• HowardP Stored Procedure shows resultset one pc, not on the other.

  Hello everyone. I have been breaking my head over a strange problem all day now. My colleague and I have recently started to develop in Visual Studio 2005. We have a stored procedure on SQL 2000 server called 'searchpartnumbers'. When we start a new project on his system, click on 'add datasource' and select this storedprocedure as datasource it shows it's resultcollumns. We can easily drag it onto a form and in runtime it shows a resultset as expected. see image: http://mailings.infotheek.nl/good.jpg The problem is, when I do the exact same thing on my system, it does not show any collumns. In fact, after finishing the wizard it just adds an empty dataset with one tableadapter in it (which is bound to the stored procedure). ...Show All

• MIC DA EDY General question - InitializeComponent versus Form_Load

  Can someone please tell me the pros and cons of using the InitializeComponent() method vice the Form_Load() method to set up the controls and otherwise get the form ready for user use I'm a VB6.0 "cross-over" to C# and the InitializeComponent method is confusing. I have created several apps that use both methods and this has led me to think I may be using the InitializeComponent method incorrectly. I can still remember that VB had Form_Load and Form_Activate Subs that you had to be aware when a VB app is started. Are the C# InitializeComponent() and Form_Load() methods similiar to the VB6.0 Form_Load and Form_Activate Greg Hi Rhubarb InitializeComponent is analogous to the code that ran in a VB6 form BEFORE y ...Show All

• CSharpCoder ToolStripTextBox does not displays as multi-line.

  Hello, I cannot set a ToolStripTextBox to display a multi-line text, whether programmatically or by drawing it by mouse. Whenever i try to change its Size to a bigger size, it still displays only one line, whereas a TextBox can display multiple lines. Also, there is no .Dock properties to do what I expect. At last resort I could use ToolStripControlHost but it would be be pretty useless because the only thing I want to do is to display a multi-line text, I don't need to expose any methods or properties. Do you have any ideas   Thanks a lot The same, it's not working, I think it's inherent to VB, I'm mainly using this because i need proper font scaling, and ToolStrip handles ...Show All

• Alex Krapivin Group policy

  Wrong Section i know, but could not find the right one! Can any one help me in telling me how i use group policy to stop the right mouse button working on the start button. I have stopped it working on the desktop, but it will still work on the start tab, and then allow you to explore. Cheers When you right click the Start button, you can select Open, Explore or Find options. To lock down this option, rename the key [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell] to [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell.lockdown] and rename the key [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell] to [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell.lockdown] .

• JonEagle How to create a multi-selection list view for a touch screen?

  I am currently developing an application meant to run on a terminal with a touch screen. I have a list view and I would like to modify it so that every time the user touches an item it becomes selected. If the user touches the selected item again, the item is unselected. It should also support ‘multi-selection’ meaning that if the user touches items 5, 7, 9 and 10 they should all be selected and then if the user touches item 7 only 5, 9 and 10 should remain selected. How can I modify the list view to achieve that Thanks, Dom. Yes. You didn't catch the mouse messages in WndProc. Using OnMousexxx is too late, the ListView control has already done some processing intern ...Show All
