• Visual Studio Team System changing Default Collation in Project Properties of database properties

We are currently avoiding changing the Default collation property of the Project by setting the Deployment default collation property ...Show All

• SQL Server Configure Report Server with SQL Server Express with Advanced Services.

  I'm having a world of trouble with the Reporting Services Server. The install went fine. I went in to configure the Report Server and when creating the Report Server and the Report Manager virtual directories I get the following error: "The virtual directory could not be created. The previously set virtual directory will still be used." The problem with this is that I have not previously set a virtual directory. When clicking on the link I get the additional error information: "System.IO.FileNotFoundException: at System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHRInternal(Int32 errorCode, IntPtr errorInfo) at System.Management.ManagementObject.InvokeMethod(String methodName, ManagementBaseObject inParameters, Invok ...Show All

  All-- Please help. I want to prevent clicks from being queued when form elements have enabled=false and Me.Cursor=WaitCursor.

Strange....isn't it I know another added project has default reference to System.Xml in it, but how can it affect the building of earlier project Whatever ma ...Show All
