• Windows Forms should i use MDi or controls

  hi all. i have to create a simple application with a main form and a grid on it. when the user dbl-click the grid rows a second form will show more detail's on that row. i want to build an mdi applicatin, but i was tald that there are bugs in the MDI property and sometimes the mdi lost it's pointer to the child forms, and this is why i sholud you a main form and controls, insted of forms, that will be docked to the main from. is it true I have done a fair bit of MDI development and have not experienced anything close to what you have described. I expect that those claiming a bug are doing so because they have done something not quite right and don't know it. (For instance, The mdiParent does not maintain a POINTER to ...Show All

• SQL Server Merge Replication with SQL Mobile 2005

  We are using SQL 2005 (SP1) and mobile agents with SQL Mobile. We are seeing an excessive number of updates after a device's database is reinitialized. My understanding was that if I generate a new snapshot or reinitialize all subscriptions (from the server), the devices would only get what the database looks like right now (inserts only) after syncing and/or reinitializing, but they are actually getting the right number of inserts and a huge number of updates in Replication Monitor. Any ideas Thanks! Mike Thanks for th update for this issue. yes, seeing update is exact X * insert number does indicate there could be issues. so is both Log and log_history was published Please keep us updat ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Problem using SurfaceFormat.HalfVector2

  I've been trying to adapt the C++ DirectX motion blur sample to XNA. This sample works perfectly on my NVidia 7900GT. In my own program I successfully create a "velocity" render target with SurfaceFormat.HalfVector2. Unfortunately something goes wrong with the graphics system when I set this with SetRenderTarget() - the program doesn't hang, it just refuses to render anything after that. This is very strange because I don't even have to use the blurring pixel shader (which in turn uses the velocity render target's texture) for the problem to exist. The act of calling SetRenderTarget() with the HalfVector2 render target seems to cause the problem. If I use SurfaceFormat.Color for the render target the program renders as normal, th ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2000 Max outs Memory even with 32GB RAM

  Hi I am joining the thread that initially Mike started. We have a x64 bit SQL Server with 32GB RAM. On start up sqlserver.exe starts with 15 to 20MB of RAM. After that the memory gradually increases at a step of 100MB and reaches 31.8 GB at the end. We don't see a out of memory situation so far and the memory remains the same, once the sqlserver.exe reaches that level we are facing application in stability issue.

• SQL Server package with a custom component (log provider) runs in BIDS, but doesn't run where deployed.

  Hi, I have a package with a custom log provider, which runs in BIDS. However when I deploy the package onto SQL Server and run it on the deployed machine , if fails: "failed to decrypt protected XML node DTS:Password...key not valid for use in specified state..." Now this is definately to do with the custom log, as if I take it out & redeploy, I can run it on the deplyed server + also run it within a job. I have entered the custom log provider library (+ other required DLLs) in the GAC on the deployed machine, but I'm clearly missing something. Any ideas pls I'm really stuck.

• Windows Forms Can I generate a managed resource DLL at run time?

  Reading through the .NET 2.0 documentation, I get the feeling that the answer is yes, but I can't find the steps I need. I am developing for Windows Mobile, and have a need to provide two different types of multi-lingual support. One is typical translation from English into other languages, which I can cope with quite easily using all the design time features of VS 2005. The other kind of support I need is not so much for the language in use, but rather the terminology. The system I am developing 'plugs in' to several different packages, and we would like the screens on our mobile application to use terms that match the clients' existing back-end systems. For example, what one product calls an 'Account', another will call a 'Clien ...Show All

• .NET Development how to add a user control dynamically ?

• Visual Studio Tools for Office InsertAutotext() not working properly in VSTO 2005. (Word, C#)

  This is my problem. I have a Word-template created in Word 2000. I use this template as template to create a VSTO-enabled version of the same template for Word 2003 (basically nothing more than adding an actionpane and stripping out the old VBA-junk.) The template has several autotextentries and I thought it would be a piece of cake to just convert this into C# using the nice litte bookmark object which has both a text attribute and a InsertAutotext() method. You fill in the text and call the method. Seemed straightforward enough. Well, I was wrong. When it does work, once in about every 200 times, it indeed is straightforward enough but It just doesn't work the other 199 times and for the life of me I cant figure out why. When I ...Show All

  Hello All I am working a project that would take a monthly bill that is given to us in access. I am trying to create a program that would do this by just selecting the Access file and then uploading into SQL2000 so that we could do our monthly bills and look at usage. What would the easiest way of creating this app be I was thinking of doing a read of the access table then on each read do an insert. Like the following ACCESS READ SQL2000 INSERT NEXT would this be correct or is there a simpler way of doing this. Thank You for your suggestions.

• Windows Forms DataGridView Slow Changing Backgroud Color
