• SQL Server Help with problem from editing rsWebApplicationConfig

  Our report server was being accessed by machine name, not alias, so I had an alias set up. I was working to get the subscription emails to use the new alias, instead of machine name. I think I should have edited the rsreportserver.config file, but first I edited the rsWebApplication.config file, and added an URL into <ReportServerURL> tag. At that point clicking on New Subscriptions stopped working - now I always get an Error page with this message "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". That's only for new subscriptions, not new Data driven subscriptions. In the error logs, I got this message: w3wp!library!c!2/5/2007-18:46:46:: e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Setup and Deployment of more than 1 DLL

  Hi all, I have an application that tests if hardware plugins work fine. This application has its executable. The executable is dependent on a DLL. However, for my application, I am packaging it with 2 other DLLs that are the plugins for the different hardware architectures. This is what I have done: 1. Created the setup and deployment project and it has rightfully imported the DLL which it is dependent on. 2. Added the 2 plugin DLLs that I would like to package my application with. Now, when I compile the setup and deployment project, I get the following warning: WARNING: Two or more objects have the same target location ('[payload_ul]\8.0.50727.42.cat') WARNING: Two or more objects have the same target location ('[payload_ul]\8.0.50727.4 ...Show All

• SQL Server problems with sync_type 'replication support only'

  Hi, I try to setup a transactional push replication from MS SQL Server 2005 to Sybase ASE 12.5.3. ASE is known to MS SQL Server as a linked server using OleDB. As table schema and data are valid at subscriber site I don't need a initial snapshot for the replication. So I do some tests with sync_type (sp_addsubscription). First I tried 'none'. That works fine. But the documentation says that it is depricated an I should use 'replication support only'. But with this syn_type replication stops because is sends the following commands to the subscriber: -- -- Transactional replication custom procedures for publication 'kunktable_pub' from database 'kunktest2': -- ---- ---- Replication custom procedures will not be scripted for article 'kunktabl ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team build label and solutions with projects from different team projects

  Please consider this scenario: I have a "MyApp" solution that includes a web site project from Team Project MyApp and a class library project from Team Project Common. The web site project uses a project reference to the class library. I have successfully configured the Team Build process to build the solution by pulling and building the Common project's solution using information obtained from posts in this forum. However, the build label is only applied to files in the MyApp Team Project. How do I get the build label to apply to the related Common files in the separate Team Project so I can repeat builds by pulling a single label Would it help if I used a file reference instead to a common binaries folder ...Show All

• Commerce Server Tax Support in commerce server 2007

  Hi Is there any tax calculation support in commce server 2007 Praba, There isn't any out-of-the-box functionality that I know of for calculating tax. This can either be handled by a third party tax service provider (IE: CyberSource), or you could write some custom code which keeps these tax calculations in-house. If you open up the total.pcf, you'll notice a pipeline stage labeled "Tax". There are currently two pipeline components present, DefaultTaxCy and RequiredTaxCy. You can find the documentation for these on MSDN for a really good explanation, but the easy way of looking at it is that DefaultTaxCy creates entries in your OrderForm object called _cy_tax_total and _cy_tax_included, RequiredTaxCy just asser ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Missing Prerequesite depenecy in the March Orcas CTP

  Hi, today i wanted to install the Orcas ctp, but allready the fist item gives me an error. Just was told, that the setup could not complete (would be nice, if there would be more info on the error.) Next thing was checking the log files. in the log file %temp%\dd_error_vs_vstscore_90.txt you get the first hint. A Hresult what the error was. bad thing is, that there's no defined source to look up, what that means. but the doku of the .net 3.0 framework tells you about this, that it's an "old" software installed, that needs to be uninstalled first. Second thing was, to identify the part. what software the setup was about to install. that was written in the first line.(here it was Microsoft Web Designer Tools) Second part, try ...Show All

• .NET Development XmlTextWriter - how to remove the Microsoft ResX Schema comment?

  This is probably a very simple question but I have not been able to find the answer to it, yet. I am reading an xml file with XmlTextReader into an XMLDocument, adding/removing what I need to, and then outputting this xmlDocument with an XMLTextWriter. My question to the group is this - how do I remove the " <!-- Microsoft ResX Schema Version 1.3 The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format that is mostly human readable.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Performance

  Hello, Is it any performance characteristics of using ADO.NET vNext and LINQ in cotrary with ordinary ADO.NET, database views or ADO.NET vNext without LINQ Thank you Hi, The Entity Framework and LINQ integration, just like any other higher-level abstraction, introduces certain amount of overhead to the system. So typically you can expect it to be somewhat slower than using the lower-level ADO.NET APIs directly (e.g. datareader). Given that productivity and expressivity gains, this trade-off typically works well. The August CTP did not include most of the performance work that we're planning to do to make sure performance is at an appropriate level. In future iterations we'll include more of the perform ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Screen layout for 360 games

  Dave made a blog entry yesterday pointing to another blog entry that should be a must-read for all of us considering doing 360 development. I know I had no idea about what he talks about. This article (free signup required) goes into far more detail than you probably ever wanted to know about the problems involved with displaying computer images on televisions. The situation today is nowhere near as bad as he describes, as the Xbox has a high quality video encoder that will use smart filtering to minimize the effects of fine horizontal detail on an interlaced display. Plus not so many people today are still using composite cables, and a lot have HDTV where most of these problems go away. Still good stuff to be aware of ...Show All

• Windows Forms Tab control not hilighting selected tab in yellow

• SQL Server Char Trim

  Hi, I imported records from text file using BCP, in one column I am seeing blank space in starting as well in end. I printed the ASCII code it turn out as 32. But when I tried to trim with LTRIM and RTRIM it didn't work. I tried to replace the character using REPLACE witn no avail. Please help. Thanks. Louis, I was surprised to see that your varcharValue included the trailing space. I thought VARCHAR columns removed trailing spaces. So then I went to study the references and found that it depends on ANSI_PADDING in the database. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175055.aspx The varchar data type is a variable-length data type. Values shorter than the size of the column are n ...Show All
