• Windows Forms LinkLabel - AutoEllipsis on and automatic tooltip

  I wanted someone to confirm this for me before I go nuts. If I put a LinkLabel on a standard form, set AutoEllipsis to true and AutoSize to false and make the Text of the LinkLabel larger than the supplied region, the text is shown with an ellipsis and a tooltip will automatically appear with the entire text when the pointer is over the control. If I do the same on a UserControl instead of a standard form, the tooltip does not automatically appear when the text is too large. Is this by design I'm assuming that the standard form might be supplying addional services to the LinkLabel control. I wouldn't be so up in arms about this but, I have LinkLabels in UserControls and they do not automatically tooltip so I have to figure ou ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions printing items from database

  I am attempting to print items from a database. I have added the items as objects to an array list. When I click print preview, the items show exactly as I intended them to be. The final calculation in the preview is correct. However, when I do the actual printing, the calculated number (TotalPremium) doubles Sometimes, the items print more than once.

• Visual Studio Express Editions run method from a different class - oop issue :-(

  I'm struggling to get my head round OOP properly - please help! On my Form1 i have a button. this button calls a method "launchmMenu()" which is written within "public partial class Form1 : Form" in regards to the first option (non events) basically, you pass the object (current form instance) into the other class. When this object exposes public properties/methods, you can access it from the other class, when it has a reference of this object. Lets do an example shall we :-) for simplicity sake, lets have 2 classes, class1 (main) and class2 class2: private Class1 theMainClass = null; //constructor Public Class2(Class1 mainClass) { this.theMainClass = mainClass; } private void DoLaunchMe ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) The Including() operator

  Hello, How would I sub-query the child collection in an including clause to limit the number of child objects that come back. For example, when I do the following: from c in Customers select c).Including(c => (from o in c.Paychecks where (o.OrderDate >= startDate && o.OrderDate <= endDate) select o)); An exception is thrown that states "Including expression must refer to an immediate property". Is there a way to do the above I have a problem with this. When Including got a null refrence it didn't crash, now i get a contstraint error.

• .NET Development calling a webservice from classic asp - what are the limitations?

  Hi, I am trying to call a webservice from classic asp. So far, I can successfully communicate from classic asp to a hello world webservice using the MSXML Parser or the SOAP toolkit.

I have a combobox bound to a bindingsource which is also bound to a dataset with 2 related tables and a datagridview bound to the same bindingsource. What I want to do is : When the selectedindex property of my combobox changes, the corresponding cell value must be changed in the datagridview. But although the value in bindingsource changes, datagridview does not display the new value. That value is displayed after I move the mouse over that cell and make it invalidate its region manually.
