• Visual C++ fatal error RC1107: invalid usage; use RC /? for Help

  Hi I'm trying to compile apache httpd-2.2.3-win32-src, that I converted to a vs2005 project using the wizard, but I get the following errors: fatal error RC1107: invalid usage; use RC / for Help I found something related to this in: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=123870&SiteID=1 but I can't figure out what to change since all my paths in Tools->Options->Project and Solutions->VC++ Directories start with something like $(FrameworkSDKDir) or $(VCInstallDir) and not the full paths. Could anyone tell me how to show the full paths or has anyone got a different solution to my issue. Thanks Martin Malek Sorry but I'm still getting the same results.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WCF and Reporting Services

  Hi! I am using the Reporting Services web-service and WCF. Because I am new to WCF I would like to ask you two questions: Question 1: Is it possible to send username/password when you generate a proxy class with svcutil I have tried to embed it into the URL but it does not work ( http://username:password@host ). As a workaround I enable anonymous access in IIS and then svcutil works fine. Question 2: I can now generate reports with the ReportingServicesClient and everything is great except for the anonymous part. I am looking for an example that shows how to set up authentication. I want to try both basic authentication and integrated windows authentication. Th ...Show All

• SQL Server Scope & Case

  In reworking some CASE statements to enhance performance, I followed Mosha's suggestion to use SCOPE and CASE to have faster queries that are still readable. They do perform much quicker (10x), but the calculated measure doesn't behave the same way. For example, in a calculation to determine a change in a measure from one period to the next and a date dimension that contains 1 year of data over 2 calendar years (October 2005-September 2006), the first year of the hiearchy returns no data. Adding another measure to the query results in values for both measures. This works as expected...

• SQL Server The value is too large to fit in the column data area of the buffer.

  I am getting the following error on my SSIS package. It runs a large amount of script components, and processes hundred of thousands of rows. The exact error is: The value is too large to fit in the column data area of the buffer. I redirect the error rows to another table. When I run just those records individually they import without error, but when run with the group of 270,000 other records it fails with that error. Can anyone point me to the cause of this issue, how to resolve, etc. Thanks. "The value is too large to fit in the column data area of the buffer" is the Message property of the exception thrown in a script component when truncation occurs on a column write.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Bugcode_USB_Driver error w/USB devices attached

  I just completed installing Windows Vista RC1 on a VMWare 5.5 machine, and everytime I power down Windows Vista when USB devices are attached, I get a BSOD with the Bugcode_USB_Driver error. If I remove the USB devices before powering down, which include a Intellipoint Explorer wireless mouse and a portable storage devices, the BSOD/error does not appear and system shuts down just fine.

• Visual Studio Team System WSS & SSL

  I am fighting with the TFS setup for the fourth day in a row. I am making progress, but now I hit a brick wall. In IIS I added a SSL binding to the Default Web Site that hosts the WSS stuff by setting SecureBindings to ":443:www.tfs.fnu.mycompany.com" That worked and I can now access the WSS stuff via the https protocoll on port 443. I then updated the TFS registration info with tfsreg, in particular for the WSS stuff I changed the ServiceInterface for BaseServerUrl and BaseSiteUrl to the new https DNS name. I can browse projects just fine, all over port 443 and SSL. But project creation doesn't work. I narrowed it down to the following problem. Team Explorer seems to call the /_vti_adm/admin.asmx on the WSS administr ...Show All

• SQL Server Sorting Reports with ReportExecution2005 web service

  I've been banging my head against this for a while now and have searched through the documentation and google and posted to the newsgroups with no luck. The ReportExecution2005 namespace contains a sort method, but the documentation doesn't indicate how it's used. The method accepts a string for the sort item, but that string apparently has to be an integer. I've called the method and regardless of the input, the result is the same: * The sort method returns 1 and the report item passed in is the report item returned in the 'out' variable. * The sorting is not reflected in the output of the Render method. I can't simply use interactive sorting because, in our deployment, the SQL Server and Reporting Services are not accessible ...Show All

• Visual C# Is it possible to "synchronize" 2 clients?

  I have absolutely no idea where to post this, so just tell me if I did it wrong. After going through half the internet...okay that's an overstatement, but you get the point. I couldn't find the answer to this...maybe odd ...question. Okay so here's the problem. what I want to do is have 1 server (ASP.NET) and two client browsers. These two clients need to display the same page. And then (for the sake of an example) this page would have like a button or something. Would it be possible to have it so that if you click that button on client A it would also happen on client B I need to know in the first place if it is even possible. If not, just say so and I'm already happy :) If it is, I need some basic info on how to go ab ...Show All
