• Windows Forms Data Not Saving In Calculated Field

  I have a textbox that is populated from a calculated variable. The textbox populates ok but when I save the data, the textbox resets to zero and saves to the database as zero. All of the other data on the form saves appropriately. The data is originally binded as: ctl.DataBindings.Add(new Binding("Text", usmDataSet_est1.Tables["cabinet"], ctl.Name, true, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged)); I'm setting the text property of the calculated value with: private void populateAreaTextBox(string First, string Last, Control ctl) { string sArea = Convert.ToString(Decimal.Round(calcArea(), 2)); ctl.Text = sArea; } What could be the problem The textbox is read-only.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How can i create a treeview nodes dynamically ?

  Hi, is there anyway to create treeview's nodes and its level dynamically i have actually a variable number of levels for treeview childs and i can not figure out how could i use HierarchicalDataTemplate to create variable number of levels. thats y i would have to create nodes programatically and its template. is there any better way to do that thanks If you bind the TreeView to your data source, you could set the HierarchicalDataTemplate's ItemTemplateSelector property to a class which dynamically builds the multi-level HDT according to the types of the objects being displayed. Using the item template selector is explained by Beatriz Costa her "How can I do custom Grouping" post: http://www.beacosta.com/ ...Show All

• Visual Basic FileUpload - How do I trap maxfilesize problems

  The fileupload control works well for files < 4MB (maxrequestlength), but if the file is larger than this the program fails with: - the page cannot be displayed, or Server error in '/xxxxx' application Maximum request length exceeded How do I trap this so that I can return a better error message The failure occurs before the Page Load from any callback, so I can't see any way of trapping the error, and I haven't seen any event or property of the Fileupload control that I can set to say "Do this when Max Request Length is exceeded" I don't want to accept larger files, I'm happy to live with the limit.

• Visual C# Multidimensional Arrays

  Ok, my book really sucks I think. After struggling with an example in the book, I looked in the MSDN and searched these forums. I believe my book is wrong when it shows: int[,] student = new in[4][3]; I tried doing it that way but it errors. int[,] student = new int[5,4]; gives me no error and works. I am going to go with that. Unless someone can tell me that int[,] student = new in[4][3]; is indeed a correct format or what kind of a typing error it could be... The following also seems to be in the wrong format: int[][] x = { { 2, 3 }, { 4, 5 }, { 6, 7 } }; I don't think you can do it that way...

• Visual C++ Binary

  I am using VS 2005 standard edition. I am sending and receiving data via RS232 using an application that I written in C++. The data is ascii but I want to see a binary representation in order to analyse it completely. I am reading the data received into a text box. Is there a standard method of converting the ascii data in the text box into its binary representation Oh - this is C++/CLI. CString is part of MFC. However, the .NET framework does it better anyhow String ^ myString = Convert::ToString(Convert.ToInt16(txBx1->Text), 2) should do it. You need to pass your number as an int, and then ToString(str,xx) will convert the number to a base xx string. ...Show All

• SQL Server Transactional replication: commands are not applying to subscriber

  Hi! The distributor was down for a long time (neer the week) and after that the commands stop applying to subscriber, while they successfully collected from publisher and stored into distributor.

How can I make distr agent to resume activity without reinitialize snapshot You right, it expires. I try to update status field in mssubscriptions table to value 2, but an agent anyway cannot apply commands. It seems distribution clean up job removed many commands and that is why distr agent cannot apply them. I think distribution clea ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions fatal error RC1021: invalid preprocessor command 'import'

  I'm importing the msxml library like this: #import "msxml3.dll" If I do this in cpp files everything is fine. I can compile and link no problem. But I have a header file (qdbclient.h) that defines a class where some of the members of the class are XMLDOMDcouments. So I find that I need to do the #import "msxml3.dll" in the header file as well to get things to compile. After putting the #import "msxml3.dll" in the header file, when I compile I always get: Compiling resources... .\qdbclient.h(1) : fatal error RC1021: invalid preprocessor command 'import' I can get this error message by right clicking on the one resource file in the project and clicking compile.

• SQL Server Direct vs. Indirect Package Configurations

  If your XML configuration files will be in the same location on your Development, UAT and PROD servers, is there any merit to making your configurations indirect I am modifying the connection string with the XML. My strategy is to set up an XML configuration for each database that we have. The Dev XML config will point to Development connection, UAT to UAT etc.. My thought is that by using the direct configuration it will eliminate the need for environment variables and also allow me to add configs without having to reboot the servers, which you would need to do in order to get server to recongize the EV. Thanks Dear Kirk, I got your book, and downloaded the samples. For the Config utility ...Show All
