I can't believe the Confusion!
After spending DAYS trying to deploy a very simple app, I still can't find a solution. I keep finding post of people spending weeks tying to deploy apps! All seem confused as to which modules to use or not use.
Simply put;
Iu2019m running the full version CR 2008 and VS 2008 Pro. In a Windows VB project, I have an imbedded report that pulls data from 1 table.
Using the VS Setup and Deployment Project, Iu2019m deploying the program via Windows Installer Deployment (MSI).
There's no Crystal Server involved.
What in the world do I need to have in the Prerequisits or Project output (or whatever)?
The only dependency that is detected is Microsoft .Net Framework.
The SAP site is a BIT difficult on which to find information.
please, please, - help us!!!
Thank you for saving countless people's sanity, although it to late for some of us.
The deployment wiki I linked earlier has all the information you need.
It has the direct downloads for the redist, the click once deployment, and the merge modules for CR 2008 SP2 that are used for deployment.
It also has links to the developer guide for CR 2008 which has an entire section that walks you through step by step on deploying web and windows applications.
I am not understanding what further information you need.

Can't believe the caching bug is STILL there
Hi,
I MUST be missing something. It can't be true that this has not been fixed after so many years.
So well, the problem is, every time you load an external asset or file, say for example using a Loader object or a URLLoader object (the same happened in AS2 with MovieClipLoader, LoadVars, XML.load() etc etc, and even before with loadMovie, etc) - every time you load a file, the Flash Player caches that file, and this is independent from your browser: it is Flash Player's own (and primitive) caching mechanism.
Whenever you load a file with the same URL again, no matter whether the file has been changed or not, Flash Player will use the cached copy, and there's NO WAY to prevent that - there are a few workaround that I will discuss later but they don't solve the problem completely, besides being terribly combersome.
Now, the HTTP protocol has a wonderful mechanism to manage the caching of files in an intelligent way, which has been working for years and, I think, was invented even before flash existed, however at least 10 years ago, and it works fine.
If an HTML page has an IMG tag with an image, for example, and if the browser has already a cached version of the image with that URL, the browser will first ask the server for that file and declare it has a cached version with date xxx; if the server's file is not newer than xxx, then the server replies that the file has not changed and the browser can use its cached version (or insist to redownload it if he wishes). But if the file on the server is newer, the server will reply with the new file, and the browser will NEVER show an obsolete cached version of the image (or whatever file).
Now, I don't know why, Flash Player was designed in a very primitive way that ignores this whole mechanism provided and standardised by the HTTP protocol. Flash Player will ALWAYS use a cached version of the file if he has one, it won't worry about veryfying whether it is obsolete or not.
So, unless the user clears its cache, whenever you update an xml, txt, jpg or whatever file that is loaded within your flash application, users that have previously visited the page may still see the old version.
Now, there's an easy workaround for ensuring that a cached version of the file is NEVER used, which is appending a "?somerandomname="+n to the filename, where n is obtained for example as n=(new Date()).value(); in order to ensure that it is always different.
This way, the complete url of the file is always different and the cached version will never be used.
However, this is not a solution either. For small text files it is ok, but for images and swf's for example, you DO want the cached file to be used IF it is not obsolete. Otherwise, returning visitors will always have to wait for the complete download time of everything, including files that have been downloaded yesterday and have not been modified.
So, this problem has been solved ages ago by the HTTP protocol, but the Flash Player is naive and ignores it.
I used to use 2 workarounds: the one I have mentioned for small files (texts, xml's), and the following one for files that can be updated every once in a while:
In the main html page, I append "?lastupdate=dddddd" to the swf name, where dddddd is a manually edited date of the last time something relevant has been updated. So for example:
<object ....... etc etc> <param name="movie" value="mainswffile.swf?lastupdate=20090625"/>... <embed etc etc etc src="mainswffile.swf?lastupdate=20090625"/></object>
Or something like that.
When I update some of the files that are to be loaded, I manually edit the "lastupdate" thing in the html.
Then in the ActionScript programming I use the _root.lastupdate variable to append to the filenames of images or assets I load.
All this is horribly cumbersome and error-prone. Image you deploy a website to a client that will be able to update his own texts and images: you have either to explain him how to edit the html file also, or create some complicated server-side or client-side script to manage the cache-avoiding system. That is, reinventing the wheel, in this case the cache.
Every time a new version of the player was released, I expected it to fix the stupid caching problem and to make my cumbersome tricks obsolete and unnecessary.
I expected to see that the new version would make proper use of HTTP caching protocol specifications, and use cached files ONLY when they are not outdated, after verifying it with the server according to the HTTP protocol.
Every new version of the player was a disappointment.
Then I hope the new version of the language, Action Script 3.0, would fix this.
No, it seems it doesn't.
I've done some tests with AS3 and with my great and sad surprise, the caching "bug" is still there.
Well, the bug, not the "bug": this is a bug proper, because there's no reason why it should work this way.
So, my question is.
Maybe am I missing something? Is there a way, by using some method or property of URLLoader, Loader and/or URLRequest, to tell Flash Player to use the cache in an intelligent way? I mean, in a not-astonishingly-stupid way?
Note that I'm not talking about forcing it to NOT USE cache at all: I mean using a cached version when it is appropriate, and redownloading the file when needed, as all decent http application have done for years.
Perhaps there IS a way to solve this.... It should be the default behaviour and should be transparent, but however, if there is a SERIOUS fix (not a hackaround), that would at least solve the problem.
Do anybody know of a method that really works?
(I have read of people trying by using http headers with caching directives but without success; or in the best case maybe they were able to force never-caching, which is NOT a solution as I explained)
Thanks in advance.
And if there is any Adobe developer listening, please fix this bug since it is really a shame that an application written in 2008 or 2009 suffers from a problem that was elegantly and definitely solved in the XX century.
Regards,
m.I wrote a long reply and when I posted it it vanished.
I had even control+c'opied it before submitting but it didn't even get into my clipboard.
Shame on this forum (sorry to say that, but that's what I have to say).
So, I'll try to write it again but it won't be the same: the amount of rage is augmented.
Thank you BWolfe for letting me know that Flash now (since last year) has a bug management system. It was also such an enormous shame that it didn't have one.
Adobe used to confuse bug reports with feature requests; now this kind of confusion is still partially there and it is reflected by the voting thing, which is an absolute aberration. In a decent bug management system, the developers take the responsibility to give the bugs the priority they deserve; and no matter how low the priority, even the smallest bug ALWAYS get into the queue.
Now this bug we are discussing has been well known for AT LEAST EIGHT YEARS and I am not exaggerating at all, as I started using flash in 2001 and the issue was already mentioned here and there in forums etc; probably some blind people didn't see it as a bug (rather as a situation you have to face or work around), but it was known. And the very solution, as I already pointed out, was there even before Flash was conceived (well, for the sake of scientifical rigour, I should say, before Flash was commercialized): the HTTP protocol has the capability to perfectly manage file caching in a manner transparent to the higher layer.
So, since I don't believe that nobody at Adobe (formerly Macromedia) has heard about a bug that every intermediate-level actionscript developer in the world knows of, it is already kind of a shame that we have to report it in 2009, but that's ok. But that we have to get votes, no, that's an insult.
Jesus, ActionScript is a programming language, man, A PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE... it is not like Photoshop or Premiere; and it seems like in so many years, people who manage it haven't yet realised it completely.
Big Brother contestants should be voted. Feature requests may be voted. Bugs cannot be voted should just be fixed one by one as soon as possible.
Well, sorry for the rant and thank you for the answers.
Hope this gets through this time. -
I can't believe the customer service
I was with at&t for years and I left because I thought it would be cheaper through verizon. I was soooo wrong and if I had known that I would converse with someone like Kenya a manager from verizon finance is extremely rude.I tried to talk with her and she plowed over me like what I was saying was of no value to her. I have been in customer service for 10 years plus although I am a customer I know how I have to maintain professionalism and being pleasant with my customers. If I would have known this was the kind of business that they put forward I would have stayed with at&t. I am going to look into it when my contract is up this with verizon. Although at the end of the day I spoke with diane from customer service who was a breath of fresh air after speaking to Kenya who was extremely RUDE and I pitty the next person who has to speak with that PMS queen on a power trip.....
Krystal78, I'm very sorry to hear that you received rude customer service from one of our financial service managers. I certainly don't want you to feel this type of behavior is at all acceptable. We strive to have excellent customer service so that our customers know they are appreciated. I'm glad you were able to receive excellent service from Diane the next day, and this is the type of customer service you should expect from Verizon Wireless. Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.

Each Company, ex. MSN, Google, etc., want to establish absolute and total dominance ; that means, likewise, prying into your privacy as and when they like. This is absolutely disgusting. And these jerks want to run the world ! God save us ! If we were to say they're still wet behind the ears, we'd fall short ; if we said their malice has not met their match - even if u include hell, satan and all the devils with it, we'd still fall short. They believe in one thing, and one thing only : money ! As if they were an avante-garde at this !

What feature does iPad have in placement of flash player. Not having access to many web sites is killing the iPads appeal?;,
Not to sounds rude, but this issue has been covered so much in the media that I find it hard to believe that people still don't know. However all iOS devices, never and will never support flash natively. Google "apple adobe flash war". There are some alternatives, try skyfire browser in the app store. Not perfect but might help. None the less, most sites these days support html5 video which runs on iPad. I am actually having hard time running across a site which doesn't support iPad. however that is my personal experience based on my personal interests.

I must have the iphone..... Will anything work with t-mobile???
If you must have the iPhone in the USA, your choices are AT&T or Verizon. T-Mobile has a great selection of phones, but not the iPhone.
Last March, an agreement was announced under which AT&T will acquire T-Mobile USA. That won't happen for at least 12 months. Here is a FAQ about that: http://newsroom.t-mobile.com/articles/more-information-att-acquires-tmobile -
Can't believe the 10gb of data increased
when will data costs go down. Verizon recently lowered costs in the lower gb plans but raised 10gb by $20. As cell carriers get more competitive, like AT&T data rollover, you would think Verizon would try to hold on to long time customers. I know that I'm always looking for an alternative because I feel taken advantage of.
Yes, if you don't pay attention to the prices of Verizon's services you MAY feel that a price has increased when a special low price promotion stops being offered on a data tier. For those of us who like to keep an eye out for a way to lower our Verizon bill, though, we are aware the price is now just back to its normal amount of $100. Many of us, myself included, took advantage of the promo while it was available and now have 10 GB of data for $80 thru Verizon.
I am sure there will be similar promos available in the future, you just have to keep an eye out for them. -
How can i get the intValue of a Object?
Now, I can't believe the result and I don't know why?Somebody help me!
My codes:
Object aobj[] = (Object[])vector.elementAt(i);
System.out.println("Mxxh1: " + aobj[j] );
int k = ((Integer)aobj[j]).intValue();
System.out.println("Mxxh2: " + k );
I can get the result:Mxxh1: 2;but I can't convert the Object to intValue,why?Yes, it must be a an instance of the class (or one of its assignable base classesO that you are trying to cast it to. Casting does not convert objects to new types.
But, since it is really a BigDecimal, simply cast the Object reference to that and call intValue on it.

Help I can't see the icons inside my folders
I upgraded yesterday to 7.0 and now I can't no longer see the apps inside the folders. I have tried all the features in the settings and still no go. Putting text to biggest size helped a bit but I still can't not enlarge the icons inside the folders or change the background scrappy clear color to help see the tiny icons.this is the first time ever that I had to complaint to apple. I hate complaining but the only choice I have left is to take all my apps from inside the folder icons and that will make me have about 15 or 20 desktop pages with icons? That will be too many pages. I am desperate here... Please help me. Thanks.
Nvm. Omg I can't believe the picture I had selected as my background picture made also my background color change according to the picture I select from my camera roll in my background inside my folders...So that was causing the problem all along. I changed my background picture for a darker one and I was finally able to see my icons. Before they were like turning invincible color or faded tru the color added by the picture I selected as background picture for my entire desktop... Why can't Apple say these things to us? Now the problem is solved I can see my icons now... Never again I an selecting a picture that makes the icons faded w the color or blend w the background color and turn them like see tru.. Thanks for the reply,, have a nice day...my problem is now solved..

I am confused about something. How do I read a book on my MacBook Pro? I can't find the iBook app anywhere, which is what I use on my iPad. The book I want to read is in my iTunes but I can't click on it. Some of my iBooks show up in my iTunes but they are "grayed" out. The only books that respond in iTunes are audiobooks and that's not what I'm looking for. Is this a stupid question?
Nevermind - I answered my own question, which is I CAN"T READ ANY BOOKS I purchased in iBooks on my MacBook Pro. If I want to read on my mac I have to use Kindle or Nook. Which means any book I've already purchased through iBooks has to be read on my iPad. Kind of a drag because there are times when it's more convenient for me to read while I'm sitting with my Mac.

How do you move a file to the trash with ONE keystroke (Can't believe I'm wasting time on this!)
Everytime I want to send a file to the trash, I have to either perform some kind of key combination/shortcut or use the trackpad/mouse, right click and select "move to trash", or drag the file(s) to the trash! This is absolutely ridiculous. Why can't I just press the delete button??? I cannot take it anymore! It's such a waste of time.
After some research, I finally found a post with the answer I was looking for from user par larsson
Re: How delete a file in mac os x?
"You can also go into System Preferences and make a new keyboard shortcut. I turned one of the function keys into a "Move To Trash" key.
1. No need to use the mouse for something that should be simple and quick.
2. Single button press just like in Windows."
Seriously!
Now the problem is how do you do this?
1. I went to the system prefs > Keyboard > Keyboard and checked "use F1, F2, etc... as standard function keys.."
2. Under keyboard shortcuts, I selected "Application Shortcuts" and clicked on the "+" sign
3. I selected the finder application, entered "Move To Trash" in the action box, and F12 as the key (because it's next to "delete")
That did not work. It just opened the dashboard instead.
4. I went back to "keyboard shortcuts" and found F12 was already assigned to open the dashboard. So I unchecked it and tried again.
That still didn't work. I would select the file to be moved to trash, press F12, and after an error "beep" sound, the last file in the folder was highlighted.Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU DID IT! I cannot believe it!
I changed "Move To Trash" to "Move to Trash" and selected a file. I had lost all hope, so I took a minute to prepare myself for yet another moment of deep frustration. Then I pressed F10, and bang! the file was trashed!!! It took me a couple minutes to actually believe what just happened. Thank you so much! If I could, I would "like" you as many times as I can physically hit the "Liked" button!
PS: what the heck is wrong with Apple though??? Wrong instructions, incorrect help instructions on their own site. The chances of figuring this out before having a nervous breakdown were like one in a million (approximately, I did not actually do the math). Last week, the keyboard and the trackpad stopped responding on my brand new macbook pro for a couple hours. I was not the only one with this problem. Apparently, this was from a design flaw, which means it could happen again at any time. iMovie doesn't work. TextEdit keeps crashing all the time. Emptying the trash can take hours.
Since 2000, I bought a PMac G4 Quicksilver, a used PMac G3 Blue, a used iBook G4, a used Pismo PBook G3, a used Graphite iMac G4, a used iMac G3 (green, 233MHz I think) and I already had more problems with this brand new macbook pro than will all the other macs combined... For such an expensive machine, with 16GB of RAM, that's a little dissapointing, especially from Apple. Maybe I'm just not lucky.
Anyways, thanks again! Best moment of 2014! -
The Apple helpdesk told me that my iPhone 4 does not have the function to keep sent mails stored. I cannot believe that. My iPhone 4 has a Sent box, I have checked the Sent box in Configuratieo--> E-mail, ...Calender..,but the Sent box is always empty after I have sent an E-mail. I know that the E-mails arrive at their destinations. How can I activate the Sent box?
lol the person you talked to at Apple was not very bright.
Of course you can have sent items in your mail on the iPhone 4. I have mine there all the time.
Sounds like you might have issues with the software.
I recommend trying a reset, send email and see if that goes to the sent items directory
If not do a restore.

In Photoshop Elements 11 attempting to blend two photos (layering one on another) I click on brush and get a smart brush which doesn't do what the instructions say it will do. I can get the eraser to do what I want. Why the confusion???
I click on brush and get a smart brush which doesn't do what the instructions say it will do.
The Brush tool (Keyboard B) has several different brushes in the same slot. Right click on the brush icon and you will see them, or press B sequentially.
The Smart Brush tool (Keyboard F) has two items in the slot.
Since you did not provide reference to "the instructions", it is difficult to remedy the "confusion." that exists.
I suspect that the recipe calls for a mask, and painting with a black brush to mask out certain areas.
It would help if you post the instructions and what your goal is with more specificity. -
Recharging my iPod shuffle (3rd gen.) on my 2009 iMac (OS 10.5.8) goes extremely slowly (via usb port at the back). This is mainly because recharging stops when my mac goes to sleep.
