• SQL Server Reporting Services Questions

  . By using Report builder, I am selecting (by dragging fields) on report. While dragging first field, Report Builder > explorer is showing only directly dependant entities and its attributes . Here, I am not able to select attributes from Report Builder > explorer which are not dependant on other entities because explorer is not showing other entities . While dragging first attributes from one entity, explorer is not showing entities which are not depend on my first selected entities . How can I get other attributes available which is not relevant to my first selected attributes ->> For your report to make sense , you have to have a path between the entities in your report.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) SOAP authentication failed

  Hi, I have browsed this forum, and I found similar question, but none of the solutions have worked for me, so maybe I am doing something silly. However, let me try to describe what I am doing (I am fairly new to wcf programming). I managed to reproduce this same problem with the selfhost application (an example on the SDK, with the ICalculator). The problem manifests itself only when the client and the service aren't running in the same domain. If they are in the same domain (on different machines), everything runs fine. If I try to run the service inside a specific domain, and the client outside (say, just logged in locally into the machine), I get the following: An unhandled exception of type 'System.ServiceModel.Security.Sec ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to pass parameters from Team Build to the command line of build events for a project

  I have a project with post build event that runs an executable passing some parameters. Is there a way to pass these parameters from the TFSBuild.proj file. Thanks, Ramesh Aaron Hallberg wrote: You can either do this declaratively or via the command-line. To do it declaratively, you would want to edit the TfsBuild.proj file associated with your build type and add a property to a property group. Something like: <PropertyGroup> <FxCopDir>C:\MyCustomDirectory\</FxCopDir> </PropertyGroup> To do it via the command-line, you would want to edit the TfsBuild.rsp file associated with your build type and add a /p command-line option.

• Software Development for Windows Vista WMI and Win32_DeviceChangeEvent

  Apologies in advance if this is the wrong forum to post on. If so, then please direct me to a better one. I'm having difficulty getting notification for the WMI event Win32_DeviceChangeEvent. Using the TempConsumer sample in the latest Windows SDK (Samples\SysMgmt\WMI\VC\TempConsumer), I modified two lines of code to be able to subscribe to the Win32_DeviceChangeEvent Line 169 changed from CBSTR Query(L "select * from MyEvent" ); to CBSTR Query(L "select * from Win32_DeviceChangeEvent" ); and line 239 from CBSTR(L \\\\.\\ROOT\\DEFAULT ), to CBSTR(L "\\\\.\\ROOT\\CIMV2" ), Compile the sample and run in Windows XP, then went to Device Manager and picked a device (in my cas ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Command line parameters for .NET v2 installation, and SQL CE 3 installation

  Two questions in one really.... I need to control the installation of these components with zero interaction from the device owner - they will just drop it in a cradle and I will programatically do the rest. I can use RAPI to interact with the device, but all the CAB's I use seem to install ask for installation area and then give an end prompt when finished. Are there any command line options I can use when the CAB's are run via CreateProcess or CeCreateProcess to default any options the user may have had to make and remove the end screen - essentialy I need to make silent installations If there are no command line options, then are there ini files or equivalents than can be used in this way Can I also control the device reset ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Problems opening new project

  Hi all, just downloaded XNA beta. I keep getting an error when trying to create a new project. It doesn't matter if I choose empty project, windows game or spacewar, I keep getting this error (translated from the dutch error message): the syntaxis of the filename, foldername or volumename is incorrect. (Exception from HResult: 0x8007007B) Any ideas I checked my folder settings, but they seem to be in order (existing folders...). Kind of a bummer, since I can't do anything until I get this fixed. thnx in advance Hi, just found the answer to my own question: this is a known problem using C#.

• SQL Server Setting up publication for merge replication using Stored Procedures

  Hello.I am trying to use Transact SQL to prepare publication for replication (SQL Server 2000 SP4 and SQL Mobile). I can easily create publication, add filters etc. but there is one thing which I can't find : parameter which tells me subscriber type and allow me to change subscriber type for publication. I don't know where I can change (or even if I can change) this property. If someone made publication for mobile devices and replication with filters,resolvers etc. will it be a problem to share experiences here Maybe some sample code with script or something what will guide me. Thanks in advance. Maciej Wysocki I'd suggest creating the publication using SQL Management Studio, verify that it works as you w ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Creating a folder structure that allows easy merging?

  I have read several blogs and posts here as well but have not been able to get a clear idea of a branching structure to create that will allow merging without any problems (no baseless merging). Here is the sample folder structure that I would use: $/Main/Release $/Main/Release/v1 $/Main/Release/v2 $/Main/QA $/Main/QA/v1 $/Main/QA/v2 $/Main/Src I want to have one codeline per major release in both QA and Release - hence the v1, v2 etc. Dev work would be performed under Main/Src - for ALL releases. Selected builds (labels) would be promoted to QA, and from there to Release. Any bug fixes would be performed on the Release/vXX branch, with the changes being merged back to QA, and Src.
