• Visual Studio Adding fields to report at runtime

  Im setting the datasource of my report to a datatable, which is fine. The problem i am having is that i dont know how many columns there is in the datatable until runtime. I need to be able to add database fields to the report at runtime. In addition i need to be able to format the field based upon its value and the state of the previous field. This report show the availability of a room over a given period. Many thanks Jay Using the standard .NET SDK you do not have the ability to add fields at runtime, you need to use the RAS SDK which is only available if you have Crystal Enterprise, Crystal Reports Server, or Business Objects Enterprise. As for formatting fields based upon thei ...Show All

• Visual C++ PrintTo command in the ShellExecute

  Hello, I'm trying to use the ShellExecute API to print an HTML file to a specified printer passing the "printto" as the command verb. My default Internet Explorer is IE 7.0 Beta (I tried this also on IE 6), the problem that also I use the PrintTo verb and I pass the printer name to the ShellExecute, the Print Dialog of the IE. Is this a bug in IE Please give me a hand. Your question is actually off-topic as this forum relates to C++ language issues.

• Visual Basic Redistribution

  How does one redistribute PrintForm Are we limited to the provided installers Regards, - Mike Hi - Sorry I didn't realize this thread took a new direction on the EULA for print form. You can find the EULA in the install directory for the component, e.g. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Power Packs\PrintForm 1.0\Setup\EULA.rtf The other EULA you are pointing to above is for something else. We're still talking about license for PrintForm, right If yes, I think this is well written enough to understand the bottom line. Here is the first paragraph (I encourage you to still read it all): " Microsoft license to User for Use of the Toolkit This license governs ...Show All

• Visual C# Problems with function ?

  Hi There is a problem I am facing at the moment. I have a base class called A; I have 2 classes that inherits from it . B and C. I have a method with 3 overloads . 1 for A ,1 for B and 1 for C. public void DoSomeWork(A a){} .... On calling the method It goes to the proper one by its parameter. Now, My problem is that I am using a factory to get the proper Object for a specific case and I then assign it in an A object (base class). I then want to send it to the method and expects it to go to the proper one but it goes to the one with A no matter the type returned. I always get "in A1" //Base class A1 a2 = new A2 (); //Call the proper function DoSomeWork(a1); public void DoSomeWork( A1 a ...Show All

• .NET Development Run a process with admin rights

  hi everybody. I have a problem to launch a process with admin rights. The application has to work under Windows Vista (I developp under the last CTP). The account running my application is an admin account and the process I need to launch is "bcdedit.exe".

• Visual Basic How to import vCards?

  Hi all, I want to import vCards in my Vb.Net 2005 application. I tried this code to read the adress: Dim adress as String Dim adress_start as Integer Dim adress_end as Integer adress_start = vCardString.IndexOf("ADR;TYPE=HOME;") adress_end = vCardString.IndexOf(vbCr, vCardString.IndexOf("ADR;TYPE=HOME;")) adress = vCardString.Substring(adress_start, adress_end - adress_start) It works, but I think there is a nicer method to do that. Could you help me Thank you. Instead of the string parsing, which probably would work, you could also try a RegEx.Match. The tricky part there is figuring out the regex expression. You would also want to test the performance of the simple stri ...Show All

• SQL Server Hidden columns/blank PDF page(s)

  I have been trying for some time to create a columnar report where certain columns can be hidden as requested by the user. I have tried placing the complete column set in the report, and then hiding a subset of columns, but blank pages are produced when rendered to PDF since the report body does not appear to shrink as columns are hidden and justify themselves to the left. I have tried a table, list, and matrix to no avail... Does anyone know of a workaround, a trick, or even a hack that may accomplish what I am after Thanks. Hello Iago, I have found a work around for this problem. It’s a bit hacky, but does work. 1. Collapse all table columns to the smallest they can go so width = .125 2. Resize th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS and .net websites don't work together?

  Hi Guys, While creating Team project, it's reading config values from c:\InetPub\WWWRoot\Web.config file. If I remove that file, it will give me TF30177 ( http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=923532&SiteID=1&mode=1 ) error. But if i keep that file there(c:\InetPub\WWWRoot\), than my .net web-sites stop working. (It gives error for config values as it seems like it reads from c:\InetPub\WWWRoot\web.config location.) Questions: 1. Why TFS read from only c:\InetPub\WWWRoot\ location 2. How can i change web.config file's (for tfs) location 3. Is there any another way to resolve this Thanks in advance.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Does WCF Can make Transaction With Java Application?

  Hi All, I find documents say that WCF make transaction by using the MSDTC Services. But the WCF follow the WS-AT specific; Does Anyone have tried the transaction function in Windows and JAVA Platform I'm not sure I understand your question. Any two services that implements support for the WS-AT protocol can flow transactions between them in either direction. WCF implements WS-AT, and there are implementations of WS-AT available on the the java platform. To create a WCF service that works with MSDTC via WS-AT rather than OleTX (the default transaction protocol in Windows), I would start by looking here: http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733116.aspx , especially the section under How to: Create a Tr ...Show All
