• SQL Server Report Builder Report Possibility?

  This may not be possible, but I wanted to see what some of the experts' opinions are here. One of our users has created a report in Report Builder. I want to take this report, post it to a folder and allow her employees to run the report. I've put it in a folder called "Reference Line Reports" and gave browser permission to a list of users. These users are able to run the report (without having access to Report Builder or the report model). When they try to utilize the "infinite clickthrough" functionality, I get the following error. The permissions granted to user '<domain>\<username>' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied) If I give one of these user ...Show All

  Hi, I am using a FTP client in my application. This FTP client is a freeware for .NET version1.1. It works fine for all files except two files. But these two files are required to FTP to a mainframe machine. I am able to FTP these two files in command prompt but getting error if I am trying to FTP through my c# application.

• Windows Forms Problems with a DataGridVew with a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn

  My objective is that a field value in Column1, a DataGridViewTextBoxColumn, selects the items listed in Column2, a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn. Also, I have a datasetA with the fields (id_A, name_A) and another datasetB with the fields (id_B, id_A, name_B); so the field id_A selects the values in dataSetB.

• Windows Forms How to prevent ComboBox auto DropDown

  Hi, I'm writing a custom CheckedComboBox with a multiple item select future but when I select an item from the dropdown menu, the dropdown menu automatically closes. How can I keep it open to select more than one item thanks for any help. I wrote it wrong, sorry, my custom control is CheckedComboBox. I don't want to use a CheckedListBox or a ListBox because I need a one which will open and close like a ComboBox but will have MultipleSelect and CheckBox futures which makes it suitable for my application. I know that the dropped part is a ListBox and I also learnt ( 5min. ago ) that if I want to dive into WndProc of this ListBox, I should catch WM_CTLCOLORLISTBOX event and then subclass it.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Keyboard State and color manipulation of textures

  Hello, I have a couple of questions and I'll do my best not to babble on. First, a little description of what I'm doing: I'm currently working on a little XNA application that effectively draws a game board in 2D (all textures) and then places new pieces on the board when I press the 'N' key and if I click on a piece, then I can move it. If I click on it once more, it will be 'let go.' Here's the questions: 1) When I press 'N' quickly, I get 6 new pieces (since it cycles through update 6 times before I let go... what can I say too slow on the draw ;) ). To fix this, I created a variable called nPress. Here's the code: bool nPress = false ; KeyboardState keyboardState = Keyboard .GetState(); if (keyboardState.I ...Show All
