• Smart Device Development Is it possible to suppressing events temporarily?

  Hi, How can i suppress events for a short time on a form. My prob is that i've a listivew on a form, say A. The item_Activate event on the listview creates a new form, say B and shows it. But as on PPC it takes few seconds to display a new form. The mean while if i tap on another listview item on A, it creates another child form. Now what i need is, i should disable any events( or the same item_Activate event) on A from firing, until the item_Activate event handler is executed. This is just one case in the app. There are many such cases where i need this kind of a check. How do i do this Plz help! Thanks, ...Show All

• SQL Server What is sysname?

  USE <database, sysname, AdventureWorks> What is "sysname" object I frequently see it among parameters for stored procedures. Thanks. Hi Alex, Good to hear things are looking up. You're right that the trick here is to concatenate the table name into your SQL statement. I'm not sure what you're refering to with regards to the buttons in VS that run queries. Based on your description, it seems like you're just trying to automate the creation of a bunch of structurally identical tables to quickly build you database. As I've mentioned, I'd probably do this in C# just because that's where I'm more comfortable. I'm sure you could also write a query in Management Studio to do this. Since this is a one time thin ...Show All

• Visual Basic Startup Items? & Hiding / showing forms?

  Basicly I'am requesting this: How does one create a 2 forms that you can move back and forth from though each form your NOT using will hide, on top of this, how do I dispose of one form and then come back to the form as a new instance. My theory was that i use 3 classess two as forms and one as a main class, the main class controls the instances on what is shown and what is not, though im unable to adchieve this. Has anyone got some sample code that can help me out .... Please keep things simple and straight forwards im repeat im currently a rook at this language. Thank you. Say i have a main form, then i make a new instance of a new form (form2) but when i show form2 i want to hide the main form(form1) now I've finshed wi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Strange Load Test Behavior

  Hi, We use several unit tests which exercise web services in a load test. One of the unit test runs a process that takes up to 5 minutes to complete. The load test is set up for 99% of the users to run unit tests which complete fairly quickly (< 1 second) while the remaining 1% runs the unit tests which takes a long time to complete (to simulate a data import). When run as a standalone unit test, everything is fine. When we incorporate the long unit test into the load test test, the tool kicks off a much larger number of tests than it was told to do. The problem seems to be that the tool thinks that no tests of type 'long unit test' have been started yet as the tests take 5 minutes to complete. It must be looking at some performan ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Missing Object Test Bench menu items?

  I have just installed Visual Studio Team System RC and I can not for the life of me find out how to display an object within the Object Test Bench. The help gives the following instructions: In the Class View , right-click the name of the class or struct whose instance you want to create. Click Create Instance to display the public constructors of the class. Select the constructor to display the Create Instance Dialog Box . In the Create Instance dialog box, provide the parameters, and then type the name of the object. The name is not provided by default; you must provide a name. Check the Object Test Bench tool window for the object shape. I have tried the above but to no avail. The Create Instance menu item doesn ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions randomizing cards

  I am building a memory-style game in vb2005 express. I can't figure out how to randomize the cards you have to pick from. I have an array of 20 cards, an array of 10 images, and I need to match them without repeats. (Two cards for every picture.) I am looking for a way to do it without using 8bazzillion if...then statements either. (I know that would work but it would take forever.) Thanks! You might want to have a look at Dr. James McCaffrey's latest Test Run column article Randomness in Testing . In there he discusses randomness generation, including correctly shuffling lists of items (like a deck of cards). As well, he discusses common mistakes with shuffling algorithms. ...Show All
