Remove Filter  | Right now my company uses Crystal Reports for report documents. We are running into HUGE errors and limitations that we need to get rid of. Anyone have any suggestions for Crystal reports alternatives? We have a somewhat unique deployment patter, our customers all use our application on their own local … |
| | Does anyone know of a reliable view/editor for Word docs through a web interface? We've tried CKEditor, but my boss wants something closer to how Word works. |
| | My web application has the ability to process data from word docs and PDF files. We recently had a client who attempted to run files that are of a significantly larger size than anything we tested with. 50MB-500MB PDFs compared to our test files of 1MB-30MB files. If they don't … |
| | Right now the company I work for is using Microsoft enterprise library very extensively. From what I've found online recently, these database objects aren't intended for web (asp) usage, and are relatively bloated. I don't know how accurate my research is, but I do know we have optimization problems in … |
| | I need a way to get files from a server shared directory uploaded to a second server, but the user got to pick the files from their local PC and needed to see a progress bar. I decided to attempt this in SilverLight, however, my week of coding and modifying … |
| | Right now, I'm pushing my boss to update our company policies regarding HTML output and code standards. I have a custom validation tool built into my web browser (Google Chrome), and very few areas in DaniWeb get flagged for validation errors. Being as the drive for standards differs from company … |
| | I've done my own research on the subject, but I want to see what others think. I have a web application (intranet) that is currently written in ASP.NET 2.0. We're needing to update the UI so that we have more freedoms with it. (We are currently in the 10th circle … |
| | I'm trying to import a Visual FoxPro database into SQL. The database is a free table directory data base, and I can import all but 3 of the tables. All three tables that won't import give me the same error message, that the memo file is missing or invalid. I … |
| | We are trying to update an ASP.NET 2.0 application so that it no longer requires IE to be in Compatibility mode. We'd also like it to be browser independent. There is debate in our office as to the pros and cons of changing from our insanely complex nested table approach … |
| | I've been having some rather interesting conversations with colleagues, coworkers, and friends. We've been discussing how we started in our respective areas of expertise, and what tools we had available and what we used at that time. These discussions have a bit of redundancy to them, being as most of … |
| | We're having issues with database performance, and up till now, have done very little with indexing. We try to turn on full text indexes when available, but we do support (though we are phasing this out of our support)MSSQL2000, we try to advise our clients to use the newest available … |
| | I built a file upload control in Silverlight that uploads files to the web server. I use a custom HTTP Handler to handle the upload. What would be the best practice to detect a whether a client has disconnected prior to finishing the upload? I think this could go under … |
| | I was doing a search to help someone with an issue, and on my first page of results I found this... I was excited to see it. |
| | I have a question about logical search layouts. I'm currently rewriting an existing web application that tracks issues for our production product. The existing layout has all the criteria items in a table at the top of the page, buttons in a row that is centered directly beneath the table, … |
| | Right now we're having an issue with SQL, it's currently using 1.7GB of memory, and with the size and usage of our application, this isn't always enough. The server it's on is a 32 bit Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, with 15.9GB of RAM. Is there any way to break … |
| | Anyone have any recommendations for a source or version control software for team development that isn't visual source safe(my boss hates it with passion). We're currently looking into Team Foundation Server 2010, I know it's the replacement for VSS, but my boss doesn't know that, yet... Any other recommendations that … |
| | I have a large folder of word 2003 files (200+). I need a way to make sure that every file ends with the exact same characters. Some of these files already end with this characters so I cannot duplicate the ending. What I need is that every file, after it's … |
| | I'm designing my own custom case that will have all air inside the case being filtered. Does anyone know where to get a high powered fan that generates as little noise and static charge in the air as possible? After completion I'll share all specifications and pictures with whoever is … |
| | In an effort to give back to the community, I'd like to start writing tutorials. I'm just not sure what topics to start with, or what topics are generally needed. I'd rather not duplicate a topic already covered on other tutorial sites, but I know I could put a different … |
| | I have a suggestion for marking threads as solved. This may be available already, but I don't know how on here to do it. If we could mark a specific response to a thread as the solution, I think that will help people find answers to common questions a little … |
| | I need help troubleshooting a performance issue. I have a stored procedure that is selecting from 3 joined tables, and is hanging on the first time this procedure is running. Sometimes hanging so long that I get a timeout error. After the first run, it's faster, but still takes longer … |
| | I've been using DaniWeb off and on for a few years now, but this is the most active I've been with it. I realized today, that out of my numerous postings and replies, I've not yet introduced myself. I go by Fortinbra everywhere I can online. Even my PSN(playstation network …  |
| | In the last few years, a number of new technologies have popped up, died, shifted, etc. DaniWeb here has kept up with the changes, and I am grateful. There is a new technology though that has, to my surprise, actually taken off, and is making a name for itself. I … |
| | I'm curious. I've been taught when is the proper time for XML, and when it's better to use SQL. I know what the text book says about it, what does the IT real world say about it? When would you use SQL vs. using XML? |
| | I'm having an issue where my ASP.NET application stops returning search results, feigning a javascript AJAX error. The search functionality works 99% of the time. When investigating the problem on the server, IIS appears to be working just fine, but when I look at the log files, they are dated … |
| | I have an existing application that sends a word document to the browser via a UNC file path and uses JavaScript to simply open a new browser window using said path. This doesn't work in Word 2010, because of a change in the method used by Word to open the … |
| | I've searched the net high and wide for the answer, and yet came up with nothing. Right now, in out web.config file, we have our database connectivity stored in 2 different ways. We have our connection string, and we have it broken up into parts in our application settings. Crystal … |
| | We're using IE and an ASP.NET web application to open Word documents stored on a shared directory on a server. From ASP.NET we're passing the path to the file (\\server\path\file.doc) and in Word 2007 and older, using any version of IE, this works, even for multiple files at once. In … |
