• SQL Server Can't run Business Intelligence Development Studio

  All, I've installed SQL Express with advanced services and the BIDS software from the SQL Toolkit using the vs_setup.msi extracted from the toolkit installer (Why not include it in the advanced services ). Now I'm trying to start BIDS and am asked to log into the Report Server. I use my username and password for ASPNET. The login fails saying that the web application is not available on the web server and to look in the application event log for more information. There are a bunch of errors listed (and more every 30 seconds are so). The error message is: aspnet_wp.exe could not be launched because the username and/or password supplied in the processModel section of the config file are invalid. Also, when I start Visual Web D ...Show All

• .NET Development sent byte array shifted

  hi, I have a case whereby when i try to send an byte[], the receiver receive it as its has been shifted. When i tried to debug: sender byte[] before socket.BeginSend() consist of: [1] 60 [2] 63 [3] 120 [4] 109 [5] 108 32 [7] 118 101 ... receiver byte[] after socket.Receive() consist of: [1] 0 [2] 0 [3] 0 [4] 0 [5] 60 63 [7] 120 109 ... The size of the byte[] is sent beforehead, and both sender and receiver has same number. The filestream is created afterwards, and the receiver file has 4 spaces at the front file and 4 character truncated at the rear of the file as it follows the size of the byte[]. What is exactly happening... Anyone can solve my problem Thanks in advance Your problem is sender: byte [] fSiz ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions datetime trouble

  Hi! I'm using VB.NET 2005 Express Edition under Windows XP. In a clean project I write: Dim myDate As Date myData = CDate("12.05") myData = System.DateTime.Parse("12.05") both instructions return the exception: "Index was outside the bounds of the array."

• Visual C++ Using WinForms with /clr assemblies

  In filing a bug report with Microsoft which involved an assembly compiled with /clr, and a CodeDom Parser internal error in the IDE Designer, I was told that "all assemblies that are referenced by a C++ WinForm must be built with either /clr:safe or /clr:pure." Is this actually true I could find nothing in the MSDN documentation which came with my Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition which specified this. If this is somewhere, could someone please point it out to me in the MSDN documentation. If this is actually true, why have a plain /clr mode at all, since no components in such an assembly can be used in a WinForm Holger Grund wrote: > "all assemblies that are referenced by a C++ WinForm ...Show All

• .NET Development Run a process with admin rights

  hi everybody. I have a problem to launch a process with admin rights. The application has to work under Windows Vista (I developp under the last CTP). The account running my application is an admin account and the process I need to launch is "bcdedit.exe". When I run my application, bcdedit (launched by my app) says that it doesn't have enough rights to work correctly. If I run my application by doing right button on it > run as administrator..., the process works correctly but it's not a solution for me. I would like to know if I could run a process specifing rights admin or a windows identity with admin rights. thanks per advance thanks...but no because it asks me the password of the accoun ...Show All

• Windows Forms Default Date - Outlook,Calendar,Look,Feel

  I can not Figure out how to set the default date to Today in the Day View. It keeps coming up as July 21. Any one see this and know where in the code to change. Thanks Quick and easy fix although your monthly calendar view will no longer crunch the weekends. Right Click a day on the calendar Choose other options Uncheck Compress weekend days Follow this link for a detailed explanation of the problem.

• SQL Server SYSAdmin users do not have permission to see records in a view?

  We have a third party application and wish to create a report based upon a view. The strange thing is logged in to the server as a SQL SYSAdmin account, we cannot view the data via the view. SQL Admin accounts are setup correctly and there is nothing different on this particular server. No errors are returned just a blank view with no records. Could this be a permissions problem or orphaned schemas in that particular database I thought SYSAdmin could view and do just about anything and the people who use this particular database would not have the know how on denying permission to the SYSAdmin role.
