• .NET Development SQL LIKE QUERY WITH A PARAMETER

  I have a problem with a LIKE query in vb.net. I want to run a query which will output all of the usernames that end with a certain character. I need to use a LIKE query but I am not sure how to use a parameter. I have tried this: SELECT Username FROM TblUsers WHERE (Username LIKE '%= ') ORDER BY Username This does not work because it does not allow me to enter the value I want. If anyone can help I will be grateful. Thanks Hi. In run I typed cliconfg and enabled all of the protocols. This message appeared: FatalExecutionEngineError was detected Message: The runtime has encountered a fatal error. The address of the error was at 0x79fce5c2, on thread 0xc54.

• .NET Development How can I detect when PictureBox is showing ErrorImage?

  A simple problem but I can't see an obvious answer. I want to detect when a user's image hasn't loaded for any reason. The obvious way seems to check if the image is ErrorImage but I can't work out how. Any assistance gratefully received. Unfortunately it appears that the LoadCompleted event is created whether the image is loaded successfully or not. Thank you for your suggestion though. ...Show All

• Visual C# Windows Robotics

  I built one of the C# demo projects that come with the Microsoft Robotics program, although I could not get the robotics simulator to run the C# file, and as I cannot find a forum for robotics, I am asking the question here. I have tried many times to view the robotics simulator, and cannot get the simulator to work, so any suggestions would be nice. I have also been able to access the robotics main control page, but most of the links lead to xml error pages. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks Here's the way to talk directly to the developers... ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Suggestion: Selectively deploy objects

  Hi, This is a feature request. I think it would be nice to be able to "switch off" an object from being included in the DBPro build. This way, you could include things in your project but that don't need to be deployed until a later date. I recognise tht this isn't as simple as just checking a boolean flag - there's the whole issue of checking dependancies and thus disabling those as well. Thoughts Comments -Jamie Hello Gert, I'm sorry, but I (and I think Jamie would agree) do not agree with your answer. That removing from build is possible was known before, the current state of VSTS4DBP (and as you are saying also the RTM) preclude the use of this method.

  I'm new to all this so I need someone to go ahead and tell me what's what. I am wondering about the Webcast section on game programming at: http://www.microsoft.com/events/series/msdnvideodev.mspx Is this stuff free, or do I have to have a subscription to something I can't figure it out. Whenever I go to download one of the webcasts in the 3d programming section, I can't download any video but the part 1 of 11.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Binding ListView to infinite lists

  Out of pure curiosity I decided to try the following on a ListView since I heard it uses the VirtualizingStackPanel. I bound the ListView's ItemsSource property to a getter property defined as public IEnumerable<int> InfiniteList { get { int n = 0; yield return n++; } } It only displayed the first item. How does the ListView populate itself from a databound collection I thought any collection implementing IEnumerable would be fine. Ah yes, I'm so dumb. I forgot to put it in a loop. That's such an obvious mistake. ListView is supposed to only ask for visible items by default. It uses the VirtualizingStackPanel. That's why I tried this experiment. I bound it to a list with 250,000 element ...Show All

• Windows Forms Docking issues VS2k3 driving me mad

  Using VS2k3/C#/XP Pro. I have a listbox, status bar, textbox and a richtext on my form. You could say the layout is similar to mIRC just to give an idea. Anyhow when I dock my listbox to the left or right of the form in the designer (or at runtime come to think of it) there is a ~10 pixel gap between it and the bottom most control. I have undocked everything, redocked in every possible order, played with the Z-ordering, put it in a panel and docked that while setting the listbox to fill the panel, changed borderstyles, etc, etc, etc. Nothing works I still end up with a very ugly gap at the bottom of the listbox and my controls don't line up.

• Visual Studio Team System Start Date is read-only from MS Project

  I have applied the fix for the MS Project "comma problem" (KB 919232) to my system, and can now refresh a project file from TFS. The problem I am having now is that the tasks all have a start date that was created when they were imported into TFS, and if I try to change it in Project I get an error message stating that that field is read only and cannot be changed. Can anyone tell me how I can change this date My project was an on-going one and some of the tasks were in process well before they were imported into TFS. TIA Ron L Did you check if you have ReadOnly rule set for Start Date field in work item tracking You can import that type using witimport and make sure no readonly rule is specified for that field. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions white screen while debugging

  hi, i am using the VB.net for sometime now, and one thing i found it inconvenient is that, while debugging, the window's form will turn into white color, i can not see what happens under that...does anyone know what happens Thanks i see what you means, thanks. but the problem is still there: if i set a break point at one place and use F5 to start the debugging, when the program reach there,and i click back to the program interface, the interface will 'get frozen', most of the time showing white color. Sometimes i like to step through the program (F8 key) to see some effects (especially the CAD plotting), it is not possible. Since i use VB6 before, i know it does not have this problem....
