• SQL Server Report Server First Time Configuration: Provider Load Failure

  I'm trying to do the above using the Reporting Services Configuration Manager and I can't even connect. I get the error Provider Load Failure. Anyone got any pointers Well, there isn't much more to say - make sure %WINDIR%\system32\WBEM is in your PATH. If it is not, the WMI provider library (which depends on FRAMEDYN.DLL) cannot be loaded. (the alternative would be to copy FRAMEDYN.DLL into the directory that has reportingserviceswmi.dll but I would not recommend it) Some application messed up my PATH variable and the Reporting Services WMI provider would not load. The error handling could be better so we don't have to debug the process to figure it out... ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development How to catch the events controls in HTA which were inserted via innerHTML

  Hello Everyone, I am new to forums, but since i can't find answers anywhere in books or online my last resort is a written plea for help from fellow programmers. My question: How can i get the events from an activex combobox which was inserted in my HTA using an innerHTML. I see it but i can't do anything with it. Is there a better way to do this and stay with VBS since i have many other functions all in VBS. What i can't derogate from: I must use HTA since i play with AD, WMI, FSO etc... I should stay with VBS because JS won't be seen by my other VBS Here is the truncated code: <!-- Name: innerComboTest3.hta Date: October 26, 2006 Description: This HTA page insert's a combobox, textfield and a button on itself via inner ...Show All

• .NET Development Simple question regarding TcpClient and TcpListener

  Hi all, I am new to network programming and I already read some examples related to socket on the MSDN and now I am trying to create a message sender(server) and a message receiver(client) by using TcpClient and TcpListener. The server simply contains a TcpListener object that runs the following code when it is started: listener.Start() client = listener.AcceptTcpClient() The client contains a TcpClient object that is used to connect to the server: client.Connect(IPAddress.Parse(127.0.0.1), 2828) After the client gets connected to the server, sometime later, the server attempts to send a message to the client by using the following code: Dim message As String="Hello World" Dim encoding As ...Show All

• Community Chat Using Vista?

  Good idea Joe! Okay, I'll go first.  I'm using Vista RC1 full time now.  The computer seems quieter--doesn't take so many trips to the hard disk for VM paging.  I find going back to XP an unpleasantry, so I think Microsoft is succeeding here. Glass is nice.  I think the performance is what I expected it to be on an Intel Advanced Graphics card (Dell Dimension 9100).  Office 2007 is also pleasant to use, but they stil have some cleanup work to do on their UI. Who else is using Vista   Brian I'm not sold on Flip3D either.  Pretty useless--I think it's just a demo of graphics capability masquerading as a feature. I happened to be in the area of an "authorized ...Show All

• Windows Forms Arrow Keys don't move controls in custom forms designer

  Hello, I have a custom forms designer. I've implemented a menu command service like so MenuCommandServiceImpl mcsi = new MenuCommandServiceImpl (); host.AddService( typeof ( IMenuCommandService ), mcsi); MenuCommandServiceImpl is derived from IMenuCommandService. I "think" that the controls are supposed to move when the arrow keys are pressed via the MenuCommands .KeyMoveUp etc. Commands. I've added those commands to my MenuCommand class, but nothing. In all my searching around, I think that the DesignSurface.View is stealing the key press events for the Arrow keys, and should be the one to fire the correct events or preferably move the controls. Have I added the wrong service or is it possibly ...Show All

• SQL Server Domain group logins failing on SQL 2k5 workgroup

  This question is regarding a brand new out-of-the-box SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition install. The old SQL Server 2000 server is working properly with regard to the issue we're having: We are using Windows Authentication, and have created SQL logins for about 40 different groups on our domain. We've given those logins the appropriate permissions on the databases they're supposed to be able to access. The SQL Server is not a domain controller, but is a member of the domain, and domain logins do work for Windows-login purposes on this box. The problem is that when users try to connect to the SQL server, they are denied access. An error 18456 is thrown, and logged in the Application event log stating "L ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Implementing Generices in WFC?

  Declaring service contract interfaces of type <T> does not seem to work when it comes to specifying the configuration in XML, especially the Contract tag does not like IContract<T>.

Specifying EndPoints Programatically works great but specifying in a config seems to crap out Is this a bug in WFC framework or its just by design that services should not be generic in nature Hello.

• Windows Forms Image not shown in Treeview Control Node

  Hi, I have a windows application developed in C#.NET , Framework 2.0, and it's output type is Windows Application .

• .NET Development Best way to configure a service with multiple instances

  Hi there, I am developing a service will be installed multiple times under different service names and each instance requires a different configuration file. What is the neatest method is to achieve this At the moment I think it has to be registry settings based on the service name which I assume must be accessible. Thanks, Duncan If anyone can update this thread it would be most appreciated. I'm using VB.net 2005, have got my service up and running, but want to be able to install multiple copies of it under different names. I can get the service name to change during installation but the new instance all still have the original name stored somewhere (i.e. me.servicename always returns the original nam ...Show All
