• SQL Server Report parameter question

  Hi there, I am a tad confused with an exception that I get whet trying to render a report to pdf. I pass 2 arraylists which contains the name and value of the parameters. I iterate through these lists (which are of equal lenght) and set the parameters. I am very new to this so I am sure that I am doing something stupid somewhere in the code below: ' Create instance of save dialog and set default ' filename and filter saveReportDialog = New SaveFileDialog saveReportDialog.Filter = GetFilterString(pFormat) saveReportDialog.FileName = pName ' Open the save file dialog Dim dr As DialogResult = saveReportDialog.ShowDialog() If dr = DialogResult.OK Then Dim fileName As String = save ...Show All

• SQL Server GetDataDrivenSubscriptionProperties vs GetSubscriptionProperties

  Is there a similar method for Data Driven Subscriptions like there is for plain subscriptions ListSubscriptions. I would like to get SubscriptionID for use with the GetDataDrivenSubscriptionProperties just as I do for GetSubscriptionProperties.

• Smart Device Development How to retrieve debug message of kernel or applications just like platform builder does

  Hi all, I'v read some documents about core connectivity. It's seems that we could use the interface provided by it to implement a pc-side application to retrieve debug messages outputed by kernel or other applications just like all IDE does. Unfortunately, I can't find any sample code from the internet. If someboby coule give me some hints or samples, it will be a great appreciate. Thanks This forum is smart device development related.

• Visual Studio Team System Team Build, 3rd Party References, and Web Deployment Projects

  Hi All, This may have been posted before and such, but I tried a few solutions on the web but to no avail. Problem: I have a web projects (not Web Application Project) with many project references and a few 3rd party references. The 3rd party references are automatically added to the web.config file as another <add assembly/> element via the VS.NET 2005 IDE. The 3rd Party References are within Source Control not under the solution file node. e.g. Source Control Structure: $/Code/MyCode/MySolution.sln $/Code/MyCode/MyNameSpace/WebProject/$/Code/MyCode/MyNameSpace/MyProj1/MyProj1.csproj $/Code/MyCode/MyNameSpace/MyProj2/MyProj2.csproj $/Code/ReleasedAssemblies/ThirdParty/Microsoft $/Co ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Question of build?

  Hi, I have this scenario, I have some Team Project called "W" I did some branch of code from W version 1.1, so, I want to know if I run or build my Branch Project this automatically takes all componets from the base project in this case "W" My branch project have only for expample the version 1.2 so what happens when I build my branch project The whole purpose of branching is to create isolation. When you create a branch, a copy of the source code at that level will be created in the branch and both will be isolated from each other. So, I think when you build branch the original branch (trunk) source code will not be built. In fact you can continue separate development in both the branches. That is how you can have bug-fixes in or ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Camera woes

  Hi all. I'm having trouble with my camera class. All is well (walking, elevating, strafing) until I pitch up a bit and start yawing. What happens is, as I'm yawing, the camera seems to be rolling in the direction of the yaw on its own. This only happens when I have my camera type set to FPS, where I'm trying to limit to yawing on the world Y axis. The FREE type works as intended and yaws on it's own local Y (Up) axis. Any ideas Before: http://img435.imageshack.us/img435/2787/ss1ja1.jpg After pitching about 35 degrees up and then yawing to the left several times around: http://img282.imageshack.us/img282/4946/ss2aq7.jpg I pasted my Yaw, Pitch, and BuildView methods below.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ExtensionDataObject features?

  I'm currently planning a WCF based system which may use IExtensibleDataObject to handle future revisions to data contracts, however I was expecting to have a little more visibility into the ExtensionDataObject class. My ideal plan would be to have a version1 client able to receive the version2 data (this works) but then the client should also be able to see if there is anything in the ExtensionDataObject, then I can notify users that the client wont be able to do anything with the additional data in the version2 data contract. The problem is that the extension data is all in private members and its a sealed class. :S Is there another way to do this what a bull design decision. how can you postulat ...Show All

• SQL Server Can I retrieve a result set from a sp into a variable within a Execute SQL Task?

  Can I retrieve a result set from a sp into a variable within a Execute SQL Task I have tried this with just about every combination available with no luck. Do you need to add anything to the exec command I am passing it one variable and it now looks like this "exec sp_name '20071201'" Do I need to change it to look like this "exec sp_name '20071201', " or this "exec sp_name '20071201', OUTPUT". I also have a variable set up under result set and included it in executevariablevalue. Just to be clear the SP is not putting anything in a variable but builds a report in a fiels and at the end does a select @report to display what was built in @report. I hope this is clear.
