• SQL Server SQL Server Mobile with Visual Studio 2003

  I've recently noticed the availability of SQL Server Mobile, and would like to take advantage of some of the new features, however, I'm currently using Visual Studio 2003. The requirements state that Visual Studio 2005 is required, but I was wondering if anyone has had any success getting it to work with VS 2003 I hope that I can do this with VS 2003, but if VS 2005 will be required, I'd like to clear up a few issues before asking my workplace to fork out more money for the upgrade: What have your experiences been like in getting clients to upgrade from SQL Server CE to SQL Server Mobile I've seen some postings regarding problems with specific devices which seem a bit worrying, but I was wondering how easy it was in gen ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Link two List Views to make Master Details

  Hi, I have created two seperate views and want to be able to click a link in one of them which will take you to the other view and only show the list items associated with the record that was clicked on, and also be able to edit and add new items that would be associated with the record that was clicked. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Grant. If you have a Business Data Catalog, you could try using the "Business Data List" and "Business Data Related List" web parts. From the description, they sound promising. Good luck! -Brian ...Show All

• Gadgets prevent Setting UI from opening?

  Does anybody know of a way to take control and prevent the Settings UI from opening when the user clicks the little wrench icon I've set a breakpoint in the onShowSettings event that I set and looked to see if I could see some kind of event object that I could set cancel on but no go. I also tried returning false, but that had no effect either. I'm thinking I'd like to trap the user action and display my own setting within the gadget itelf or just block the setting UI during certain times of the gadget lifecycle. It's mostly becasue I think I should be able to, but there's also this: There is a small window of time between when I click a button that launches a flyout and it actually opens. If you are quick enough, you can also ...Show All

• SQL Server Service Unavailable - SSRS 64bit

  We've recently attempted to get RS 2005 64bit up and running on MS Virtual Server and the installation seems to have worked properly (the RS Configuration all seemed fine also). However, when going to http://localhost/Reports or http://localhost/Reports Server , it gives me the message "Service Unavailable". Everything looks good in IIS (using 2.0). What else can I do to troubleshoot this issue Are the services started properly What does the event log and the log entries in the LOG directory of Reporting Services tell you There has to be a problem while starting up the service.
