• Windows Forms Refreshing DataGridView from DataTable

  Hello, I am trying to refresh a DataGridView from a DataTable. The DataGridView is connected to the table via a binding source,( also tried with direct connection using datasource and datamember) The DataTable is filled by a comma seperated value file that the user selects at runtime. The file could have an arbitrary number of columns. The code to import into the data table works and I have verified that the table is populated with data. But the DataGridView does not display anything. It does not show columns or rows. How do I refresh or push the updated table data to the datagrid view I have tried to do refresh(). I have also tried resetting the datasource and datamember for the datagridview. Thanks, -Adam ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Game Component Design Guidelines?

  Anyone have any suggestions, tips, experiences, etc regarding designing and developing Game Components With the move of the GraphicsComponent to a service (which makes sense), one of my questions is remains: what makes a good Game Component In pre beta 1, other Game Components that were hinted at were a Camera and Fps Counter. In beta 2, would these still be Game Components, or be left at system-level Is the choice as simple as whether or not your would-be-component has an Update method that takes a single GameTime parameter Same goes for IDrawable, if a Draw method with a single GameTime parameter is sufficient, should this be a Drawable Game Component Is it a never-ending debate such as the guidelines for designing Interfaces ...Show All

• Gadgets multiple Web.Network.createRequest

  Hello I'm trying to develop a gadget with a search-interface that includes a text input field and a button. When you press the button a function is called that takes the text from the the input field and attaches it to the url which is then passed on to the Web.Network.createRequest Method. The resulting xml file is then parsed and the results are displayed. No problem if you hit the button the first time. But if you try to perform a second search (with different text), nothing happens! Are there some restrictions on the Web.Network.createRequest method Any help woul be greatly appreciated. Thanks, sam Hello Thanks for answering. I discovered that the problem was not the Web.Network.cre ...Show All

• Smart Device Development WM 5.0 + VS2005 + SQL Mobile Problem.

  Good morning. A few people in here have helped me out with various noob questions I've popped out while developing my first Mobile app. Now I seem to have hit a major stumbling block. I've been scouring the net for several days trying to find an answer but I can't seem to make sense of the wealth of information. (The abbreviated gist of my post is - "Why can't I run SqlCe classes under Windows Mobile 5.0 and Visual Studio 2005 ") The story is this: * I developed the app using VS2003 and CF 1.0, succesfully deploying it to a Windows Mobile 2003 SE device. The app used SQL CE 2.0 as part of its operation. * The device we have been given now (Symbol MC70) which will be the production model has just been catastrophically diagnosed as ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Custom alerts and inability for Daily/Weekly delivery options...

  Hello All, I have an app that allows users to create more customized alerts for their projects etc. I exposed the functionality for the users to choose Immediate, Daily, or Weekly delivery. There are built-in delivery times in TFS. When I create a subscription, no matter what delivery time I set, I always get Immediate emails. Daily/Weekly don't seem to be working. Is this a known bug or is there something I am missing Thanks, ~Joe I just checked the code and previous owner and found that it was not implemented and at last moment we missed to remove this enumeration from linking service. So, only immediate delivery will work in V1. ...Show All
