• SQL Server Report of Reports

  Are there any example of SSRS reports using an rdl file as the source for the report. I.e. a Report of Reports Thanks Robert, I did find an article "Integrate XML into Your Reporting Environment" by Bill Wolff at http://www.ftponline.com/special/sqlserver/bwolff/ I will be looking for the upcoming MSDN Article.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA on Windows XP Embedded

  Is XNA supported on XP embedded If not will it be in the near future Nope, and nope. We currently support only Windows XP SP2, and the Xbox 360 OS. Official Windows Vista support is coming soon. Anything else that we may support in the future cannot be accurately characterized as "soon." I do not believe we are currently considering Windows Embedded. If you have some specific scenarios that you'd like us to address, please submit them to the Connect web site so that others may vote on it and we can consider the impact of supporting that scenario. --Stephen ...Show All

• .NET Development RFID Reader Project

  Hello, I'm currently working on a project which involves a serial port RFID Reader. I have connected the Reader to COM2 of my PC and i'm trying to get the signals from the RFID Tags. I'm using Visual C# and SerialPort class. The problem is that i can't read or write to the port. I even tried to write something to the port using port.Writeline("string") and then read it with Readline() but it seems that nothing is written and nothing can be read. When i set the RtsEnable to TRUE the BytesToRead property changed from 0 to 9 no matter what i did and still i couldn't read anything. I also wanted to ask you if you have any code samples to send me or if any of you has written a similar program that works. I need to fix t ...Show All

• .NET Development [Serializable()] vs. [Serializable]

  Hi, I thought I had made a typo in my code when I marked a class as [ Serializable ] instead of [ Serializable ()] But it compiled fine. Wondering what the effect would be. Thanks, Mike Aside from allowing you to code a bit faster... none at all. The compiler provides a few shortcuts when it comes to many things including attributes. Two of the biggest ones is being able to not add the ()'s to the end of the name (when no arguments are being passed in), as well as not requiring the word Attribute at the end of an attributes name... I say that because the Serializable attribute is really named SerializableAttribute. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Double Quotes in a String?

  You know you're a beginner when you're asking questions like this! I know it's just some silly syntax thing but I can't seem to figure it out. blah = "Ooga "Blarg" Booga" I obviously can't do this because the second double quote marks the end of the string. How do I include a double quotation mark in a string I just don't know the synatx. If my memory serves me correctly (3 double quotes) Dim s as string s = """This is a quoted string""" Should result in s displaying "This is a quoted string" Or you could simply add use chr(34) I think Dim s as string s = chr(34) & "This is a quoted string" & chr(34) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Sandcastle: No 'protected' icons

  Hi, instead of the 'protected' icons of types, fields, properties and methods, the 'public' icons are shown in the documentation. I'm using Sandcastle September CTP (Technical Refresh) and Help File Builder 1.3.1.1 netsrac Looks like netsrac is correct. I see that there are icons for the various protected member in the Icons directories of both the Prototype and VS2005 styles. However, a quick grep through the generated HTML shows no use of protmethod.gif, and I know I've got quite a few protected methods in my project. — Eric — ...Show All
