• Visual Studio Problem with ReportViewer on Windows 98

  I got an error message in main area of ReportViewer control on Windows 98. "An error occurred during local report processing. The report server has encountered a configuration error. See the report server log files for more information." The object (dataset) which is used in reportviewer is located in the same app. The report work fine on virgin Windows XP with NET 2.0 and ReportViewer, but not work on Windows 98. Also where "report server log files " are located Help me please! Thanks! OK. It's an issue or known bug - noone is perfect. I didn't read the fine print.

• .NET Development Can I store string in dataset?

  Probably there are easier ways to do what I want to do but here is my requirement. I need to store some tables as well as some strings in XML file for my application as a configuration. Currently I use dataset.WriteXML() method to persist data and retrieve data for my table but having problems with storing string values. I had to create dummy table in my dataset and populate with my string data (each string in different column). This is pretty ugly and I wanted something easier and more elegant to implement but I don't want to do a lot of XML plumbing. Basically what I need is ability to save configuration data for application to XML file. Data consists of tables and some string values. I know there are easier ways to do what I'm ...Show All

• .NET Development Visual Studio 2005 + ASP.NET + Modules? =D

  I need some way that I can access a function across all of the pages within my site. The problem is that there seems to be no support for Modules. I'd use a class, but I don't want to create an object each time. I just need to call a function. Any ideas But that's not what he's asking. If the code is strictly for PAGE functionality as he indicates, then it should be based in a BASE CLASS inherited by the pages. Otherwise it is poor OO design to just toss everything into static (shared) calls. That level of abstraction is improperly implemented. If it is for the pages, base it in a base PAGE class. ...Show All

DisplayModeCollection modes1 = new DisplayModeCollection(); modes1 = GraphicsAdapter.DefaultAdapter.SupportedDisplayModes; I've tried this code at work on a laptop and at home on a desktop (2 different vid cards) and each time the DisplayModeCollection is empty (count = -1).

• Visual Studio Express Editions 50% CPU usage when idling

  Hi, My VB program mystyriously consumes about 50% of the CPU power when idling. Is it possible to find out what the CPU is doing and where it spends the time How do you do that Any advice is appreciated. Regards, Daniel A Flaw in .NET 2. A memory leak problem that is okay. The 50% is almost all .NET resources running There's an article that I can't remember where it is but it explained how that was 50%. Don't worry because it won't heat or damage your system. And that 50% when idling is the .NET services. Don't you notice that .NET isn't on the Process List Hope it explained Keehun ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Digitally Signed Third Party DLLs, OCXs Test Case 5

  Test Case 5: Each application executable with an extension of exe, .dll, .ocx, .sys, .cpl, .drv and .scr must contain a valid signature in order to pass this test case Background : Our application uses a number of third-party components, some of which are digitally signed and some of which are not. For those that are digitially signed, the certificate is valid but has expired. Let me say that these are not old components, unless you consider 2004 old. The DLLs and OCXs involved are 32-bit ActiveX controls or libraries used in our application that is developed with Visual C++ 6.0. Moving to .NET would be a huge undertaking and not worth it just to get certified for Windows Vista. As an example, we use SoftwareFx's ChartFX A ...Show All
