• SQL Server Saving the File thru RS Scheduling to Remote Server.

  Hi Everyone, I am using RS 2000. I scheduled a job to save in the remote server and found to be saving according to the schedule. I have configured with Remote Server Administtrator as User Name and Remote Server Administrator's Password as password while configuring. Now I would like to schedule one report for 10 users and it needs to be saved in the respective folder. For these 10 users I need to create user account in Remote Server and the same user name and password to be given at the time of scheduling configuration. Also I need to give permission to the respecive folders manually in the remote server so that users can't see other folders. Is there any other way / method OR I need to contiune the same method.

• .NET Development When does a shared class get initalized, and who init's it?

  When does a shared class get initalized, and who init's it   If you are talking about a static class which exposes methods, then never.The method is hooked up to the calling method during the compilation stage and all objects are placed on the stack. When the call returns, then the objects are popped of the stack. The whole idea of the static, is that it is stateless, hence no member variables can be used that are not static on their own. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Visual Studio 6.0 SP5 setup on Vista Beta 2 (5384)?

  Does anyone know how to get around the MDAC check in the Service Pack 5 setup of Visual Studio 6.0 For some reason it doesn't detect MDAC 2.5 or higher which it requires (even though Vista obviously has a later version - 6.0) and the setup will not continue from that point. I've tried every registry key I could think of to trick it into thinking MDAC is installed. Thanks Ted. GuideX, You rock!!!!!!!!!!!!. How in the world did you figure that one out My Goodness. That worked like a charm. Amazing. Thanks a million. Just made my day. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Cannot use the Performance tools

  Hi, I'm trying to use the Performance Tools built into VS2005 but can't. Nothing happens when I try to create a new performance session, use the performance wizard or even view the performance explorer. (i.e. I click the menu item and nothing happens.) I think, I may have accidently removed it. Can anyone please tell me how to get it back. Thanks. Hi, I have Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Software Developers installed. I'm able to see the menu items (from related articles) but when I click on them nothing happens. I'm trying to get performance data from dlls. I should mention that I was able to use the performance tools previously. I created a session and added the assemblie ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions noob question: what do windows applications use as a db?

  sorry but I have this totally noob question. I'm completely new at writing windows applications, and want to learn. I have a book (sams learn in 24hours), and it briefly goes over ADO. My question is, besides writing to a flat txt file, what do windows applications use as a database Obviously your standard XP desktop doesn't have a db server, so how do programs save information I'm basically creating a database, but want it to be an installable program, not an MS Access db. But I'm having trouble figuring out what to do in regards to a DB. I see you can use localized db's inside VB, but I keep reading that the user would still need sqlserver express or is that wrong I was afraid that would be t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Inserted Data is not appearing in the dataset or updating the DB

  I am using Visual Studios 2005 (VB.Net) with an SQL Server 2005 Backend. My backend has all it's tables and relationships set up. I am trying to add information from the form. The first bit I'm trying to get working is just adding 'Titles' to a very simple table. TitleID | TitleDescription The code I have is: Me.TblTitlesTableAdapter.InsertQuery(Guid.NewGuid, "Sir") Me.TblTitlesTableAdapter.Update(Me.Nytdb.tblTitles) Me.Nytdb.AcceptChanges() I have also tried using Me.Nytdb.tblTitles.AcceptChanges().

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Serialise Building Blocks and 'load' them while 'online'

  Visual Studio in conjunction with Word 2007 gives great opportunities to automate building of documents from XML 'components', but it all seems only possible 'offline', i.e. when the document is closed. I would like to get XML fed into the document (or attached template) while it is open, for example, to update not just content, but also the structure of the document at a user's request, interactively, for when a brand new disclaimer is developed and the user decides to adopt it. Currently, XML properties are read only at runtime and building blocks can only be .Added from ranges (i.e. 'recorded like old autotexts). Can anyone please correct me if I'm wrong or let me know of a possible solution Thanks so much for any help! ...Show All

• Windows Forms Deployment - reading inputs into file system

  VB.NET .NET Framework 2.0 Visual Studio 2005 Please Help! In the deployment project of a VB.NET solution I have added a 'Textboxes (A)' component, straight after the Welcome box. To this I have set the Edit1Property to COMMONREPOSITORY and the Edit1Value to C:\MyRepository. I then use [COMMONREPOSITORY] as the DefaultLocation of a Custom Folder in the file system. On installation the folder C:\MyRepository is created as expected. However, if I change the value in the textbox (at install time) the folder C:\MyRepository is still created, instead of the new value. How can I update the created folder name from the user’s input (As a test I used [COMMONREPOSITORY] to create a registry key, and t ...Show All

• Visual C# Returning a value with decimals

  I am passing some numbers to a method that should return a decimal value but the method is rounding the decimal up to a whole number. How can I keep the decimals from disappearing : private decimal calcArea(int n, int w, int l, int h) { decimal dArea = (n * (((w*2)+(l*2))*h+(2*w)*l)) / 144 ; return dArea; } Thanks, cj The expression contains all integer terms so uses an integer division. Cast one of the terms to a decimal to get a decimal division. For example: decimal dArea = ((decimal)n * ...) / 144; or decimal dArea = (decimal)(n * ...) / 144; The first version avoids a potential overflow (depending where you put the parentheses) but is more expensive. ...Show All
