New to Visual Studio 2008, not new to CR - but have question

Hi,
I started a position to build reports for a small company. They use VS 2008 and Crystal 2008 (basic). I am not new to Crystal Reports, been using it since version 4.0. But I am new to integrating it into Visual Studio or using it to deploy reports via a web application.
I was able to create a dataset, connect Crystal to the Dataset in Visual Studio and design a report.
There are two tabs on the bottom of the Crystal Window - one is to the design side and one is to preview the main page of the report.
So here in lies the problem - when I go to view the results - there are none. It is random or dummy data being presented in Visual Studio 2008.
I have scoured MSDN and SAP forums looking for help in this. I see other posts that elude to the same issue, but --there has to be some way to see the data in Visual Studio.
Can someone explain to me why I don't see the real data from the dataset? And more importantly where is the tutorials for Visual Studio 2008 and Crystal Reports 2008?
Thanks so much for your help!

Hi,
I have also seen the same, that is report displays dummy data at my end however when you run the report from application you get the data that is when you pass the dataset to the report at runtime and not while previewing the report. I believe this is because when we use datasets to design a report we consider the schema of the report mainly not data.
If you mean that you do not get any data in the report then I would suggest you to use the below mentioned code to generate an xsd file, after filling up the dataset so that the report schema and the dataset schema matches.
datasetObject.WriteXml("c:\\temp\\myData1.xml",XmlWriteMode.WriteSchema);

AG.

Using Crystal Reports with Visual Studio 2008

I have bin using visual studio 2008 for a while. I have just started using Crystal Report (which came with Visual studio) . I have an Access database connected with 3 tables, the first two table has two test fields and one index field, the third table has two text fields and two index field (of which one relates too one of the other tables).
I have generated a crystal report on one of the tables using the wizard. I have then placed the crystalreportviewer in a form (as a test). When I run the resulting form, all I get is the column heading label but no fields being displayed. There is data in the table. All I need to know is how do is make sure that the reports are accessing the data in the table, through the datasets???.

Hi,
This issue might be caused because your VS2008 did not yet install BIDS report project. So, please open the New Project dialogue to check if there is Business Intelligence Development Studio component in the Project Types pane in your vs 2008. If it
is not there, install this component (can from the SQL server intallation client tools) so that you can open Reporting Services 2008 .rptproj files in the VS2008.
thanks,

The package might be corrupted.

if some body know this problem, please help me to resolve my problem :(

It is due to a connection manager being deleted.
Oftentimes fixable by introducing it back. Sometimes the package even runs successfully even w/o it.
But if you can create a new package anew.

.ard file not created - visual studio 2008

Hi, I'm creating addon installer for SAP B1 2007 SP1 PL05 running on Windows Server 2008 virtual machine. Visual Studio 2008 and B1DE 2.0 are installed on a Windows 7 virtual machine.
I followed the steps to create new project using SAP B1 AddOnInstaller .NET Wizard. The AddOnRegDataGen.bat ran automatically when the wizard finished, and I also manually ran the .bat file, but in the bin folder only these 4 files were created:
Installer.exe, Installer.vshost.exe, Installer.vshost.exe.manifest, Installer.xml
The .exe file is not using the name I gave to the Installation project, and .ard file is missing.
In AddonRegDataGen.bat the version is "20090901" - it only contains numbers, so this could not be the problem.
Please help!

Hi Yi,
Could you take a look at AddonRegDataGen.bat under AddOnRegDataGenFile folder?
Can you find AddOnRegDataGen.exe path as indicated in the 1st line of AddonRegDataGen.bat?
Typically it is under:
"C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One SDK\Tools\AddOnRegDataGen\AddOnRegDataGen.exe"
Please be sure SDK component installed and correct the batch file with the right path of AddOnRegDataGen.exe.
Then run the batch manually. Or you can create ARD with AddOnRegDataGen.exe directly.
Kind Regards, Yatsea

Hi Luis,
It looks like you are working with a debug build:
'prueba2_oci.exe': Loaded 'C:\Users\Usser3\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\prueba2_oci\Debug\prueba2_oci.exe', Symbols loaded. <=== I see Debug in the path, so this looks like a debug build.
But then further down in your output I see this:
'prueba2_oci.exe': Loaded 'C:\instantclient_11_1\vc9\oraocci11.dll' <=== This is the release build of OCCI dll not the debug build.
You appear to be mixing debug and release libraries which will not work correctly.
This is in the following step in the blog post:
"Expand Configuration Properties node, expand Linker node, select Input item, enter "oraocci11d.lib" for a debug build or "oraocci11.lib" for a release build."
If you are creating a debug build you need to use oraocci11d.lib as input to the linker.
You use oraocci11.lib as input to the linker for the release build.
For your reference, this is what you should see in the output window in Visual Studio for the debug execution:

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. Suffice it to say I have a reliable environment to program in with this 10.2.0.1.0 version that I am running now, and the connection time has not changed, it is still minimum 20 seconds load time, sometimes up to 25.

Visual Studio 2008 on a Macbook Air with Parallels/VMWare

Hi,
I am looking to purchase an apple laptop to replace my ageing Windows behemoth. I am a developer who writes software on both the Windows and OSX platforms. At the moment, I have to write the Mac apps on my iMac, and the Windows apps on the laptop.
Now the time has come to upgrade, I want to have the best of both worlds, and have both XCode and Microsoft Visual Studio available on the same machine - hence looking at virtualisation on the mac platform.
Has anyone tried running Visual Studio 2008 on the Macbook Air over either Parallels or VMWare? How does it hold up?

With a 15 inch MacBook Pro:
I have VS Pro 2008 running in a Windows XP VM under VMWare and, at the same time, Windows Server 2003 with IIS and SQL (for development - not production!!!) running as a separate VM. I've also watched movies and used iTunes while doing this - unplugged. Sometimes the fan kicks in, but otherwise it's pretty good. With Unity running, all the unnecessary Windows nastiness is hidden away.
I don't know that I'd do this with an Air (personally, I can't wait to get one of the new 17s - I never considered the Air as the screen is way too small for coding, viewing sites, running SQL, checking the event viewer, etc.)
Oh, and get lotsa hard disk space!

Visual Studio 2008 Toolbox - i can use crystal reposts 2008

Hi
I have a strange problem. I reintall my machine with a new copy of windows vista 32 bits, then I install the visual studio 2008 Pro (not install de crystal reports basic). Then I install de crystal reports 2008.
In the vs2008 toolbox donu2019t appears the icon to use de crystal reports view. I try to add this items from de list (.net frameworks components) but they are no there. I try view in de c:\windows\assembly in they are there.
I can I put in the vs2008 ?
Thanks
Jorge Rocha

Hi Jorge
It seems that you are having issue with Visual Studio .Net.
Post your question in :Crystal Reports and Xcelsius » .NET Development - Crystal Reports.
That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there. Also, all .NET SDK queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
Thanks

Error Ora-604 on connect from Visual Studio 2008 to Oracle database

Hello!
I have installed Oracle 9.2.0.6 Database, Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and today I succesfully installed ODP.NET 1110621.
I wrote a simple console application like this:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Oracle.DataAccess.Client;
using Oracle.DataAccess.Types;
using System.Data;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
OracleConnection c = new OracleConnection();
c.ConnectionString = "Data Source=(DESCRIPTION="
+ "(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=192.168.1.1)(PORT=1521)))"
+ "(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=ssss)));"
+ "User Id=user;Password=pwd;";
c.Open();
OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand();
cmd.CommandText = "Select * from CATEGORY_TABLE";
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.Connection = c;
OracleDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
while (dr.Read())
Console.WriteLine(dr[0].ToString() + " " + dr[1].ToString());
dr.Dispose();
cmd.Dispose();
c.Dispose();
Console.ReadLine();
at line c.Open(); appear runtime error : ORA-604 Error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
How to solve it?

Your issue is not SQL and PL/SQL so much as .NET so I would suggest you ask the question in the "Windows and .NET" forum.
But a couple of thoughts:
1. Your database is undoubtedly not at "HOST=192.168.1.1"
This IP address is generally the address of the router not the server.
2. Why would you install an unpatched version of software so old it is in desupport mode and then try to work with it using a current
version of a Microsoft product? Would you be comfortable installing a 10 year old version of a Microsoft product and expect it to
work well with Oracle 11gR1?

Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008

We are currently using Visual Studio 2005 w/Crystal Report 11.5. We have been unable to migrate to Visual Studio 2008 up until now because the only version of Crystal Reports that was supported for Visual Studio 2008 was version 10 I believe, and that version did not contain some of the features that we are using in version 11.5.
I see that there is now an upgrade available to integrate Crystal Reports 2008 with Visual Studio 2008. My question is will this version of Crystal Reports give us the same or more features that we are currently getting with Crystal Reports 11.5?

Hi Clint,
It is a newer version so you should only gain functionality and not lose any from XI R2.
Make sure you use Crystal Reports 2008 Service Pack 0 as it is the version that is supported with VS.NET 2008.

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.

Registration Key for Visual Studio 2008 Express

When trying to register Visual Studio 2008 Express, I get directed to a page that no longer exists. How am I supposed to get a registration key for it?
I don't actually need the GUI, just the command line compiler. Is the compiler affected by the registration?
And I can not move to a newer version because of compatibility issues. The newest version that I can use is 2008.
Thanks.

You really have no choice. Visual Studio 2008 Express is no longer supported. It's time to move on.
The only way out, if you really really really can't evolve to a newer version (and I really question why you can't) is to purchase a retail version of Visual Studio 2008.

ODAC 11.2.0.3.0 with Visual Studio 2008 SP1

Hi,
Yesterday I installed the latest version on ODAC 11.2.0.3.0 on my machine. Now when I am trying to add a new ADO.NET Entity Data Model to my project, it doesn't show me my Oracle Database there when I select "Generate from Database". Also when I select New Connection try to add one explicitly, I dont see "Oracle" in the "Choose DataSource" option.
I am using Visual Studio 2008 SP1.
Please do someone know the solution to this issue.
Thanks,
