• Windows Forms UserControl as Container

  Hi all, Just a quick question and I am sure there is a simple solution but I just haven't found it yet. I know how to make my UserControl a container by using ParentControlDesigner etc. This works fine and I can drag and drop Windows Forms Controls at design time. However, if I add a Panel to my UserControl Class, compile it and then try to drag and drop another control on the Panel, the Panel does not act as a container. So my question is: If I have a UserControl which consist of a single Panel, which is a pretty lame control I know, how can you get the Panel to act as a container at design time Any help in this would be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards AM PS. The UserControl that I have written does not consist of a ...Show All

I have used ExeShield to protect my application.

The file may have been tampered with or it was partially signed but not fully signed with the correct private key. Any help on how to disable the Strong Name Validation Kind Regards ...Show All

• Visual Basic ComboBox Frustration: Setting a default "SelectedIndex" when adding a new record refuses to work.

  Help! This is a very frustrating problem. Ok I have a typical databound Form with a bound ComboBox bound on the form Load event. I have a typical BindingSource and BindingNavigator Control with an "AddNew" button. When a new record is added to the dataentry form (i.e. not the combobox) I intend the combobox to default to the first value in the list by setting... mycombo.selectedindex = 0 I have this in the BindingNavigatorAddNewItem_Click event but it has no effect! I also tried placing mycombo.selectedindex = 0 in the BindingSource "AddingNew" event but this also has no effect. I have discovered that the "selectedindex" is somehow inexplicably changing itself back to  -1 As an experime ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro converting xml to foxpro table

  Hi, I own an insurance and investment company and just play around with some foxpro applications for my business. I have developed several helpful database programs for such things as tracking insurance quote requests that come in, etc. in VFP ver 5.0. I just purchased VFP 9.0. I am pretty much clueless as to what xml does or how it works (i don't even know what it stands for); however, I am now in need of being able to suck data that is currently in xml format into a vfp database and vice versa. I tried playing around with the smltocursor and related commands, but they are way over my head. Is there a simple program code someone has that will just convert this for me Or is there one of you folks out there that I could hire for a small ...Show All

• Windows Forms Custom Collection Editor - how to block the up and down buttons ?

  I have a Custom Collection Editor and overridden some methods - everything works fine... BUT I now want to block the up and down buttons, so the User won't be able to move the Collection Items within the Index.

• Visual Studio Source code re-ordering?

  Hi, Does anyone know of a VS plugin (or standalone application for that matter) that will allow me to re-order source files Ideally (!) it would be nice to be able to analyze a given file, then reorder the source such that properties are listed first (order by access, then alphabetically), then methods (again, by access first then alphabetically) and so on (or by some other consistant approach) I think the editor itself does a great job of maintaing coding standards such as indentation etc, but being able to pretty up source files in this (or similar manner) with regards to program blocks would be really useful for those inherited messy sources (mine are all fine, honest!)

• Commerce Server Any way to make the CS 2007 help portable?

  This is kind of off topic, but hopefully one of you legends will have a great solution. Is there any easy way to copy the Commerce Server help onto another PC This used to be easy as it was a single CHM file. However, the help system has changed again and this no longer seems possible. I can't just install the Help as the install will not run without pre-reqs. I want to do this do I can do design work on another PC that does not have CS on. I know the docs are online, but it is not a great experience... I asked this early on and I believe the docs team (the group of folks that keep the CS2007 on-line and Visual Studio docs up to date) decided that keeping the on line docs and Visual Studio docs current w ...Show All

• Windows Forms Getting error "You do not have privileges to run this application"

  I have a Windows Forms application I wrote last year in VS .NET 2003, which I've upgraded to VS .NET 2005 today. It includes Crystal Reports 11 Release 2, and I've made a setup for it. I've just tested it by installing it on a new PC, and I'm getting an error that says simply, "You do not have privileges to run this application". I've searched for this error using both Live.com and Google, and really haven't found anything useful (both search engines yield just one website that lists this error message - interestingly enough it is not the same website). I am hard pressed to figure out why the network administrator account, which is what I used to install the app and test running it with, does not have privileges in order to run i ...Show All

• Windows Forms StartupNextInstance and ClickOnce

  I'm trying to use the StartupNextInstance event to get the values passed to the My.Application.Deployment.ActivationUri.AbsoluteUri of a clickonce application when it is started again.

• SQL Server Compatibility level

  Having moved over to SQL 2k5, from SQL 7.0 we have now realised that the database's need to be set to comp level 9.0 before they are found in the maintence plan wizard, we currently still access the database using an Access 2000 front end, by changing the comp level will this cause us issues writing data, I'm sure it won't but want to make sure, I'm sure that the comp level just sets what options are available to use.
