• Windows Forms How to pass ab object between forms

For example if I have an object created in a button click event Form1 frm1 = new Form1(); MyObject obj = new MyObject() obj.Id= someintvariable; obj.Name=somestringvariable; frm1.MdiParent = this.MdiParent; //this is an MDI app frm1.Show(); how Can I send obj to Form1 so I can use it there Thanks There are several ways to do it. You can choose one of them as per choice or need: Suppose you have 2 Forms; Form1 and Form2; First you are trying to make a form an MDI parent but you are writing wrong syntax here is the right one...

• SQL Server Child package ConnectionManager visibility

  Hopefully a simple question about parent-child package relationship. For this example, let's say I have a simple setup - one parent package: parent.dtsx, and one child package: child.dtsx. The parent package calls the child package via the ExecutePackage Task. If I add an OleDB ConnectionManager to the parent package called MySqlConnectionManager, should I be able to reference this connection via a script task (or custom component) from my child package I realize that I will have a problem doing this at design time, but I thought I could get around it with the script task or custom component. That said, when I look in the Connections collection at run-time from within my child package, I do not see the parent package's MySqlConnectionM ...Show All

• Visual C# Master volume bar

  After hours of browsing and testing to find a solution to this, i finally throw my pride away and asks for help instead :P What i need is a trackbar to control the master volume, i found a couple of examples for this but most in the wrong language or too complicated for me. If anyone could help me out abit i would greatly appreciate it. Andy Hi, Andy I've tried it, and find it works well. Put the code in a new class library application and compile it. It will generate a dll file. Reference the dll file to your new winform project. In your winform, you can just use AudioMixerHelper.SetVolume(int) and AudioMixerHelper.GetVolume() methods in PhidgetTest namespace to set and get the m ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Profiler Scan:Stopped Event

  I am trying to improve the load performance of a data mart. It is setup with a standard 3 database ETL process (prestage, stage and mart). I am using Profiler to capture scan stops and identify any tables that may be having excessive full table/index scans. One table in the stage database has had 900,314 scan complete events in 37 minutes. This database has no user connections and the only process that is running is our ETL. All of the ETL is written in stored procedures which there are only 90 or so. The ETL process takes about 70 minutes so it has not completed and restarted during this time. The next closest event counts are in the 100,000 range, which still seems high. My question is what could be causing all of these tabl ...Show All

• SQL Server Force Execution on Import -- Ignore Duplicates

  I have a simply SSIS package with following data flow structure: Flat File Source > Data Conversion > Aggregate > Dervied Column > Ole dB Destination Basically, this package is executed on daily basis to import sales from a text file into sql server. Now there's a possibility that text file may contain previous sales (occasionally). My sql table structure enforces data integrity through primary key and therefore my package errors out if there's a duplicate in text file which already exists in sql server. I'm basically looking for a way to ignore these duplicates and continue to import rest of the file. I need a way to force execution (suppress errors if possible) and finish importing all text file.

  I am working on a bunch of code that was written for NET 1.1 and will not work with NET 2.0 due to changes.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Setting foreground and background to be the same when a control is disabled

  Can someone suggest XAML code that would set the foreground and background of a control (say a TextBox) to be the same when it is disabled as it was when it was enabled. I mean if the Background was white and Foreground was Black when the TextBox was enabled, if the TextBox is disabled, the Background and Foreground should remain the same and not be grayed out. But the question still remains, the WindowBackgroundBrush is a custom brush. I do not want to use that but the default foreground/background color. The above sample won't work for my question. ...Show All
