Visual Studio 2010 Microsoft Data Entity Design BootstrapPackage BootstrapPackage 10 0 0 0

Upon opening some solutions in my latest VS 2010 SP1 installation I would see an error dialog stating that:

The Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.BootstrapPackage.BootstrapPackage, Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.BootstrapPackage, Version=10.0.0.0... package did not load correctly.

I was able to solve the issue by running the following from command line:

reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftVisualStudio10.0AutoLoadPackages{adfc4e66-0397-11d1-9f4e-00a0c911004f} /v {7A4E8D96-5D5B-4415-9FAB-D6DCC56F47FB} /f 

reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftVisualStudio10.0AutoLoadPackages{93694fa0-0397-11d1-9f4e-00a0c911004f} /v {7A4E8D96-5D5B-4415-9FAB-D6DCC56F47FB} /f

If you have nVidia display card that have several CUDAs on it, you will interested in this tutorial. This time, I would like to show you how to install CUDA 4.0 RC on Ubuntu 11.04 Server.



You will experience a faster server after the installation of CUDA 4.0.



This HOWTO does not require to install X.



Step 1 :



Add the CUDA 4.0 PPA.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:aaron-haviland/cuda-4.0



Step 2 :



sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade



64-bit :

sudo apt-get install nvidia-cuda-gdb nvidia-cuda-toolkit nvidia-compute-profiler libnpp4 nvidia-cuda-doc libcudart4 libcublas4 libcufft4 libcusparse4 libcurand4 nvidia-current nvidia-opencl-dev nvidia-current-dev nvidia-cuda-dev opencl-headers



32-bit :

sudo apt-get install nvidia-cuda-gdb nvidia-cuda-toolkit nvidia-compute-profiler lib32npp4 nvidia-cuda-doc lib32cudart4 lib32cublas4 lib32cufft4 lib32cusparse4 lib32curand4 nvidia-current nvidia-opencl-dev nvidia-current-dev nvidia-cuda-dev opencl-headers



Step 3 :



sudo nano /etc/init.d/nvidia_cuda



Append the following lines.



============= Copy from here ================

#!/bin/bash



PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:$PATH



/sbin/modprobe nvidia



if [ "$?" -eq 0 ]; then



   # Count the number of NVIDIA controllers found.

   N3D=`/usr/bin/lspci | grep -i NVIDIA | grep "3D controller" | wc -l`

   NVGA=`/usr/bin/lspci | grep -i NVIDIA | grep "VGA compatible controller" | wc -l`



   N=`expr $N3D + $NVGA - 1`

   for i in `seq 0 $N`; do

      /bin/mknod -m 666 /dev/nvidia$i c 195 $i;

   done



   /bin/mknod -m 666 /dev/nvidiactl c 195 255



else

   exit 1

fi



=========== Copy to here =================



Step 4 :



sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/nvidia_cuda

sudo update-rc.d nvidia_cuda defaults



Step 5 :



Reboot your system.



Remarks



I do not have nVidia display cards server in hand at the moment, I am not sure the captioned startup script working properly or not.



Thats all! See you.

iReport 5 0 finding your way around

iReport is used to design your report templates. Here is the high level diagram of the key buttons and windows. If any of the windows are not there, you can add them from the menu item "Window".

The report is divided into "bands" and you can drag and drop report elements from the "palette" into the relevant bands. You can define the band and report elements properties via the "properties" window. New parameters, fields, etc can be added from the "Report Inspector" by right-clicking to bring up the contextual menu.

You can bring up the contextual menu on a "report element" as shown below to perform relevant tasks. Here is an example on a "Static Text" report element.

You can also bring it up on a "Text Field" report element as shown below. The "Edit expression" brings up the expression editor.

Finally, you can view it on three different layouts.

1. Designer (as shown above)
2. XML (shows the .jrxml file)
3. The Preview in your preferred output like "PDF Preview", "HTML Preview",  "XLS Preview (Using JExcelAPI)", etc that you select from the top "Preview" menu. This allows you to preview the actual report generated.
