• Internet Explorer Development IE7 -- No more "history" button?

  There's no history buttton on the tool bars on IE7, like there was on IE5. Is there an option to add one someplace Having to go find the history by using Windows Explorer is pretty lame. Just hit Ctrl-H to open up History window. Following up on this, who decides what gets an entry into the History list I visited https://partners.microsoft.com/PartnerProgram/ContactMicrosoft.aspx , closed the instance of IE 7. Launched a new instance of IE, went to the History list, but the page wasn't listed. (It's not https, because there are https sites in the list.) Thanks ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Deployment walkthroughs are useless!

  OK. I love the concept of VSTO 2005. It took me very little time to develop an add in for MS Excel. It took me nearly 20 times the development time to deploy. This is the hardest environment I have ever had to deploy, I have developed in Foxpro, Standard VB .NET, ASP.NET etc. However, the walkthroughs for VSTO are useless. I followed these and my app would only work on the development machine. I kept getting the standard .NET security error. I used caspol, Deployment wizard etc to no avail. In the end I ignored the walkthrough step that said exclude assemblies and basically created my own set up program. This ended up working. I have to say I will be very reluctant to ever develop another solution based on VSTO again unti ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to change data type of datacolum after data is filled?

  I am using .NET 2.0. I have a tab splitted file and I convert it into a datatable after parsing it. But I don't know about the datatype of any datacolumn of datatable at the time of file parsing. Therefore by default the datatype of each datacolumn is string. After parsing, I bind this datatable to datagridview. Now when the user tries to sort a column of datagridview that has numeric or datetime values only, datagridview sorts it as string rather than numeric or datetime. I have observed that if I change the datatype of the datacolumn of datatable to int or datatime according to its contents then it is sorted correctly. So how can I change the datatype of datacolum after the data has been loaded in the datatable Any other way ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Can we add an operation to a service description once the serviceHost has opened?

  Initially my service has say two methods. I want to add a third method by calling one of the two methods. If any new client subscribes to the service it should be able to call all the three methods. The method which should be invoked when the dynamically added operation is called is implemented in the service class. Is this feasible yes i can create a service without defining an interface explicitly as u mentioned, but the behavior is the same as wat i'd posted when i added the dynamic operation. Thanks Arun ...Show All

• SQL Server Accessing (writing into) Terdata by ado.net and SSIS

  Hello everybody, my name is Christof and I#m currently trying to write into our Terdata Warehouse by SSIS. In the Management Studio we can perfectly access Terdata - reading from it - but we actually see no way writing back Data into that system.

• Visual Basic Show and hide a form

  I have a form (frmResults) that shows a list of results for a name search. I would like to keep it open but hidden after the user selects a record to view, which opens another form (frmMain) and hides itself. The frmResults' Load event fills a table adapter based on parms passed to the form (first and last name). I have a button on frmMain that returns to frmResults using My.Forms.frmResults.Show and Me.Close. Problem: when I try to return to frmResults I get this unhandled exception: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." It happens on the line where the table adapter is filled. Is there an easy fix for this or do I have to pass the name search criteria around to get the results to show again T ...Show All

• Windows Forms Purpose of System.ComponentModel.Container components variable

  What is the purpose of the System.ComponentModel.Container components variable which is created by the Windows Form Designer when it creates a form If I have an empty form it creates this object in the first line of InitializeComponent(). Once I visually add components to my form it removes that creation line and never uses the variable again. I do see where it is used as a container for components. For a Windows form the Contols property serves as a container for controls. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions geting numeric data in and out of text boxes
