• Windows Forms DataGridView - switch cols and rows

  I really need the DGV to display its cols (fields) down the left (as rows) and the data (there's a single row) as another col. I can't see how to do this. Is this possible Thanks, R Yes - it looks that this solution (via a coded intermediate table) will indeed switch/pivot the rows/cols. But it also seems that we lose the DB auto-updating functionality. And also, we lose the ability to define col attributes (since these are now rows). It seems a pity that the DataGridView doesn't have a way to just natively pivot! Thanks for your help and time Chi, Roger ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio Hangs - Need to restart IIS

  We have installed Visual Studio 2005 Professional on a development server. Occasionally VS hangs. The only quick fix we have found is to restart IIS. Obviously we do not want to have to do this each time it hangs. Any idea what is causing the problem Gabriel, you seem to know something about hangs in VS. I experience Hangs everytime I close an edit window, If I have a couple of windows open I can quickly close 2 windows and then it hangs, waits, busy cursor, waits and then the cursor will dissapear and I can actually type in the editor but I get no prompt so I don't know where i am typeing until I type it. I can't use the mouse to select any text. all this takes maybe 3 minutes, which is just enough tim ...Show All

• SQL Server Adding Row Numbers to Flat File Source

  Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to add an identity column to a flat file data source as it is being processed in a data flow. I need to know the record number of each row in the file. Can this be done with the derived column task or is it possible to return the value of row count on each row of the data Any help on this is greatly recieved. Cheers, Grant The Pre and Post execute limitation is just that. It also makes more sense as you only need to read and write the variables pre/post, which is faster than accessing them for every row. Use local variables in the actual main execution code. You may want to take a quick look at the Row Number Transformation, it may do exactly what you want with s ...Show All

• Visual C# Help with strange PInvoke conversion

  Hi, thanks in advance for your time and eventually for your help. I have to wrap some c functions from a dll creating a C# assembly . I tried many forums etc etc but i didn't find any help . Here's the c funtion prototype : short SessionNew( Session *pSession, SessionNewArgRec *pSessionNewArgRec ); where : typedef struct _Session * Session ; struct _Session is not defined anywhere, so i suppose that Session is a int ptr SessionNewArgRec is a struct which im sure i do a good conversion of . this is what i've written up to now : [DllImport( "libxxx30.dll" , SetLastError = true, CallingConvention=CallingConvention.Cdecl)] public static extern short SessionNew( IntPtr hSession, IntPtr lpSessionNewArg); i don't think this is right, 'cause eit ...Show All

• Visual Studio Can't get my shape to show in the Toolbox

  Hi guys, this is my first few hours playing around with DSL, and I've got this strange little issue: I've started out by adding a new shape & domain class in the minimal language sample. I've called my class WizardFlow, my shape WizardFlowShape, added an embedding relation from the ExampleModel to my WizardFlow class, and did the Element Mapping for my class to the WizardShape. Still, and even though i get no warnings prior to compilation, and the thing compiles ok, when I debug it, i can't see my new shape in the Toolbox. I double checked every property, went through the whole tree of things in the Dsl project view, the works ! Still, the shape will not yield to my will, and will not show in the debugging toolbox ... I went as far a ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Scorched Tanks for Windows (and 360)

  Hey, Continuing my habit of starting more games/projects than I can ever hope to finish, I decided on Thursday I'd write my own version of Scorched Tanks in XNA. What I've got so far is by no means close to being a game, yet, you could probably "play" around with it for 5 minutes or so, so call it what you will. It's working on 360 and Windows (without code changes of course) which is good news. What I've zipped is really just a work in progress for people to play around with and ask any questions (should there be any). The code is, as with all works in progress, fairly atrocious, so I'll keep it to myself for a bit but if by a miracle I've done something and you want to know how I'll happily tidy up the relevant bits and post it. ...Show All
