• SQL Server Incomplete Print output from ReportViewer Control

  We are experiencing a problem where a server report is rendered in the ReportViewer control successfully but when the user chooses to print the content, the print output is incomplete (ex. only 18 of 23 pages are printed, etc.). This is happening consistently and has been reproduced for multiple different reports. It does not happen if the same report is printed via the Report Manager web interface. I have also found that if I switch to Print Layout mode and then initiate the print from the ReportViewer that the problem does not occur. This is our current workaround, but it would be nice to know what is causing this and have it fixed. Has anybody else seen this Is this a known issue with my current version (SQLR ...Show All

• SQL Server SSRS and Teradata

  Is anyone out there using SSRS with a Teradata data source R Ron, A couple of things. First off, thanks for the dynamic string. The above code does work for me in VS Designer when I select the 'All' option. Are you running SQL Server SP2 like I am Second, I talked to some of the MS folks at Tech Ed earlier this year. The execute immediately is by design. At that time they recommended we create our own website that wraps the report viewer instead of the default report manager. We were not thrilled with that answer. In short, you are out of luck. Have you run into any other issues with respect to access TD from MSRS I seem to be a few steps behind you which is making my life a little easier ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. I’m in desperate need of direction...

  I know you guys are probably overrun with these kinds of threads, and I apologize for making another one. I did my best to look around and get as much info from the other threads as I could, but really I need a personalized response to figure out what I should do. I’m 17 and am currently replying in the process of applying to my local college (game design and development), but stupid me forgot that they want a portfolio for classes like this (windows applications, small games, ect ect). And I have about 2 or 3 months to figure this all out before my portfolio is due. So far I’ve downloaded XNA game studio express, Microsoft Visual C# 2005 express, and the 30 day trial for the Torque game builder. I’m completely new to this and totally lost ...Show All

• .NET Development Looking for information on IO Completion Port model based on UDP and not TCP

  Dear All, I am writing a RADIUS network application that uses UDP transport protocol by using native C++ (win32) with microsoft Visla C++ 2005 express edition. I have chosen the IO Completion Port Model to implement this network application because I am expecting more that 64 requests with a length data processing for each request at a single time. However, I have gone through many examples on IO Completion Port model but unfortunately all of them talk about TCP protocol and I did not found a single example on how to implement this model with UDP. This application has to listen to two ports at the same time; port 1812 for radius and port 1813 for accounting, which means that I need to creat two listening sockets in my application ...Show All

• Visual Studio Report Viewer Redistributable

  I’m using the Report Viewer Control in a windows forms application. There where some bugfixes that came with the SP1 of SQL-server 2005 that doesen't seem to have been fixed in the Report Viewer redistributables. Does anybody know if this is the case, and if there is a new Report Viewer redistributables package Any help is greatly appreciated. Regards The report viewer controls are part of Visual Studio, not SQL Server, so they won't be updated by a SQL Server service pack. But most of the issues seen in the viewer built in to SQL Server are fixed in the viewer control as part of Visual Studio SP1. Information on that release is available here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa718 ...Show All

• Community Chat SaveProjectAs

  Ok...After hearing some complaints on this these boards about not having a "Project Save As" that saves the entire project to a new destination and name...I created this addin for VS05 that does just that. The addin creates a 'Save Project As' menu item off of the file menu and allows the user to select a VB or C# project file and then select a new destination directory and a new name for the project. All standard dialogs used. you can download the xcopy deployment files from: http://codegallery.gotdotnet.com/SaveProjectAs The zip file contains two files: SaveProjectAs.AddIn and SaveProjectAs.dll and all you have to do to get it to work is to unzip the files into your addin directory...

• Windows Live Developer Forums scopingBar_separator undefined?

  I'm getting a JS error: 'scopingBar_separator' is undefined ...when loading a map that adds a collection from local.live.com. Works in FireFox, but not in Internet Explorer. Was working and then stopped spontaneously, no code changes. Page can be viewed here: http://www.downtownwilmington.com/Nightlife I've tried it on a couple machines, emptied browser cache, etc... Any ideas My concern is that it is a problem with the VE control, not my code. The reason being is that it was working and spontaneously stopped plus it works fine in FireFox. Having said that, I have disabled a few things including the other DHTML menus on that page, etc... but nothing seems to work. Are there any recent changes (other than th ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Authentication.

  Hi all, I need few clarfications / suggestions from this forum. 1. Which is the recommended authentication for web application using SQL Server 2005 database 2. In what aspects SQL authentication was strengthened in SQL Server 2005 3. Is the strengthening of SQL authentication in SQL Server 2005 makes it better over windows authentication Thanks in advance. DBAnalyst Hello - 1. There are a lot of ways to do this, depending on where you want to manage the client security. Many applications today use a middle tier, so you'll distribute the calls based on either impersonation or as the calling client. Other apps use a single login for all clients, and do their own security checks. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Can we have private constructor? when can I use them?

  i thin you can!!! This is used to mange the number of instances of the object the users can create.This is also known as the Singleton pattern . In singleton pattern you declare the constructor as private and instantiate it from a static method within you class. Please see the example below: public sealed class MySingleton { static MySingleton instance = null; private MySingleton() { } public static MySingleton ClassInstance() { get { if (instance = = null) { instance = new MySingleton(); } return instance; } } } Yeah, of course. But the correct way to write the accessor is public sealed class MySingleton { static MySingleton instance = null; private MySingleton() { } public static MySingleton ClassInstance ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA - Microsoft lack of vision

  Its real sad that Microsoft, once again, shows this lack of vision for a games development tool: 1: Get visual: Don't force users to write such a lot of code to do just very little. It reminds the Charles Petzold's "Hello Window" hell of code days. 2: Provide visual tools: Let users choose the components, change their properties and write just the required code for the events. 3: Quick development means quick prototype and minimum learning curve. XNA has a lot of things to learn. Definetively it is NOT for students and hobbists. We will have to wait until someone encapsulates XNA framework into a group of visual components, that can be easily drag & dropped, inspected and tested very easily without having to learn lots of n ...Show All
