• Visual Studio Windows Form ReportViewer Not Binding To Data Source

  In VS2005, SP1 beta, I am trying to drag a report viewer onto a form and then attach it to the .rdlc report. When I have done this for other reports, a BindingSource, DataSet, and TableAdapter are automatically binded and populated below but this behavior is not occurring with this report. The difference between this report and the others is that this dataset and report are based on three tables (views) instead of one. What do I need to do differently Otherwise, I get an error message like: "A data source instance has not been supplied for the data source 'dataSource3'". I've went into my .rdlc report under Data Sources, and all three data tables are listed. Thanks, cj ...Show All

• SQL Server Maintenance Wizard error...

  Hi, I'm just trying to use the Maintenance Wizard for the first time, but the SQL Server Management Studio shows me an error message about 'Agent XPs' is not running on my server; and I should activate it through 'sp_configure' I've tried to understand 'sp_configure' by searching it on MS TechNet, etc. But of course, because I'm not a SQL Server expert user; I don't even know how to use 'sp_configure' at all.... Anyone know how to work this thing around Appreciate all the help... PS: I almost forgot to mention, that I'm using MS Windows Small Business Server R2 2003 with SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition. Chris, Is it really true, you did have the similar problem with Maintenance Wizard li ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Anyone had problems with WorkItemStore.BatchSave?

  I have been creating work items through the OM and successfully saving them using WorkItem.Save. As I will be migrating some 7000 records from our old defect system, I thought it would be nice to call the WorkItemStore.BatchSave method once instead. However, I receive the following error when I call the WorkItemStore.BatchSave method with an array of work items (even though I can later save the exact same work items individually with .Save without a problem): An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.dll Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. The WorkItemStore object has been created fine as has the work it ...Show All

• Visual C# Allocating Memory for huge array

  I have an array of struct which I can create up to a certain size. The max is 250M, but I have 4G of ram on my WIndows XP Pro machine. How can I allocate more I read straight into memory from file using 'unsafe' code. I need to load in about 1G. Can you help me Moon Yes. I could do that and it's a good suggestion. However, first, I am trying to get away with a major code rewrite which that would entail. It appears to me the VirtualAlloc does what I want, I am just having problems then mapping the memory allocated to the my array. I want to be able to do something like data = new Peter[]; Peter* P = VirtualAlloc(BigSize); UnknownMethod.MapArrayToPointer(data,P); And then be a ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. telling the difference between xbox 360 and pc

  Is there a way for your game to detect what environment it's running in (eg 360 or windows) There are some environment specific issues I want to play with. I guess this is a little premature since we can't compile/export to the 360 yet. So what about #ifdef WINDOWS I thought the idea of XNA was that Microsoft was open to XNA being ported to other platforms, so it would make sense to #define the platform for every platform, rather than the binary case of 360 or not 360 !!! ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Freezable changes in June CTP

  In the June CTP, what became of FreezableCollection.SetFreezableContextCore(bool) and Freezable.SetFreezableContext() These methods are no longer available, and I can't find anything on this topic. Have they been replaced with something new, or removed completely Thanks in advance. I'm using a slightly modified version of Pete Blois' code from February 9, 2006: http://blois.us/blog/files/Actions.zip (his blog is at http://www.blois.us/blog/ ). This worked fine in the May CTP, and stopped working in June when the above methods were removed. When I comment out SetFreezableContextCore(), the code compiles but no longer works. OnFreezablePropertyChanged is called in various places, but doesn't seem to do the trick. What do you suggest ...Show All
