• SQL Server events raised by the report server when report is saved

  there is possible how my scenario is: What I want is to be able to "catch" the event where the user saves or closes the report into the Report Builder, so that I can create the related class, and it has to be right when it happens, it can’t be later. It would also be useful if the event could identify the name and path of the report I just created. I am sorry if I am not able to be a little more clear regarding this subject, but I hope you understand what I want, and if there is no way to do it just let me know either way. Thanks for your help gerard ...Show All

• .NET Development System.Timers.Timer high resolution problem (C#)

  I want to use System.Timers.Timer in my project as a metronom with the resolution of approx. 1ms interval value. When i tried, it works fine up to 10ms, but below that value, it doesn't work. in my sample application, i am using a count value which increases every tick and when the count reaches the value of 100, i invoke a function which updates the label1. When i use the interval as 10, label1 updates every 1 second as expected but when i reduce the interval value, the time for updating the label1 doesn't decrease. For example, when i set interval to 1ms, it still takes 1 second to update label1. Does System.Timers.Timer allows interval below 10 Or is there any timer which does this in .NET framework PS: I didnt set the Syncroni ...Show All

  I've got an ftp task that will be downloading a couple of files each night. today they're called blah20060830blah the date value in the middle changes each day.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) wpf and asp.net

  Hi, Can anybody tell me about the future of asp.net with wpf around the corner Will wpf be a replacement of asp.net or do you see cases in which you'd prefer asp.net x wpf If so, can you give examples. Thanks, Sergio Sergio, We are still investigating next version plans. However, this is an area we are investigating and feedback like this is helpful. Today, the best way to integrate WPF with a server-side component is using web services. There is no supported way of integrating with ASP.Net provider services at this point.

• Windows Forms Windows Form Designer and the 'Do not modify... warning

  I'm not sure how--but I've managed to add some controls such as buttons, combo boxes, and others to my project in VB Express that are not visible. I don't mean hidden like control.hidden = true but hidden on the form. I think they are hidden behind other controls that I have on my form. I can see the drop down events of these hidden controls which have no code associated with them. When I view the code in the partial class generated by the Windows Forms Designer I can see the referece to them like: Me .MaskedTextBox2 = New System.Windows.Forms.MaskedTextBox Me .ListBox1 = New System.Windows.Forms.ListBox Me .MaskedTextBox1 = New System.Windows.Forms.MaskedTextBox Me .ComboBox2 = New System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox ...Show All
