• SQL Server Document Map

  Problems with Document Map creating a side scroll to get to Up/Down Scroll for the Map itself. There are two scroll bars once you side scroll over in the map window. Anyone seen this or know how to fix Or Anyone know how to change any of the properties on the Document Map or map window Thanks!!!!! Hi, I wondered if you ever got a resolution on this. I have a similar problem that once I deploy the report the scroll bar for the document map does not let you scroll to the document map. It only allows you to scroll through what initially fits when the report is first displayed. Before it was deployed, when the report was previewed, the scrolling worked fine... it was only after it was deployed that I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System best practice for storing 3rd party libraries in version control

  Does anyone store their third-party controls and library DLLs in a shared spot in TFS version control Instead of having to install these DLLs in the GAC on the local machine, we'd like these to get checked out in their own ThirdParty folder, organized by vendor and then version. But I don't see a way to add them to source control if they're not part of a proper Visual Studio solution. Within Source Control Explorer, I don't get an option to Add New Folder. Is this possible Thanks! Dan To figure out what's going wrong with your references, I would open the *.proj files in a text editor. Make sure the references are using relative paths (..\..\sharedComponent\foo.dll) and not absolute paths (d:\computer\s ...Show All

• Visual C++ Using zlib within a managed MS Visual C++ 2005 Express project

  [FYI, I'm somewhat new to the latest Visual Studio incarnations and am coming up to speed as quickly as possible. ] Has anyone managed to get zlib 1.2.3 to work within a managed MS Visual C++ 2005 Express project (using /clr:safe) I have gone so far as to successfully rebuild the zlib DLL and lib within the same IDE (different project) successfully using the original sources (though the project had to be converted automatically from the older version first). However, zlib is not in C++ .Net (it's pretty much standard C++) and so I cannot simply reference its DLL as part of the project (it's not clear to me how you'd make that call). I'm in need of some direction, i.e., how to load the DLL and how to reference some part of it. I'm get ...Show All

• .NET Development Bulk Transfer of Attributes

  I have an XmlElement that I want to fill with the attributes found in the current element of an XmlReader.  The easiest way I know to do this is to loop through "MoveToNextAttribute" and call MyXmlElement.Attributes.Append()...or something like that. But is there a way to do this in "bulk "  Put differently, is there a BCL method for transferring all the attributes over in one call I don't think there is any "bulk" method so you could implement what you suggested yourself. Assuming you have an XmlElement you can do e.g. XmlDocument doc = xmlElementInstance.OwnerDocument; while (xmlReaderInstance.MoveToNextAttribute()) { xmlElementInstance.Attributes.Append(doc.ReadNode(xmlReaderIns ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Loading workflow from dynamic instantiated assembly fails

  Hello, We have hosted a windows service with the WWF runtime. This service provides functions to compile workflows on demand. They are compiled to a special repository folder and dynamicaly resolved by our AssemblyLoader to start the workflow. This works everything fine, except ... ..if the workflow is persisted and the workflow is loaded by the runtime itself it can not resolve the DLL because it's not in the execution folder/app domain (bin folder). Questions: -Is it possible to define assemblies to load on runtime instantiation/starting. -Is it possible to find newly compiled DLLs without restarting the service. -Is there another workaround Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'CustomWorkflow.4 ...Show All

• Gadgets Function to edit html code of a webpage

  Hi guys First of all, Marry Christmas. :) I'm developing a gadget for Vista Sidebar but I think that it's much better to explane my problem here. Take some random webpage, for ex. www.microsoft.com.

• .NET Development Too many arguments specified error in stored proc

  I'm getting a 'too many arguments specified' error when I call my stored proc. I've assigned the stored proc to a SqlDataAdapter and a DataSet which is called when the SqlDataAdapter.InsertCommand is called. I've checked the numbers of variables and I can't see where there is a mismatch in the number of arguments being called.

The last field I add is a Note that is a long text. I found if the Note is more than half page, the Note will entirely display in the second page and leave the first page's second half page blank.

• SQL Server There is data but no report

  What, in general, can cause a problem that when SQL code creates a dataset, but when report is run, nothing is shown. It's difficult to say then without seeing the RDL code. You could post it here. It could be a case of a rougue filter or grouping statement. Was the report and all of it's components created from scratch or was part of it copy pasted from another report I had a similar situation when I capied a grid from another report (to preserve formatting) and forgot about a filter I had set on the grid.
