• SQL Server Job Execution Failed - Need security guidance

  I am trying to install the sample execution log reports provided with SSRS. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms161561.aspx I follow the above steps on my local development machine and everything works correctly.

• Windows Forms GUI problem

  I have a problem I don't know how to solve: There are two controls on my form, lets assume two TextBoxes. The Leave event of the first TextBox disposes the other one - so if the focus is on the first TextBox and there is a mouse pressed on the second one - there is an exception because the second one is disposed and can't get the focuse. I know it is weird but I need it. Help anyone Thanks The leave event from the 1st txtBox will cause the 2nd txtBox to dispose on whataver else you click on the form. So it is impossible for the user to use the 2nd txtBox no matter what as soon as you loose the focus from txtBox1. Maybe you mean to have the 1st txtBox to be disposed when the user gets focus of the 2nd txtBox wich would kinda ...Show All

• Visual Basic IDE not responding to keyboard

  Hi Folks; Infrequently my code editor in the IDE quits responding to keyboard entries. This seems to happen after building a project more than a couple of times without running. What's happenning is I will attempt to make a code entry, but after the first character entered -- type of character doesn't seem to matter -- Intellesense will add a parenthisis and add its interpretation of what should follow. Then, if I try to backspace out of the parenthisis, the cursor simply jumps forward and reapplies the characters it wants. Doesn't seem to matter if I mouse over and cut or delete the characters; any attempt to make an entry results in this behavior. I cannot add any code on the form when this is occuring, and requires that I compl ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to Disable Autosave?

  Hi all, Does anyone know how to disable VB autosave I like to open a working solution/project, mess around with it, and if I cant get it working, I like to exit without saving so that the original working version is left.
