• .NET Development Trace the Application in Runtime....

  Hi to all, i like to create a application, that will allow user to trace through out code runtime like f11, i will use reflection to open the methods in the user dll. how create a trace in a new window...... please help me........... is it possible, any ideas, i like to do that application in c#. You can't single step (F11) an application using reflection. The only way to support single stepping an application is to build a debugger. In this case you will then have to modify the generated code on the fly to add the breakpoint call after each line. You'll also need to build the entire debugging infrastructure to allow them to see variable values, etc. Honestly it is a lot of work and probab ...Show All

  What would be the best approach for having all the reports share a color palette. What i want to achieve is that when we want to change for example the color of our column header i somewhere change a value and all reports are modified.

• Visual Basic Debug code changes ignored

  I have been working on a single form project and everything was going along fine until... something unknown happened. Any changes I make to the code behind the form are ignored in debug mode. If I build the project, the exe sees the changes. If I go back to the IDE, I see the new code but when I run the project "F5" the program runs with the old code (before my most recent changes). I have checked several file dates and times and the code behind .vb file is saving the new changes. Debug seems to be stuck on some earlier version of the code. I found a few similar references in the forums that advised me to delete the .pdb file. I deleted it but when I F5, the .pdb file returns with the old date (the date of the file I deleted).

• Windows Forms Can't disable a button

  I am programming in c#. I have a button on my form that when clicked, it plays a wav file using the PlaySound method from winmm.dll. The wav is about 3 seconds long. The problem is that if I keep clicking the button during the 3 seconds the sound is playing, it queues all of the clicks, and plays the wav over and over. My Button is named btn. So I tried: this.btn.Enabled = false; PlaySound(...); this.btn.Enabled = true; Doing this successfully greyed out the button while the sound is playing, but it still accepts clicks, so it didn't fix my original problem. Is there some way to clear the event queue Or is there something else I'm doing wrong. I just want the button to not work while the sound is playing. I have also tried ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Reading the registry on Vista?

  Hi all, I'm trying to read a key from the registry on Windows Vista (Beta 2) from my C# program.

• SQL Server SSIS - OLE DB - IBM DB2 - SQLDUMP - more dumps than works....

  I have a package which access a DB2 database and pulls data from a single table. I can't put a specific event on it, but the package has been causing a dump to occur on a rather regular basis. The really odd part is sometime when I add a data viewer on the output link of the OLE DB Source it works....then it starts to dump again a couple of executions later. There are not date/time values involved in the result set, just character strings. Default code page is set to 1252 and use default page is set to False....any ideas appreciated - this is really starting to drive me nuts! Thanks It is really hard to tell what could be causing these failures. Please report your problems on the connect site wi ...Show All

• SQL Server how to loop through several excel sheets in a file in integration services

  Hello, I'm new at Integration services and I have an excel file with information in several worksheets. I want to loop through some specific sheets to retrieve the data and save it in a database table. I know how to retrieve the data from one sheet, but I don't know how to do it for several sheets. Any ideas ...I would appreciate any help. To clarify a bit more -- within my For Each loop container, I could always use Excel Destination task to write to a single "dummy" filename, and then use the File System task within the same For Each loop container to re-name the file to whatever I want (using my variable ). In this case, I end up with 100 workbooks rather than 1 workbook with 100 worksheets, b ...Show All

• Visual C# how to endure only one object instance exists

  i am adding a user control to a form programmatically but before i do i want to check if that control already exists, if it does exist i will instead just make it the active/visible control. How can check to see if a control already exist and how can i find a reference to it and make it active/visible Do you mean just one object per form Or one for the whole application E.g. if you have two forms, and Form1 already contains an instance of your control, and you try to add it to Form2, what do you want to happen Do you want Form1 to be brought to the foreground and the control to be made visible Or do you want to permit up to 1 control per form If it's one per form, then you'll need to iterate through ...Show All
