I wouldn't want to risk the network bottlenecking the communication between the database and report server. ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums How to handle a message before the client displays it

  Greetings, I'm programming in C# with Visual 2005. I'm trying to implement an addin for WLM that will make some treatment on an incoming text message. So, I'd want to wait the end of the treatment to display the incoming text message into the "chat window" of WLM.

• Visual C# using dataGridView EditingControlShowing for Keypress and multiple calls

  I am using the following logic to capture the keypress event in a dataGridView so that I can edit numeric cells.  The logic works but my logic is being called multiple times on a singe keypress.  For example, when the character "A" is pressed, the message box will be displayed from 2 to 6 times on the screen before the control is returned back to the cell so that more data can be entered.  The first time an incorrect character is entered it is only displayed twice.  But as you tab or click on other cells in the view, the number is times it is displayed for a single character increases. I am using Visual Studio 2005 C# Express Edition. private void dataGridView1_EditingControlShowing( object sender, Da ...Show All

• Visual C# Monitoring an object for changes

  Hi, I have an object which contains many Properties. Actually, this object is only one type of object inside of a hierarchal based object model using the Collections.ObjectModel.KeyedCollection. To give you an idea as to what I am trying to do, let me explain some of the objects and the properties that I need notification of. "Rod" class has a .Length property. "Part" has a .Shape, .Pin, and .Socket property. "Wheel" has a .Diameter and .Radius property. "NonStationary" has a .CurrentValue property. That's just a small example, just to get to my question. I was wondering what is the standard practice of notifying when property values have changed. The trick is that I am not concerned about single individual object property changes, only T ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Wimgapi.dll WimApplyImage Callback / Threading Problems (VB6)

  For the last few weeks we've been working on a wrapper library for Wimgapi.dll in VB6. This is to allow the WIM file to be used in our PE based OS image installation system. Sadly the system has to be written in VB6 to keep the deployed size very small but keep the GUI coding to a minimum (otherwise I wouldn't need to dust off my VB6 hat). Thre have been a couple of similar threads posted recently about how WimApplyImage can cause the VB6 IDE to hang or do strange things when using a callback function. We've also seen this problem and agree that it seems to be caused by WIMGAPI creating a new thread at the point it moves from restoring folders to restoring files. Any attempt to update the GUI or anything at all useful from the callb ...Show All
