• Visual Studio Overriding custom attribute in a derived class

  In my model, i use the base class "NamedElement" which defines the Name property for all other classes.

How can i override this attribut Can you explain the use of DomainTypeDescriptor Thank you, Thank you Gareth, I had seen this but i hoped a more simplest solution.

• Visual Studio textchanged event on texteditor

  How can I intercept the event triggered by the texteditor/textbuffer's text changing The VSPackage I'm working on is similar to the SynchronousXmlDesigner sample. If the user changes the xml from the codeview I want to know about it! Implement IVsTextLinesEvents interface which includes a method called: OnChangeLineText This method will be called whenever the text on any line changes. Once you implement this interface you jsut need to hook up the class that implements this interface with your text buffer doing somethign like this: IConnectionPointContainer connptCntr = (IConnectionPointContainer)vsTextLines; Guid riid = typeof(IVsTextLinesEvents).GUID; IConnectionPoint cp; connptCntr.FindConnectio ...Show All

• .NET Development User credentials delegation from IIS on WinXP to SQL Server on Win2003SRV fails

  Problem: I am trying to create an asp.net website with integrated windows authentication to access SQL databases. IIS resides on WinXP and SQL Server on Win2000 SRV. Both are in the same NT Domain. IIS and SQL Server cannot reside on the same machine and a stand alone web server is ideal as the website needs to access multiple SQL Servers. IIS is set to Integrated Windows Authentication. The anonymous access in IIS settings is unchecked. The web.config file has Identity element set for impersonation <identity impersonation="true"> The machine running IIS & the SQL Server are set to be "trusted for delegation" in active directory. The domain user accounts that will be accessing the databases are not marked a ...Show All

• SQL Server Deploying Reports from Development to (Remote) Production Machines

  After intial development of some reports on my notebook I will need to deploy them to a production machine remote from my office. In other words I will will not be able to directly from the BI (aka VS) Studio on my notebook. I had thought that I might be able to simply send the RDL files to the remote site and instruct them to create data sources with the same name (and in the same folders) on the local ReportServer (not the BI Studio) then use the "Upload File" option to upload the RDL files. I have tried this once so far, without success. The next alternative that I can think of to copy the entire set BI Studio project files to the production server (which should have the BI Studio installed) and deploy normally from ther ...Show All

• Visual Basic Embedded Resource?

  Hi, I am trying to create a file that is seperate from the EXE file. The application I am making has a typical login form. The usernames and passwords are stored in a database file. Instead of coding the validation of the user into the EXE, I want the code to be in it's own file. I would like to access this file from my application. At this moment I figure that the validation code should be created as a module. The module should be built as an Embedded Resource. First question is; is this the best method to do this, meaning would a module be the best approach I want the file seperate because I want the ability to change the validation coding at anytime without having to recompile the EXE file. Logic dictates creating the validatio ...Show All
