• Visual Studio Team System Parameters in Report Server

  Hello. everyone! I have this error when I run my report from the browser or from the report manager. An error has occurred during report processing. Query execution failed for data set 'DataSet6_generar'. For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors I already check in the local server machine, and apparently the error is because it doesn't identify the parameters that I defined in the ObjectDataSource of the reportviewer. this is the error of the reportserver on the local server machine: An error has occurred during report processing.

• .NET Development Execute Stored Procedure (and access output params) without a data table ?

  Hi all, I'm just getting my head around the .NET Framework in this area so apologies if this question is dumb. All examples in help and books relating to running a stored procedure seem to involve a database and the fill method. There must be numerous circumstances where you simply want to pass parameters into a stored procedure and let the database do the work, then access the output params. Can I define and run a stored procedure without a datatable OK - Thanks very much Jeff, much clearer. How are the output parameters accessed after the call Is this via the parameters array ...Show All

• Windows Forms how to connect to database from dataGridView

  I've been working on the C# windows application with connect to database using dataGridView. On the smart tag on dataGridView, click new connection and click second button for browse database.

• SQL Server Data Type

  Goodday Is there any way that I can save my data type as a hyperlink Thanks Rob No, there isn't. You need to store the link as a varchar or char field and the user interface need to know that the field needs to be rendered as a hyperlink. If needed, you could create a user defined T-SQL datatype which would be an alias for a varchar field. This can give the advantage that you can easily see the columns that need to be show as hyperlinks. Greetz, Geert Geert Verhoeven Consultant @ Ausy Belgium My Personal Blog ...Show All

• SQL Server Is it possible?

  Is it possible to execute an Rda.Pull statement like the following Rda.Pull ("User", "exec spUserList".......) instead of Rda.Pull( "User", "select * from user"....)

I want to display a message box / web page ... with further instructions instead of running the install for the 2.0 frameworkwork when it is not installed on the users machine. Is this possible Creating the webpage isn't the problem. Using setup.exe to display it is. I can't get rid of the setup.exe that is automatically generated when you set a prereq.

• Visual Studio Team System Custom Controls - anyone working with these?

  Firstly, does anyone else think it would be a good idea to have a forum devoted to TFS Custom Controls Secondly, I'm using Naren's excellent article on custom controls to start building an example, but the IWorkItemControl does not have the same interface as mentioned here (so the code sample does not build). He mentions an AfterUpdateDatasource event and there is no mention of the FlushToDatasource method. Has anyone else been building custom controls How have you implemented the FlushToDatasource method I'm afraid not - reinstalling SP1 did not update the required dlls, so I can't use the functionality. Do you know of anyone else who has this problem The details of my installation are posted abo ...Show All

• Visual C# What's the appropriate exception with an input string is empty

  I'm working on an API level component (logging) and I want to throw an exception if someone calls a logging method with an empty string (""). I nomally throw an ArgumentException with an appropriate message in this case, but I've began to wonder recently if ArgumentOutOfRangeException wouldn't be a more appropriate choice since the string length is 0 which for my use would not be an valid range. Any thoughts on this For application exceptions, I think you should create your own exception class that inherit from ApplicationException. I don't know if there's "official" guidance but it's my preference to be able to distinguish exceptions caused my application vs. other exceptions. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Binding DependencyProperty Confusion ...

  I am getting a little confused around the DependencyProperties. I have a Sequential Workflow, and in the workflow it'self I have created a DependencyProperty, with the ownerType of the workflow class. Then in my custom activities I want to be able to reference this, and change it as needed, so the next activity sees the updated property value. In order to bind to my Custom Activity, I would need a DependencyProperty on that activity, and presumably the ownerType, would be that activity In my desiger I could then bind the Workflow Property to my Activity Property, but at that point do I have a copy or is it the same object Will changing the values in my Activity reflect back in the workflow or do I have to do something else If I ...Show All

• Windows Forms VS-Like sliding window!

  Im trying to create a nice application.. and i want to add a sliding window to it.. just like the one in the VS 2005... when u enable the Auto-Hide proberty for the window it slides away .. and when the mouse hover it slides back in.. very cool and nice.. but i wonder .. is it a Panel ! or a Form or maybe somthing else ! or is there any specific control for this type of things! thank u. You can easily simulate this effect with a timer. Drop a tall, narrow panel control on your form and give it a dark background. Paste this code: public partial class Form1 : Form { private Timer mCool; private int mCoolDir; private int mPanelWidth; public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } private void Form1_Load(object sender, Event ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Overload?

D:\VB-C++ Projects\Elderly Help Tool\Elderly Help Tool\Form1.vb 23 9 Elderly Help Tool To expand a bit on Ahmed's answer... this error is occurring because you're trying to call a function with 0 arguments ("ShowBalloonTip()"), but there isn't a function with that name that takes no arguments. Overloading means defining multiple implementations of a method which have the same name and return the same type but take different parameters and have different internal code.

• Visual Studio Team System Unit tests not running in parallel on agents

  I have a fairly long-running unit test that I'm running on a test rig with 4 agents. The unit test is data-driven, with several users in a single database table that are each executed when I run the unit test outside of a load test. The load test I'm trying to run only runs this one unit test. I have configured the load test to run with a constant user count of 2 and all 4 agents are available. As each user in the database table is executed in any running instance of the unit test, it is marked as DONE, which means it won't be run again by another unit test. The basic idea here is that I have all these users that I want to run once in a load test and I don't care which instance of the load test runs them. I just need to push through en ...Show All
