• Visual Studio View .rpt on .NET client without client install?

  Is this possible at all We'd love to find a way for our app to utilize the CR .NET viewer by utilizing external references to the CR assemblies. Does anyone know of a way to achieve this We, of course, can use the merge module to create a client install but running such an install on all our clients simply isn't an option. We have a number of 3rd party assemblies that we've been able to utilize without a client install through the use of external references but it doesn't appear the CR assemblies will operate in that fashion. Any input you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I do not believe this is possible, mainly because most of their assemblies are just wrappers around com dll's which are setup i ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Help on Vista-RC2 with sector writting.

  Hi all, as this is my first post I hope Im posting in the right Place. I recently used the new Ms OS Vista-RC2 and encountered a problem with sector writing for files. Opening the physical volume of the drive (ex. "\\.\C:") and pointing to the sector that I want to alter by using SetFilePointer, works fine when I read the bytes from a certain sector point. But if I try to write to that sector I always get access denied (Error No 5). If on the other hand I open the file and write to it, works fine. Also the method I used worked ok in XP, but it seems in Vista-RC2 it fails with "Access Denied" Error. I have to say as well that Im executing the code as administrator so I believe I have all the priveleges ...Show All
