• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Help with Object Data Provider.

  I really don't have code to post because I am not sure the correct way to do this, or even if using a ObjectDataProvider is what I want. What I would like to do is take the UI interface from the example here: http://blogs.msdn.com/atc_avalon_team/archive/2006/03/15/551721.aspx And morph it to use a database. I've established the connection to the database and verified its working, my problem is I don't know how to properly establish the binding, or if I should just do it 100% from VB code behind. However, if I do it that way, I think I will lose the ability to group in my list view. I've been banging at the objectdataprovider for a couple of hours with no luck. As an example the field names are: name, billdate, billhours, client, ...Show All

• Windows Forms Enabling/Disabling ToolStripMenuItem objects

  Hi, I have a big MenuStrip and I want to create a Sub to enable or disable each ToolStripMenuItem, where the Item name and the status are parameters for the Sub.

• SQL Server Choosing the most frequent

  There must be a way to do this simply. We're running SQL Server 2000. I'm looking for some generic SQL statement that I can apply. If I have a table with a person column and a location column and multiple records for the same person / locatioin combination, how do I select the person with the location they most frequently visited Say George visits Mexico 5 times, and the Bahamas twice and costa rica once. I would have 8 records in my table for George. The data looks something like this: George/Mexico George/Mexico George/Mexico George/Mexico George/Mexico George/Bahamas George/Bahamas George/Costa Rica Ben/Brazil Ben/Brazil Ben/Peru The results would be: George/Mexico Ben/Brazil Thanks!

• SQL Server Selecting another field from the row with the max

  For a select statement like: select f1, max(f2), f3 from t group by f1 how do I say 'f3 from the same record that you found the max of f2' Thanks! For small fonts in posts, just copy the text and paste in notepad or similar... =;o) Anyhow, apart from using a subselect, you can also find the corresponding 'f3' by a join between the derived result with max(f2) and the base table t (same assumptions as above though) select x.f1, x.maxf2, t1.f3 from ( select f1, max(f2) as maxf2 from t group by f1 ) x join t t1 on t1.f1 = x.f1 and t1.f2 = x.maxf2 /Kenneth ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Reset or not reset a IDirect3DDevice9?

  Hi @ all, i'd want know if calling IDirect3DDevice9::reset() is the correct way after switching from windowed mode to fullscreen. In PresentParameters there are some attributes that have sense only in fullscreen mode, as well as FullScreen_RefreshRateInHz or MultiSampleType. Have I to call reset() function Is it the correct way What do I have still to check Thx ;) ProfEclipse wrote: Be aware that certain changes to the present parameters, such as bit depth, will require that the device be released and recreated. You can test for that, or just let the Reset fail and then fallback to device recreation. How did you get into this conclusion ...Show All

• .NET Development Performance in DotNet remoting

  Hi, Application: We have developed a DotNet Remoting application which acts as a server to Calculate analytics. This server takes inputs from different client applications and respond with the analytics. This server is run on a "Single-call" mode so that each request is created independently for scalability. In some scenarios the requests from the client are sent parallely using different threads to speed up the process. Also, this remoting server uses some third party libraries for calculations which takes a longer time to compute the analytics and these libraries do not support multi-threading. Problem Statement: - Keeping number of users and different requests, Request / Response volume is very high. There are case ...Show All

• Smart Device Development how to get the root folder using OPENFILENAME

  Hi All, Is there any means by which i would be able to access root folder of the device and the files there using OPENFILENAME or by any other means. Thanks in advance Sanjeeth Hi Sanjeeth, Doing this is against the recommended designed for windows mobile design guidelines and hence there is little support within the OS for doing this. One solution would be to utilise the tgetfile library available from Tillanosoft ( http://www.tillanosoft.com/ce/tgetfile.html ). This however is not free. Doing a quick websearch also brought up a "gsgetfile.dll" and related utility, http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php soft=752 , it may be another avanue to investigate.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Modifying default style/template for subclassed control

  Hi, I would like to subclass the MenuItem class and add a HighlightBackground property which would make the highlighted background of the control configurable. Currently, the background can be set by using the Background property, but the highlighted background is hard-coded in the framework. My first approach was to use a Style and add a Trigger to set the background based on the property IsHighlighted. This did not work. My second approach was to provide a custom ContentTemplate for the control. I used the template for MenuItem posted in mshelp. This template, however, is not the one actually used by the class. The one used by the class displays a popup with squared corners and check marks. The mshelp version displays a popup with round ...Show All

• .NET Development halt a databind in progress?

  I have a very large query, and I'd like to present the user with per-page results. I have no interest in using the datagrid to do this, and have written my own paging object. For various reasons I want to halt a databinding operation once a certain condition is met. I do NOT want to use e.Item.Visible = false; which solves only the display problem and yet iterates unecessarily when really what I want the code to do is "stop binding, and exit gracefully". Ideally I could use the SqlDataReader object and set some sort of bounds (which it doesnt currently have) that could tell it to "jump to record X, and close out at Y records". This should not be confused with the SqlDataAdapters ability to fill within bounds ...Show All
