Compact Server 4.0 not working in Visual Studio 2014 app

I have an application that uses Microsoft SQL Server Compact version 4.0. The application works on Windows 8 and it works on windows 7, but it doesn't work on Small Business Server. I created the application with a compact server so it would be flexible
enough to be installed on anyone's computer. The error I am getting is as follows
"A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
(provider: sQL Network Interfaces, error: 52-Unable to locate a Local Database Runtime installation. Verify that SQL Server Express is properly installed and that the Local Database Runtime feature is enabled.)"
I verified that the install folder has permissions and the application is running as administrator. Does anyone have an idea of what else I should check? I was looking at Visual Studio and I didn't see how to set "remote connections". Plus the
application works on my machine (where it was designed).
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Hmm... I feel like I have more questions than answers. If you find my reply helpful please mark as Answer below. Thanks.

Hi Trewaters,
SQL Server Compact has been deprecated from Visual Studio 2013. Refer to this
connect item.
According to the error message, I recommend you install SQL Server 2014 Express or SQL 2014 LocalDB, which can be downloaded from below link.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42299
LocalDB is created specifically for developers. It is very easy to install and requires no management. While LocalDB is meant for developers, the regular SQL Server Express will continue to exist as a free SQL Server edition, fully compatible with and easily
upgradeable to higher SQL Server editions.
For more information about SQL Server LocalDB, you can review the following articles.

Ctrl+Tab not working in Visual Studio 2013 in Remote Desktop

My PC is W81, and I'm RDing into a W7 machine running Visual Studio 2013 SP4.
When I press Ctrl+Tab (and hold), I very briefly see the usual editor window list come up, but it goes away and the editor does not switch.
If I hold Ctrl+Tab and let the repeat start, the same thing happens in rapid succession, but the current tab still never changes.
I have of course rebooted both client and server, and made sure my keyboard wasn't at fault and toggled all the keys. No dice.
Thanks.

Sorry, but that doesn't get me the original behavior, where I can tab through the list or double-tab, triple-tap TAB to visit the last, second to last, or third to last file I visited (or I could use the visual navigator). I frequently use these commands,
and it's really slowing me down.
Can I please get an admission this is a bug and a commitment to fix it?

Scrolling Header works in Visual Studio but not on Report Server 2008

2008 R2 Reporting Services. My scrolling header works in Visual Studio but not when deployed to the Report Server and viewed in IE 9. I have read most every post on this issue and can't find a solution. I have the fixed data properties
set correctly. Any suggestions?
Help appreciated!
Linda

Hi Linda,
As a suggestion, I would try to delete the deployed version and instead of deploying ther RDL file, i would try to upload the file and test it.
If the issue exisit, then I would download the exisiting version from the reportserver and compare the xml versions of the two reports and check if the propoerty is getting over written while deploying.

SharePoint DatePicker is not working in Visual webpart

Hi,
The sharepoint date picker is not working for Visual webparts created in VS 2012 (SP 2013).
In my visual webpart, I added the form digest, and then the sharePoint date control.
<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/15/datepicker.js"></script>
<SharePoint:DateTimeControl ID="dtDate" runat="server" DateOnly="true" />
I get the "/ error in Application". Many websites are saying to add the below line to the datepicker:
<SharePoint:DateTimeControl ID="dtDate" runat="server"
DateOnly="true" DatePickerFrameUrl="<%
$SPUrl:~sitecollection/_layouts/15/iframe.aspx %>" />
But adding the "DatePickerFrameUrl" gives error in the "InitializeControl()" method available in OnInit().
Error: The name InitializeControl does not exist in the current context.
I have checked this:
http://developmentsimplyput.blogspot.in/2013/04/sharepoint-datetimecontrol-issue-when.html
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/57092/sharepointdatetimecontrol-crashes-in-sp2013-webpart
but did not solve the issue. Also creating a root site for just a DatePicker control is not an option for me.
Has anybody found a solution to this?
How to use the SharePoint datepicker in visual webpart for SP 2013?
Thanks

hi
did you try to investigate the initial error more deeply, e.g. check stack trace in the logs? In our case it worked quite straightforward (but it was in SP2010) by adding the following control on ascx control:
<SharePoint:DateTimeControl ID="Foo" OnDateChanged="StartTimeChanged" HoursMode24="true" FirstDayOfWeek="1" AutoPostBack="true" runat="server" />
If it is problematic to check logs, you may create custom control which inherits OTB DateTimeControl, override appropriate methods in it and then check the error in debugger:
public class MyDateTimeControl : DateTimeControl

I would like to know why when i make a web page and test in my local browser it works fine then when i tranfer to my server i does not work fine example i used javascript to put a prompt bar on a page and it worked fine local but on server not working

how come when i make a web site and i test it in my local server it works fine when i tranfer to server certain things do not work example i used javascript to put in a prompt bar for a newsletter page at the server it did not work but at local it did also it works at MOZZILLA but not internet explorer i also have cs4 was wondering if there is a way to test a page in dreamweaver and then transfer THANK YOU X-FACTOR-MEDIA

In future, please try to make the subject line of your posts shorter. In this case the following would have been sufficient: "JavaScript works locally, but not on remote server".
Short, but meaningful subject lines make it easier for others to identify what your question is about, and often bring faster help.

Lion Server DNS service not working for locally created zones. Caching working fine.

OS Lion Server DNS service not working for local zones. Was fine under Snow leopard server but Lion server upgrade has severely broken my DNS and web sites. Zones look fine under Server Admin but keep getting "query failed (SERVFAIL) for xxxx at /SourceCache/bind9/bind9-42/bind9/bin/named/query.c:3921" in the logs. BTW - Server Admin cant seem to see the log file either.
Surely someone actually tested that DNS still worked on Lion?

I upgraded from Snow Leopard Server to Lion Server on day 01. I hit the same issue where, after the upgrade, my Lion Server stopped serving names for my private local domain.
I finally took a few minutes to figure out what was wrong. After turning on debug logging and looking through the logs, I found my particular issue, now resolved.
The issue I had was, when the domain initially was setup when I installed Snow Leopard Server, for some reason it created a zone just for the server (in my case, something like zone "s-01.mydomain.priv"), and a separate zone for all the other machines (zone "mydomain.priv", containing all the private IPs for my local domain). I never messed with it because it worked, but generally I would have put all of them in the same zone.
My zone "mydomain.priv" had a nameserver and mail exchanger entry for my server, s-01.mydomain.priv. I could see this in the Server Admin app on the DNS bubble, Zones tab, mydomain.priv selected, and the General Info panel. This was fine in Snow Leopard. This was failing the zone load in the updated bind for Lion Server, though. The issue was that the "mydomain.priv" zone was referencing the s-01.mydomain.priv server, which was not defined in the "mydomain.priv" zone but rather in the "s-01.mydomain.priv" zone.
My fix:
1. In Server Admin, add the server to the zone "mydomain.priv". I put an A record (Add Machine) in the "mydomain.priv" zone for my server named s-01.mydomain.priv.
2. shut down DNS on the OS X Lion Server (hit the Stop DNS button on Server Admin).
3. edit /etc/named.conf by hand, removing the specialized zones that contianed just the server. In this case, it would be the section titled 'zone "s-01.mydomain.priv"' and the section titled 'zone "3.10.1.10.in-addr.arpa"'. Your in-addr.arpa zone name will change based on whatever your server IP address was. My internal one happened to have s-01.mydomain.priv mapped to 10.1.10.3.
4. Once the specialized zones for just the server were removed, I started the DNS up again. Instead of serving four zones as it had in OS X Snow Leopard Server, it now servers two zones. And, now, it is resolving my local machines for the mydomain.priv zone.
YMMV. I did note that it wasn't totally necessary to do step 3, but I never really understood the need for the specialized domain, and keeping it around would have a copy of data that would just confuse things.
Hope that helps. That's been the only hiccup I've noticed updating to OS X Lion Server thus far.

Get error when passing server name to Crystal Reports in Visual Studio 2012

SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSDT BI) and SSIS on SQL Server 2012

This great blog entry titled
SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSDT BI), link below, highlights the lack of support for SSIS projects using SQL Server 2012, VS 2013 and SSDT BI for VS 2013. I see there is a new version
on SSDT BI for VS 2013 (12.0.2430.0, File Name: SSDTBI_x86_ENU.exe, Date Published: 10/27/2014) link below.
Does this version support SSIS projects using SQL Server 2012 using VS 2013 and SSDT BI for VS 2013?

Hi cjrinpdx,
According to the picture, it seems that we can use SSIS 2012 support is not included in SSDT-BI for VS 2013. And based on the previous versions, SSIS always different from SSRS, SSAS.
SSDT-BI for Visual Studio 2012 supports versions of SQL Server as follows:
SSAS project can target SQL 2012 or lower
SSRS project can target SQL 2012 or lower
SSIS project can target only SQL 2012
The following blog is for your reference:

Since I have no environment to test this at this moment,
I recommend you that submit the feedback at

Thank you for your understanding.

Known Issue: Windows Emulators Are Not Supported When Visual Studio Installed in a Virtual Machine (Windows 10 Insider Preview SDK and tools, April 2015 release)

If you install Visual Studio 2015 with the Windows 10 Mobile emulators in a virtual machine, setup will succeed but the emulators will not be available as valid debug targets.

The Windows Emulators require a physical machine that runs Windows 8.1 (x64) Professional edition or higher, and a processor that supports Client Hyper-V and Second Level Address Translation (SLAT). The emulators will not run when Visual Studio is installed
in a Virtual Machine (VM).
The emulators for Universal Windows app development work best with Windows 10.

Error installing SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013

Hi
I am trying to install SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 and am getting the following error
This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package.
I am running
Windows 8.1 x64
SQL Server 2014 Developer Edition x64
Visual Studio 2013 Professional
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Biztalk Developer

Could you please check if Windows Installer service is running and is in automatic startup mode.
The other thing is, if you’re running an x64-based SQL instance (64-bit), make sure to select “New Instance” on the Installation Type page, and NOT “Add features to an existing instance”.

Logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014

logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014 winds 8.1. Is this a common problem?
I have updated the latest drivers and have a few buttons programmed with keyboard shortcuts that used to work in previous versions of Photoshop but don't work now.
Scrolling with mouse in bridge stopped working in cc butI see it is now working.
any ideas?

Many Photoshop extensions are not compatible with Photoshop CC 2014 for Adobe removed support for Flash Panels in CC 2014. Many extensions panels are flash based. Check with the developer to see if their blendmein extension works with CC 2014.
Adobe does not maintain Photoshop so it backward compatible with prior versions of Photoshop. This brakes things like action scripts plugins extensions etc. Keep old version of Photoshop installed....

you mentioned that Terminal does not work at all for your MacBook Pro. What currently happens when you run Terminal? In what way does it not work?

in Bridge CC Tools - Photoshop - Batch does not work in Photoshop CC 2014. At first I didn't even see the option but I reinstalled Photoshop CC and now I see the menu option but when I try it there is a message that I need to use Photoshop CC.

BINGO !!!!
Thanks so much Woodsroad. I had the exact same problem with my Dell Windows 7 64 bit with AMD Radeon 6700 Video card.
All the video tests passed with flying colors.
The sniffer rename trick fixed the problem.
Thank goodness for the internet!

Lotus Notes Application in Visual Studio

Hi All,
My company currently has a old VB application running in lotus notes. This imports a XML file, calls a stored procedure on a SQL DB tranforms the file, calls another stored procedure, then loads the file data into the SQL DB.
We are now looking at migrating it to a modern platform. I was initially thinking of creating a new visual studio 2008 or 2010 SSIS solution. But I have found the rules of the transforming have not been documented and so are buried in the Lotus
Script\VB code & modules. So unless the rules can be documented into logic loops so I can't apply them to the XML nodes. I have also found Artin Soft
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/ff793478 free upgrade tool but this is for VB6.
So I have two questions.
1. Is there an lotus notes reference in Visual Studio 2010 for lotus notes classes such as NotesSession, NotesDatabase, NotesDocument? So the VB package could be opended and understood by visual studio.
2. Can anyone suggest another migration path from lotus script to VB.net?
Thanks

Hi,
Welcome to MSDN forum.
Your issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
and Visual Studio Editor， moreover
Lotus notes is third-party product,we don't support it.
Visual Studio itself does not support Lotus Notes script.
Visual Studio official does not provide some references for Lotus Notes. I can’t ensure whether you said Lotus Notes is identical to IBM Lotus Domino, based on
this document, IBM provides some supports for using Lotus Domino in Microsoft .Net App. So I suggest you to consult on Lotus Notes to check whether they provide some supports for migrating
Lotus Notes script to VS2010 Visual Basic .Net, I think that they can provide you better answer.
