• SQL Server rsAccessDeniedToSecureData

  I've installed a fresh load of SQL Server 2005 onto a Windows 2000 server, including all the trimmings with SS2005. Reporting Services 2005 is the main thing I want to initially check out, but I can't get it to work. In the 'Reporting Services Configuration' it shows the 'Web Service Identity' as a blank grey box which can not be edited. I can't help but think this might be where the issue is. I looked at this thread, as it describes the exact same problem, but the solution did not work for me. The RS service will start up, but then when I navigate to http://localhost/reportserver or http://localhost/reports it gives me the following error: Reporting Services Error Thanks for your reply again. 1. There was no problem accessing machine. ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development W3C?

  Hey, This is actually just a question, since i couldn't find the information, i would like to try the forum. My questions sounds: Are the new Internet Explorer 7 using the W3C validation without any specifications that makes html pages "tilt" and look clumsy in browsers than IE (currently thinking on Firefox, Netscape etc.). Best regards Michael Nielsen Michael, I'm sorry, I didn't quite understand your question. Can you rephrase, please If you're asking about WC3 compliance, many posts on the IE blog on MSDN describe the team's forcus and goals for compliance. Perhaps one of the posts there would answer your question. I can say that there were changes to the way IE7 handles certain CSS rules and features, especi ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Questions about State and Notifications Broker

  I'm trying to use RegistryNotifyApp() to register some notification to launch my own application. I found when I reboot my smartphone, the registry will be invalid and my application can not be launched. But WM smartphone SDK say the registry is persistent. --- " Notification requests that remain valid after the device is reset or after the application is closed. " So is it correct behavior that the registry will be invalid after I reboot my smartphone And is there any method I can use to determin if I has registered the specific notification for my application Then I can register the notification again, when I detect my application still not register the notification. Thanks! Hi, This information should be p ...Show All

• SQL Server Merge replication sync fails with error code 80040E19 on handheld

  Hi; We are performing merge replication between SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server Mobile with more than 1100 handheld, and recently replications are terminating with eror code 80040E19 . We can only avoid the problem by deleting the related user's partition directory and reruning the related user's dynamic snapshot.   Any advice on this issue would be appreciated Thanks, Hakan Gumus The Investigation about the case is still going on. The only workaround that we could find is dropping the related user's merge partition with below command and resync it. sp_dropmergepartition 'TESTPUB ' ,NULL, 'THOSTNAME' ...Show All

• Visual C# Extract text from htmls?

  I have a bunch of HTML files, and their names are stored in a text file, in seperate lines. I wrote a function that reads the files one by one. But I need a function to search for the text between <title> </title> tags and saves it in a new string. How can I search for the text between <title> </title> tags Well, that was the way i thought about it. But the prblem is how to search for "<title>" + what ever goes here + "</title>" and extract whatever is between PS: I'm new to C#. My question maybe stupid! But I really searched for it and couldn't know how to do it!!! ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Trouble while dealing with Share Point Object Model

  Hello everybody, I am getting some trouble around SharePoint Object model. I was intended to write a console or windows application that will connect two SharePoint site (One is SharePoint 2003 and the other is SharePoint 2007) and will move/copy documents from one to another. I have tried to connect to the SharePoint 2007 first and it was connecting fine. (I was running my application into the same machine where the SharePoint 2007 is installed). The application was retrieving the Document from the SharePoint 2007 as expected but the trouble raised when it was trying to connect with the SharePoint 2003. The error was The Web Application at could not be found. Verify that you have typed the URL correctly. If the URL sh ...Show All

• SQL Server Script task: ADODB connection and recordset

  Hi, I used adodb connection and recordset in script task. but i have an error saying adodb is not defined. how do i add it to reference or, is adodb can run in script task or only ado.net cherrie Hi, It's mentioned on your blog that you used a variable object and assigned that to recordset destination. I did the same. I created, first, an "ADODB" variable with object data type. then I added a data flow task in my project. Also inside it, i put an Oledb source connected to my recordset destination where the adodb variable is assigned. Then I created a script task connected to the data flow task (which handles the recordset destination). however, when i began using my adodb variable in th ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Text looks blury and hard to read.

  I need to place lots of text in different places in world space. I have tried a few things but they all look rubbish. Worst is using the 3D Text which puts the text on a mesh. I then tried to use 2D text (using LPD3DXFONT) to improve things, which looks great if you place it in screenspace but as soon as I flag the sprite I am drawing it on with D3DXSPRITE_OBJECTSPACE the text goes all blury. I also tried doing something similar to what a previous person in the forum asked how to do (i.e drawing to a texture then placeing the texture on a primative) but that also looks blury. Any ideas guys PS I am working in unmanaged DirectX9 with C++, but if you know in managed/c# its easy to translate (usally if we have the functions in unmanaged) ...Show All

• Visual C++ C++ debugging

  When I'm debugging a C++ application using the debugger in VC2005 some times it shows that variables are not properly set. When I go through step by step in debugging, one step shows that variables are not properly set by indicating with red. When I go to the next line suddenly all the variables have correct values. The line that I have passed has nothing to do with the variables. Is this a normal scenario. smk_k wrote: [...]When I go through step by step in debugging, one step shows that variables are not properly set by indicating with red. [...] I think red is used to emphasize the variables that were just changed during last step. Red does not mean "not properly set". ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Web tests for SharePoint/CMS site

  We’re using SharePoint and CMS to create and maintain four major web sites. In creating new pages, we open a new window, populate the template with text and images (images are selected from a gallery), and upon saving the new page, we intentionally refresh the new page. I’ve tried to create a web test to create (and delete) the new pages. When recording the test, everything works fine. However, on playback, the test fails on the refresh. It’s an automatic refresh, so there is no button to click. We’ve coded it in C#, but C# cannot do a postback without a button. We’ve also tried using Fiddler to capture the missing steps, to no avail. A support call to MS was not fruitful despite the excellent efforts from the tech. Has anyone use ...Show All

• .NET Development TCP Slow-Start

  Hi folks, This might not be the best place for this question but I am struggling to find a better forum. How do you disable the TCP Slow-Start function on a Windows Server Regards To the best of my knowledge TCP slow start is required to be in place in order for the TCP congestion mechanisms to work and a stack to be considered RFC compliant. See the "TCP/IP Implementation" whitepaper available via search on Microsoft.com for further details. You can however disable Nagle's algorithm via a socket option. Is that what you were after If not, why do you want to disable slow start ...Show All

• Windows Forms Selecting a child control on a custom control at design time

  I have developed a custom WinForms control I call the "XLayout" control. It has a collection of Panels and a Collection of Splitters. The control provides several predefined layouts and also allows the user to define a custom layout. To facilitate the custom layout feature I need the user to be able to select a panel or splitter (child control) inside the custom control. I can select a child control using a custom control designer and the ISelectionService.SetSelectedComponents() method however there are some issues... Issues: 1) The selected child control cannot be sized...The sizing grips do not show up for the selected child control 2) The selected child control cannot be z-ordered using the bring to front, send to back ...Show All
