• tempgp Retain data during Deploy or Writing Schema changes

  We have a database project where changes to tables are constant. When the changes are saved we (the developers) need to deploy or write the schema changes to our local database to work against. This worked fine until we started have lots of test data. With the test data is a pain because if you deploy you lose your data and you can't Write Schema changes to table which have data in them. Besides manually scripting each table, is there a way to retain data while deploying or writing schema changes How is everyone else handling this Darin, Oh, now I see your problem.

• DarkFire2 mment How to create Discussions forum in c#

  How to create forum using  c# true. And also, you would probably need the Web Developer express edition product but yes, as suggested, if its a website forum you are looking for - best place would be asking over at ASP.NET but also as cgraus suggested, the question is too broad. /By using ASP.NET, which means the question is off topic here and belongs at www.asp.net .

Buy a book on ASP.NET 2.0, download the web dev edition of Express, and ask specific questions as you work through your task. Either way, it's irrelevant, if he's asking an ASP.NET question, then it's off ...Show All

• kissii How to loop buttons to enable/disable

  Having problem doing a simple loop through 10 buttons on a form, what I want to do is loop through the buttons and turn on or off depending on user input. The for loop works in that it loops 10 times but I want it to call btn0-btn9.Enabled = False to turn off buttons. Hi, you can access controls by name using the code similar to this: For i As Integer = 0 To 9 btnControl = "btn" & i Me. Controls(btnControl).Enabled = False Next Just make sure all buttons are put directly on the form (not contained in other containers, like panels, etc.). If they are not, you'll have to change the Me.Controls part of the above code... Andrej Thanks Andrej! works great ...Show All
