Adding a graph in visual studio 2008

Post Author: computerdude
CA Forum: .NET
I am building an application using Visual Studio 2008 with Crystal Reports. I am trying to add a graph to the report in the Report Header but the OK button is not highlighted.
I have added a data source to the report. Data is being pulled from a .net class.
Is there something else that I have missed doing?
I have also tried to add a report with Crystal Reports. The graph is added but when I try to edit it the OK button does not show their either.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi John,
There are 3 things that I would have checked:
1) Do you test machine have got Crystal dlls having the version 10.5.3700.0 in c:\windows\assenbly folder?
2) if it is a web application, then do the web.config has got the crystal dlls of the same version?
3) DO i have any dlls of old version in applications bin folder?
4) If all other seems ok I would have run Modules.exe from [here|www.sysinternals.com] in dev and production machine to compare the dlls and files.
Hope it helps!
AG.

Connecting Visual Studio 2008 to Team Foundation Server 2012/2013

I currently have many projects in VS 2008.
We are able to build and deliver all of the products to the production servers.
I want to connect VS2008 to VisualStudio.com so I can create an environment for Beta Testing with VisualStudio.com and Azure.
I have started from scratch:
Build a VMWare Virtual Machine - Windows 7 Ultimate
Added all of the Windows Updates
I installed Visual Studio 2008 - Professional
I updated Visual Studio 2008 to SP1
I have installed VS2008 Team Explorer
Unable to install GDR2 - with message "Visual Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition GDR does not apply, or is blocked by another condition on your system. '
I attempted to follow the "more information" instructions but there were no previous version to uninstall.
I attempted to login to Team Foundation Server (https://nnnnnn.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection) and receive the "TF31002: Unable to connect to ....
I am able to login to the visualstudio.com site without any issue.
I have been working on this for days and no matter what I have read and tried, I cannot seem to get past this point.
I tried using a laptop I have and did the same steps as above with the same results.
It is obvious I am missing a step or that this process is longer possible.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Is there a "support" number that might help me resolve this?

Hi Zanyfrong,

Upgraded reports with left join no longer working in Visual Studio 2008

I've upgraded an ASP.NET project, which has lots of reports, from Visual Studio 2003 to Visual Studio 2008. Any reports that contain a left outer join relationship no longer work and it's driving me mad as I've spent hours on this now. Basically, the join fails because there's no rows on the right side of the relationship. I'm checking for nulls in the formula's and there's no record selection criteria. The report is pulling data from 2 stored procedures and a couple of tables. Any ideas?

Hi Ludek,
Thanks for your reply. I've already applied SP1 and I assumed it worked, but looking at it in depth I'm not so sure. The installer runs and says its configuring windows etc and it l looks like it finishes, but it doesn't display a message to say installation was successful. When I look in the event log there are warnings during the install, I don't know if I should be worried about them. They are as follows:
Error in Template (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\Web\VisualBasic\1033\AdoNetEntityDataModelVB_ASPNET.zip), file (ModelObjectItemVB_ASPNET.vstemplate). Invalid template element (TemplateID) value (Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.VSTemplate.ModelObjectItemVB_ASPNET)
Error in Template (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\Web\VisualBasic\1033\AdoNetDataServiceVBWebsite.zip), file (WebDataService.vstemplate). Unknown attribute (_locID).
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
As for the report itself, Its connecting to SQL Server and getting the data from 2 stored procedures and a few tables. There are no errors reported in the report, the only warning we have is when you close the database expert it says:
"More than one datasource or a stored procedure has has been used in this report. Please make sure that no SQL expression is added and no server-side group-by is performed." We've always had that message and it's never caused any problems before.

Slow first connection using Oracle 10g xe and Visual Studio 2008

{noformat}
Good day,
I'm slightly unaccustomed to using forums, so bear with me.
My initial connection to the Oracle database takes approximately 30 seconds. It seems to be waiting for a connection before timing out and trying another connection which works, as all subsequent connections work immediately. I'm unsure how other people's responses in forums can help me due to the plethora of configurations, so here's mine. My comprehension of the oracle world is still growing, you'll have to explain the terms you're using for me, Hoping you can help.
I'm using Visual Studio 2008, set to use 32 bit debug mode, on a Windows 7 Pro platform. Also using Oracle 10g Xe, and have installed the 32 bit version of ODAC 11.2 (11.2.0.1) to aid making a connection from Visual Studio to Oracle.
I have a database set up and a user with system admin rights. This is all local for a programming project and will never see the light of day outside of my personal machine.
I am using code to connect, not the GUI. I wish to code this project completely without the aid of the GUI. so my connection string within Visual Studio C# is (pw/id hidden)...
string xe = "Data Source=xe;User Id=xxxxx;Password=xxxxx;";
OracleConnection conn = new OracleConnection(xe);
My c:\devsuitehome\network\admin\sqlnet.ora file is this:
# sqlnet.ora Network Configuration File: C:\DevSuiteHome\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (LDAP, TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT, ONAMES, HOSTNAME)
And my c:\devsuitehome\network\admin\TNSNames.ora file is this:
tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: C:\DevSuiteHome\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = xe)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <machine name)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = PLSExtProc)
Just for good measure, my tnsping xe shows:
"Used paramter files:<br/>
c:\devsuitehome\network\admin\sqlnet.ora<br/><br/>
Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias<br/>
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521)))(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = xe)))
OK (0 msec)"
So, how can I make that initial connection faster so I don't spend 15 years testing my application due to slow start-ups? :)
Thank you.
Kevin.

I have formatted my hard drive since my first post. I was running window 64 bit with a higher version of the ODAC and that proved to crash my machine with faulty error messages about memory. I have reverted to a previous version of the ODAC tools and everything works very smooth now. Still the connection time is consistently 20 seconds or longer on the first attempt.
Just a little more information.. I am currently taking a college course with 15 other students, as you can tell by the impersonal machine name, where programming using visual studio 2008, and Oracle 10g xe is expected. All of us are using a 64 bit environment and we all have difficulties cutting down the load time of making the first connection to Oracle. Some people are longer making the connection, but none are shorter.
One other note. After the first connection is made, taking 20 or more seconds, and is closed, all subsequent openings of the connection are instantaneous, for all of us.
If there is ANYTHING more I can get for you, please let me know. With my environment stable as it is, I will not need to format or change any information for the foreseeable future.
Here is the information you requested
1 The connection method I am using, I have chosen the manual connection for you, however the delay exists if the connection is made through the GUI as well.
Historically, I am getting slow connection speeds through adding the connection through the GUI or by a manual connection. Here is how I am doing it manually. I have the connection being created in 20 seconds, which is the best I can get.

I fought for weeks about the ODAC version 11.2.0.1 that you see in the previous post, and that would be a whole new thread.

Using Data Services WSDL with Visual Studio 2008

I am attempting to use the Data Services XI 3.1 WSDL (I think this Data Integrator v 12.1) in Visual Studio 2008 and I am having some difficulty.
I am getting the wsdl from the following location: http://devserver:28080/DataServices/servlet/webservices?ver2.0&wsdlxml
When I attempt to add the web reference to a project all look fine, I see a display of all the methods and their parameter description, etc. but when the add is complete it appears to be unusable. Attempting to instanciate the web service and call the methods results in unreconizable data types. The web service does not show up in Intellisense as a reconizable class, etc.
Am I doing something wrong?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

try adding a "Service Reference..."
In the add Service Reference panel, click Advanced and then select Add Web Reference. Enter the url to the WSDL and see if this works.
If this continues to fail, try replacing 2.0 with 1.1 on your URL
ie: /webservices?ver1.1&wsdlxml
if that still fails, past the URL in a browser and see if there are any error messages in the <documentation> tags.
if you are still having issues, try posting to:

Looping login screen in Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008

Hello,
I am using Visual Studio 2008 with the Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008. Visual Studio and the Crystal Reports Basic Runtime for Visual Studio 2008 (x64) are installed on both the development and production boxes. I am using Crystal Reports via Visual Studio and do not have the full blown version of Crystal Reports installed on my machine.
We have used Visual Studio to create an aspx webpage and would like to use Crystal Reports to display a graph. The report displays fine in debug mode, but displays a looping login screen when moved into production on the web server. The web server is using Windows Server 2008 (x64) with IIS 7. We have tried passing the logon parameters to the crystal report during the page init event with the auto-bind feature enabled on the crystal report viewer. A MySQL database provides the data for the report. All ODBC data sources have been configured the same on both machines.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hello,
Use a tool called ProcessMonitor from Microsoft and watch what happens when you try to log on.
Also can you verify you created your DSN using the 64 bit ODBC Admin and that you are using a System DSN so IIS can find it.
And that the MySQL ODBC drive is also 64 bit?
If you can read ODBC trace logs you could enable it also and see what error you are getting.
Thank you
Don

Experiencing issues in accessing the APIs with Visual Studio 2008

Hi,
I am new to the RIM programming. Read through the Blackberry APIs and wanted to develop a widget through Visual Studio 2008 using Blackberry APIs by loading the web plug-in. As specified in a few examples, trying to access few functions but system is throwing an error saying 'feature' not supported and it does not recognises 'invoke' class of blackberry.
Can any one please assist to resolve this issue.
Code -
in Index.htm have put the below code -
<feature id="blackberry.app.event" version="1.0.0"/>
<html>
   <head>
        <meta name="viewport" id="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no" />
       <title>Untitled Page</title>
       <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/MyActions.js">
        </script>
   </head>
   <body>
<div> <input type="button" value="What is my PIN BB... ?" onclick="DisplayPIN();"/> </div>
<div> <input type="button" value="What do I have planned today?" onclick="launchCalendar();" /> </div>......
in Actions.js have put the below function
function launchCalendar() {
    var today = new Date();
    alert("Today is " + today.toString());
    var calendarArgs = new blackberry.invoke.CalendarArguments(today);
    calendarArgs.view = blackberry.invoke.CalendarArguments.VIEW_DAY;
    blackberry.invoke.invoke(blackberry.invoke.APP_CALENDAR, calendarArgs);

It worked. I seem to misplace the <feature> tag. It's a part of config.htm.
It ran successfully with some other features added to my widget.
But today again when I launched the app and tried to click a button in the simulator (9650) it doesn't responds at all. Debugging feature too doesn't works. Control is not getting trasnferred the Visual Studio 2008 even if I put a break point. Can someone help me solve this.

please help me

Hi,
Did anyone solve this issue?
A few years ago, I've wrote a small app that uses Indesign on XP. All these years it worked great. Now, we have migrated to windows 7 and the problems start. I've tried running both Indesign as my own app as administrator without any improvement.
Why are these problems happening in Windows 7?
Kind regards
John

Unable to open MVC project in Visual Studio 2008

I started working on an Asp.net MVC website using Visual Web Developer Express 2008 a while ago. Just recently, I managed to get my hands on a copy of Visual Studio 2008 Professional (through
DreamSpark ). I installed the Service Pack, and also the MVC2 files for Visual Studio.
However, now I can't open my project anymore. When I try to open the solution in Visual Studio, it tells me that the project type is not supported. Does this mean that I have to resort to using VWD Express again? Is there perhaps some way that I can edit
the project file so that it will load and compile correctly?
Note: I installed MVC2 through the Web Platform Installer, and it says that it installed successfully. However, I notice that MVC references in my unit-test project don't seem to be resolved either - is this perhaps because MVC2 isn't actually installed
properly?

Sub report parameter prompt appears when running Visual Studio 2008 with Crystal Reports 2008

Post Author: relliott
CA Forum: .NET
If I build a simple Crystal Report that contains another simple Crystal Sub Report, the report will print preview fine in Crystal 2008. The problem happens when add this report to a Visual Studio 2008 Web Application Project and I build and debug the application, the Crystal Viewer is prompting the user for the parameter used to link the sub report to the main report. This should never happen as the user is not supposed to see this parameter. If I type in some value for this sub-report parameter prompt, the Crystal Report Viewer gives an error message about not finding the field.
I was having the same problem in Vs2005 with Crystal 10 which is why I upgraded. Business Object's official fix for this problem was published under their KB article number c2018840 and c2019047. These hot fixes ended up causing general exception errors in Visual Studio so I scrapped these solutions.
Support had me install SP0 for Crystal 2008 (which did not fix it).
Any ideas?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Bontrager,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
According to your description, I agree with pvdg42's suggestion, so I suggest you can try pvdg42's suggestion to install the version of
Crystal Reports 10.5 to check this issue again.
Reference:
http://forums.asp.net/t/1236730.aspx?Which+CR+version+is+in+Visual+Studio+2008+
In addition, since this forum is
to discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor. So if you have any issue about the
Crystal Reports, I suggest you can ask the issue to the
SAP Crystal Reports website:
http://scn.sap.com/community/crystal-reports/content?filterID=contentstatus%5bpublished%5d~objecttype~objecttype%255bthread
as pvdg42 pervious suggestion, it will be better support.

Crystal Report 2008 in Visual Studio 2008

Greetings all,
I faced a problem here when trying to implement a web application on a Windows Server 2003 Release 2 64bit. The web application is developed using Visual studio 2008 on a development PC running on Windows XP 32bit. The application basically will pass some parameters to the crystal report before loading it for viewing. When this application is implemented on one of our client's server which is running on Win2003 32bit, it was perfectly fine. However, when this same application is implemented on a windows 2003 r2 server x64, it somehow prompted an error on top of the page (just before the report viewer object) of the below message:
This field name is not known. Error in File [temp_location_of_rpt]: Error in formula '{Vendors.company_code}={?Company_Code} and ' This field name is not known.
As the application was working fine running under win2003 r2 x32, I configured the x64 server to enable the 32bit IIS mode on the server by running the below command:
cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32BitAppOnWin64 u201Ctrueu201D
Then proceeded with reinstallation of 32bit .net framework which surprisingly able to run the web application just fine (including viewing the report). When I deactivate the 32bit on the IIS (as the client needs to run the IIS on 64bit mode), the error appears again stating the formula error and field name not known when trying to load the report.
Anyone faced similar to this problem or any gurus and expers here can help? Would appreciate all help and guidance.

Hi Brian,
I did try to create a report without any parameters passing through the web application, in which merely to load the report that connects to the database and grab records for viewing but to my amazement, the rows of record displayed is max up to 1 row (even there are many rows in the database table). I am curious if the problem lies in the connectivity issue between crystal and oracle. Now I am wondering if there is anyone out there who manage to get the web application (visual studio) interfaced successfully with crystal report to load data directly from oracle running on IIS 64bit? Or even any other database engine where the web application is running on IIS 64bit mode?
For the time being, I am re-constructing the report to use XSD for the intention to pass the data through dataset from the web application to crystal report. It's a time consuming but I guess that's the only way to work around it.
Would appreciate if anyone have any leads to get the crystal report working on IIS x64 mode.
Thanks.

5. I apply hotfix Crystal Reports for .NET 2005 - SP 1 - same error
Thank You

Hi Ludek,
1-For dbase file to work you need have permission on database files for IIS as well as user accessing the database.
2-For re-install you need to insert the CD of visual studio setup then do custom install and then try to choose crystal reports for re-installing
3-The old viewer might cause the problem. In this case can you try connecting to a blank dbase file.
and for such issues we have a special forum [here|SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio;
Thanks,

Crystal Report 10 in Visual Studio 2008

Hello,
Is there a formal process to make Visual Studio 2008 work with Crystal Report version 10? Are there specific files that need to be installed? Any problems to watch for. I currently tried to port Visual Studio 2003 solution that had working Crystal Reports 10 code and I have received some errors relating to ReportDocument (but there could be other). Anyway, maybe there are some basics I am missing.
Thanks.

When I double click on the report (.rpt) file, I am getting Microsoft Windows dialog with the following message:
      Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 has stopped working.
      Windows can try to restart the program.
      --> Restart the program
     --> Debug the Program
When I click Debug the Program, I see following:
   Unhandled exception at 0x18205950 in devenv.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation.
   Top 3 Call Stack lines at this point are:
   18205950()
   CRDesigner.dll!3e043d7a()
   [Frames below may be incorrect and/or missing, no symbols loaded for CRDesigner.dll]
   When I click Break in debug window I see:
   No symbols are loaded for any call stack frame. The source code cannot be displayed."
   Windows has triggered a breakpoint in devenv.exe.
   This may be due to a corruption of the heap, which indicates a bug in devenv.exe or any of the DLLs it has loaded.
I do not see Crystal Reports 10.xx under reference list. How do I go back to the version of reports originally created in? If I am not able to work the Crystal Reports 2008, I want to go back to 10.xx and drop the idea of considering upgrade to Crystal Reports 2008.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Integrating Crystal Report 2008 Developer with Visual Studio 2008 Standard

I have Crystal Reports 2008 Developer version 12.0.0.683 on my computer. I also have Visual Studio 2008 Standard. I know the standard edition of VS 2008 does not have the bundled crystal reports, but since I bought the full version of CR 2008 separately, I figure I should be able to use CR within VS 2008. The problem I am facing is integrating Crystal Reports with Visual Studio, so I can create reports from within visual studio.
Crystal Reports was installed first and then Visual Studio. As per suggestions on this and other forums, I repaired my installation of Crystal Reports, but that did not help. I then ran Visual Studio integration manager, but when I run it, it only detects Visual Studio as the currently installed IDE, but does not detect CR 2008. I downloaded service pack 2 for CR, but have not installed it yet. I do not want to install it if it is not going to help. I would also like to avoid uninstalling my copy of CR if at all possible.
I am a newbie at development in visual studio. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rajib

Don't want to go against what Jason said as it may be correct - if we go strictly by the documentation provided (sorry Jason, Dan says...). However, here is something to try;
Uninstall CR. Look for any left overs; c:\program files\business objects\... and delete all of that.
Look in the registry for HKLM\software\business objects and remove the business objects entry.
Download CR 2008 from here:

That is a trial version and I believe it is already at SP 1. Use your keycode to install. Once this is done, you should have the ability to use CR in .NET. I'd recommend you do apply sp 2 now also.
