vista type images Would someone suggest another tool than Adobe Or, if Adobe is good, then any tips, tricks, links to make cool images Thanks! Thanks for both replies. Sounds like I have the proper tool, but just need to learn it some more. I can do the rounded edges rectangles, which actually took me a while to figure out. I w ...Show All

• SQL Server Page Restoring

  In SQL Server 2005 Book on Line, it mentioned that you can restore a database by pages instead of to restore the whole database. But, it also says "Page restore is supported only for read/write filegroups." If this is true, then how about most of the database files are not designed as filegroup (or just primary filegroup only)   Can they enjoy this convenience too Also, when you find a suspect page in suspect_pages table in msdb, how you find out in which log_backup file that contains this bad page Thanks, Charley Hi Chad and Kevin, Thanks for your reply. The first part of my question is quite clear now. The implied question behind the second part of my question is actually how p ...Show All

• Visual C# Recompile causes IDE Crash

  I have written my own control that inherits from the System.Windows.Forms Control object. It is basically something that had to be written in order for the developers I work with to plug a visually interactive interface into their apps. It is a lot like the WinForms treeview in appearance. The Problem: When ever anyone writes a control that inherits from this control, if they have the desinger open to view it and they build, the IDE crashes. Does anyone have any clues as to what is happening here. I am sure it is something to do with me not understanding how to develop a control that is ment to be used by the desinger. Something with the componant model or something like that. I am reading all I can to figure it out, but if anyone has any ...Show All

• Visual C# Beginner's question about interfaces

  Hi, I have a simple question concerning interfaces. I have a project which declares an interface: ISampleInterface. In this project I have a class which implements said interface: SampleClass : SampleInterface. I have a second project that instantiate SampleClass. My problem is this; ISampleInterface will not let me put a scope modifier before it's methods ( private, public, protected ) and so everything seems to be private in it by default. In SampleClass all of ISampleInterface's methods can't be declared as public or protected, leading to compile time errors if I do. The thing is I want these methods to be public so I can use them in my second project. I am guessing by this problem that I am missing something fundamental about inter ...Show All
