• Visual C# DataGridView, Checkbox column, change style

  Hi, I managed to make disablable cells in a DataGridView but now I need to change the color of the components inside a disabled cell to LightGrey. The ForeColor only change text color, not the checkbox colors. I'd like to know how to change the style of items inside of cells.

• Visual C++ CreateFile to device in VB.NET 2005

  I have an application that communicates with a USB or Serial device using CreateFile(). It was originally created in VB6 and I ported the project to Visual Studio 2005, and it works fine. But, I wanted to move the old C code to a dll or class and then use the new GUI features in VS2005, along with CLR, managed code, etc. With the class version (done in a mixture of managed C++ and the old C code compiled as not managed), it compiles fine and I can step through the code from my managed VB GUI to the unmanaged C code in the class, but now CreateFile fails, with a return code of 2 ("The system cannot find the file specified"). Can anyone explain why CreateFile works fine in the old unmanaged code, but now doesn't work in my new 2005 pro ...Show All

• Visual C# _/ Enable Application Framework, where'd it go?

  Why is enable application framework under project properties available in VB, but not C# or am I missing something Actually, I was hoping to disable it.  I don't want my application to have that WinXP look for my menu strip.  I don't like how it has all that open space for a picture because it doesn't look professional and I don't want to draw any images for the menu strip either. ...Show All

The tempdb size is increasing rapidly. it was 4 Gbs and i restarted the sql server to shrink the tempdb size which worked fine. but now after 1 week then tempdb size is almost 1.5gbs.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) type inference

  Theres been some comments in this forum about some interesting developments to come on the type inference front. Any chance of getting some information on what is being considered/done, and when we might expect to see it Hi there, We are looking at one problem with type inference of generic methods, which is that all inferences for a given type parameter currently have to agree completely. For the Join operator in LINQ, for instance that has some consequences: IEnumerable<V> Join<T,U,K,V>( this IEnumerable<T> outer, IEnumerable<U> inner, Func<T,K> outerKeySelector, Func<U,K> innerKeySelector, Func<T,U,V> resultSelector); Here the two key selector arguments have to have exactly the sa ...Show All

• .NET Development Best timeout approach for worker thread?

  Hi all, I'm currently working on a C# app which makes uses another team's component to make a call to a web service. This web service request sometimes takes a long time to return, so I need to have a timeout on the request. Initially I implemented this by making the request in a new worker thread, then calling workerThread.join(timeout). However, this is giving me very unpredictable behaviour. Sometimes the timeout works fine, but often it never times out, or takes a very long time to timeout. When I saw this behaviour, I tried another test. I put a sleep(2*timeout) call in the worker thread before it makes the web service call. With this in place, the timeout works correctly all the time. Would I be right in thinking this is ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WF Designer: Glyph provider is not being used by my viewer

  Hi all, I have a web page that displays the workflow image for a given workflow instance id. I based this code on the WorkflowMonitor in the June CTP SDK. To avoid CAS issues, my workflowViewer saves the workflow image as a stream which is returned to the web page for rendering (as opposed to hosting a designer surface directly in a web page). This is working fine, however I am unable to hook in the glyph provider to mark Closed and Executing activities, as is done in the SDK. Here's the relevant code extract: --- IDesignerGlyphProviderService glyphService = (IDesignerGlyphProviderService)designSurface.GetService(typeof(IDesignerGlyphProviderService)); WorkflowMonitorDesignerGlyphProvider glyphProvider = new WorkflowMoni ...Show All
