Visual Studio and BPC 10.0
Hi all,
I'm a relatively new Planning Consultant and on a new project have the requirement of having an input screen for the allocation of time, for an individual, against a project.
Examples of the required input are:
- Allocate Nick Carter, to Project ABC, for 28 November 2011, Full Day (8hours).
- Allocate Joe Bloggs, to Project XYZ, from 28th November to 1st February, Full Days
Has anyone used Visual Studio to create an input screen, and maybe used a drag and drop design that integrates well with BPC.
There is also a requirement for Versions, i.e. Scenario 1, Scenario 2, which allow different planning options.
The BPC input screen, even with the Web UI 10.0 is limited, especially due to the way it presents data as numbers as opposed to text.
Any feedback or advice would be much appreciated!
Hi Sabine, thank you for the replies!
We are using BPC 10.0 for NetWeaver, and not MS.
The reassurance that it is technically possible if good for our Project as we can start to move forwards with the Bluerprinting. We are going to use NetWeaver Gateway to connect Visual Studio to SAP (BW and BPC).
We have done some mock-ups for Excel but have come accross some significnat limitations, some of which are column limits, and how we need the input cell, e.g. 8 (hours), to Project Name.
[The current solution looks like this|http://i44.tinypic.com/1o7hjr.jpg], and the way that we thought BPC Excel could look is like this: [BPC Excel Possible Design|http://www.freeimagehosting.net/newuploads/fef8f.jpg]
I have also found information that there are row and column limitations on excel that will restrict the volume of data we are required to show / input at any one time. (I found information [here|Maximum Number of Columns Exceeded Message; under Sakthi Jaganathan's post)
I'm not sure what you mean by Business Object Connector. From internet research it suggests it's a BOBJ connector for BI4 which we will be using for reporting.
Thanks again for your comments, you don't realise how much it helps us!

I have an application that is done using SSRS on visual studio and it connects to the report server on SQL server 2008 environment.
I've been changing the existing reports using visual studio 2008 and modifying the reports on the report server. How do I add a new report to the application ? I created a new report and deployed it on the report server but it didn't show up in the application.
I can access the application source code on visual studio 2010 and TFS (Team Foundation). Thanks.Hi,
I have a question. This application retrieves SSRS reports from the report sever. When I download the reports
from the SQL Server I can open them in visual studio 2008 but they don't open in visual studio 2010. I can access the application files on visual studio 2010 and team foundation server 2010. I was unable to open team foundation server 2008 on visual studio
2008. The issue is that I am unable to add a report with a new name to the application. I use visual studio 2008 to deploy the reports on the report server but it has to be the same name to be able to run the report from the application. I can deploy any report
on the report server but I can't access it from the application unless it has to be the same name as the present reports. If I keep the report the same name then it will replace the old report and the new report will run from the application. But only if it's
the same name. I guess when I add a new report to the application with a new name I am supposed to add a definition in the application C sharp files on visual studio 2010 so that the new report will show in the application. What's your opinion
? I have attached 2 images of the application and team foundation server 2010 and the report server.

C# Getting path of folder that is created in Visual Studio and it's located in app directory.
Alright i created folder that will contain video resources for my app.But now i need to connect it with my code.I need to get file path of folder that i created in Visual Studio,but it needs to work on other machines.I tryed Path.Combined(Environment.GetCurrentDirectory
+ @"Video\Lekcija1.mp4") but it didn't work.Any suggestions?If you set the Build Action of the Lekcija1.mp4 file to Content (right-click on the file in the Solution Explorer in Visual Studio) and the Copy To Output Directory property to Copy always or Copy if newer you could use the following code to get the absolute
path to the file:
string codeBase = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase;
string fullPath = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(codeBase) + "\\Video\\Lekcija1.mp4";
Hope that helps.

Morning all,
I've just been assigned a report-related project but I have not created much of anything in C# or .Net before!
I was wondering if someone could help me get started. Here are the specifications:
Basically, I am to create an automated report application. I have the query and I will include it further down
in this post. The page is to have a couple blanks to specify the Start Date and End Date and replace those dates in the query, and generate the report. What I need some help on is how to make the SQL query work in the application which I will connect to the
intended database to generate the report (basic I know, but I'm new at this) on Visual Studio 2010. I also need some help on programming the Start Date blank and End Date blank so that what the user types in for those blanks will replace the date fields in
the SQL query, then generate the report with the new dates.
I appreciate the help!
The SQL query and what the dates are replacing:

Could you elaborate more on what this code does in general?
Does it generate a table with the data between specified dates? If so, where is the table shown?
Where does one enter in the specified start and end dates on the Web Application? Do I have to create start and end date blanks and link them to the code for it to work?
Sorry for the inconvenience - I'm just really new at this. Thanks! -
Crystal Reports for Visual Studio and (Wcf) Web Services
I´m evaluating Crystal reports for Visual Studio 2010. I want to read data from a (Wcf) Webservice into the predefined Reports and deliver them to the Users in an ASP.NET Application. As far as I see reading Webservices via the XML/Webservice datasource works good in the Crystal Reports 2011 Applications - But I have Problems with the Integration of the XML/Webservice datasource in the CRVS2010 Environment.
I read your Article on sdn: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/13732
which helped us to enable the XML Datasource in the CRVS2010 environment on a Machine where Crystal Reports 2011 and VS2010 is installed, but this required copying DLL´s and installing the JRE.
But I´m not able to run the XML/Webservices datasource on a webserver in a ASP.NET Application where Crystal Reports 2011 is not installed (only the runtime) - the above post doesn´t help because the path structure is completely different on my machine. Is there a manual, which helps me to enable the XML datasoucre and the CRVS2010 runtime ?
I´m not sure if reading XML is the best practice for a new Project, especially after reading your article at http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1952093
I´m now evaluating ADO.NET XML as mentioned in your article, but I´m not sure if this is the right decision.
Is there a a new version for Visual Studio 2010 of the u2022csharp_web_adonet.zip example ?
BTW: All examples in the Sample Code for Crystal reports for Visual Studio 2010 reference Assemblies in Version 14, which are not present on my machine. I had to find/replave 14 through 13, before they are compilable. Did I made a mistake during installation ?Hi Henrik,
First of all you didn't make any mistake installing CRVS2010. It has assemblies with version 13.x
Now as far as patches are concerned ensure that you are on SP2. You can get runtime and patch from following:

You can opt for AD.NET as one of the datasource but what is the error/ warning you get when you use Web Serive as datasource?
You can find the latest samples created for CR2008 here

How open a report with Viewer 2008 without using Visual Studio and Java
Hi,
There is a way to open a report (with parameters) save in a web server with Crystal Report Viewer 2008 without using Visual Studio or Java ?
I've an asp page and i want to open this report using some command (I know asp, vbscript and html)
In the past it was very easy because we use CR 9, but now it's already many days im looking for a solution but seem impossible.
I know the craxdrt.dll is not included with Crystal Reports 2008.
It seem me i can use OpenDocument, but i'm not sure. Someone has some easy example to help me ?
Remember i have only Crystal report viewer 2008 on the server and on the clients.
Thanks in advanceIf you are looking to create a web application or view report through a web server using only Crystal Reports then you do have to either use Java, or .NET.
If you have Crystal Reports server or Business Objects Enterprise you can use OpenDocument to view managed reports but this does require one of our server products.

We cannot open a Crystal 2008 report with Visual Studio 2005
Is this just a backward compatibility issue or are we missing somthing?If you're using Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2005 (CR.NET version 10.2) to try and open a Crystal Reports 2008 report (version 12.0), then you're encountering a forwards-compatibility issues, for which there is no guarantee.
If you install Crystal Reports 2008 onto your VS 2005 machine, then you'd get the updated 12.0 components integrated into VS 2005.

Visual Studio and Winsock vs. Winsock2
Hi Folks,
First off, I'm a Mac guy who is still relatively new to Visual Studio 2003 and 2005. I have a question that I hope is simple for someone with Visual Studio experience to answer...
I am working on a plug-in that uses sockets and I was trying to use Winsock2 instead of Winsock (I used Winsock2 in my stand-alone test application, and figured I would stick with it my plug-in). My problem is that in order to get winsock2.h to successfully load in my plug-in code (without a ton of warnings/errors), it appears that I need to load winsock2.h before windows.h. I'm not sure how to do this in plug-in code, and I am hoping someone could shed some light on this for me.
My use of sockets isn't all that complex, so maybe I'm OK with using plain old winsock. I'm just really curious how one would go about using winsock2.h in a plug-in. Should I use the WS2_32.lib with the winsock2.h header file? That seems like a bad idea, so I'm using wsock32.lib.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!
Cheers!
-- JimWe use Winsock2 too, without problems. What we did was edit the Adobe file VCPlugInHeaders.h to look like this:
#if defined WINDOWS && defined _MSC_VER
// Include Winsock2.h first to stop Windows.h (via ShukHeaders.cp)
// including Winsock.h"
#include "Winsock2.h"
#include "ShukHeaders.cp"
#endif
See if that fixes it for you.

Tagged PDF, Visual Studio and Dynamic PDF
I am a noob with the Indesign but I have hands on experience with the Photoshop and Illustrator.
I am trying to create a tagged pdf form which will be used as a receipt after the web application is complete and the information are entered into that tagged pdf using Dynamic PDF.
I created the form with information like
Name Textbox
Address Textbox and so forth.
Dynamic pdf just prints the data and it doesn't matter if its textbox or not.
So, any suggestions on how to tag the pdf properly so that it read all the information in the form along with the information printed by the dynamic pdf?
I am using cloud indesign cc.Hi,
Please follow the following steps to tag pdf manually-
1. Choose Window > Utilities > Tags to display the Tags panel.
2. Choose View > Structure > Show Structure to display the Structure pane, to the left of the Document window.
3. Choose Add Untagged Items from the Structure pane menu.
4. Select a page item in the document.
5. Select a tag in the Tags panel.
Note the following suggested uses for certain imported tags:
Artifact : The Artifact tag lets you hide page items, such as page numbers or unimportant objects, when viewing the exported
PDF file in Reflow view, which displays only tagged items; see your Adobe Acrobat documentation. This is especially useful for
viewing PDF files on a handheld device or in other PDF readers.
Cell : Use this tag for table cells.
Figure : Use this tag for placed graphics. The Figure tag is applied to all untagged graphics placed in your document when you
choose Add Untagged Items.
Paragraph tags (P, H, H1–H6) : These tags have no effect on the exported PDF text when viewed in Reflow view. However,
they can be useful in some situations when exporting a PDF file to HTML format.
Story : Use this tag for stories. The Story tag is applied to all untagged text frames when you choose Add Untagged Items. For
example, suppose you have an InDesign document formatted with three paragraph styles: Head1, Head2, and Body. First,
map these paragraph styles to the H1, H2, and P tags, respectively. Next, export to PDF. Finally, when you export the PDF
document to HTML or XML in Acrobat, the paragraphs tagged as H1, H2, and P will display appropriately (such as with large
bold letters in H1) in a web browser.
i hope this will help you, in case not then let me know. -

Very slow running CUITs in both Visual Studio and Microsoft Test Manager
I've tried the exact same test cases on another less powerful computer and it runs perfectly. However on one machine it runs very slow. It seems to take ages finding execute each step. Not sure what is going on. Help greatly appreciated.
Hi Daithi,
Based on your issue, I suggest you could try to create a simple coded UI test such as you can record the Calculator action and then check if you still get the issue about
running CUITs very slow in VS.
In addition, I suggest you could try to delete all the temp files from your system and other temp files, or in short you can just log off and then log in back again....you'll definitely find your automation run faster.
There are two blogs shared us some suggestions to improve the coded UI test performance, I often use them, if possible, please check them.

How To: Use Visual Studio, IIS Express, and Adobe Edge Inspect to view local projects
You CAN view a Visual Studio project with Adobe Inspect. The work around takes a little bit of time.
This involves using IIS Express to run your Visual Studio project, which is mainly a setting in Visual Studio, a Firewall change, a few command line and IIS Express config change. It isn't actually all that bad, but will make your life A LOT easier.
Here are the steps. (Note these are steps I used for Visual Studio 2012 and your project is part of a solution project. Windows 7 or Windows 8)
1. If IIS in not turned on, turn it on.How to: Enable Internet Information Services (IIS) - this should install IIS Express as well.
2. In Visual Studio, find the port that Visual Studio will be using for your project by Running your web project (Debug), and note/write down/save the port number that shows up in the browser when the project launches. (ex. http://localhost:12345)
3. Add a NetShare Reservation (process for this will be different for Windows XP)
Go to your Command Line (CMD) in Windows and in c:\Windows\system32> type in
netsh http add urlacl url=http://yourIPaddress:yourPortNumber user=everyone
(ex. netsh add urlacl url=http://12.34.56.78:12345 user=everyone)
Hit Enter key. You should be a successful add reservation message
3. Go to your Windows Explorer (File system) and go to c:/Users/YourName/MyDocuments (or Documents)/IISExpress/config/ and open 'applicationhost.config'
In the 'applicationhost.config' file find your site in the <sites> section.
Example:
<sites>
<site name="WebSite1" id="1" serverAutoStart="true">
<application path="/">
<virtualDirectory path="/" physicalPath="C:\MyProjects\TestSite" />
</application>
<bindings>
<binding protocol="http" bindingInformation=":12345:localhost" />
</bindings>
</site>
</sites>
In this section ADD 2 new lines to the <bindings> section. Note add your own IP address and your own Computer Name
<binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:12345:12.34.56.78" />
<binding protocol="http" bindingInformation=":12345:MyComputerName" />
Save the config file.
4. Open up your Windows Firewall and go to 'Advanced Settings'. Here you want to create an Inbound Rule.
Right click on Inbound Rule and select New Rule
- Rule Type select 'Custom'
- Program leave this
- Protocol and Ports > Protocol Type select 'TCP' then Local Port select 'Specific Port' and fill in the port number you got from VS. Leave Remote Port alone.
- Scope
There are a few ways of doing this. Typically you would go the the Remote IP address and select 'These IP addresses: and select ADD > select 'Predefined set of computers' and choose Local Subnet. IF this does not work leave Remote IP addresses > Any IP address option selected instead.
- Action leave this
- Profile select Domain and Private
- Name put IISExpressWeb for the name
Select 'Finish'
5. Go to Visual Studio. (Note if you have multiple projects in your solution, choose your start up project. Right click on your project in Solution Explorer in VS and select 'Set as Start Up Project' )
Right click on your start up project again and you should see an option to 'Use IISExpress'
In the DEBUG dropdown (from the main menu bar at the top) select 'YourProjectName Properties'. Mine was the last one in the list with a wrench icon next to it.
This should open an new tab in your project, You should see a left hand list of option and a right hand column of options.
In the left column select 'Web' and in this tab select Use Local IIS Web server and select 'Use IIS Express' and type in your IP Address and port number (same as before) in the Project Url text box.
Save.
NOW, you should be able to run your project in Visual Studio and use Adobe Edge Inspect on your device and view new results in Chrome. You can develop from there.
If you still can not see it working, please be sure your device is on the same SubNet or Wireless network as your computer. If you are in a large network but the domains can still see each other, the Firewall Setting detailed above to allow Any IP Address in your Scope section.Hi CMosqueda,
Thank you for taking time to share this information with other users.

Hi,
I have a solution that used to contain one SharePoint 2010 project. The project is named along the following lines:
<Company>.<Product>.SharePoint - let's call it Project1 for future reference. It contains a number of features which have been named according
to their purpose, some are reasonably long and the paths fairly deep. As far as I am concerned we are using sensible namespaces and these reflect our company policy of "doing things properly".
I first encountered the following error message when packaging the aforementioned SharePoint project into a wsp:
"The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters."
I went through a great deal of pain in trying to rename the project, shorten feature names and namespaces etc... until I got it working. I then went about gradually
renaming everything until eventually I had what I started with, and it all worked. So I was none the wiser...not ideal, but I needed to get on and had tight delivery timelines.
Recently we wanted to add another SharePoint project so that we could move some of our core functinality out into a separate SharePoint solution - e.g. custom workflow
error logging. So we created another project in Visual Studio called:
<Company>.<Product>.SharePoint.<Subsystem> - let's call it Project2 for future reference
And this is when the error has come back and bitten me! The scenario is now as follows:
1. project1 packages and deploys successfully with long feature names and deep paths.
2. project2 does not package and has no features in it at all. The project2 name is 13 characters longer than project1
I am convinced this is a bug with Visual Studio and/or the Package MSBuild target. Why? Let me explain my findings so far:
1. By doing the following I can get project2 to package
In Visual Studio 2010 show all files of project2, delete the obj, bin, pkg, pkgobj folders.
Clean the solution
Shut down Visual Studio 2010
Open Visual Studio 2010
Rebuild the solution
Package the project2
et voila the package is generated!
This demonstrates that the package error message is in fact inaccurate and that it can create the package, it just needs a little help, since Visual Studio seems to
no longer be hanging onto something.
Clearly this is fine for a small time project, but try doing this in an environment where we use Continuous Integration, Unit Testing and automatic deployment of SharePoint
solutions on a Build Server using automated builds.
2. I have created another project3 which has a ludicrously long name, this packages fine and also has no features contained within it.
3. I have looked at the length of the path under the pkg folder for project1 and it is large in comparison to the one that is generated for project2, that is when it
does successfully package using the method outlined in 1. above. This is strange since project1 packages and project2 does not.
4. If I attempt to add project2 to my command line build using MSBuild then it fails to package and when I then open up Visual Studio and attempt to package project2
from the Visual Studio UI then it fails with the path too long error message, until I go through the steps outlined in 1. above to get it to package.
5. DebugView shows nothing useful during the build and packaging of the project.
6. The error seems to occur in
CreateSharePointProjectService target called at line 365 of
Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.targetsCurrently I am at a loss to work out why this is happening? My next task is to delete
project2 completely and recreate it and introduce it into my Visual Studio solution.
Microsoft, can you confirm whether this is a known issue and whether others have encountered this issue? Is it resolved in a hotfix?
Anybody else, can you confirm whether you have come up with a solution to this issue? When I mean a solution I mean one that does not mean that I have to rename my namespaces,
project etc... and is actually workable in a meaningful Visual Studio solution.Hi
Yes, I thought I had fixed this my moving my solution from the usual documents to
c:\v2010\projectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline
This builds ok, but when I come to package I get the lovely error:
Error 2 The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters. C:\VS2010\ProjectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline\VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart\Features\Feature1\Feature1.feature VisualDetailedProjectTimeline
Now, the error seems to be related to
Can anyone suggest what might be causing this. Probably some path in an XML file somewhere. Here is my prime suspect!
<metaData>
<type name="VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimeline, $SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$" />
<importErrorMessage>$Resources:core,ImportErrorMessage;</importErrorMessage>
</metaData>
<data>
<properties>
<property name="Title" type="string">VisualProjectTimelineWebPart</property>
<property name="Description" type="string">My Visual WebPart</property>
</properties>
</data>
</webPart>
</webParts>
.... Unless I can solve this I will have to remove the project and recreate but with simple paths. Tho I will be none the wiser if I come across this again.
