However, this configuration is not recommended for production environments. It can be used in evaluation or demonstration scenarios   Is there a specific reason why If so, what are the risks involved Could someone please hel ...Show All

• .NET Development Sharing 2 code bases

  Hi All! I have a Windows DLL containing code used in normal windows VB.NET projects. I want to create a DLL to be used in a Pocket PC Project that references the same code used in the WIndows DLL without cloning the code base. Any ideas how to accomplish this Charlie There isn't a real easy way of doing this, mostly because the compact framework and the main framework have a lot of differences. One option I have successfully used in the past is creating a separate project for the PocketPC library, but using "link to file" when adding the original files to the new project. I then use preprocessor directives to resolve differences between the two frameworks. Using linked ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is Winforms Going away?

  I see all the UI benefits to the WPF but does this mean the Winforms is eventually going to obsolete I am a die hard Microsoft fan, but if we have to keep rewriting our apps to keep up with the trend, I'm having second thoughts. I am now in the middle of developing a Large scale Winforms App that I have already worked on for almost 2 years in .NET. I am concerned that by the time I release it, I will need to rewrite it to take advanatae of the UI features of WPF. Is Microsoft going to keep upgrading the Winforms along with the WPF Thanks I suppose Windows Presentation Foundation is not NEW version of WinForms, it is just ANOTHER way of creating applications. So now there are two ways o ...Show All

• SQL Server Working with two data sources and dependencies parameters

  Hello. This is a real hard nut to crack :) I'm trying to do the following: I have one dataSource name "dSource1" and second named "dSource2". I have a report with one dataSet base on dSource1 and one dataSet base on dSource2. Now, I want that the second dataSet will return a list of numbers and for the first dataSet to use those number in a query. (example: second dataSet is "select num from t1" and the first dataSet is "select * from t2 where nums in (@allNums)". and of course that @allNums should be the values returned from the second dataSet. Whan I tried to set the @allNums parameter to get his default values from the query of the second dataSet I got the error that say "forward dependencies ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) OnMouseWheel

  Is there a OnMouseWheel event (obviously this is not the case, but it might have another undocumented name). If not, I'd like to have it on the wish list. No there isn't any mouse wheel support. We currently do not have plans to add mouse wheel support for a while. You can rely on HTMLs mouse wheel support like Peter's http://peteblois.members.winisp.net/Seventeen sample does.

  As a newbie to c# and vis studio am having trouble with the following timer function.

• Visual Studio Express Editions backgroundworker and datagridview

  I have a delimited text file that, and I have it read it and display it into a datagridview. The file is quite large, so backgroundworker can be useful. The problem is that they don't work very well. How can I update the datagridview from the backgroundworker Basically right now I have Button1 -do work, update datagrid.   The one that blow up earlier, for the backgroundworker, I set it as Button1 -call the async Backgroundworker -do work, update grid. heh.. that didn't work.   I'm not familiar with Control.Invoke, samples are confusing, so I'm just going to use DoEvents. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Change name of Form1, no design view.

  I created an application that created 'Form1' by default. I renamed Form1 to jpd7main and compiles ok, runs ok. I closed the design view for 'jpd7main' and now I can't open it in design view. Still compiles and runs ok. I even added another form, which I can see in design view. In the explorer window, the new form has a form icon next to the .h file whereas the 'jpd7main' has a header/code icon next to the .h file. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks gqlu wrote: Try to compile the whole project, and then open the designer view. Maybe it will recover some dependencies lost during the renaming. Already tried that, no luck. Thanks anyway. ...Show All
