• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Crystal report inside of "WPF" user control

  Can someone help me with a code sample which shows how to add a crystal report viewer in user control or how to add a ".net 2.0" user control in a "WPF" user control. Thanks in advice, Ovidiu Ovidiu: I've answered a couple question similar to this but I don't have time to look into the details for crystal or user controls.

• Visual C# Q: Working with Graphics object

  Hello everybody. I have a text file with the paths of all images I want to use. What I want to achieve is to read this text file line by line, create a bitmap using the path, resize the bitmap to a custom size and place this so called thumbnail into a graphics object. The graphics has to write on a bitmap of custom size. What I don't know is how to place all the thumbnails so whenever they reach the end of the width to go on the next row. I hope you understand what I mean. g.DrawImage (bmpFromTXT, (i%10) * 20, (i / 10) * 20 , regionWidth, regionHeight); i tried this but does not seem to work. It just displays them half the way of the bitmap to write on You want to Create Thumbnails of Images on a single Bitmap or on some Surface li ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Unit Testing, Windows Presentation Foundation: Problem

  Hello, I am writing a class library (File> new>Clas Libarary) with a Windows Presentation Foundation GUI, in VS2005. The Unit Tests wizard has a dialog called:"Create Unit Tests". This dialog is supposed to show a grid with: First row: Namespace Second Row: Class Next Rows: Methods. But I only get rows one and two. This cause me to code by hand my unit tests stubs. If I create a class library with WIndows forms, everything works fine... I think it is a bug.

• SQL Server Problems Accessing SQL after going from SQL 2000 to Mgmt Studio SQL 2005

  I installed Mgmt Studio and SQL 2005 on a new server - I imported my complete old SQL 2000 databases - then shut down my Original SQL 2000 server and used that Idenitical IP as the Mgmt Studio SQL 2005's IP I am using Linux Jakarta Tomcat v5.0.27 and all SQL references are referring only to the IP number of ther server and not using DNS - Originally I was getting an error when my system tried to access the SQL stating that it was an untrusted connection - I then realized that the IP number referred to was not the primary IP and I changed that so the it was. Both the Linux and SQL 2005 are now using network IPs and then I got a message that the password that I was using was not strong enough so I changed that as well - then all my ...Show All

• .NET Development Unable to connect to remote server - WebException

  We receive this .Net 2.0 WebException on a specific machine when trying to access a asmx service from within an Excel add-in. Let me first give you the technical background of our add-in: We have one UDF which calls into an Managed RTD server (using the Excel.RTD function); the server implements the IRTDServer interface. Inside the RTD Server, I batch up 25 (it is a configured number) request(s) to send to an asmx web service. Here is the problem: Our add-in makes a couple of requests just fine and then fails until we reinstall the add-in. Our log show it gets to the RTD server and then fails with "Unable to connect to remote server" exception. Here is a snippet of our log file: T ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Another Problem

  Hi, I was wondering if there is anyway to turn a huge amount of code into a simple function. Right now I have a bunch of check boxes and they are all named C1-C7 and W1-W7, instead of putting in code for each one when clicked, which results in a large amount of code, is there anyway I could make one function to handle all of these. I tried something like this. If C(num).checked=true then W(num).checked=false endif its just a basic example of what i want and i could really use this later on. Thanks The code Dim ckBox As CheckBox = sender ckBox.checked = Not ckBox.Checked makes an infinite loop, but now i know how to use sender which should be very useful, thank ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System RC to RTM reports upgrade problem

  The upgrade of TFS to the RTM version went fine until I reached step #8 under the "Upload Default Reports..." section. I'm a little confused on how to upload the reports. I did the download for both the Agile and CMMI templates in Team Explorer but then step #8 -12 say: Hey John, Step 8 is about downloading the process template from your TFS server since it carries the reports. Using the Process template manager, say you downloaded the Agile process template to a directory "C:\TFS", you'd find a new folder there called "MSF for Agile .." In Step 11, you'd use the path to this directory, so your command would be TFSUploadReports /s <yourtfsservername> /p <yourprojectname> /t "C:\ ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET framework adoption rate?

  We are trying to decide on whether to maintain 1.1 compatibility for our software or use some of the new features in 2.0. Thus we need to know how widely .NET 1.1 has been adopted by end users. If few machines have 1.1 installed we might as well use 2.0 since most users will have to download the redistributable anyway. But if many 2000/XP machines already have .NET 1.1 installed it would make sense to rather stay compatible with 1.1, since our application footprint is small relative to the redistributable. I haven't been able to find good information on the adoption rate of .NET, so I would appreciate any links. It would also be interesting to know why the .NET framework has always been (still is) an optional component in the service packs ...Show All
