• SQL Server Adding more observations on SSRS with SP2 CTP installed

  In the standard report manager I'm running a report with 5 parameter choices. The first 3 are determinants of the 4th, and the combined 1-4 determine the 5th. Although this works fine in my VS BIDS (sp1) with SQL 2005 sp2 CTP, when I deploy it to my sp2 CTP Report server, it throws an error as soon as I select the 3rd parameter. One or more data sources is missing credentials I found this answer from MS in another thread ( http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=923684&SiteID=1 ) and since it deals with my problem, wanted to pass it along to anyone else that is dealing with this problem. " This is a known regression with CTP2 that will be fixed before SP2 is released. The problem is not specific to ...Show All

• Visual C# How do you REMOVE or DELETE Items from Recent Projects list in VS2005 RC?

  I have been testing  VS2005 RC and as a result, I have built many applications. Most I am no longer interested in or use and would like to DELETE them from the RECENT Projects list, but I dont see how ! I have been achieving this by manualy deleting the project from IIS, but there's got to be a better way ! Any ideas cheers, yousaid Really, you shouldn't need to, but there is a way. If you continue to use Visual Studio with different projects, only the most recent few projects are shown.  So, those that you no longer use will "age off" the list, and be replaced by those that you do use. If you don't want to wait for that to happen, however, you can clear them out of the registry.  The MRU li ...Show All

• SQL Server Implementing Transaction in SSIS Package - [Execute SQL Task] Error: Failed to acquire connection "<ConnectionName>".

  I have a simple SSIS package with three "Execute SQL Tasks". I am using ADO.Net Connection to execute SPs on a DB server. When I execute this package It works fine. So far so good.

• SQL Server Copy objects with DTS Import/Export Wizard?

  Has the functionality of copying objects using the DTS Import/Export Wizard been removed in SQL Server 2005 MSDN says this about the wizard: "With the DTS Import/Export Wizard, you can transfer database objects such as indexes, views, roles, stored procedures, and referential integrity constraints. For more information, see Copy SQL Server Objects Task ." But the "for more imformation" link describes adding a task to a DTS package to copy an object, not how to use the wizard to copy objects. It's been awhile since I've used SQL Server 2000, but as I recall it was possible to copy objects as well as data using the DTS Import/Export Wizard. Thanks, Ron I am getting very frustrated, for two da ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Filter's deconstructor not called and output still active object warning window

  Hello, I have wrote a filter to act like the dump filter in the DirectSDK C++ sample. When I open up the GraphEdit.exe and put my filter as a rendering filter in the graph, it works fine. When I then choose to close the GraphEdit.exe application, an warning dialog tells me that ( I have 5 objects left active ). It's been annoying so I tried to figure it out. In the DllEntryPoint function there is a routine called: DbgDumpObjectRegister(); I use this routine and find out that there are really 5 objects of mine and not deleted in the deconstructor routine. My question is, I have the deconstructor routine but it didn't been called, why and How do I overcome this The dumped debugging message are the following: =====DbgInitialize()==== ...Show All
