• Visual C# How can I prevent usercontrols from all projects loading into the toolbox?

  I have made a few tries at googling for this, with no luck. The problem is that we have a large solution with dozens of projects, most containing 1 - 3 usercontrols. Every time I open the Toolbox, every project displays on its own tab. Each tab is open to show an item for each usercontrol. This not only takes a long time to load, but it makes it difficult to find the tabs I actually want to use. I have tried removing most of the tabs from the Toolbox, but it doesn't seem to stick. After I once close both the Toolbox and the solution, the very next time I open the Toolbox, it again brings up an open tab for every project. I guess what I really need is a quick easy way to put the control or component I need on a form (if there is a ...Show All

• SQL Server Query results are now showing as text based

  Ok, I have been using Query Window in SQL 2005.  All of a sudden, I notice that my results pane is now showing it text based, not formatted like columns like it used to.  The only thing I did different was to change the Tools | Options | Query Results| SQL Server | Results to Text | Maximum Numbers to Display in each column value. Even after I changed that, it was working fine meaning it showed the results not as one big text.  But eventually after a few more Query runs, I now get this format which I don't want (notice how each column is underlined with --------------) ProductID      Description -------------------- -----------------  Why did it all of a sudden switch from ...Show All

  Hi All, I'd like to inquire if it is possible to create a specific file extension like for example .wew and when the user double clicks over the that kind of file ,it excutes the programm associated with it ,and how can the contents be interpreted by the program, I tried to find how to do that ,and I only found soultion that deal with windows shell scripting Thanks alot for any cooperation Aiad Aljumaily To associate a program with an extension, add these keys to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT: I put the data type or key in square brackets after the value or key.

• Smart Device Development Embedding Windows Media Player in Mobile5.0 and PocketPC 2003.

• Windows Forms Admin rights on the server to publish with Clickonce ?

  Hi, I have used clickonce to publish our windows client app on a test server. Only with admin rights, I could do this. I cannot find any documentation that specifies this pre-requisite, though. Why Unfortunately, I cannot be given admin rights on our deployment server. Is there any way, we can publish from my machine to a server where I do not have admin rights ! thanks in advance, Soumya. You don't have to be an admin, but you do need to have permissions to the web server. If you are using HTTP publishing, I"m not sure exactly what permssions you need, but I'd try to get added to the "Web Administrators" group or something like that. You can look for info on MSDN about Fro ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Using Properties

  I know that it is good practice to use properties to encapsulate a variable rather than making a variable public. However consider the following code, class myClass {     public int myVar     {         get { return _myVar; }         set { _myVar = value; }     }     private int _myVar; } If a method inside myClass wanted to access the _myVar variable, would it be accessed via the property myVar or directly via _myVar I know the program will compile whichever I choose, but is either way preferable (I hope this makes sense!)

• SQL Server Using variable in DataReader's SqlCommand text

  I'm attempting to configure a DataReader's SqlCommand text to use a package-level variable and I'm having trouble. I've read about using the "sql command from variable" option but although I see that during the configuration of Ole DB source, I don't see the same option for DataReader source. Viewing the properties of the DataReader and selecting the SqlCommand property does have button to configure the value but only displays a string value editor window. (I was hoping for the expression editor.) The configured connection to the DataReader uses the odbc Data Provider (under .Net providers). I'm connecting to mySql, if that matters. What I'm looking to do is to use a variable in the where clause of the DataReader's SqlComma ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Word extraction

  I have a word document that I would like to extract word/sentences that are in a specific custom style. I have written the code to grab the word file but could not figure out how to search by a style... I then thought that I could save the document as a XML document (WordML) and then open that document as a XMLDocument and hopefully write a XPath query to get all of the nodes that meet the criteria. The XPath does not seem to work correctly because the nodes are named with ":" in them. Here is an "short" example....
