• .NET Development Accessing databindigs of controls in TemplateFields of a GridView

  I have some TemplateFields in a gridview. How can I access the controls in these Templatefields when I do not know the name of these controls Further I should find the databindings of these controls. Can anybody give me some hints. If you don't have the control name, you still can access it using index of the control (you have to find out the index, perhaps by trial-and-error method), like: TextBox tb = ( TextBox ) GridView1.Rows[ rowIndex ].Cells[ columnIndex ].Controls[ controlIndex ] ; Hope that helps ...Show All

• Visual Basic Preventing application startup after Publishing

  I have a VS Windows app written in VB. After I publish the project it automatically starts to run the application.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Suggestions on good DX9/D3D book(s)

  Hey there. I have been programming C++ for about 2 years, C for 1, and DX9 for about 2 months. This Fall I am starting up a 2D game project all using DirectX sprites and my kung fu is a little rusty so I would really like to find a book that covers DirectX/D3D well and epescially one that goes into some more detail about D3DSprites. I know that I can use the refference that comes w/ the SDK, but I would like something that explains and gives hints and such to me, not just throws function names at me. I sincerely appreciate it, Thanks Sprite stuff is pretty simple, and you won't find books dedicated solely to it. Personally, I recommend Frank Luna's new book ...Show All

  Whats the limitation. Client wants to know this to know how many MSMQ servers they need in a farm for any given scenario. For the PRO SKU, it’s hardcoded to 10. For all Server SKUs, the customer has to purchase them – that’s what guides the price of the OS (how many CAL licenses are purchased with it). ...Show All

• SQL Server How to tailor CREATE DATABASE for an arbitrary instance

  Suppose the following: As part of a product install (using InstallShield)... I create a SQL Server Express instance (say "X") via a silent install I supply a script to create a database in instance X. The idea, of course, is to have a fully automated install. But there's one problem I can't quite see how to work around: - the CREATE DATABASE statement needs the name of a file to contain the database, and that file needs to be in a folder that belongs to the instance (e.g. Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1, Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2, etc). Is there a syntactic variant that allows me to avoid this problem Thanks Josh hi, usually referenced objects are to be considered cons ...Show All
