• Windows Forms Designer Writing Broken Code in InitializeComponent (Class must be serializable?)

  Hi, I have a form that has a user control on it. This user control maintains all of it's values using a global object. The user control has a blank constructor that instanciates that object with no values. For some reason adding this line that instanciates the object causes the designer to try to set the properties of the user control in the InitializeComponent method. For instance, if the user control constructor inclues "globalObject = new myObject();" the designer will add lines of code to create it's own myObject and set it through the user control's property which is not necessary. Any ideas Thanks. All kinds, I just started designing the form. Any action that will trigger Visu ...Show All

• Visual C++ dao namespace

  How do I access the 'dao' namespace in C++ managed code In the other .Net languages I set I reference to the DAO library and then use either a 'using dao' statement in C# or an 'imports dao' in VB. Doing the same thing in C++ and using a "using namespace dao" statement results in a C2871 error "a namespace with this name does not exist". Any suggestions Add COM reference to Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library. Use DAO in the code by the following way: DAO::DBEngine^ dbEngine = gcnew DAO::DBEngine(); DAO::Database^ db = dbEngine->OpenDatabase(L"Test.mdb", nullptr, nullptr, nullptr); ... You can add line using namespace DAO; and use DAO types without prefix: DBEngine^ dbEngine = gcnew DBEngine(); Datab ...Show All

• SQL Server What decides on the tables available for a partition?

  Hello, I am using the Partition Wizard. On the first screen (Specify Source Information) there are two tables listed. They are called: QMR_610_MembersOther_GrAmountAnalysis QMR_610_MembersOther_ReinsShareAnalysis Only one of those (the first one) is used as the fact table for the measure group that I am creating partitions for. So what I don't understand is why its making these 2 tables available for my partition. Can anyone explain how the Partition Wizard determines which tables are available for the partition Thanks Jamie I'm sure that are Markus ;) Actually it makes sense doesn't it Of course it does. One of the good things about partitions is that they can all take their data from different obj ...Show All

• Visual C# Delegating A Namespace

  Can you reference a namspace.class.method using some sort of delegate or enumerator e.g. instead of namespace1.class1.method obj1.method1 Where your referencing a static method in another namespace. Sort of (if this answers your question). You can use the using directive. using obj1 = namespace1.class1; then you can call obj1.method1() Or if you mean an actual indirection you can create a delegate with the same prototype as the method - public delegate void method1delegate(); Then create an instance of the delegate - public class Test { method1delegate myMethod1Delegate; } Then you can instantiate it as such - myMethod1Delegate = new method1delegate(namespace1.class1.method1) A ...Show All
