VB6 Designer Reports Conversion

Hello,

We have an old VB6 project that has Designer Reports (.dsr) in the project.
We attempted to convert the project to VB.NET using Visual Sudio .Net 2003
upgrade wizard. The forms converted ok, but the .dsr report files did not
convert. The conversion wizard response is generic in stating that "the
report file did not successfully convert".

Any suggestions on how to convert these reports would be very helpful.

dunno man I always hated that crystal reports crap; I mean.. one level
of subreports is laughable

I used Access reports and they migrate to Reporting Services fairly
nicely

I am going to go out on a limb and guess 'MS Screwed VB6 developers on
this angle also'

thanks HTH

Hi, We have XML files (and its XSD) that are dump of our tree-like data structure in memory. These XML files may potentially have unlimited levels of nesting because some elements can contain themselves (recursively defined). We want to build some reports using some third party reporting tool (Crystal Report, for example).

I'm working with a database developed by an untrained person over several years - and on a network that has recently been upgraded with a new server installed and MS office upgraded from 2K (I think - it might have been XP) to 2003. The database is impressive, both in what it does and the obtuse and inconsistent ways it works. There are several hundred queries, for example, with no indication of where they are used or if they are in fact...

Hello, I started using the Reportviewer control (very nice) for generating Reporting Services type reports in my VB2005 app. I have been experimenting using a designer Reportviewer control from the toolbox - created at design time - (VB2005) and also creating a Reportviewer control at runtime on the fly. The runtime Reportviewer will populate/display data with a runtime dataAdapter, but the designer Reportviewer from the toolbox is...

I've been looking on the web trying to find a solution to converting a PDF Form from v.1.6(Acrobat 7) to PDF v1.4(Acrobat 5). It's one of those weird situations where one of the applications I'm using requires v.1.4. v.1.6 will mess up the application itself. PDFversion.exe (a conversion utility) doesn't support the 1.6 format and Acrobat 7 doesn't want to do backwards conversion on a PDF Form (at least from what I can see). So... I...

Hi all, I am experiencing a strange thing happening with a "designer.vb" page. Controls I manually declare in this page are automatically deleted after I drop another control on a ".aspx" page. - Why is this happening? - Can I disable automatic declaration and have everything be declared manually? - Any other options to fix this? Thanks in advance. Goran Djuranovic

I would like to understand why what I am doing is frowned upon by Visual Studio and how to do this properly. My application is in one solution; supporting libraries including...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
