• SQL Server Cannot open http://localhost/reports

Via Visual Studio, I am able to create and run reports without an issue, but I am unable to launch the web element of Reporting Services, via http://localhost/reports I get the message "Page cannot be found". I have run the install a second time in the hope of a "repair" but it has made no difference. FYI, from within IIS, I cannot see reference to a website for "reports". Any ideas You may have unchecked the option to configure the server during the install. Try launching the RS 2005 Configuration tool from Start->All Programs->Microsoft SQL Server 2005-> ...Show All

• SQL Server Multi value string parameters

  Hi all I have a multi value drop down list and their values are a string data type.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Handling Events.

  At many examples of WF i saw that when a logic is implemented handling an event, the syntax is this: child.Closed += ContinueAt; and not: child.Closed += new EventHandler < ActivityExecutionStatusChangedEventArgs >(ContinueAt); My question is: When i use the first approach it ensures that the execution of the ContinueAt method will be scheduled, meaning that it will be created a new work item, added to the Scheduler Work Queue and executed when appropriate (when called the Dispatch method). If its so, the second approach would cause a break of the WF Runtime normal execution, since the ContinueAt method vould be invoked immediatly after the event was raised, without creating a work item at the Scheduler Work Qu ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Windows Live Contacts Control beta v0.2 Released

  Hi, Danny! I want to use "Windows Live Contacts" service in my desktop application - birthday reminder, that is written on VB.NET ( http://yurivolkov.com/yvReminder/index_en.html ). So I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to implement this, using your work (Control itself or its source code... by the way, source code is not commented and looks like obfuscated...) What's your advice about how to do this -- Yuri Hi Yuri, It's possible to display the Windows Live Contacts control in a .NET application by putting an HTML control in your app and pointing it to a URL that hosts the control, but I'm not sure how much information exchange can take place between the JavaScript browser environment i ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual C++ Express "Free Download" says I need CD

  I downloaded and began the installation of Visual C++ express and the .net framework (which I apparently need to install). Whilst installing the .NET framework, the setup prompted me to insert CD 1. As visual C++ express is a free download, I have no idea why this is happening. To be honest I have not used the express editions but following through what people have said - I guess installing the .NET Framework is automatic within the express edition installer however there should be a case where it would detect the framework version and install the appropriate version automatically. you would need to install the SDK, the redistributional package is the .NET Framework runtime components itself I believ ...Show All

  How would I approach a 3D representation of a playing card(s) If using a model, would 52 different models be required so that each card has it's own texture Can user primitives (i.e. 2 triangles to make a card shape) have different textures on each side What would be the best method for this Is it possible to use one card, and one texture containing all the cards and the back, then possibly make a shader that takes in a card number parameter that can be used to offset the texture accordingly I am just speculating here but I cant see why it wouldnt work :) ...Show All
