• SQL Server Error creating Subscription to reports

  Hi all,   I am having a HUGE issue with SSRS, I am running SQL 2005 on Win 2003 server, the SQL uses SQL and windows permissions. I have a datasource which stores it credentials securely on the server but for some reason when i try to subscribe to the report it errors saying "Subscriptions cannot be created because the credentials used to run the report are not stored, or if a linked server the link is no longer valid." Beats me but the credentials are stored, I am  connecting using a user account which can run the report fine (This is proven). I have SP1 installed, and have literally tried every last option in the book.   N.B i have read all the existing post about this and i seem to have a different ...Show All

• .NET Development problem using app.config codeBase element with private assemblies

  I hope someone has some suggestions to my problem because I seem to have gone through all options. My problem is with an app.config codeBase and assemblyIdentity section. According to the latest MSDN docs, you can use the assemblyIdentity and codeBase elements to locate a PRIVATE assembly outside the root application directory. I have been able to make this work only by strongly naming the assembly and providing a fully-qualified href along with version on the codeBase element. I would like to do the following: <assemblyIdentity name="WCFServiceLibrary" /> <codeBase href=" file:///../WCFServiceLibrary.dll " /> The MSDN docs say I should be able to do the above. Only the name attribute of the ass ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Help is empty (i.e. Document Explorer)

  Other than the general help (i.e. Help on Help), I can't get help on anything else when I press F1 from Orcas. Basically the 'Filtered By' listbox is empty other than the default '(No Filter)' option. Probably some sort of setup issue but hopefully this will be fixed in a later CTP. Chris ...Show All

• Windows Forms Which event is fired each time a node is added in a treeview?

  I have a treeview with nodes loaded dynamically I have designed a class which needs to be notified each time a node is added in this treeView, but I don't find it which event this class should subscribe This event should exist since, each time a node is added, the treeview is updated, no Why don't you just put your code for adding TreeNodes in a separate method that contains your additional code, and then always call this method when you want to add a new TreeNode Tony ...Show All

• Visual Studio Configure Sandcastle to use local MSDN Documentation

  Hi, will it be possible in the future to configure sandcastle to use the locally installed msdn library (for HxS help files) Our developmentmachines do not have internet access. thanks ralf The problem is that you can choose between none - Results in text with no active link local - Results in links within project using <a href> tag index - ms-help style links for HxS msdn - links to Framework topics in MSDN and local is just *within project* and the desired would be something like "local msdn" where "links to Framework topics" should resolve to the *locally installed* MSDN installed instead of online MSDN, so it is usable *without* network connectivity ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Treeview and Imagelist Problem

  I am trying to use a treeview and imagelist. I added 3 images to the imagelist. I have set the treeview's imagelist property to the imagelist I added to the form. Here is some sample code for when I programmatically add nodes to the treeview. nd = TreeView1.TopNode.Nodes.Add("", reader.ReadString, 0) Then I tried: nd.SelectedImageIndex = 1 I keep getting the following error, and it never points to the offending line of code. "An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Index was outside the bounds of the array." Nope. This isn't working either. This one completely stumps me. I've researched it and I have done everything right. Can some ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista IMAPIv2 using Visual Studio 2003

  Is it possible to build IMAPIv2 clients using Visual Studio 2003 To a degree, I guess this is the same as asking whether the Vista version of the platform sdk is usable from Visual Studio 2003. I encounter problems almost immediately, when trying to just #include <atlBase.h> (WinSock2.h related errors which tells me I am quickly going onto a path that I do not want to chase down :-) ) The platform selection is not under my control (I would rather be on VS2005 anyway) - but they need to do some media creation on Vista. If this is not officially supported - is there anyone out there doing it anyway TIA Hi foobarX, We very rarely use Visual Studio interna ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Listbox items filtered by textbox onchange

  i have a textbox and listbox on a form. The listbox is bound to items from a database. When the user begins to type in the textbox I'd like the listbox items to be filtered onchange as he types. So according to what is being typed the items listbox will lessen according to what matches what is being typed. *This is not an autocomplete function.* Can someone please point me to some sample code to be able to achieve this Thanks ! Yep, it seems to be that using a Listbox or a Listview is not ideal for this. I have tried several things already and none do anything different than what nobugz posts. The bit with the ComboBox that I posted was the best solution for me with a project I have been working on and ...Show All

• Windows Forms Displaying Database information in ListView

  I created an address like database with first and last names and include a photo location in the database. Now I want to use ListView to display the photo and name of each row(person) in my database, but I don't know how to retrieve a string from a single cell in my database. can anyone help ok you are using VB.NET so.... Me.ListView1.DataBinding.Add(ListView1, Firstdatabasedataset.Tables(0), "FirstName") I still think this will not work, due to the first parameter - it expect a string property name, not an object. However at this stage I am unsure what the parameter should be. The other alternative is the way I had suggested earlier - go through each row and get the current row columns' cell value ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) TextFormatter from TextBox to TextBox???

  I have been working on a TextFormatter from the SDK Example, but its using a TextBox to a object (Rectangle) using DrawingContext (System.Windows.Media.DrawingContext)...  I'm woundering can i use the TextFormatter from TextBox to TextBox applying Bold,Italic,Text Colors,Underlining etc from textbox to textbox..One of my books talks about Spans " SuperScripts" for FlowDocuments using a TextBlock.

• Visual C# Event tab not seen

  Hello, I start work with Visual Basic .NET (Visual Studio 2003). My OS is Windows XP. The problem is that I have started new form design then looking on Properties window do not see Event tab, why How can I display it In help is written it should be there! Thank you. Yuri, Visual Basic .NET 2003 doesn't support setting the events through the lightening bolt on the properties window. Instead, it makes use of the VB 6 model of creating the events via the NavBar dropdown (the dropdown that appears at the top of the .VB file). For example, if you drag a button onto the form and then switch to the code view using F7, then you can select the button in the left hand combobox and select the event that you want to handle using t ...Show All

• Windows Forms Slow User Defined Control

  I'm creating a custom control that has contained within it a large number of buttons. The code is extremely slow (taking about 12 seconds to display). I've had no success in making it faster. The problem seems to be centered around a single statement: Controls.Add(my_button_ctl); I tried to use the Controls.AddRange(...) member instead of Add(), but there was no speed improvement as was implied in the documentation. If I remove the Controls.Add() call (or AddRange), the display is almost instant. Is anyone aware of a way to speed up a user defined control that contains a large number of button controls In my case there are up-to 550 buttons contained on the control and I would like to get them displayed in under 1 second.
