• Visual C# Classes with the same name in the same namespace....

  Hi All, In my solution I have 2 classes with the same name in the same namespace. This was legal in VS.net 2003 (.Net 1.1) and all the compiler did was to raise warning about this problem. However with VS.net 2005 (.Net 2.0), this has changed it now throws a compiler error for the same. Is it possible to get around this issue in any way without having to change the class names... Thanks in Advance andypai This code compiles. The compiler picks up the defintion from the first reference in its refernce list that matches... I agree it is bad coding practice but I have inherited this piece of code from the previous team and I dont want to make changes unless I really have to :-) So, the functioning of your appliation d ...Show All

• SQL Server Report Model: Drill on calculated field in Report Builder

  Hi, I've created dsv that contain all fields from table database. in the smdl I've remove some fileds due to security. All fields in the smdl do not contain drill. Issue: When I created calculated field in the report builder the field has a link. When I clicked the drill I saw all the record data including field that not in the smdl. Questions: 1) Can I remove the link from the calculated fields 2) Can I prevent from users drill to fields that not in the smdl Thanks, Assaf 1) You cannot remove the Clickthrough links using Report Builder.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Tried Everything, apart from what's needed.

  I want the picturebox (pbCrop) to show and be the same size as the selected image, I've tried everything I can think of but none of the solutions that I come up with work. The code is below, at the moment pbCrop is the same size as pbResize and is blank apart from the selected area. I did manage to get pbCrop to the same size as the selected area but the selected area was out of site. Dim b As New Bitmap(pbResize.Width, pbResize.Height) Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(b) Dim z As New System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath If radEllipse.Checked = True Then z.AddEllipse(cropX, cropY, cropWidth, cropHeight) g.SetClip(z) Else z.AddRectangle( New Rectangle(cr ...Show All

• SQL Server .Net DataProvider for SAP Timeout

  I am using the .Net DataProvider for SAP. When importing data I receive an error, when calling sap functions via exec. The errors vary (e.g. Error 0xc0047062: Data Flow Task: Microsoft.Adapter.SAP.SAPManagedProviderException: System.OutOfMemoryException: Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.) On the sap-side the function runs, but it takes a few minutes. I can ask the sap-bw team to speed up their performance, but this is political. The sql-timeout parameter is not working with this datareader. Have you any proposal that solves the problem. Thanks This has no effect. On my opion none of the properties has any effect. But thanks for your answer. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) not getting an expected XBAP SecurityException

  i'm developing a partial trust XBAP application. it calls a 3rd party SOAP web service (e.g. http://somewebservice/...), so i added the -DebugSecurityZoneURL flag. -DebugSecurityZoneURL "http://somewebservice/" ... and that works but then it's also calling an XML-RPC webservice to get images, and that is at some ip (http://205.###.###.###) to populate a BitmapImage with a Uri. i expected that call to fail, because that ip does not match the -DebugSecurityZoneURL ... but it works! http://somewebservice/ is a different ip address than the other ip address. so how is this working when i debug with partial trust will this break when i actually deploy this Thanks, casey ...Show All

• Community Chat Free Lists - Just a Q & D app I needed.

  http://www.barrysumpter.com Free Lists is the only app there written in vb.net. Don't worry about the other products. I've only sold 1 of each. I have no fantasies or pretentions regarding sales. Best intentions to offer Free Lists as a usable product developed in my spare time over a three day period. Standard, evironments, interfaces change so often I've given up trying to conform. For me, vb.net has been an absolute nightmare. Any features left out are from frustration only. Any positive comments are welcome. Any positive constructive suggestions may very well end up in the next version. All the best to everyone. I've just asked my ISP for assistance on this matter as well.
