Visual Studio :: No More "Run Custom Tool" For Reports In 2008?
Apr 15, 2010
At my old job, i had a report server that was very stable. I was using VS2005, and when i added a crystal report to the website, there was a vb file generated for the report. At my current job, i am using VS2008, and the VB file is no longer generated for the report, and there is no "Run Custom Tool" command when you right click on the report in the solution explorer.I would really just like to test the reports where i can declare the report as a variable and launch the report like i used to, but now i seem to be forced to use the ReportSource control along with the ReportViewer control....and the results are sporadic at best. I get very random "report source invalid", "load report failed", and other undescriptive errors. this is unsatisfactory for these .Is there a configuration thing I am missing, or will I need to go back to VS2005, re-add all the files to a VS2005 project, and start all over, just in order to test and see if maybe it's the reportsource control causing all of my current problems?
can Visual Studio 2008 be All-In-One tool to integrate source code continuously from team members, build, unit test?
Having used Visual Studio Team Edition 2005, unit testing each method within VS itself. I strongly believe that it is feasible to add-on tools. Example ankhsvn tool to use SVN from Visual studio [URL]
In my investigating i have come across number of tools(shown below) to use with Visual Studio 2008 professional
Development tool:- Visual Studio 2008 professional using Subversion as source control tool. Continuous Integration:- Hudson or Cruise control Build tool:- NAnt Testing:- NUnit, Selinium As Visual Studio 2008 can be used for unit testing I think NUnit is out of consideration.
In the same way i would like to have any other tools/add-ons to Visual studio to implement continuous integration, building and unit testing. This process should be automated such a way source code between team members is continuously integrated, built and unit testing is done as configured.
Objective is to use few number of tools as add-on to Visual Studio or achieve most from Visual studio itself (example unit testing). Visual Studio should be all in one tool.
I am aware that Team Foundation Server best suits my requirement, but it is out of scope due to its cost.
Im working on Visual Studio 2008 to develop a web application in asp.net. if I add a crystal report file (.rpt) in my project, I see only hexadecimal code.
I wonder how to add a project template called Intelligence Reports, something like that, to Visual studio 2008. I have SQL 2008 installed. Do I need to install some updates to get Intelligence Reports template to Visual studio 2008 ?
I installed VS2010.Since I needed SSAS, SSRS, SSIS proj and I could not tind them fast I installed VSTS2008SP1 and MS SQL Server 2008 R2 (+client tools).How do I create BI projs in VS2010?
MS SQL Server 2008 R2 setup installed BIDS but this link opens VSTS2008SP1.I'd like to submit bug reports on BI proj,they are mostly on GUI, i.e. BIDS2008R2, is it or VSTS2008SP1 in my case?Now, https://connect.microsoft.com/directory/ permits bugs on VS only of version 2010 and .NET 4.0.
But the most recent MSSQLServer2008R2 settup installs BIDS, akaVS2008.Does it install .NET 4.0 (seems like no), or VS2010 as BIDS (seems like no)?Where to report bugs on GUI used for BI (SSRS, SSAS, SSIS) projs, i.e. on BIDS2008R2, i.e. VSTS2008SP1 in my case?
Once more:the most recent MSSQLServer setup installs VS2008 but the bugs are not accepted on it.Also feedback on MSSQLServer2008 does not have category BIDS or VS. Or BIDS/VS is under "Tools(SSMS, Agent, Profiler, Migration, etc.)" there?
Is there any tool for Visual Studio 2008 which can reformat ASPX code to make it more presentable (eg insert line breaks, format the lines so they wrap when necessary, etc)?
I've been working on this for a while now and nothing has been a bigger pain in asp.net. I'm trying to implement custom profile fields in my visual studio 2008 web application project. I've read a lot of tutorials but they all seem to be either out dated or don't apply to web application projects. Last night I got a little closer to solving the problem when I found the "Web Profile Builder" for web applications. I've successfully set this up and can handle static profile data.I've got my web.config file setup and I can access my custom profile fields by Profile.CustomField. Now I want to figure out how I integrate this with the database and data connection. I know there are two standard ways to handle this, I would like to create new columns in the aspnet_Profile database (rather than the delimited key/value option).I'm pretty new to asp.net and this is my first project with c#, .net, and asp.
I'm struggling with this problem about 2 weeks and still cannot find the resolution.I was developed a .Net application with visual studio 2008 and using crystal report to generate report.It is working fine in my local machine. However, after I deployed the application to web server with microsoft server 2003 64bits server. The report cannot open and I get this error The type initialize or 'crystaldecisions.crystalreports.engine.reportdocument' threw an exception. I try to install the redistribution package from C:Program FilesMicrosoft SDKsWindowsv6.0ABootstrapperPackagesCrystalReports10_5 but it doesn't work.
I created and populated a database inside Visual Studio 2008 instead of using Management Studio.I need to run the script to create the schema for users and roles.The database does not show up in ASP.NET SQL Server Setup Wizard or in Management StudioThe only databases that do show up are master, model, msdb, and tempdb
Is there anything I can do to fix this or would it be easier for me to just create a new database starting in Management Studio and then connect to it from within Visual Studio?
i have installed visual studio 2010. But when i add a new tool bar like "layout". It all options appears disable (mean i cant select any option). Please how will i enable these options.
I have VS 2008 Professional Edition.....I want to test a function like this:
public int getIdByName(string name) { var item=from x in DATAB where x.name=name select x.id; . . return idValue; }
now I test end I have:
[TestMethod()] public getIdByNameTest() { string name="Bob" int expected = 1; int actual; actual = ClassGET.getIdByName(name); Assert.AreEqual(expected, actual); Assert.Inconclusive("Verify the correctness of this test method."); }
The error in "test run" is:
Failed ......[Class]....... Test method threw exception: System.ArgumentException: The specified named connection is either not found in the configuration that is not for use with the EntityClient provider or thought is invalid
How can I ensure that web application converted from 2003 visual studio to 2008 visual studio
to have two files as it is when create a web file in visual studio 2008.The web application is in Chsarp. I have converted these filesfrom 2003 to 2008 but they still have three files each.
Environment : Vista,VS-2005I have converted my user controls into DLL.(This is ajax enabled Website).[URL]In another project i have added this reference , register the dll and use the Usercontrol.It is working fine.Question1 : How to add this dll into toolBox?....Question2 : How to Rename this dll?....(This is ajax enabled Website-I have added webusercontrol in this site-After publish th site i got this dll.)
Eg: user Conrol : Textbox My Dll Name =App_Web_textbox.ascx.cdcab7d2.dll; .aspx page (DLL Registration ) <%@ Register TagPrefix="WebControl" Namespace="ASP" Assembly="App_Web_pwtextbox.ascx.cdcab7d2" %>; <PhaerosWebControl:pwtextbox_ascx runat="Server" ID="pwTestDLL" />
This Code Workingfine.But i do no how to add this into ToolBox?......
Is there somewhere I can just download it? If not how can I get ahold of this tool?
Everything I've read says it's supposed to be in the [drive:]\%windir%Microsoft.NETFrameworkversion folder. So on my computer I went to: C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft.NET and there is no Framework folder there. I've search my computer and it just isnt' there.
I'm on Win 7, VS 2008 and SQL Express 2008.
I did find one forum post where a guy was having the exact same problem in Vista, and he said this post: http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2008/05/27/8555723.aspx answered his question. Unfortunately this doesn't help me. (For solution 1 I downloaded and installed .NET Framework 3.5 redistributable package but that didn't do anything at all and as for solution 2, I'm not on Vista and my Win 7 is all up to date.)
I installed the Visual Web Developer 2008 Express on my Windows XP, I also install the SP1. But somehow all the tool box items in the ToolBox are grayed out and I cannot access them,
i am downloading thr Visual Stuio 2008 Professional Version from microsoft website which is a 3.1GB software and a trial version which expired after 90 days, i want to know this trail version includes everything ?
i am confused by reading this on the VS2008 download page :
