• SQL Server How do I change the Hyperlink color for the 'Jump to URL' once it has been viewed?

  Hi, I've created a report in SSRS 2005, where one of the fields is using 'Jump to URL'. I made that field the color blue and underlined it so the users can see it's a link. How do I change the color of the field/link to a different color once it's viewed so the users know they already selected that field Thanks for your help!, CharlotteB I don't believe there's any way to do this currently. All style information is explicitly placed into the HTML, so the browser doesn't have an opportunity to automatically add its own underline. Since it isn't adding it, it doesn't know to remove it. ...Show All

• SQL Server Setting a Default Confidentiality message

  Our company requires a "confidentiality message" displayed on all web pages, documents and reports. Is there a way for Reporting Services or IE for that matter to display a default confidentiality message accross all reports rather than editing each individual report Thanks in advance. That may provide a solution for all newly created reports but we have hundreds of reports in use now that require the confidentiality message added to each one. I am interested in a way to apply this message to all reports rather than edit each and every one of them. Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 'extern alias' doesn't build

  Hi, in a sample Project, I'm referencing to both PresentationFoundation.Classic and PresentationFoundation.Luna and I want to create an instance of SystemDropShadowChrome. This class is defined in both assemblies, so I set the aliases of the assemblies to PFClassic resp. PFLuna and putted extern alias PFClassic; in my code. But against all expectations this doesn't build. I get the message: " The extern alias 'PFClassic' was not specified in a /reference option" Any ideas Thanls cheesenhomer Hi, If you need to reference two assemblies with the same fully-qualified type names, an alias must be specified on the command line, as follows: /r:PFClassic=XXX1.dll /r:PFLuna=XXX2.dll This creates the ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Textured Quads - No Need?

  Hello everyone... In my '2D in 3D' engine using MDX, I went the "Textured Quad" route. But after looking at the XNA Framework, I am wondering if there is any reason to go that way Should I use the built in SpriteBatch class Thanks! -Nick Probably yes.... It really depends on if you want to do anything that the sprite batch doesn't let you do. But under the covers spritebatchis doing exactly the same as you are and the code is likely simpler. ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro mscomm32 issue again

  For some odd reason everytime I try to install the Active X mscomm32 control on my form it tries to reinstall something from my distribution disks (the EXE that I create for my software not the original Fox disk).

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Linq To SQL class designer problem

  I watched Scott Guthrie's video on http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu where he demos the new Linq To SQL class designer. He mentiones that one can create classes and let the designer create the tables in the database, which is great. I was trying to do that and failed. Does anyone have a link to a walk-through demo or something I created a very simple class diagram with 3 associations and 2 derived classes, 5 classes all together, I set the primary keys and the table names on all the classes. I then right clicked the diagram in the solution explorer and clicked "Run Custom Tool", then nothing... Any ideas Best regards Klaus Enevoldsen There is nothing to stop you from creating your ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Problem Getting Early Binding With Word Application

  I'm trying to use early binding in connection with using Microsoft Word in an application. I go to Project and Add Reference and then click "Okay" under the COM tab under Microsoft Word 11.0 . . . and the dialogue box goes away after a few seconds. However, it isn't adding Word and I still cannot get early binding. I can do late binding and I understand the advantages, but frankly for the limited users of this application and the advantages of intellisense, I want the early binding. Anyone have any thoughts on what I'm missing chipjollyroger wrote: On the program itself, if I go to the page labeled "My Project" (where you add your splash screen, etc), on the tab for references ...Show All

• SQL Server CAL vs. Processor License on secure login enviroment

  I need to upgrade a solution from SQL Express Advanced to Workgroup Edition because of the 4GB size limit. I'm planning on deploying the solution in an secure web enviroment were only authenticated users will be able to access the database. The actual username's and passwords would be stored in an Express database. Therefore since only named users would be accessing the database server web app, can I use the CAL license model I believe the answer to this is "yes". You'll want to make sure that you check with your local Microsoft rep, but we don't license based on how or where the technology is deployed, just on how it is accessed by the users. I had a deployment like you're talking about, and ba ...Show All
