data source configuration wizard empty when i open it
i was trying to copy the dialog box but was un able to do so.
it used to work but today it is just empty i am not sure what to do
When I use VS2008 to create a new form application, I am able to go to the Data menu select "Show Data Sources" then the "Data Sources" window appears. Then I am able to "Add New Data Source" and so on. But when I create a new Web Application. I can not do that. Am I not able to create a Data Source on web applications?
View 1 RepliesIn Visual Studio Team Edition there is a load test tool where you can select unit tests, integration tests etc... to form scenarios which are then used in a load test session with different configurations for example varying usage levels.
Looking at for example the NUnit framework, it would be possible to develop a form of such a tool, along with a base load testing code base, but I was interested if anyone knows of any open source project which has has already done a similar thing which could then be of use for this situation and possibly extended?
When i open the The Configure Data Source wizard, the "Specify columns from a table or view" shows gray, I cannot choose it. How can I do it.

Is there a way to confige IIS to open a database(s) at server level and other application just reference the database handler(pointer)? For an example in Tomcat or Resin, we can specify a set of database souece in the configuration file so the Tomcat or Resin starts, these database will be opened. And rest of applications can reference these datasource handler/pointer in their individual application web.config files.

View 2 Repliescan 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.
how to make my source code to display on one line instead of multiple in source view. The display drives me batty when I'm trying to find something and I would prefer to display across the page instead of multiple lines down the page.
View 2 RepliesWhen using Visual Web Developer Express there seems to be an issue when trying to insert a DDL into the Wizard. If I create a Wizard, and then insert a DDL inside the wizard, the source shows, correctly,
...
<asp:WizardStep runat="server" title="Step 1"> <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server"> </asp:DropDownList> </asp:WizardStep>
...
However, if I return to the Design view and use the Smart Tasks button to 'Edit Items', although I can complete the relevant details in the 'ListItem Collection Editor' they are not transferred to the source. If I use exactly the same procedure on a DDL outside the Wizard everything functions correctly.
I am wondering about the scalability of a webpage that uses a gridview connected to an SQL data source. The SQL data source queries a database once every 60 seconds to refresh the data by using a Script Manager and Timer. The SQL query is static and is not dynamically editable by the webpage viewer.
If n people have the webpage open, does that mean that the database is queried independently n times? So if 100 people have this website open on their PCs, does the database get queried 100 independent times?
If so, is there a better way to design the webpage so that the database is only queried once and then all the open webpages get updated without the added overhead cost of multiple independent queries.
I'm working on a site where we want to include a pie chart on a page. Right now I'm working on implementing that through Reporting Services (RDLC file) with an object data source.The SelectMethod of my object data source is a method that returns a list of business objects; lets say a List<Alpha> and Alpha has a sub object Beta with a Name property. In my report definition I have set the Category groups to be: =Fields!Beta.Value.Name this means that Alpha.Beta.Name are my pie slices. I got the following error:
An error has occurred during report processing. The Group expression for the rouping 'chart1_CategoryGroup1' contains an error: Object variable or With block variable not set.I was able to confirm this is because Beta is nullable and was able to fix the issue by updating the object Alpha to return a new Beta() if the Beta property is null. This solution is not ideal though because there are other places in my code where I need Beta to be null if it doesn't have a value yet.Is there a way to update the report definition to accept a null property as valid? Ideally I would like to specify the value as "Not Set" if Beta is null.
How do I programmaticly set data source for Asp.net report control?I have a VS 2008 report control and want to switch between a couple different reports.I can switch repots by setting the report source and refreshing the control but I can't see where to set the data source.Each report has it's own data source and if I set them to start when the control is built it is fine but I need to switch between them.
View 1 RepliesI know both these software are old and that I can update to newer version. But I need to do it with those software in particular.I have Visual Studio 2005 and Visual SourceSafe 6 installed on my computer. When I try to open Visual SourceSafe 6 database using Visual SourceSafe 6 directly, I have no problem at all.Then I try to open a project solution I took from SourceSafe using Visual Studio 2005. Right away I receive this messageThe solution appears to be under source control, but its binding information cannot be found. It is possible that the MSSCCPRJ.SCC file or another item that holds the source control settings for the solution, has been deleted. Because it is not possible to recover this missing information automatically, the projects whose bindings are missing will be treated as not under source control.
Then an invite to chose a SourceSafe Database open. I click on BROWSE. First thing I noticed : The SourceSafe available databases list is empty (while I remind, it's not in SourceSafe 6. I can see there the COMMON database and the VSS database which is located on a different server on our network. Before that, I went in TOOLS->OPTIONS->SOURCE CONTROL, and make sure Visual Source Safe was selected as the Plug-in to use for a Source Control).So I click again on Browse, and locate my srcsafe.ini file. Everything is OK. It evens confirm me that my database path is
\dev2k3programmationVSS and that my database name is indeed VSS. So it found it. I then click on OK.
But when I do, the Database is not added to my available list, at all. The result, I can never select a source control, ever, which end in me not being able to work connected to the main source control of our network. Everything is working fine on every other computer in our company. Only this one have problem.Did I give enough description to my problem? I really need help on this one, because working disconnected from Source Safe can give a lot of pain to our team. Can anyone give me an hand? If you need any more info, just ask.

Does Crystal Report for Visual Studio 2010 supports Entity data source?
View 1 RepliesI have had a persistant problem, which occurs in "Visual Web Developer 2008" express, but also in "Visual Studio 2010"
When I drop a data control onto my webpage, and the select "Configure Data Source", the dialog box opens, but when I try and browse for the data file (could be MDB or XLS) the data file does not appear in the "Select (XML/MDB) file" - in the example below a XML file. If I set the filter to "All Files (*.*)" I can see all of the files EXCEPT the XML files.
The project is a web project, and is set to HTTP - using my local IIS.

View 1 RepliesI need to open a txt text an search a sequence data. For example, searching for "name" and get the text NAME: John Doe and return only the "John Doe". An example of the contents of the text:

There is no standard type of a "name" per line, in fact everything is amended and the file is quite extensive, with 1687 contacts.
