• SQL Server Getting the domain user running a report

  Hello everyone, I've created a report that will be used by some of my users. I'm trying to get Reporting Services setup so that I can see the user that is running a report. I start a Profiler trace but it's not showing me the login credentials of the user. It shows me the user account that is set for anonymous access (IIS -> Default Web Site -> ReportServer -> Authentication and Access Control). Can someone tell me the settings for RS and IIS so that I can see the domain account of the user who is running a report via Profiler If not, can someone point me in the right direction of where to look for how the settings should be Thanks Jarret We use a sperate folder for each user's re ...Show All

• Visual C++ Array copy?

  What's the best way to copy the contents of a 2-d array into another one of the same size Do I have to copy each element one by one or is there a method to do that directly I think if you deliberately put your array into a structure, then you could copy it directly using = operator, like this:   struct MyArray {     int values[10][20]; };   MyArray a1, a2; // . . . a2 = a1;   ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Image formats for toolbars?

  I'm curious what people are using for images on WPF toolbars Are you using icons, bitmaps, a geometry in XAML, or It's nice that you can easily make an interface scalable with WPF, but that implies that some sort of vector images would be best. But how do you make those look good when sized down to small areas like 16x16 I'd like to hear from some developers/designers that have been working with this awhile on what's worked best for them What gives you the best tradeoffs between ease of creation, good looks at larger sizes, and good looks at smaller sizes That's a good point I hadn't thought of before. That by using icons in XAML format, you have options to animate that you wouldn't have with a bitmap format. That in itself may be ...Show All

• Visual C# Anonymous Methods & Object Events

  I never did like how I HAD to hook an event to a class method signature. If I wanted to hook an event to an object instance within a function, that I only needed in that function, I had to create an event handle in the class. Thanks to anonymous methods, I can create my event handler body in an anonymous method from within my code. The problem is that I don't know how to 'unhook' the handler from the event, because the even doesn't expose the multicast delegate. psuedo-code: [code language=C#] form_OnClick(...) { Something s = new Something(); s.SomeEvent+=delegate(object sender, EventArgs e){this.a = e.a;}; {...} s.SomeEvent.Clear() //How do I do this {...} } [/code] Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Foundation Install Problems

  Here is the situation I find myself today. Over the weekend some of my team members uninstalled the Team Foundation Server RC and installed the Team Foundation Server Workgroup (May 2006). I am trying to configure the foundation serve; but do not know if it was installed as local or active directory domain(they don't remember it asking this) . Is there a way to verify domain membership of the foundation server Team Foundation Server could not resolve the user or group '{0}'. The user or group might be a member of a different domain, or the server might not have access to that domain. Verify the domain membership of the server and any domain trusts. Also, since the Foundation Server was uninstalled will I have problems configur ...Show All
