• SQL Server Dynamic data source name...

  Sorry if this is a pretty basic question.. but my team here is working on SQL Reporting app for the first time. is it possible to put the data source name/connection string in a config file (like web.config) and have the reports use that from there What is the standard way of doing this while trying to deploy the reports on different servers Thanks Hi, Can't seem to get the dynamic data source name to work either, yet we have a brand new SQL Server 2005 installation running with Reporting Services. When I simply go to the Data tab to add the ="....." to my existing connection string (so I'm not even trying to use any report parameter at this stage), it still doesn't work as if it wouldn't interpret it corr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions ISO file for SDK

  So, I decided to burn a CD. I downloaded what was billed as an ISO image: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx familyid=E15438AC-60BE-41BD-AA14-7F1E0F19CA0D&displaylang=en First off, is that the correct latest and greatest The file that got downloaded has a type extension of .img , not .iso as I expected. My burner (Nero) does not recognize the extension. What's up with that I was able to make a CD of VC++ Express with no problem. It had a .iso type. Anyone know what I can do with the .img file   Or better yet, where I can get the .iso file orcmid wrote: For the Platform SDK from here , be sure to use these instructions .

• Windows Forms Unable to update the dependencies of the project AKA vsdeploy.chm:2300 - Information Not Found

  I have installed VS 2005 Pro on a workstation for a contract job. I installed all of MSDN. I was having no problems for the first 10+ days with a solution that consists of a VB project and a deploy project that includes the one .exe and 2 Crystal Reports DLLs. Monday, I was prompted to install a critical MS XP update that turned out to be Genuine Advantage Verification. I installed it and rebooted my system as instructed. Since then, whenever I try to build/rebuild the solution or the deploy project, I get an error message "Unable to update the dependencies of the project." When I right click on this description, then select "Open Error", I get a help screen with the heading "Information Not Found" with sug ...Show All
