• Windows Forms Popup Message on form closing

  Hello all, I have a multi form application that i've developed for some health professionals and i'm running into a small issue. They have a bad habit of clicking the RED X on the form to close it instead of clicking the FILE and EXIT menu items. I need to display a YES NO messagebox to remind them to save any work before closing the form. I've done some research on this and other forums and found some posts where people are recommending that the form be hidden instead of closed. I really want to stay away from this. So, any ideas On your form find the FormClosing event. Double click this in the designer so that it auto generates the code for the event. Then you would do a C# if ...Show All

• SQL Server Passing array to stored procedure

Size of 10 is fine for a list of integers. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Core Team Organized interim milestone - related workstream?

  Hi, Can you please help me figure out which workstream is related to the "Core Team Organized" interim milestone of the Envisioning track (MSF v4) As far as I understand, the "Vision/Scope Baselined" interim milestone as well as the track's major milestone are directly related to the "Capture Product Vision" workstream, but I can't find any workstream that would include activities on preparing the project team. Regards, Dmytro Lapshyn You make an excellent point! It's very odd to me to think of a team being created at a single point in time. Usually, we have an existing team and create a vision and scope document or a person write the vision and scope without much of ...Show All

• Windows Forms Arrow Keys don't move controls in custom forms designer

  Hello, I have a custom forms designer. I've implemented a menu command service like so MenuCommandServiceImpl mcsi = new MenuCommandServiceImpl (); host.AddService( typeof ( IMenuCommandService ), mcsi); MenuCommandServiceImpl is derived from IMenuCommandService. I "think" that the controls are supposed to move when the arrow keys are pressed via the MenuCommands .KeyMoveUp etc. Commands. I've added those commands to my MenuCommand class, but nothing. In all my searching around, I think that the DesignSurface.View is stealing the key press events for the Arrow keys, and should be the one to fire the correct events or preferably move the controls. Have I added the wrong service or is it possibly ...Show All

• SQL Server WSS 3.0 adding trusted accounts

  Seems only a few of us are experimenting with WSS 3.0 and RSS 2005 (requires sp2 ctp). I've gotten just so far after battling several installation problems. Only Brian Welcker and Spyuta (sp ) have been active here or on their blogs about this. While the instructions are good at the RSS addin for sharepoint page, http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/5/f250ed72-c102-4216-8653-63189e24fa02/readme_rsaddin.htm , there are some notable word mismatches. Under the section "Install the Reporting Services Add-in and Configure the Report Server on the SharePoint Technology Instance" they refer to granting accounts access to the database, which is labelled, 'add trusted accounts'. This is as far as I can go because within that step ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Grids are from Venus, cursors are from Mars (Help!)

  Hey guys, long time,<br><br>I've been recently working on grids with cursors, and doing cursor transfer stuff. After some point in time during a function, one of the product IDs changes itself.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. General Audio Disfunction

  After about 10-15 minutes of gameplay, the audio slowly begins to become more and more distorted and fractured sounding. Both the sound FX and BGM gradually become more choppy and grainy sounding while dragging down the overall performance of the game. Any ideas Sorry the Update trick didn't help. It still sounds like an XACT starvation / over-work issue. I guess I would do the following things if I were you: 1) When the bug happens, break into the debugger and check what your code is doing. It's possible that your game is starving XACT by doing a lot of computation on other threads. 2) Try to verify that your audio engine's Update method is actually being called frequently. Maybe add a counter and print out a debug message eve ...Show All

  Hello... I have a Virtual PC running SSRS 2005.
