• SQL Server BUILTIN\Administrators vs System Administrator

  Hello all, does someone know where to find information regarding what is accesible to a BUILTIN\Administrator which is not accesible to a System Administrator Somewhere I have read that a System Administrator can not see the "All users' folders (i.e. the collection of "My folder"s for all users of the Report Server) but I have also experienced a behaviour which has surprised me: as a System Administrator with all permissions I cann't even see folders that a BUILTIN\Administrator can. Does it mean that a System Administrator can not really manage all the resources of a Report Server Any ideas will be welcomed. Many thanks. Firstly I would like to ask from where you have ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Problem with locking documents.

  I am trying to automate some letters. For example, I have a drop down box used to select the type of document I want. The document will then load, with tags where customer information can be added. By entering a customer number, a DB is searched and returns and fills in all of the information. There is then an option to create an image of the final document. All of this works fine, except in one instance. If I were to select one type of document, complete and image it, and switch to a new type of document, and image it, the image becomes locked and will not unlock. This is not a problem if I do not switch between different letters. Anyone have any ideas Hi Rob This certainly isn't a VSTO technology que ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Web tests for Reporting Services reports?

  I am trying to learn how to create web tests for Reporting Services reports and am finding this exceedingly difficult. It's a piece of cake to record a web test but I can't ever get them to run successfully after the report session expires. Has anyone ever gotten a web test to work for one of the AdventureWorks sample reports If so, can you share with me how you did this I've spent days reading documentation, blogs and forum threads. I see how to parameterize something but I don't know how to capture Microsoft's Reporting Services "report session" dynamic value to begin with. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! I received some good information from some Microsoft folks. Thank you! Here is a link to a whitepaper t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System RecursiveLabel is not true - kills CoreLabel override / GetChangesetForFolder scope

  I've been trying to get folder (branch) scoped changeset association for a while.

• Visual Basic Basic Programs

  Are there any good sites that tell you how to do some fairly simple but fun programs Not like a tutorial that walks you through what each little thing does, just something that shows you how to make a certain kind of program What you are describing is a tutorial All you have to do is apply a bit of understanding to change the application to do something slightly different. If this is a learning exercise to get you developing in VB.Net then I would recommend watching the tutorials http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/vb/easytolearn/ This will get you going - Once you start understanding how the language works and how a solution is build then you can come up with your own ideas of things to bu ...Show All

• Visual C# Why does 'String' not have a copy constructor?

  Is there a reason that the 'System.String' type does not have a copy constructor A 'copy constructor' is a constructor that takes its own type as a parameter. I would have expected the string type to have copy constructor as it should permit strings to easily share the internal reference to the string data. This would both improve performance and reduce memory consumption as the internal string data object is shared, and not constructed, from the existing string to the new string. Am I missing something There is no such thing as "Copy Constructor" in C# so I assume that you want a contructor like String(String another); The problem is that it is completly useless. Strings in C# (unlike m ...Show All

• .NET Development Why am I getting OutOfMemory Exceptions???

  This is the second time I have asked this question. I will try to be more specific this time. I have written/deployed a service in C# using VS.NET 2003. This guy is getting OutOfMemory exceptions which I cannot explain. This service does consume (managed) memory from the heap. However, all pointers to the uses of managed memory are held in local variables with my class's methods. I don't have any class level variables (like arrays) which hold pointers to managed memory. So, when these class methods (that consume memory in local variables) go out of scope, then I expect that the memory becomes available for release by the Garbage Collect thread. I have added a call to the GC.Collect() method to manually initiate the Garbage Coll ...Show All

• SQL Server What is the correct option for me?

  Hello there, I am not a company programmer but I do like to write programs for myself. I am currently looking at writing a Database program to track my DVD's, CD's Tapes and the likes (as well as quite a bit of other data). While discussing this with others it was suggested that I use MSDE (since it's free) and that way I could learn more about SQL databases at the same time. When I connected to the MS website to download MSDE I found that it will not be supported with Vista. Since I am planning on getting a new PC which will most likley come with Vista I am now wondering what would be the best way to develop my database. 1. Should I use Access (Since it will only be accessed across my home network) 2. Is there a version of SQL ...Show All

  Standalone using CLR Is it possible, if not, what are the advantages of using CLR Thanks, Chris Yes: the is a separate .NET only install. If don't use the CLR then there is no need to install it. But if you application depends on the C and/or C++ runtime (which almost all C and C++ applications will) then you will need to ensure that the appropriate is installed on the target machine. This page explains the process. Note: Vista comes with the .NET runtime already installed. ...Show All
