• SQL Server Using Back Button in PrintLayout mode causes crash

  I'm using a number of drill-through reports, which are working great. However, if I have drilled through to another report (enabling the back button) and then go into print layout mode, and click the back button while in print layout mode, the report viewer becomes completely unresponsive. It's easy enough for me to simply not push the button, but if users encounter this error they'll have no choice but to end-task (crashing the viewer and the application that called it), which could result in loss of unsaved data. Has anyone else run into this problem/discovered a fix for it Thank you, Jeff On further searching for a fix for this issue, I turned up two other threads that seem to be exactly th ...Show All

• SQL Server About @@ERROR in SQL 2005 online book

  Here http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190193.aspx it is explained that @@ERROR will be cleared and reset. But here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190248.aspx http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187009.aspx we still see: IF (@@ERROR <> 0) SET @ErrorSave = @@ERROR Chester Is there a question here I assume you are asking if @@Error is reset during the IF statement. If you read the first link, it says NO. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190193.aspx @@Error is reset by the next TSQL command. IF is a conditional statement and does not reset the flag. ...Show All

• SQL Server How do you hide items in the Report Explorer Web Part?

  Does anyone know if it is possible to hide a report in the report explorer web part in sharepoint. I have a report that can't be run by itself.

• SQL Server Using customly created RDLC Files - Please help with this

  Hello, Could someone please help me on this, I desperately need an answer, thanks :) The current situation is as follows: I have an application that generates reports. These reports are built into the system. So they compile with the system into the exe. Amongst these reports are sub reports. Now I would like to create a custom report during runtime, manually, from scratch, using an XmlTextWriter. This I've acheived. However, I would like to access the built in reports as subreports from this customly created report. I've tried various solutions, but it seems that the customly created report needs to be in the same directory as the subreports. I've looked at various threads, and websites for this but there isn't a clear solution anywhere. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Combobox in DataGridView Cell problem

  Hi all, I hope this is a simple problem that someone can help with. I have a windows application with a DataGridView. The last three columns of this grid contain combo boxes in each cell linking to three different lookup tables on our SQL server. When a useris using the application and they select one of the options from the drop down list it displays no problem, they can then click a button to save changes. The problem lies if the user makes a mistake with the drop down choice. If i want to leave the field as a null value there is no way they can delete the choice in the combobox. To try and get round this i created a null entry in the lookup database but this created a different problem. With this in place when a user selects the values ...Show All
