• laboremus How to create usercontrol with a look up combo? The microsoft example does not work.

  Hi, I look at the the example available on msdn walkthrough http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms233787.aspx for my requirement but it does not work for me. I am using VS2005 Pro on XP SP2 + SQL 2005 express. In my case the combo gets pupulated with data from the look up table but it does not change as I scroll through the work table. If I manually set the LookupMember property using Advanced data bindings, then it works fine. But I want to know why the code as shown on the site does not work But then there is another issue. Even if I put the control on the form, and set all the proprties, the next time i open the form, i get following error: Cannot set the SelectedValue in a ListC ...Show All

• Dario Galvani BindingSource.Position = 0 doesn't work

  I'm having trouble getting data-bound fields to display any information when pointing at datarow 0. When pointing at any other row, it works fine. I don't understand what gives. Here's the situation: User selects a customer from a List. Using associated customerID, I attempt to display details of the customer record. In the following code snippet, the FoundRow DataRow always contains correct information. BindingSource correctly displays data except when FoundRow = 0. ' Locate the appropriate DataRow in dataset.

• Borshika Visual Studio 2005 Windows Installer Custom Actions

  I am in the process of deploying a project using Visual Studio's Windows Installer but would like to check software activation keys before doing the install. I've looked at custom actions but they are executed after the installation. Is there a way to to this Regards Does one of the Search Target Machine options work If there is a registry item then you could use that. If you want to do this before the install I would do the checking with a launcher process that calls the web service and then launches the MSI. The launcher can create a value in the registry that the setup project can check with a launch condition. Either that, or forget about a pre-install check - let the setup work and have th ...Show All

• imed-deborah IDataErrorInfo

  I've got a business layer class that implements IDataErrorInfo where the errors are setup on each property. This class is subsequently bound to a DataGridView. The missing data error works fine when the cell changes in the grid because the property code in the class is executed. But if a value isn't entered in the cell then the validation is never performed when the Save menu is selected. I have tried using this.ValidateChildren() but this doesnt work either. ...Show All

• mastermind1429 Simple Form customisations

  Hi, I'm at the moment learning C# through Visual C# Express edition and have a few questions. My first is that in my custom web browser I am designing how do I alter it, so that after I type my URL in my text box, it makes my browser go to that site as well as being able to press a GO button form. Also how I make it so that when I press Maximize the parts of my form scale to my Maximized window. To me these will seem like silly questions to most of the experienced and knowledgeable programmers on here, but I am only 15 so please be kind! Thanks for the Help. Hi, Here step by step instruction. With the empty form in design mode, drag a new WebBrowser control, a text box and a button. Place the web browser to cover the bo ...Show All

• kmishle Does a menu (strip) and a datagridview can exist together?

  Does a menu (strip) and a datagridview can exist together on the Windows form (2.0) When I involve a menu on a windows form with a Designer it is placed directly onto the DGV’s header (I used programmatically formed DGV from an excellent Mark’s example “ Sample Code: DataGridView progress bar column ” and an empty form to place a menu). To dock DGV on bottom (or top) is not a good idea but the header line is visible in this case. Any suggestions Thanks AFT Thanks Scott for your help! Regards, AFT Hi AFT, The answer to your question is yes. When you are adding the DGV programatically, it is the last item added to the form, and its Z-order (what dete ...Show All

• thomas_woelfer Reorder tabpages

  Hi, If have a tabControl with tabpages. |1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | I want to be able to reorder the tabs. E.g. move 3 one position down: |1 | 3 | 2 | 4 | As I understood it, the z-order was responsible for the order the tabs are displayed in. So this should work I thought: tabControlMain.SelectedTab.SendToBack(); However, it doesn't. Is there an easy way to reorder the tabs or do I have to rebuild the entire control with the tabpages in the right order thanks, Ton A not-so-efficient way is to remove them and adding them in the order you want them to.. Am sure there are better ways than this... Yes, actually I had an unexpected brainwave... TabPage tmpTab = tabControlMain.SelectedTab; if (tabControlMai ...Show All
