• Visual Studio Can't Find Crystal Reports

  Hello, we have Visual Studio Team Edition installed on a machine. We're trying to use Crystal reports, but we can't find it. I checked the installation, and it claims to be installed. It doesn't appear in the new file list anywhere. Thank you for your help! It could be the way that you are attempting to create a new Crystal Report file. There are at least three different windows that list the 'Installed Templates', each with different content. Crystal Reports is only listed in two of the three windows. If you select File >> New >> File you will not see a Crystal Report listed as one of the installed template. If you select File >> New >> Project you should see an option fo ...Show All

• SQL Server Disappearing Precedence Constraints

  Has anyone seen precedence constraints disappear in a package after closing and opening again In this case, it's not package-wide. Only constraints inside one Foreach Loop container disappeared. Any idea what causes this to happen p.s: Yes, I did Save All. Most of these contraints were saved in the package for more than a week anyway. Jamie, those guys must not realize how much progress these products have made in terms of functionality, stability, performance and ease-of-use features (although overall complexity is an unavoidable companion of added functionality).

• Software Development for Windows Vista New Browser Windows when calling IWebBrowser2::Navigate

  EDIT: See my last post for more information about specifically what's happening (in regards to the IInternetSecurityManager not being queried for). I have a dialog in my code with an embedded browser control.  Previously (XP and IE6), it worked correctly, the embedded control could display web pages properly inside itself.  On Vista, I am having a strange issue that instead of loading the page on itself, it creates a new browser window and loads the page there instead.  I have tracked it all down to IWebBrowser2::Navigate.  As soon as I call this, the new browser window is created and the page loaded there. There is another thread with this same issue, but no solution was ever posted.  Has anyone else encounter ...Show All

• .NET Development Config File

  I want to make a config file but i dont know how to look at the file and lets say look at a setting like backup=1 and then if it is 1 then do an action i know how to make it do the action i just dont know how to tell it to look at the config file and a certain setting in the config file. A snipit would be really helpfull. I like working with config files because they let me encrypt information like connection strings. Also, I have three environments - Dev, QA, and Production. I can create a config for each environment so that each can have its own set of connection strings. Here's a code snippet for reading from a config file: //get login info from the config file Configuration cm = ConfigurationManager .OpenExeConfiguration( Co ...Show All

• SQL Server Date parameter format incorrectly interpreted

  Hi, I am using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. I have a report with a Startdate and Enddate parameters setup through the report parameters box. The datatype is datetime, so I have the date pickers. My machine regional settings are set to Ireland for datetime format dd/mm/yyyy. The database field being queried is storing the date as dd/mm/yyyy. My problem is when I type in the values Startdate = 01 aug 2005 and Enddate = 31 aug 2005. The report runs correctly, but it refreshes the parameter boxes and if I try to run it again I get the following message "An error occured during local report processing. The value provided for the report parameter "Enddate" is not valid for its type" If I choose the same dates from the datepickers I get t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Pass Object to EventHandler?

  In a console application, is there any way to pass an object/variable to an EventHandler   I'm trying to do this with a ctrl-c and the ConsoleCancelEventHandler, but I don't have to do so.. if this is not possible with ctrl-c being a special case, I can use another key. The goal is that I have an object called SyncExit which provides several different events upon which several threads await to exit gracefully.  I wanted my ctrl-c to have the event handler call this, which means I either have to pass the instantiated object (preferred) or make the object global to the class, not just the Main method (not preferred).  I also don't want to just shut down the thread because I have cleanup to do once ctrl-c is pressed, so I ju ...Show All

• SQL Server Convert seconds (INT) to mm:ss in Reporting Services

  Hello, I have been trying for a while now to convert seconds which are obtainted from the database into the format mm:ss . Typically in Excel, I convert my time in integer values divided by 86400 (24/60/60) and then format the cell to "mm:ss" and everything is fine. Now, I am have been trying to reproduce that same logic using Reporting Services (2000) without any success. I saw on previous post that you can use the format property in RS but if I put in the code "mm:ss" I get the value in text "mm:ss" (i.e.: not the numbers converted). Any ideas ...Show All
