• .NET Development XSLT problems with "cdata-section-elements" and "omit-xml-declaration"

  Hi All, Sorry, this is cross posted from the SQL server reporting services forum here: I'm using some xslt documents to transform the xml output of my reports in sql server 2005 reporting services, but have come across two curiosities where the xslt filter seems to behave unusually. Firstly, I need the final saved file to have an xml declaration, which I believe it should do by default. Even if I put omit-xml-declaration="no" in the xsl:output tag I don't get an xml declaration. At present we have a custom job that writes these declarations back into the xml after SRS has saved it. Secondly and more importantly, I need to have some of my output tags wrapped in CDATA sections. I've tried using the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Moving a label at runtime

  I need to be able to graphically position a label in realtime. I'm looking for a way to link the x and y values of the label object to the current_mouse.x and current_mouse.y pointer values based on a mousedown event, and have the label drag with the mouse cursor. Thanks in advance. Thank you Christian, that's the ticket! I'm used to trying to code things under the Access version of VB, and you can't handle mouse positions as directly as this. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Schema Compare Script Bug?

  After using DBPro to schema compare two databases, part of the script it generated was as follows: PRINT N 'Dropping symmetric keys' GO DROP SYMMETRIC KEY [##MS_DatabaseMasterKey##] GO However, when I attempt to execute this script on the target database, I get the following error: Msg 15316, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Global temporary keys are not allowed. You can only use local temporary keys. Is this a bug in the script generation. If not, how do I deal with this error Thanks - Amos. *** ---FYI opened a new thread on this 11/15/07 "Master Key deploy script error" *** We appear to still be having an issue with this. The generated script is as follows (generated by reb ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual Basic windows forms

  Hey, I've only started using Visual Basic tonight, and I've never touched any previous form of VB and/or Visual Studio. So this is probably the newbie-ist question you've seen for a few years if not ever. Anyway, I've got a task set out whereby I must create a testing program as such, with multiple choices. I've created a form for every question, along with a welcome form and a grade form. My question is simply, how do you link the forms, so that a user can click the button labelled "Continue1" and it opens up form2, within the same space and so on and so forth. Any help would be more than gratefully received. Thanks! well to do this, firstly on each form set the Startup Position of ...Show All

• SQL Server re-establishing mirror

  When witness and mirror were down, mirroring was removed at primary. Now when I try to re-establish mirroring I get the following error Msg 1456, Level 16, State 3, Line 1 The ALTER DATABASE command could not be sent to the remote server instance 'TCP://witness:5022'. The database mirroring configuration was not changed. Verify that the server is connected, and try again. On the witness server the following sql select * from sys.database_mirroring_witnesses returns 1 row with the previous mirroring information. How do I remove old information from witness server Thanks. OK, so I'm sorry you had so much trouble with mirroring. The witness should have been able to be used as is with ...Show All

• SQL Server Report's Parameter : From Date to Date

  I want to add 2 parameters in my report to delimit a date range. The report is based on Analysis Services 2005 and I have created a Time Dimension. What is the best way to do this I would prefer to use a Datetime parameter type because of the calendar component, but then I don't succeed to associate this parameter with the Time Dimension in the filter expression... You can't really use a datetime parameter (at least not using the built-in prompting) as AS dates are members of a dimension, not scalars. And you aren't really guaranteed that the range between two members will give you what you want. We could add a feature at some point to convert them but that doesn't exist now. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Need XPS help anyone!

  For the last few days I have been reading everything I can about XPS and merging documents and I am stuck. I have seen the Document merger sample but it really doesn't help especially with all the windows stuff wrapped around it I am just seeking a simple straight forward sample on how to do this. I found this and tried to modify it every way I can but the problem is that the original page for example is in Landscape mode but every time I save it as a new page it put it to portrait mode even though the width and height of the fixed page are correct and the new page variables are correct also. But when I open the new document in the viewer it clips the right side. If they are all portrait then I have no problems at all. How on earth do you ...Show All

• .NET Development Cant Insert rows with int identity using typed datasets

  Hi: I'm trying to use a .NET 2.0 typed dataset for inserting rows. The table (Queues) contains both an int identity and a datetime with a default value of getdate(). I can't use the Insert method that is automatically generated. It wants an int for the identity field. it won't accept DBNull.Value. The datetime wants a datetime and won't accept a null either. So I'm coding my own insert and I have similar issues. I get an error on update because of my null values: Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'Queues' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF. The code is below. Has anyone found a workaround Thanks, Terry Here's the code: QueuesTableAdapter qta = new QueuesTableAdapter (); QueuesDataSet qu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Icons for controls in form designer toolbox: registry corruption?

  Hi all, Just wondering if anyone else has encountered the same problem and if so, how best to report the bug. The problem is that the icons for the controls listed in my toolbox - from BackgroundWorker to FontDialog inclusive - share the same icon! I think it's actually the FontDialog icon. I don't remember when the problem first appeared, but I know that everything was OK when Visual Studio was newly installed. Perhaps a registry checking app could be the cause because I've had the same problem on several machines. Thanks in advance, Simon The toolbox has several nasty problems. Check this thread for a way to reset it. ...Show All
