• SQL Server Passing multi value parameters to CreateSubscription

  Hi folks, I am trying to create a SSRS subscription from an asp.net app. I collect the parameter values from the client and make the arrangements to send them to the CreateSubscription method. When the report has single value parameters, my code works perfectly. But if there is a report param with multiple values, I get the error System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Default value or value provided for the report parameter '<paramName>' is not a valid value My parameter is string type and supports multiple values. I am passing the following string as its Value: AVA,BEL,CAL,CAP,CCA,CEL,COC,COM,ECE,EDT,EMC,EMT,EPB,EPC,EPM,EPO,EPS,ETB,MET where each element separated by comma is a valid param value. Here’s t ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista StateMachineWorkflowInstance ASP.NET error

  I am attempting to use State Machine with ASP.NET. I am using StateMachineWorkflowInstance to get information about the active State when the ASP.NET page is initialized and again just before it renders. Placing CallExternalMethod activites in the Initialization activities causes me to get an exception when I try to get a StateMachineWorkflowInstance . Workflow with id "fea28637-6d1f-4244-a560-6f49084f3a53" not found in state persistence store. The error shows up when I handle an event in a State that then executes a SetState and the new State has an Initializer with a CallExternalMethod. From my 1st to my 2nd state this does not appear to be a problem, but from state 2 to state 3 it is not working and I get the except ...Show All

• Windows Forms TextBox validation

  Hello all, I can't seem to find an answer to this question, although there are many similar questions. I want to perform validation in a TextBox (on a Windows Form) which is bound to a DataTable. In my case the validation itself is simple. I can hook the event handler for the 'Validating' event, and I can determine if the text is valid or not. However, when I set the 'e.Cancel' property to true, the bound DataTable still gets a 'ColumnChanged' event. It seems that setting the Cancel property to true doesn't really cancel anything. How can I prevent invalid TextBox entries from getting to the bound DataTable Thanks, Ken Well, due to timeline I just performed validation differently. I ...Show All

• Windows Forms Resizing Forms & COntrols

  Can someone tell me which forum to post this to please..... I'm just starting to rewrite an existing system in VB.net 2005. It was originally created in VB3 ! - for 640 x 480 monitors, and very fixed in format. I want to create the individual Windows forms so that they can still be used at this resolution (as we have existing clients with old kit) - but won't others to be able to size to as large as they want - but retain the look of the form - ie resize everthying on the form in proportion to the window. Just resizing the form tends to leave big gaps and makes the whole thing ugly. Better still would be to create the new ones in 1024 x nnn and allow them to resize smaller - keeping everything there but at a smaller font. Any help ...Show All

  Hello, I want to create an object which can be parametrized by any function, and can run this function in another thread, like: AsyncCalculation<int> = new AsyncCalculation<int>( ..here is a function ..); I cannot use specific delegate because it is up do developer to decide which function with which parameters he/she wants to use.
