• Visual Studio Crystal Reports XI R2 into Microsoft Visual Studio 2005

  Hello, I'm having some problem to deploy Crystal Reports XI R2 into Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. I can't find the dll to add into the VS2005 references. I think I need to download the merge modules and run the CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msi. But the problem it's I don't have the CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msi.

But as for the Crystal Reports XI R2, i can't found any DLL like CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll, CrystalDecisions.ReportSource.dll, etc. So could you tell me where I can found it or what I need to do to get it Thank you ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Create a Web Service Proxy at run time using .Net compact framework 1.0

  Hi, I need to create a web service proxy at run time using the .net compact frame work. I thought about the wsdl utility but it is not supported by the compact framework. what does the visual studio do when creating a web reference within a smart device application (how visual studio do it). pls help me in this task because i really need it. thanks Let's assume for a moment WSDL utility is supported for NETCF.

To sum up: there are many reasons you can't do that. ...Show All

• SQL Server MSDE Multiple Instance

  I am trying to set up multiple instances of MSDE 2000 for use by Trend Micro virus scan products. I have the instance set up but I am trying to access svrnetcn.exe to set up named pipes and TCP/IP and I keep getting a 126 error "The Specified Module could not be found". Any ideas how to set this up. thanks, eric I had this same issue and ended up searching for that 126 error message. I found a somewhat related reference to an older service pack being installed than what it wanted, so maybe SVRNETCN.exe or some of its required files were corrupted. Who knows. Maybe at some point I installed an older version of MSDE over a newer version and broke it. I went to add/remove programs and removed ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Writing to Global Shared memory from an Application in Vista.

  Hi all, Global shared memory is created by a service which is used by my user mode application to communicate with the service through global mutexes and events.

• SQL Server SSIS Data Flow task fails to load all text from flat file

  Hi Guys, I have a flat file which is loaded into the database on a daily basis. The file contains rows of strings which I load into a table, specifically to a column of length 8000. The string has a length of 690, but the format is like 'xxxxxx xx xx..' and so on, where 'xxxx' represents data. So there are spaces, etc present in the middle. Previously I used SQL 2000 DTS to load the files in, and it was just a Column Transformation with the Col001 from the text file loading straight to my table column. After the load, if I select len(col) it gives me 750 for all rows. Once I started to migrate this to SSIS, I allocated the Control Flow Task and specified the flat file source and the oledb destination, and gave the output column ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Custom binding and wsHttpBinding

  Hi, there. I need help from you guys again. If I want to make the default setting of wsHttpBinding in custom binding. How can I do that The reason for doing this is because I want to change only a part of the default setting which you can not do with system-defined setting.
