• Blkbird How to change the default form

  I created a form in a seperate project in my solution called "BaseControls". The only thing the form does is it has a gradient background. The only way to use the form right now is to create a windows form and then go into the partial class and change the inherits Winows...forms to my BaseControls.frmGradientSteelBlue. Is there a way to set it so I can just add the form thru the Projects Add New Item context menu. Is it possible to put it into the Visual Studio installed templates Thanks, Phil Hi, how about using the "Inherited form" template item from the Template list on Add New Item dialog Project | Add New Item -> choose Inherited Form item, press Add, chose your b ...Show All

• Roy mm VS2003 deployment makes folder read-only

  Hello, I am using a deployment project as an installer for my application. However, my app writes log files etc in the app folder. This works fine as long as I am logged in as Administrator (Win XP), but if any other user (with restricted access) try to use the app it generates security exception when trying to write to a file. Is there any way around this Thanks a lot! / Rolle The reason for the exceptions is that the user the application is normally run under does not have write access to that directory, while the Administrator account (which you presumably installed the app under) does. Rather than running your app with elevated credentials, you’ve got two options: 1. Change the permissions o ...Show All

• Marshes Incremental autocomplete from database

  Hi All, I'm trying to find a way to set up an autocomplete in an incremental fashion - I can't pre-populate the data due to the size of the data (~50,000 rows and growing). The process would be user types, timer is set to fire after 0.5 second of inactivity to query database and populate autocomplete, user refines entry via autocomplete, query again and so on until a complete match is made. Is there anything out there that can handle this Or what path should I go down to start rolling my own Any help is most appreciated. Thanks in advance, Scott I've whipped up a control - still needs a some work but the core of it's there. If you want a copy of it, send me an email (bit big to post he ...Show All

• leclerc9 Error when adding a user control to a form

  I've created a user control that consists of a text box and a list box. The listbox is populated by a data table that's created in the MDI parent and copied to each form as needed. In the load event of the user control, I set the datasource of the listbox to the tables defaultview, then add the sort, display and value properties. When I try to add the control to a form, I get a 'Failed to create component' white screen of death, with the message that the column name for the sort property can't be found. If I comment out the load code, I can add the control to the form. I can then uncomment the code and run the app, and the user control does exactly what it's supposed to do. First, why is the designer finding what would be a runtime e ...Show All

• Vincent Fournier System.Data.ConstraintException

  In my first ADO.Net 2.0 project I'm trying to create a Windows Forms application that allows updating customer records. These records are in an SQL Server 2003 database, and I am using the VS.Net 2005 DataSet Designer to create a typed DataSet and Customer TableAdapter. To start, I just output the internal IDs of fields to TextBoxes on a form. So far, so good. One of the fields is for Language (English, French, Spanish, etc.), and there is a database table with language names and IDs. So I add a new Language TableAdapter and Relation to the DataSet Designer. The Relation is: Parent table: Language Child table: Customer Key Column: Language.languageID Foreign Key Column: Customer.languageID Both Relation and Foreign Key ...Show All

DataView view = new DataView( dataTable ); view.RowFilter = " FieldName = ' Value '"; this.theDataGridView.DataSource = view; this will show the results based on the filter ...Show All
