I installed my sql2005 server in windows 7 32bit and found out that it is used as sql express Server.

did I installed it the case or I did wrong installation.

is there a way to upgrade  sql2005 server standard to 2008 version?

thanks

Hi,

I have a reportviewer on a asp.net 4.5 web forms in Visual Studio 2012. It uses a local report .rdlc file and binds to a data source that connects to Oracle 10g. The code of the report viewer is as followings:

<rsweb:ReportViewerID="ReportViewer1"runat="server"Font-Names="Verdana"Font-Size="8pt"><LocalReport ReportEmbeddedResource="FMCustomer.ReportSecJob.rdlc" ReportPath="ReportSecJob.rdlc">

 <DataSources>
 <rsweb:ReportDataSource DataSourceId="DataSetSecJob" Name="DataSetSecJob" />
 </DataSources>

</LocalReport>
 </rsweb:ReportViewer>

There are three errors I have been encountered.

1. if the reportPath=  above is not assigned the name of the report then the error shows up:

An error occurred during local report processing. The report definition for report 'ReportHomeRpt1' has not been specified. Object reference not set to an instance of an object. 

This error is fixed by adding the name of the report to reportPath=. This solution is provided on the internet by searching the error message.

2. Now the error message is "The DataSourceID of the ReportDataSource 'DataSetSecJob' of the ReportViewer 'ReportViewer1' must be the ID of a control of type IDataSource. A control with ID 'DataSetSecJob' could not be found." I cannot find a solution to it.

3. if you go to the reportviewer1 smart tag and select  "Choose Data Sources", and then click to expend several levels of "Data Source Instance" in the right column of the "Choose Data Sources" windows, the visual Studio 2012 closes by itself without any warnings and message! This could be a bug.

My problem: is when i run my application and click "btnGenerate" my items do not display and I cannot search for the number i want What the program is supposed to do: I enter any number and hit sort( that works) it then show a list of numbers corresponding with the amount I entered. Afterwards I want the program to be able to find one specific number (not working any ideas) 

This weird problem came out of nowhere. I started VS2013, and it started to get really slow. Whenever I do something (write code, build, run etc.), VS gets really slow, hogging all CPU resources. If I let it be still, it'll get normal in about a minute. If I write some new code, however, the slowness returns.

I'm running Windows 8.1 Preview x64 with Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 Preview. I have no extensions installed besides the ones that come with VS. I tried resetting all settings and uninstalling and reinstalling VS, but it didn't help.

I am interested to know what some of my options in creating a SaaS program?  I currently program in VB6 and VB.net.  I have created some Web Applications but I feel that migrating my Windows Desktop Application to a 100% pure Website application  will not be a good fit. 

Could someone possible explain to me what exactly the difference is between a ASP.net Web Application and a SaaS application? 

My current understanding tells me they are the same. They both are hosted on a web server and both run via the browser.

Thank you for any help or clarifications you all can provide.

I've been using Expression Web for many years for some simple non-profit websites. I found out that Microsoft is now dropping EW as a product and pushing everyone to Visual Studio. Ok, I use VS, but have never used it for simple HTML based websites.

I see that VS has some great power for developing web applications for ASP.NET, but I am unable to find how to do a task as simple as "Create from Dynamic Template" for a website. I used DWT's for all of my sites as they are not ASP.NET and do not run on Microsoft servers.

DWT was a very simple, easy to use approach. How do I use DWT's in VS 2012 to create new pages? When I update a DWT in VS will it update the associated pages? Has MS dropped support for DWT's in VS?

I want to compile a 64-bit application using Visual C++ 2010 professional, but I keep getting this error, and I have no idea what to do :

1>------Build started:Project:Test,Configuration:Debug x64 ------1>Error:The"ConfigurationGeneral" rule is missing from the project.

I've searched this problem on google, but all ideas didn't solve my problem.

Thank you!

I have windows 8.1 Pro 64bits if this information is needed, and I use visual studio 2010 c++ professional.

None of my previous applications works, so tried repairing visual studio professional, but it still doesn't work :\

My environment is as follows

 Windows 8.1

 Net Framework 4.5.1  IIS 8.5

 SQL Server 2012 and  VS2013  Everything is running 100% ok Except when I start debugging then start up (using LocalHost) the web site I am  working on in Chrome or in IE11 . As I move through the funvtionality VS2013 does not stop at any breakpoint. it carries on as if I had not started the debugging function. The breakpoints are NOT hollow, and they all listed in the IDE.

  When using VS2005 I did not have this problem.

We are using the current project to help with our scanning needs:

http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/171666/Twain-for-WPF-Applications-Look-Ma-No-Handles

This works correctly in 2010 with Win7

We are wanting to move onto win 8.1 with Visual Studio 2013. Pleas help us resolve why the following error is happening:

The native api call is:

        [DllImport("twain_32.dll", EntryPoint = "#1")]
        public static extern TwainResult DsmIdentity([In, Out] Identity origin, IntPtr zeroPtr, DataGroup dg, DataArgumentType dat, Message msg, [In, Out] Identity idds);

An unhandled exception of type 'System.AccessViolationException' occurred in TwainDotNet.dll

Hi,

When I debug my Windows store Project in visual studio 2013 it gets really slow and visual studio is always not responding. I run it in a Windows8.1 machine.

The problem appeared this week, without making any changes in the Project or in the system.

When I run the Project without debugging it Works fine.

Any tip to solve the issue?

Thanks.

Hi,

I have installed Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate Edition and SQL Server 2012 Developer edition on a Windows 7 pro x64 machine. I have also installed Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools. Yet, I do not seem to have any Project templates for SSIS and not able to edit my SSIS Projects. Many websites states that BIDS is no longer included with SQL Server and that for ex. Visual Studio 2012 had an SSDT-BI addition package that does not exist for Visual Studio 2013. Some sources says this is included in Visual Studio 2013.

Have I missed something? I first installed Visual Studio 2013 and then SQL Server 2012. Should SQL Server 2012 be installed first and then Visual Studio 2013? Or is something else wrong with my installation?

I am getting an error on my OdatService app after downloading the new nugget package in visual studio 2012

Nu Get Packages are missing form this solution   Click Restore to restore form your online package sources.

When I click Restore

I get the error "An error occurred while trying to restore packages, Unable to find version 5.0.0 of package Microsoft.Data.Edm

How do correct this in VS 2012?

If I remove the Microsoft.Data.Edm from the references list in the project and add back the the Microsoft.Data.Edm 5.0 from reference manage list the reference is added but even after I add the ref it still shows the error in Vs2012. The Microsoft.Data.Edm  5.0.0 and the 5.2.0 are both available in the reference manage list.

Thanks for any help

I am running windows 7 64 bit and I am trying to debugg one of my programs.  When I start the debugging in this program I get the error:

A fatal error has occurred and debugging needs to be terminated.  Form more details please see microsoft Help and Support Web Site.  HRESULT=0x80070005.  Error Code=0x0

I have looked around and it is claimed this is a memory issue, but I have plenty of memory.  I have another program of similar size that will debug without a problem.  A quick check on this program, it will debug on XP without a problem.  I have removed and installed VS2008, added SP1, did a repain install.  Nothing works. 

Is there a log I can look at for more details on what is failing?  How do I get to it?  Anyone know of a fix?

Thanks.

I have a VB 6 program that a business has used for years running on XP.  While it needs some minor enhancements, the major need is to upgrade it to Windows 7 (Windows 8 will come later).   The problem is that I cannot find any tools in VS 2013 to load and convert a VB 6 (VBP) projects into VS 2013.  I did see one posting that said the only tools to do this were in VS 2008, but I cannot find that download (just to use for conversion) anywhere.

Has anyone had this issue, and how was it resolved.   Is VS 2008 out there as a download, are there other tools?

Thanks in advance for everyone's help.

I have an MSDN Action Pack Development and Design subscription.

I have downloaded and installed Visual Studio Professional 2013, and it says the license is a "Trial extension (for evaluation purposes only)" and that the license will expire in 90 days.

From within Visual Studio I have signed in to my Microsoft account, but this doesn't result in the Visual Studio product being activated.

Is there some 'trick' to this to get Visual Studio registered / activated with an MSDN subscription?

I'm not sure this is the right forum, I don't post here usually.

Thankful for any help / advice.

Matthew Jones.

I have visual studio 2010 professional c++ and I use window 8.1 pro.

Every time I try to create a project (any type of project), that I choose a name and a valid location for the solution, and that I click OK, closing the "new project" window, the "new project" window appear again, as if nothing happened. nothing happen apart from just project creation wizard shown again without any message.

In addition to not being able to create new projects, I can't even debug my old projects, as I have this error : "ConfigurationGeneral" rule is missing from the project.

I really have no idea what to do and am quite upset as I'm completely stuck. I tried reinstalling visual studio c++ professional 2010 but it didn't solve my problem.

Thank you for helping me find an answer to my problem :)

All of the sudden ClickOnce publishing has stopped working in Visual Studio 2008.

I have tried to upgrade the application to VS2012 and deploy there but am getting the same error.

Note system changes since this last worked.

    - Installed VS2012 Pro
    - Installed VS2013 RC
    - Upgraded IE 9 to IE10 and IE11, had no choice.

IE 11 says that it can not access the setup.exe file of the web site to execute the OneClick install.

    - Installed VS2013Express without removing VS2013RC
    - Misc. other MS updates.

    - Removed VS2010Express

Checked IIS (ver6) still set to serve executable files.
