• SQL Server RS 2005 Prompting for Credentials

  For the life of me, I can not get integrated windows authentication to work with an installation of Reporting Services 2005. I get prompted when connecting to the /Reports IIS virtual directory when not on the IIS machine. If I'm logged onto the machine I don't get prompted. Or if i use the IIS servers IP address in the URL I don't get prompted. The only way I can avoid windows prompting (when not logged onto the IIS machine) is to set the /Reports virtual directroy to "Enable Anonymous Access" I know Windows Integrated authentication works because we have other web applications where Anonymous access is turned off, and everything works as expected. Meaning going to another server for database access thos ...Show All

• Visual Studio XY Scatter Chart - Y value appearance with expressions

  I want to know if there is anyway to force report control to evaluate an expression for the "marker" size and shape, as opposed to use the "Marker size" selection under the "Appearance" tab. There is no "fx" button next to this menu item. I have successfulyy set a function for the color of the markers using a function expression in the "Fill" tab of the Series Style. Also, an attempt to substitute an expression inside the rdl xml entry for the size / shape tags did not work. Is the scarcity of display attributes with expression evaluation capabilities just due to the control being in its first incarnation, or am I wrong in assuming this can't be done now ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Visual Studio 2003 hangs on Vista Build 5472

  If I try to use the "Find in Files" feature of VS 2003, it just hangs VS and you can only kill the process. This happens when you select search in Entire Solution or Current Project. Note: I have launched VS to run using Administrator. This did not happen on Vista Builds 5342 or 5308. Is there any workaround Use "Replace in Files" instead to step through matches - it's a poor substitute, but at least it works until there exists a proper patch (if ever) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Not understanding how to get a TextBox to activate the next control via the Return Key

  I guess I'm not understanding how to formulate the event code triggered by Return key press which will activate the next control. Similar to how the URL Address box in IE activates the Go button when you press the Return key from within the URL Address window. I'm not getting the event handle-handler syntax. ......help The Emerald Knight wrote: I guess I'm not understanding how to formulate the event code triggered by Return key press which will activate the next control. ......help well for this part, instead of making life hard and using the keypress event, use the keydown event and check what key was pressed.

• SQL Server Pass parameter to SSIS

  I have a SSIS package that imports (appends) data to a SQL table from an ODBC source. This package is run from within a VS project. I'd like to pass a parameter to this package to limit the records it imports. I have seen some discussion of this but I need a detailed step-by-step or a good working example. Specifically: 1. How to get the parameter to the package to begin with. The VB function that runs the SSIS only passes parameters to the stored procedure that executes the SSIS. 2. How to refer to the parameter value in the SQL statement of the data reader object in the SSIS package. Instead of saying 'Select * from table1' it needs to say 'Select * from table1 WHERE field1 = @passedparam' T ...Show All
