• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Schema Crawling Question

  Hey there team, If I wanted to get the names of fields that comprise a key, what's the preferred way of doing that :) I've been crawling around in the MetadataWorkspace, and boy there's a lot there. Might be beneficial to have some sort of post that outlines the big concepts with this namespace... Thanks! Mike You need to look for the type in "CSpace", not in "OSpace" (of course, those terms are not supposed to surface in the API :), so you may need to tweak the function a bit in order to find the entity type.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Question: VSTO2005 + ASP.NET + Excel XP

  I have a question about VSTO 2005 + ASP.NET(C#) + Excel Actually I just want to: 1. Get data from DB 2. Put (better like "CopyFromRecordSet" back in ADODB) the resulted DataTable to Excel 3. (If no Excel automation needed) Change something like Excel Column width, borders... 4. Save the file on server 5. Allow download by user 6. Users open the Excel file by EXCEL 2000, XP I want to use VSTO's ability to change the data directly without touching Excel (no need to install Excel on server) , that way I can't have Step 3 As I know...(maybe wrong)...the VSTO approach needs Excel 2003 to bind the Data Island and the View when the user opens the document, but I want user to open the file using Excel 2000 or XP, (this is my ma ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Form Calling Report - Can Form Variables print on report?

  I have a form where users input a due date and comments into two fields. The users then click on a "Run Report" button that issues "REPORT FORM REPORTS/PD_LETTER TO PRINTER for next_due < THISFORM.p_date.value" command to print the report. Is there any way I can use the values the user entered in the form fields in the report that is generated. The form is a past due letter and I want to print Due Date and comment field from the form on it. On the report I created Variables that have the same names as the fields on the form, but this did not help. I suspect that I'm making this much more difficult then needed... Any ideas Derek Sure, there are 2 ways to do this. 1) For example, say you have a textbox on the form called txtCust ...Show All

• SQL Server Connection denied. Please help

  Hello, everyone. I'm new in Reporting Services 2005. I encountered a confused connection problem. I'm running a named instance (called 'sql05') of SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition(a SQL Server 2000 instance as my default) on my Windows XP Professional machine. I log in Windows XP as a member of Administrators group. When I came into SQL Server Management Studio and connect to my local reporting server using Windows Authentication, the report server denied my connection request 'actively'. The service is running but it denied my connection. But when I use the same method to connect to my database engine and Analysis Services in Management Studio, no problem has happened. Does anyone have similar experiences I appreciate for any help. Thank ...Show All

  Hiya, I keep getting this error at different times when developing under WinFX in Vis Studio 2005.

  I am creating a report based on a group value and hiding the duplicate values by clicking the hide property on the selected textbox. The report values are displayed in two rows.

• Windows Forms Visual C++ textBox enter key submission

  I'm a novice in Visual C++ and just started learning Windows form application. My question is, when I input a value in a TextBox and press enter, I hoped it would submit.

• Windows Forms Property not being modified during design mode

  I have a custom control that inherits from the DataGridView and I need to extend the Data binding functionality. I’ve implemented the DataSource and DataMember properties hiding its inherited member with the keyword new as shown below, however while in design mode my new DataSource property is not being modified. The DataMember property is being modified just as expected. I suspect that the base.DataSource property is still being modified because when modifying the Property in design mode to a BindingSource data source the columns are displayed. However if the DataSource property is set to a DataSet the columns are not displayed. I've changed the debug properties of the project to launch a new version of devenv.exe and set a breakpoin ...Show All
