• SQL Server How to change the SSMS default file location ?

  After editing a SQL query, I'd like the Save As... dialog to default to a specific folder on my local hard drive. At the moment it is pointing me to MyDocuments\...\Projects. Where can I change the default folder I couldn't find anything under Tools, Options... Could you file this as a suggestion on Microsoft Connect http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/ . I believe we store our settings in files here: Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Shell I could not figure out which file to edit. Before you mess with those files, you should probably take a backup. If you figure it out, let us know. Paul A. Mestemaker II Program Manager Micr ...Show All

• Windows Forms Is there any way can stop the datagridview auto scrolling

  I have a datagridview. Everytime user changed a cell, my on rowchanged handler will save the data into the database. I also will call the acceptchanges to make local table's status up to date. The problem is, datagridview bounded with the table, in some cases the datagridview will scroll itself automaticlly. It will mess up the user selection. The worse case is, if I enable the mutiple selection, the scroll action will select a range of cell, ranther than one cell that user clicked. Anyone have any clue that I can disable the auto scrolling when bounded data was updated. Thanks ...Show All

If you don't have a shortcut then create it with ActiveSync. If you planning to give that application to others make sure to include shortcut into the application’s CAB file. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Some DLLs load, others won't

  Hello. I've been trying to display dialog boxes from two different DLLs. AfxLoadLibrary() loads the first DLL fine; with the other DLL, I get an error that says the DLL cannot be found. The thing is that I know the paths to both DLLs are correct, because they're both in the same place. Also, a resource-hack program I have loads both DLLs fine.
