• Windows Forms how can I change mouseHoverTime property?

  I use the mouseHover event to switch the visibility of two panels. The default delay for this event is too short and the MouseHoverTime property is read-only in SystemInformation. How can i change it Technically, you can change it with the SystemParametersInfo() API function using the SPI_SETMOUSEHOVERTIME argument. You shouldn't do this though, it will affect the hover time for all applications, not just yours. You can't reliably delay the hover event with the timer, it won't run again when you've moved the mouse after it fired but before the timer expired. Here's an alternative: public partial class Form1 : Form { private Point mHoverPos; private bool mHoverDone; private Timer mHoverTimer = new T ...Show All

• Visual Studio LocalReport Export graph in Pdf

  I use LocalReport for generate export in Excel et pdf with Framework V2.0.50727. When RDL contain graph ( bar or pie) the size of file ( render) in pdf is 16Mo. In excel is OK ( 41ko) or with no graph in pdf (89 ko)   Parameter DeviceInfo is a empty string.   any idea We're looking at using local reports exported to PDF as a replacement for Crystal Reports (ReportServer is NOT an option, not even the Express version!!), which have to be emailed. Obviously we cannot use this if the PDF is uncompressed. The fact that is is working in the Express Edition implies that it should be relatively easy to incorporate compression in a service pack, rather than waiting for the next release of SSRS. ...Show All

• .NET Development Hex String To DateTime Conversion

  I am trying to convert a hex string that I get from an XML file into a DateTime variable in a C# program. The goal is to eventually update datetime columns in an SQL-Server table with this values. What I've got so far is a 28 character string thath looks like this: 3230303630333239313930353532 and a 10 character time offset hex string that looks like this: 2B30323030. From these 2 strings I have to come up with a DateTime stamp. I would sincerely appreciate some assistance to convert the above hex strings into a DateTime variable in C# or at least tell me how to do it. I have some code that converts the hex string into a byte array, but I don't know how to convert the byte array into a DateTime variable. How many bytes is the ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Question about Sharepoint Security across domains

  Hey guys, I have a question about Sharepoint and how it implements security. In our sharepoint implementation we use NT Authentication to access several sites on the Sharepoint server. These users are in the normal form of Domain1\User. Each of those users were given individual access by the sharepoint admin (not me). We recently created a new domain which will supersede Domain1 and are moving users over to the new domain (Domain2). Now users on Domain2 are getting an NT Challenge window when trying to access sites and documents that they used to have access to. They can get around it by typing in the credentials for Domain1, but that isn't a good solution because that domain will be going away. I am not sure how to ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView and focus

  Hi, This should be pretty easy to fix, but I just cannot find the C# code! I have a datagridview and some buttons to move the rows up and down. What I'm missing is the focus on the row. I think the code should be something like: this .dataGridView1.CurrentRow .Index = row - 1; But this is a read only method. Anybody knows Thanks, B. If I understand your question correctly, something like: this.dataGridView1.Rows[row-1].Selected = true; will put the focus on that specific row. Cheers ...Show All

• Smart Device Development COM port communication on emulator

  I have basically used this code (C#) http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.ports.serialport.readtimeout.aspx taken here from MSDN to make a com port communicator. I have done the basic adjustments to the CF 2.0, and I have handled the com port mapping in the emulator configuration. Using a similar program for COM port communication from the PC works fine. But I can't communicate through the COM port when I use the emulator. After the initialisation I check if the port is open, for what it's worth, but I can see with a break out box on the RS232 pinning that no bytes are sent although I get no error messages. I would be grateful for comments and tips on tutorials or tips on this issue. Since the threading in the CF is reduced, ...Show All

• Visual Basic Is it possible to instruct a module to return to a point of the code?

  Hello all. I would like to enquire whether it is possible to code my module to return to an earlier point of my code instead of using loops. For example, after my module catches an exception, can I use some commands to return to a specific point of my code Thanks in advance. Goto will certainly work but you should use with caution and stucture your code such that you shouldnt need to use goto's in the first place. Goto is not conditional and with this code shown above if the code keeps generating the same exception it would continue ad-infinitum. So you would probably want to couple the goto with some exit condition such as a counter. So that if you were wanting to retry something - you would ret ...Show All

• SQL Server OWC-XML Structure migration issues SQL2005

  Hi, I recently migrated a customer's BI solution from SQL2000 to SQL2005. He used to access the Analysis Services cubes via pivottable from OWC 9 or 10. Concerning Cubes, Measures and dimensions he now has the exactly same structure on SSAS as before on SQL2000. Now I have about thousands of reports in OWC 9/10 XML format which i have to migrate to OWC11 to work with SQL2005. I started replacing the version number, Dataprovider and the new Servername. Now connection can be established but I only see the reports measures. None of the reports dimensions (+ structure + filtering) can be seen in the pivottable report. Is there any documentation on what has changed in the xml format or any smart way to easy migrate owc9/10 xml-repor ...Show All
