• Visual Basic Numbers and date format in Visual Studio Reports (.rdlc)

  I am using an english version of visual studio 2005. I am from a spanish spoken country (CHILE!). Until now when I program, I can change the format of numbers and dates to the formats use in my country. The problem is that I need to format numbers in the reports that I create in visual studio. The reports are in the format .rdlc. I need that the numbers have as a decimal separator a comma (,) and as a number separator of thousands a period (.). In the case of date format, instead of showing the report the day "Monday, 12 of Febrary", I need to appear the name "Lunes 12 de febrero". How can I do this in my reports since I have a english version of the program Thanks in advance Mike ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TF30162: Fails portal creation when creating Team Project

  Attempting to create a new Team Project gives the following error. We're using the release version of TFS and MSF for Agile template. Following the instructions in another thread: https://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=150809&SiteID=1&mode=1 I think I've been able to find the issue. When I try to add a top level site to the "Default Web Site", I get an error that says: "The virtual server that is referenced here is not in the config database." Anyone have an idea what I'm missing here I do find the server in the STS_CONFIG_TFS database in Servers and VirtualServers. 2007-02-19 08:32:58Z | Module: Internal | Team Foundation Server proxy retrieved | Completion time: 0 seconds 2007-02-19 08:32:59 ...Show All

• Visual C# best obfuscator

  What is the best obfuscator out there each one of them claims to be better than the others. So which one to choose from Hi I use Eziriz's .Net Reactor. Of course as you said they all claim that they're the best, but beside it's power and simplicity of use, Reactor is really cheap (Only about 160$) so it's not a big risk to test it; although I would advise you to use it for everything of it, not only the price. You can download the trial here: http://www.eziriz.com HTH cheers, farshad ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Portal Single Collumn Layout

  I have spent a good hour or so trying to figure out how to get the default team portal WSS 3.0 site to more than 1 collumn and my searches have come up empty. If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Also, the logo is MSF for Agile instead of the custom one I selected in site settings, if someone could tell me how to change this it would be great. Thanks, ~James I had to reset my portal site due to an error - here is the link to the article. It does reset your sharepoint site, so you get 2 zones, but beware it resets everything to the generic sharepoint look. For example, all the Reporting Service links are gone. Good luck http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx ...Show All

• .NET Development Context.Session is Nothing after Server.Transfer

  Hi I am writing some HttpModule code to implement URL redirection, in order to remove querystrings from my URLs, so the search engines won't croak. The server.transfer works fine (in that it transfers me to the correct URL), but within the new page (the one being transferred to), 'context.session' is nothing. If I execute that same code by calling the URL directly (ie, without using the HttpModule to redirect), then context.session is fine. Here's the code for the HttpModule... ************** start of code ****************** Namespace MyNamespace Public Class HelperClass Implements IRequiresSessionState End Class Public Class HttpModule Implements IHttpModule Private m_application As HttpApplication Private ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista VB6 SendKeys doesn't work

  Why does the VB6 function SendKeys not work under Windows Vista Beta2 Build 5384 Does anybody know, if this will be fixed in final version VB6 is out of date, obsolete and unsupported. Any app that uses WPF ( which some apps on Vista may well do ) is not going to support SendKeys, or anything like it. As VB6 is unsupported, I doubt anyone is going to 'fix' it. In fact, it's probably a 'fix' that you can no longer write apps that manipulate other programs, which can obviously be used for bad as well as good. ...Show All

• Gadgets attachElementBindingSync

  Can anybody explain what is this binding(Web.Bindings) all about and when to use "attachElementBindingSync" method Thanks I'm back with code. Let me first apologize because the formatting here sucks. I'll try my best, but there's only so much you can do in the comment box. With that said, onto the code! First, here's some code for a simple binding. This defines a simple loading screen you can use within a gadget. I'll comment on the code below. registerNamespace( "ToddOs.Utils" ); ToddOs.Utils.LoadingPanel = function (p_elSource, p_args, p_namespace) { ToddOs.Utils.LoadingPanel.initializeBase( this , arguments); var m_this = this ; // must be a valid CSS value for ...Show All

  I’ve created a page that engages the Identity Selector, but gets the error message: ‘Windows CardSpace encountered an error when verifying the identity of the site and cannot continue.’ The page is located on a shared hosting account that supports ASP.Net 2.0 running on Windows 2003 Server.

• Visual C++ _mm_set_ps() - Is it buggy ?

  Hi, i'm optimizing some code using the SSE intrinsics. The new code was developed using VS2003 .NET an was finally running fine. The "old" code is part of a VS2005 .NET project, and i added the developed classes to this workspace. I integrated the new classes, but the final executable did only work in debug mode. After some time i identified the _mm_set_ps() intrinsic to be the origin of the crash, and so i created a test case to verify the problem. The code: void test_mm_set_ps() { // define an WORD array OutputDebugString( "* Create WORD array\n" ); long lSize = 512; WORD *pwData = new WORD[ lSize ]; for ( long i = 0; i < lSize; ++i ) { // pwData[ i ] = 0; pwData[ i ] = 1; } // now build the S ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can you include a Database project in a Team Build

  Ok it seems I did not get any response from my earlier question so let me ask this. Has anyone successfully included a Database project in there team build If so can you tell me how you did it I ask this because I found out yesterday that I cannot include a Report project in a Team Build (I cannot believe Microsoft does not support there own project types) and I am trying to figure out if I am wasting my time trying to get the Database project to work. Team Build uses MSBuild.exe to compile solutions, run unit tests, etc. In general, Team Build can build any project types that can be built using MSBuild.exe, which I believe includes Database projects (see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa8331 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Is this possible???

  As part of my program I would like to set up an address book. I have created the form for this. My question is: can I connect/create a database for just this part of my program. I have never created a database but am looking forward to giving it a go. This programming thing is totally addictive!! The reason storing in a text file is not the best of ideas - is that it means you have to write more code to do searching, sorting, modification of records etc. For this reason a database is a better bet. As to how difficult it is - With databinding, this is not a difficult task. Many of the walkthroughs / examples and webcasts which cover databinding can be modified to basically store different fields for ...Show All
