Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2

Hello,
Is it possible to install ODAC 1110610 Beta 2 on Visual Studio Beta 2?

Yes it is, however there is a bug in VS beta that you will need to workaround. Please follow these instructions if you install ODT in VS beta 2 then find that you don't get the proper connection dialog (with the "test connection" button, etc):
1. Close your vs2008 beta 2
2. cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE
3. copy devenv.exe.config devenv.exe.config.org
5. notepad devenv.exe.config
6. Locate the <assemblyBinding> xml element under the <runtime> xml element. Scroll down the file and locate the </assemblyBinding> xml element
7. Add the following just before the </assemblyBinding> xml element
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Data.ConnectionUI" publicKeyToken="B03F5F7F11D50A3A" culture="neutral" processorArchitecture="MSIL"/>
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-9.0.0.0" newVersion="9.0.0.0"/>
</dependentAssembly>
8. Save the file and close notepad
9. Open a vs2008 beta2 command prompt
10. run devenv /setup
11. launch vs2008 beta 2. You should be able to create ODT connections now.

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,
Thanks for your post.
To using VS 2008 connect to TFS 2012/2013 or VSO, please install components follow the below order:
Visual Studio 2008
Visual Studio 2008 SP1
Team Explorer 2010
Visual Studio 2010 SP1
Visual Studio 2010 GDR

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,
Rich Elliott

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.
Thanks for your understanding.

Does office 2013 install affect visual studio 2008

had visual studio 2008 installed on the computer, 2 weeks ago I received office 2013 and now I get a PACKAGE LOAD FAILURE error

Hi,
Thanks for your post!
lt difficult to detect the problem occurs because of Office 2013. You should give us more information.
What's the details error of "PACKAGE LOAD FAILURE"?
Frist, we should make sure if you can successfully install the VS:
please use http://aka.ms/vscollect to gather the installation logs. You will find vslogs.cab from %temp% folder. Please upload the file to
https://onedrive.live.com/ and share the link here.
Second, try to collect logs when you open the VS. You can use Devenv.exe Command Line to collect logs for troubleshooting:
Create a log file (‘Devenv.exe /log’ ) on your drive. If this issue exists still, you could invest your log file to narrow down the issue and please share the log to OneDrive.
More information about Devenv.exe Command Line, you could refer the following link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ms241273(v=VS.80)
Also, you can follow up the pvdg42 advice, try to repair the VS to see whether the problem can occur.
Best Wishes!

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!

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?

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.

Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008 - dbf

Hello,
I use both Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 on same PC. I can not work with dbf files (format foxpro2x, dbase IV) in VS 2005 and VS 2008.
Q1. Work Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008 with database files - dbf (version foxpro2x, dbaseIV)? I get error -
Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer
Failed to load database information
or with dbf files work only Full version of Crystal Reports?
Q2. How re-install Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008. In setup Add/Remove features not exist Crystal Reports check box. I only Repair/reinstall all Visual Studio but after reinstall same error
Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer
Failed to load database information
3. When I can open sample project with Crystal Reports which use Crystal Reports (dbf file) this error is displayed:
Crystal Report Viever
Failed to load database information
Details: The database DLL "crdb_p2bxbse.dlll" could not be loaded.
4. I reinstal Crystal Report in Visual Studio 2005 - same error
5. I apply hotfix Crystal Reports for .NET 2005 - SP 1 - same error
Thank You
Ludek

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,
Hitesh Mangtani

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:
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
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.

Crystal Report X1 compatibility with Visual Studio 2008

We are migrating an application running on .NET 1.0 to .NET 3.5. Previously Crystal report X1 was working fine with .NET 1.0 however now when it has been migrated to .NET 3.5, we are able to generate crystal report but print and export functionality is not working.
Please confirm if Crystal report X1 is compatible with Visual studio 2008/.NET 3.5? We even updated Release 2 SP4 patch but that didn't solve the problem.
If crystal report X1 is not compatible with Visual studio 2008, which version is compatible so that we can buy the license for the same?

How to create dll in Visual Studio 2008 in Visual C++

Hello,
I have insatlled Visual Studio 2008. I have to create DLL in Project
type Visual C++.
Which Template i have to select to reate dll, MFC DLL or Class
Library?.
I have to call or import this dll in Windows Forms Application. How
can i do this. Please give details procedure to do this.

If we look at how AFX_CLASS_EXPORT and AFX_CLASS_IMPORT are defined in afxv_dll.h we see the following.
#define AFX_CLASS_EXPORT __declspec(dllexport)
#define AFX_CLASS_IMPORT __declspec(dllimport)
So, when exporting our classes from our DLL we want the class declarations from the DLL to look like this:-
class __declspec(dllexport) CMyClass : public CObject
And, when importing our C++ classes into our application we want the class declarations from the DLL to look like this:-
class __declspec(dllimport) CMyClass : public CObject
OK, so here's how I do things.
In the stdafx.h file for the export DLL, include two #defines at the bottom of the file like this:-
#define _MYLIB_DLLAPI_
#define _MYLIB_NOAUTOLIB_
Now, in the main header file for your DLL, say mylib.h (the main 'point of entry' header for your DLL that you will include in you application later), add the following at the top:-
// The following will ensure that we are exporting our C++ classes when
// building the DLL and importing the classes when build an application
// using this DLL.
#ifdef _MYLIB_DLLAPI_
#define MYLIB_DLLAPI __declspec( dllexport )
#else
#define MYLIB_DLLAPI __declspec( dllimport )
#endif
// The following will ensure that when building an application (or another
// DLL) using this DLL, the appropriate .LIB file will automatically be used
// when linking.
#ifndef _MYLIB_NOAUTOLIB_
#ifdef _DEBUG
#pragma comment(lib, "mylibd.lib")
#else
#pragma comment(lib, "mylib.lib")
#endif
#endif
Now, just declare all the C++ classes you want exported from the DLL like this:-
(Note: Any C++ classes not declared with MYLIB_DLLAPI will not be exported from the DLL)
class MYLIB_DLLAPI CMyClass : public CObject

Matt John

An error in Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008

Greetings from Peru,
We have a problem with one of the Crystal Reports products weu2019d like you to help us with. We work with Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008.
The error weu2019ve detected is in one of our systemu2019s reports; this report shows data inside frames. When the content to show is larger (in height) than the space left in the page, the container object of the report makes a line break keeping the title and the frame empty at the end of that page, but the information is shown in the next page. What we need is that not empty frame is displayed.
Weu2019ve tried to solve this problem by adjusting the report in different ways (by programming coding), but unfortunately this problem is related to how much data is displayed, because if this data fit in the space left in the page, the line break would not occurs and the data is shown at the end of the same page.
We hope you can help us with this issue. I look forward to your comments.

All I can think of is trying CR 2008 (v.12.x). You can obtain an eval copy from here:

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.
