• Visual Studio Express Editions Cannot get name of selected node in treeview

  Coming from a VB6 background and now trying to learn how to do drag n drop in .NET seems to be somewhat challenging. I currently have 2 treeviews which I can fill with no problem. Just to get the basic feel of this I am not adding anything more than 4 items with no children. For simplicity they are in this order: Book, CD, DVD and Tapes. When I click on Tapes for expample in the view and go to drag it to the second treeview all I get is Book. The only way that I can get it is to hard code the number selected in the tree. trvItems.Nodes.Item(3).Text Replacing the "3" with anything else gives me the first item in the list. This is one of the ways that I have tried this: trvItems.Nodes.Item(trvItems.SelectedImageIndex).Text) Any tho ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Microsoft Project Plan (.mpp file) in Project Portal always locked

  Hi, Was wondering if anyone has seen this problem and possibly have a workaround for it. If we create a project plan using Microsoft Project 2003 (or 2007), publish the plan to the team server and then save the .mpp into a document list in the Project Portal. When attempting to edit the file project always displays the error "The file is locked by another user", read-only, notify, etc.. However the other user is me! Sometimes the error can be avoided by deleting Temporary Internet Files but not always. Curiously this only affects .mpp files that have been associated with a team project and are stored in the project portal. Storing them on the file system, or storing unbound plans in the portal works just fine. ...Show All

• SQL Server Create a PDF file directly to disk?

  Hello all, I use Reporting Services and an aspx page to create a PDF file. I need to save the file directly to a disk file with a name, without asking the user if he want to open or to save it. I'm using the folowing command: Response.WriteFile("http://" & System.Environment.MachineName & "/ReportServer %2fReportsApp%2fRptFSUnicoR&rs%3aCommand=Render&rs%3aFormat=PDF&MyID=" & IDFun, True ) Any idea how I do that Regards Hi Chris, Thank you for your answer. I'm afraid I will have to think in another solution. As Report is generated from Reporting Services I thought I could have another parameter to force the "save" at the time I render the Report.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Help me design Menu/Toolbar item coordinator

  Hello, I figure this is something that has been solved over and over again. There must be a pattern for it. I want to design a menu system & tool bar system for my rich client application. I want the menu/toolbar system to be smart enough to enable/disable items as the user’s context changes. For example, when the user enters the order window, the Order menu item along side the Order buttons on the toolbar are enabled and when the user moves to configuration the configuration items are enabled and the Order menu items are disabled. What is the best way to achieve this functionality Is there a way I can utilize commands and some sort of a coordinator that keeps track of what the context is I don’t want to write a bunch of ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Load test response time identical with or w/o gzip compression

  We have two web servers: one is configured with gzip compression while the other one is not. I'd expect that when we run the load test against the web server w/gzip compression, the response time would be faster. But our testing shows both servers have similar response time. Any idea why I ran the webtest, reviewed the request headers from the results, and I could see "Accept-Encoding : gzip". What else should I check ...Show All

• SQL Server OpenQuery() to Linked Server hangs, leaving SPID with open tran, then templog.ldf grows without limit.

  Hi, We have a customer that is using SQL Server 2000, and experiencing the following intermittent problem -- occasionally templog.ldf will grow and grow until it fills the entire disk. This is a rare problem, it has happened less than 10 times in the past two years, for a job that runs once a minute. But it has happened on 3 different SQL Servers, (two production servers, and one test server). Our suspicion is that the root cause is an OPENQUERY() to pull data from a linked server (Oracle database on Unix). We have seen that these OPENQUERY() statements occasionally hang and cannot be killed. The OPENQUERY() is used to populate a local table, and when we originally populated permanent tables with OPENQUERY(), then there would be a ...Show All
