• SQL Server Triggering a subscription in Reporting Services

  I've read through several threads concerning the triggering of a subscription in RS by the use of a FireEvent. I have made this work using the following... C:> rs.exe -i MyScriptFile.rss -s "MyReportServer/ReportServer" where MyScriptFile contains the subscription/schedule ids. This works if I am signed on to the ReportServer C:> drive and execute the command line. What I need to do is create a trigger based on data changing in an SQL database on one server and execute this line of code on the ReportServer on another server. Do I need to use a stored procedure, extended stored procedure, or WHAT to execute this command Thanks! Wanda I am looking for scripting a subscriptio ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista SetupIterateCabinet failing from Custom Action .dll

  I use Visual Studio 2005 to deploy my application. I have a Custom Action .dll that's called during the Install phase. (The entry point is the standard Install( MSIHANDLE ).) I'm installing a .CAB file and am calling SetupIterateCabinet() from this Custom Action .dll and it is returning ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED. Appears as though Custom Action .dll's are not run with the UAC elevated privileges of the .msi file. I tried adding a .manifest to give the .dll elevated privileges, but then Windows XP barks that there is an unrecognized token. I need this .msi file to run under both Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Vista. Because this is a Custom Action .dll there is no way I can wrap the function in a COM object and call it with ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Trying to Incorporate a coded web test class in another application

  Here's the situation: I have a coded webtest and I want to use this in another (forms) application so that I hand this app out to my testers whenever they want to run the functionality embedded in the code webtest. (The test creates new data entries for them by using the actual application.) So far I have not been able to get this to work. Here's what I did: I copied the webtest code in the form code area Then I created a button click action that instantiates the class and creates an object. Here's the code: Dim a As test.WebTest1Coded = New test.WebTest1Coded TextBox1.Text = a.strHi a.Run() The a.strHi which is in the class is used to find out if I instantiated this correctly and it does work.

• Windows Forms Dynamically created Registry Keys in .NET Installer

  Hi, I have written a Windows Forms Application in Visual Studio 2005 (VC++). I have created a Setup Project in my solution and am configuring it. My application uses registry values, and so I am entering the Registry Keys and Values needed by my app in the deployment Registry Editor within Visual Studio 2005. I use several Values whose data is a filename or path, but that path depends on the selected install folder the user chooses while installing the program (using this Setup program I am creating.) My question is, is it possible to use some sort of variable while specifiying the value for a Registry Value in the Registry Editor And if it is, how do I get the Root Target Folder for the installed application Thanks - Samy PS. It occurs to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System postbuild event

  Hi, Would it be possible to add a postbuild event feature to the database project I have a scenario where I would like to run aspnet_regsql.exe utility to install/merge the ASP.NET 2.0 services database into the database that I am building with VSTS-DB. I basically want to avoid creating the ASP.NET services db schema by hand (or even importing .sql files) -- I'd rather run their tool and point it at the database created by the build. The postbuild event could provide some macros (e.g. Target database name, connection string, etc) that I can then use as command-line switches to aspnet_reqsql.exe.
