• Visual Studio Express Editions Where do I store a .bmp file for use in a usercontrol??

  I've made a usercontrol that uses a .bmp image. It works fine when i'm testing the control in the test container, but when I add the control to another project an error comes up and says the image cant be found. Image xyz = Image.FromFile("xyz.bmp"); is what i'm using (the actual .bmp file is in the release folder where the .dll is). Do I need to use another method, or store the file somewhere else Hi, If you use code to load a external image in the program, you must distribute the image in the right place. Otherwise, you can add the image into the resources of the project, in this way you dont need to distribute the image separately. Thank you ...Show All

• .NET Development Update DataSet with the values of the inserted row

  Hey, First of all i work with an access database. In my program i made an DataAdapter with retrieves rows from the database from two tables(through an inner join). Because the dataset linked to this DataAdapter is represented in a datagridview i also wrote insert, delete and update commands. The way i solved the insert in two tables is with an transaction. In the RowUpdating event of the DataAdapter i create an transaction and manually insert the row in one of the tables. The insertcommand of the dataadapter will handle the insert in the other table. In the RowUpdated event of the dataadapter i commit the transaction. This works all fine, except for the fact that some values in the datagrid are left empty because then the defa ...Show All

• Windows Forms ClickOnce Only One Version

  Is there a way to delete the old version of the publication before installing the new using ClickOnce Deployment I've deployed 5 versions of an app in the last 2 month (40 mb each).

• SQL Server Analysis Services Perfomance Issues (when open a cube definition)

  Hi we are dealing whit a perfomance issue in Analysis Server 2005 working with olap cubes. This cubes are part of a solution with a view (91 tables) and every time we try to access some meta data of the cube in the Visual Studio 2005 (i.e.: Calculations, KPIs, etc) it takes a lot of time to read the metadata of the cube. The cubes are not so big, but every time we try to get the cube metadata we have problems.In Example; it takes more than 3 minutes to get the structure of the cube in the browse section; but after this we can easily drop fields to the sections of the cube designer and watch the cube data and calculations. We have the same problem in Excel 2007 when we try to connect to the Analysis Services database and read som ...Show All
