• Windows Forms Combo Box Selections

  I am displaying data from an access Db into a combobox. My Db table has two fields, Cust# and Cust Name. What I am trying to do is display the Customer name in the Combo Box. That much I have done. When I select one of those records. I want another textbox on the form to be given the corresponding Customer # that relates to the Customer name that I just chose in the Combobox. Can anyone direct me on how to do this thanks tattoo sure. you have 2 options here when the customer has been chosen (the customer name), do a query on the datatable to filter it to bring just the record details of the selected customer, then get the ID and place it into this other control of yours. something l ...Show All

• Windows Forms TextBox Scrolling

  I am trying to figure out how to force a multi-line, word-wrapping textBox control to auto-scroll to the start (top) of the text rather than the bottom after it receives more text than is displayable in its visible text area (I am using C#). The only way I know how to handle this situation is using the following two lines of code, however, I feel there must be a better way to set the scroll position to the top. textBox1.SelectionStart = 1 ; textBox1.ScrollToCaret(); Any Ideas Cheers - Griffonbait That's the easiest way to do it though. Your alternative would be to reflect the AppendText method and reverse it. However, that's a bit more involving and you'll have to use unsafe code and p ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Backup for a single team project

  Hi we are using a single server for multiple team projects (each is a different group). we currently have a full & continues backup for the whole DB. The problem is that if we need to resotre only one TP it will have to include all the others as well. Is there a way to set a backup for only a single TP and if not what's the best practice for handling this situation thanks, Guy agreed - it's definitely something we're hoping to get in. As a FYI, it's not a _great_ answer, but a worst-case scenario in V1 is to "clone" your server and then use TfsDeleteProject to delete the N-1 projects from the new server (and the one project from the old server). Usually this isn't a via ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) xbap's can't upload images??

  Further to http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=789627&SiteID=1 : It seems that using BitmapFrame.Create(...) throws an exception due to MediaPermissionImage being set to "SafeImage" for xbaps. Since this function seems to be the universal method to stream an image, as in: TiffBitmapEncoder encoder = new TiffBitmapEncoder(); encoder.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(image)); encoder.Save(stream); and a stream can be used to get a buffer: stream.getbuffer then you can't use a web service to upload an image using a byte array, from the buffer, as an argument. Naturally, that is the technique I have been working on. Is there an official way to sent an image to a web service function wi ...Show All

• Visual C++ Decorations on C++ DLL function declarations really needed?

  I used the _stdcall decorators on the Visual C++ function definitions and declarations, but I couldn't get communication between the DLL and the Visual Basic application that was trying to call the functions of the DLL.. When I removed the declarations from the VC code almost completely (all but for the DLL_Main function definition), it worked fine.  Is there any disadvantage to using this approach   Everyone I communicated with about it , including my boss and people that answered the MIcrosoft help posting that I put up, stated that you have to use those decorations.  Why is that   It works fine without it so far.  My boss will be back from travel tommorrow.  I was hoping to find out today so I can make ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System No errors in list but build still fails with Error MSB4018

  I have 7 DB projects in a solution. I have fixed the errors in all and 6 now build fine. But one still will not build even thought there shows no errors in the error list. I googles this but found little and it all related to a permission issue. I have a local instance that VS is using for its design time validation DB and the account I am using has admin rights on that instance.

• SQL Server SQL Server 2000 - Availability whilst restoring logs

  I need to ensure users can submit SQL queries (readonly) to a database whilst transaction logs are restored (at 15 minutes intervals.) Is this possible If you have the same version of SQL Server on both ends of a log shipping configuration, you can use the WITH STANDBY option to be able to access the database in between updates. Unfortunately in your case, there is complication of differing database formats. Before SQL 2005 can make use of the database files, they must be updated to the SQL 2005 format. This is done the first time the database is recovered under SQL 2005. So, you will not be able to access your log shipping database until both sides are at the same version of SQL Server. ...Show All

• SQL Server Reporting Services 2000

  When i save a report as a web archive page breaking for the report is not enabled The entire data is displayed in a single page even if paging properties are enabled for the report. That is expected behaviour. The paging delivered on the web is a server side operation. The only way to get paging in a offline html format would be for Reporting services to create a separate html file per page, effectively generating a whole website for you. And the only way to get it as a single download would be for it to generate the multiple files on the server and zip them up into an archive. This is not currently supported. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Problems: Deploy DSL in the Same Machine

  Hi, I'm in the middle of crisis right now. I'm now at the stage to deploy my DSL project. So I found the walkthrough in MSDN for deploying DSL, and tried to implement it with new simple DSL just like it said. I did exactly as it wrote there, it was going well until I read about this installation on the same machine. After I debug my DSLSetup project, I un-install the dll of my DeploymentTest in the assemblies folder just like it says in How to: Remove a Domain-Specific Language. Nothing more. OK, is there anything I did wrong here so far Problems: 1. After I install the DSL, my DSL package didn't appear as it's supposed to. So I assume my installation is failed. But the dll's of my DSL are in the folder that I specified before at the ins ...Show All
