I saw in an application that it will allow to edit VFP9 report within that application. I have searched a lot but cannot find the solution for this. Can anyone help me on this?
Above is the picture of the application that will allow to edit the report at runtime.
Please tell me how can I provide the ability to edit VFP9 report at runtime within my application to my end users.
It is actually very simple. In VFP, Create Report and Modify Report command is available at run time.
Report files are tables. At runtime you could get a copy of an existing report and modify that one, or create one from scratch and modify that one. ie:
Use (_samples+'data\Customer')
Create Report mySampleReport ;
from Customer Column ;
fields Cust_id, Company, Contact
Modify Report mySampleReport

I've been reading online about either using RDLC or RDL reports however, I'm not sure if this is correct/best path for creating reports.
Any other recommendations are very much appreciated it.
MVC is a style of web development that doesn't really have anything to do with reporting. Your options are basically (1) create "reports" as web pages that dump data to the screen, or (2) use a report engine like SSRS (which uses .rdl) or BIRT. The first option is terrible if anyone ever wants to save or print the report. It's difficult to get it to page correctly or even group and sort things they way you want. Reporting engines handle all of that for you, so it knows how much data will fit onto a page given the paper size and margins you've set, and they have built-in methods for exporting the data to PDF/Word/Excel, etc. They also make it easy to add headers, footers, page x of y, etc.
For SSRS you'll need a SQL database with SSRS installed, and it serves reports up via its own version of IIS. This usually means that you'll need a hyperlink on your MVC app that points to the report's URL on the report server. You can either use ReportBuilder or Visual Studio with the appropriate settings (see SQL Server Data Tools). If the reports need to be served up to the public as opposed to within your company, you also need to be careful with both security settings and licensing on the SQL server.
BIRT is the best-known open source version of a reporting engine, but I've never used it so I have to leave that up to you to research. There are probably others.
a little background, I really don't know any technical terms from Oracle. My company have a pre built machine and I'm trying not having to go there backup my files and lose a day of job because I cant.
Recently I'm learning how to use Oracle Designer (6i) to build a diagram and later a table so I can request it to be created... While using the software it requested to install some file for the repository... after doing it, It screwed up every Oracle product I was using... I couldn't connect to PLSQL or even the designer...
After fixing some registry to point to the right TNSNAME and manually adjusting PLSQL, I managed to access both. The problem in hand is in oracle Designer at the "Designer Editor", when I right click a table and select generate, the message bellow shows up
Message
-------
CDD-23564: The file "C:\ORACLE\DSG6I\BIN\cds61.dll" could not be loaded or does not exist.
Cause
-----
The specified file or one its dependent files could not be loaded.
This may be because a file has not been installed, or is not
correctly defined in the system registry.
As an example dependency, the Forms Generator files require the
Form Builder files installed as part of Developer.
Action
------
Check the registry settings for the location of the required
file. Also check the product and any required dependencies
e.g.Developer have been installed correctly.
If necessary, try reinstalling.
The dll mentioned IS and EXISTS on the mentioned folder.
Considering I don't have the Oracle Developer 6i intaller, what can I do? What registry entry should I update?
Designer 6 is long out of support. Oracle has a free tool, SQL Developer Data Model, which does not break.
Even Designer 9i was flaky and would crash at random intervals and poke along with larger schemas. Anything over hundred tables could take days to edit. Ah, good times...
I managed to fix the problem by copying and replacing the whole ORACLE_HOME\DSG6I folder (in my case c:\Oracle\DSG6I, for those confused in terms like me) and the oracle system registry (regedit > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oracle) from a coworker machine!
Can I somehow get a build number into an extended property of my published database?
I use SSDT Projects and tfs build.
I want to get as much information as possible into the database.
I know there are a few variables, such as database name. Perhaps there are more?
Even build date would be useful (timestamp from when the deployment script was created).
But ":setvar ts GETDATE()" won't work since the GETDATE not being evaluated.
EDIT: I got it working by editing the xaml and then using XmlPoke. I can post more details if there is interest.
Pass the build number to a post-deployment script that is updating the extended property
We've setup some different load tests and need to generate/send the result pr. e-mail, a link, pdf or similar. The output and metrics are saved to a database (resultstore), but I haven't been able to find too much information on how to generate a report without having visual studio. One thing that comes into mind, is creating a custom report in reporting service (any one know of existing reports I could use?).
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Ended up with creating a report myself using reporting services. If I can make generic enough, I'll post it here.
My company participates in Windows Error Reporting via Winqual. We'd like to add some additional data to our crash reports, using WERRegisterMemoryBlock. Obviously we'd like to make sure this is working before we ship our next version. How can we test it?
Is there a way to locally preview precisely what is going to be sent? Does this realistically reproduce what we are going to be able to retrieve from Winqual?
Alternatively, can we generate a real report from a developer machine, then retrieve the report from Winqual? How would we distinguish this test case from the rest of our Winqual data?

build a special test version of your application
upload a product mapping for this test version to WER
crash the test version on a machine with error reporting enabled
check Winqual, after a couple of days a report should show up
if the report does not come with CAB data already, enable additional data request (in Winqual)
crash the test version again on a machine with error reporting enabled
check Winqual, after a couple of days a report with CAB data should be waiting for you
download the CAB data and check if/that it contains what you need (you will need to use WinDbg to get the full picture, VS is not as thorough with minidumps as WinDbg)
How would we distinguish this test
case from the rest of our Winqual
data?
give the test version a special name and version (EXE name and *.rc)
just using a different "product name" and "product version" (=WER friendly names) is not enough to get an extra event ID / bucket, but an extra EXE name plus "Product Name" for the application mapping should do the trick
The best test would be to map a test only version of your product. You can verify that the expected information is present and then make sure you change the version and upload a new product mapping file before shipping
