• Visual Studio Problem with size of CR on deployment machine

  Hello guys, I have a problem with page size in Crystal Report when I run my application on deployment machine. The problem is that only part of report page can be seen, and the number of pages is significantly increased (which indicates that all data are there but something wrong with page size). This is windows application (Win XP SP2 is installed on deployment machine). I use Crystal Report for VS2005. On development machine everything works perfectly. I had to notice that also on some deployment machines it is OK, so I suppose that .msi file is correct. I tried both with and without merge modules and results are the same. Does any one have same idea .. We are experiencing exactly the same p ...Show All

• Visual Basic Sql Server project stuff...

  Dear folks, I’ve created a Sql Server Project from my Visual Studio 2005 with Visual Basic. When I try to add GetCommand it doesn’t appear at all, intelligense doesn’t show me that method. Why I don’t get the point. What else/assembly is needed Dim oCommand As New SqlCommand Dim oPipe As New SqlPipe oCommand = SqlContext. Thanks in advance for your comments and thoughts, You're accessing the SqlContext class statically/shared. The intellesense you're listing is the correct intellesense for that class. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sqlserver.server.sqlcontext_members.aspx GetCommand is not a member of SqlContext.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Shouldn't XDocument.ToString() output declaration?

  Shouldn't the ToString() method of XDocument output the document's declaration It doesn't. Here is some code and output: XDocument xDocument = new XDocument( new XDeclaration("1.0", "UTF-8", "yes"), new XElement("Root")); Console.WriteLine(xDocument.ToString()); This code outputs: <Root /> Hi, In your example the xml declaration specifies "utf-8" as the encoding. If XDocument.ToString() were to serialize the xml declaration you'll end up with: < xml version="1.0" enconding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ><Root/> Note that the assumed encoding of the resulting type (ie. string) is "utf-16".

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) I can see https site but not able to download by svcutil

  Hello. Well, a couple of days ago, I put a post concerning this sample. . Since Vista was released, I'm using IIS7. (over http, I've been running the samples successfully)And I'm trying WCFSamples\TechnologySamples\Basic\Binding\WS\TransportSecurity sample. Before I just couldn't get to see the page that had https. Now I can access it by IE. But it always says that there's certification error. I don't know why cause I used the setup.bat that came with it. Anyway, I think because of it, when I try the following command svcutil https://localhost/servicemodelsamples/service.svc , I cannot download the metadata because of the certification error. Is there any solution to this How can I make this certification error disappear ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Help: Edit menu on web browser

• SQL Server ServiceBrokerInterface: is that all there is right now?

  I've got the latest set of samples (from July 28). Judging from what's in the samples, there aren't any classes in SMO for actually conducting a conversation: however, there are such classes in a sample called ServiceBrokerInterface. What makes me think twice about using any of this are the copious number of disclaimers that say that the code is "not intended to be used in a production environment and [has] not been tested in a production environment". The devil's advocate would pose my question this way: "Why use any of this stuff if it's not properly tested Why be a guinea pig yet again At least if you write your own, you can rely on what you write -- and fix it if something goes wrong.

• Windows Forms Prerequisite not working?

  I'm trying to build a setup for my application using a Windows Installer project. I'm using VS2005. My Windows application requires SQL Server 2005 Express, so I marked that as one of the prerequisites. I built the installer successfully and ran it on one computer running XP. It successfully detected that neither .net 2.0 or SQL Server 2005 Express were installed and installed both of them before installing my application. My application ran just fine and life was good. I then took the exact same setup.exe and setup.msi and ran them on another computer - also running XP. It didn't attempt to install either of the prerequisites, and seemed to successfully install my application. As soon as my app was launched though it failed with " ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WWF Scenario using ASP.NET

  Hi, I want to implement a WorkFlow in ASP.NET using Windows Workflow Foundation. I have a Web Form where user 1 fills in the form and submits it. This form and the saved data is then sent to user 1's boss who reviews the data and submits the Web Form to his boss and so on and on until it goes to the top of the Organisation where it is finally approved or rejected.

Alot of examples I see use WinForms 2) In relation to my Business Process Scenario can I implement above using ASP.NET and ...Show All

• Community Chat JimmyUI

  Hi people! My latest project is an attempt to make cross-platform DHTML content development easier and more efficient. JimmyUI is a JavaScript library that aims to do just that. It supports creation of dynamic elements like listboxes and menus, and treeviews are in the works. It also supports themes. Check out this example of theming in action: http://www.freewebs.com/robinjam/vista aero sample.jpg The only code required to insert a theme into a document is this: < script type ="text/javascript" src ="JimmyUI_Data/aero.js"> <!-- //aero-ify the interface --> </ script > The main thing I like about this library is that you can define complex structures using simple markup.
