• Visual Studio Team System MSB3021 errors when building solution that includes website

  I have a solution with 7 projects in it (1 website, 4 libraries, 2 c# executables, and 1 j# executables). I first had problems figuring out which build platform to use but I think I got past it. Now I am getting errors when it is trying to copy 4 files from the website bin directory to the drop location. It should be copying the files to: \\server\projects\deployment\filename.xml Instead it is trying to copy them to \websitename\\filename.xml Any ideas maybe I'm missing something then. If I have multiple projects in a solution, where each have a configuration file with the same name, but different values in it, how can that work ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView ERROR!

  I am using a grid that has its DataSource changed at runtime. It works fine except for one data source. I get this massive error(too long to type)that kind of looks like it is having problems with null values. I click through the error and the error comes back for each row in the dataset. Once I make it through all the rows the grid is populated as it should be. The dataset is a simple select with no parameters. Brings back 18 rows and yes there are a few nulls but I set the nullvalue property to "-". Error = System.ArgumentException: Parameter is not valid ... and then it goes on forever One other item, the datasources don't necessarily have the same number of columns. I don't know if that matters. Any help would be ...Show All

• Visual Studio Problem in VSS pointing to another PC's Web Folder

  I made VSS project on one machine and set the working folder of web site folder on other machine. Now when user updates anything using the same VSS database....the files are getting updated in VSS but not on actual web folder..........any suggestions. gnanforu, Did you set the working folder in Visual SourceSafe The working folder tells Visual SourceSafe where to put local files if you do a Get or Checkout. If you want to have a remote folder update with the latest versions of files when files get checked in to VSS, you want to set up a Shadow folder. You can do this from the Adminstrator program that comes with Visual SourceSafe. Let me know if this helps! -Brad Peterson VS Test lead ...Show All

• SQL Server Pass data to a report?

  Hi all, We have an ASP.NET application that generates various reports and word documents. The word documents and the reports require the exact same data and we have written some rather complex functionality that generates the SQL select statements to fetch this data. The statements are currently being used to create ADO.NET DataSets which feed the word documents. How can we now get these DataSets to feed the reports too We would really, really, really like to avoid having to recreate the logic for constructing the select statements within SSRS. Can we pass the DataSets themselves, or can we serialize them to XML using the WriteXml method then pass the Xml data as parameters or is there a way to just pass the SQL to ...Show All

• SQL Server Limitation of # cubes inside a base Analysis Services

  Does anyone have any idea which is the limitation of # cubes inside a base Analysis Services, because I created 50 cubes, and when I tried to connect to the base, i was enable to do that because the CPU was at 100 %. I think that is a problem when analysis services tried to read the xmla and print all the cubes. Tks Well. There is a point where number of cubes and size of your data requre you to go and get a bigger machine. It would be wrong to assume you can create any number of cubes and expect from Analysis Services not to use more CPU or memory trying to handle them all. The question what is reasonable. If you think that you got poweful machine with multiple processors and fast I/O and you see Analysis S ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) wcf based sample for sync service

  Hi Rafik Thanks for the great example. I was actually looking out for a viable solution to implement sync feature with our product. Ours is a health care product and we need to make available the application and the data (partail content) to doctors who go to remote locations to visit patients. I was looking out for various options like SCOAB, SQL Merger Replication, etc.. finally got hold of the ADO.Net sync service, and I hope this would provide me with the right solution to for adoption. I initially had a look at the webcast from Steve, was pretty interesting and then was looking out for samples, which I could run through. then luckily happened to come across your samples, which were of great help. Rafik, do you also have a sam ...Show All

• SQL Server Expanding All SubQuery Nodes In Reports

  Hi Everybody, I've got a report that builds out top level data and adds the plus symbol (+) for collapse/expand next to each of the rows for me to display a detail level tied to that record. The problem is when we do an export or print, it only applies to the top level instead of all of the detailed information. Is there a way to automatically expand all tree-nodes in a report for these subqueries Thanks in advance. Best Regards, Justin Gentle bump... Anybody know how to do this I just want to be able to expand all child nodes of a record, either automatically or programatically... Thanks! ...Show All

• .NET Development web service, App_Data - is this needed

  Hello, I have created a web service and will publish to a remote IIS, however the publishing takes over a hour and sometime longer. But this App_Data is 10mb in size. In my code all I have is about 10 methods which most of them return a dataset from a sql server database. I am wondering, do i need this App_Data what purpose does it serve What data does it store Many thanks for any advice, Steve Hi steve. Here is my view of it. The App_Data folders main purpose is to contain data files. (*mdb, *mdf, XML instance document, etc....) It's by default hidden for the internet user so that your datafiles is not by a mistake made accessible to others, not even read permission. So to run our application and to cor ...Show All

• .NET Development authentication: choose an existing db to create tables

  Hi i'm starting a new asp.net 2.0 web site project; for the authentication part, I'd like to use the Web Site Administration Tool : by default, it creates a so-called "ASPNETDB.MDF" database in my web site's "App_Data" folder... but I'd rather like these tables to be created in an existing SQL Server 2005 database: how do I do that My Web Site Administration Tool doesn't give any option to select an existing database...

• Visual Studio Message for Empty Crystal Report

  In my Web application, I have Crystal Report that generates a report based on parameters selected by user. When a user enters parmeters which return no rows, I get report displaying report header, page header... etc. with no data. Instead of emtpy report, I would like to display a message saying e.g. "No records meet selection criteria". How can I accomplish this thanks Hi, I guess what melody is trying to suggest is that you manually query your database to see if there's a result. You can achieve this by using a Command and Datareader object. Just reply to this thread if you want a full sample. cheers, Paul June A. Domag ...Show All
