• Smart Device Development Application start fails on NETCF 1.0 SP3

  Hi, I have a big application for NETCF 1.0 SP3. Sometimes the app. fails when starting - without errors or Exceptions - simply the form disappears and this can occurs on different step of start (initialization) logic !!! Any ideas for the possible reason Regards Tihomir Ignatov In CF1 there are no global exception handlers. In CF2 you can catch a managed exception (AppDomain.UnhandledExcepton), but not a native one. And a native exception is what I suspect is happening. Does your application use PInvoke ...Show All

• .NET Development howto AppendPrivatePath in 2.0

  yet another migration question from me (I'm on a theme here). in 1.1 (in 2.0 too but with a compiler warning) I can append the private path of the default app domain using the AppendPrivatePath method. the 2.0 compiler compliains that I should use the private bin path of the appdomain setup info, but the problem with this is, that thats not accessible for the default app domain. I suppose the answer would be to specify that in the app config and I suppose thats what I'll end up doing (even though thats a lot of stuff I then have to change), but wanted to look stupid by asking if there was an alternative similar to AppendPrivatePath. The AppDomain.SetupInformation does not give you a valid ...Show All

• SQL Server Table permissions versus View Permissions

  Using SQL Server 2k5 sp1, Is there a way to deny users access to a specific column in a table and deny that same column to all stored procedures and views that use that column I have a password field in a database in which I do not want anyone to have select permissions on (except one user). I denied access in the table itself, however the views still allow for the user to select that password. I know I can go through and set this on a view by view basis, but I am looking for something a little more global. Just to explain the basics, normally a user will only have access to those objects which he was granted to either as a individual or within a group (e.g. "public" or any other SQL Group or Win ...Show All

• Windows Forms Get updated data from axSpreadsheet

  Hello, I am using a axSpreadsheet component in my Winforms application. How do I fetch data from cells which the user has entered at runtime For ex - I had programatically inserted data in cell A1 as - axSpreadsheet1.ActiveCell.get_Range("A1", "A1").Value2 = "Some Content"; On a button click I have the following code which gets me the data of cell A1 - axSpreadsheet1.ActiveCell.get_Range("A1", "A1").Text.ToString() However, if the user had entered some content in B1 at runtime, then axSpreadsheet1.ActiveCell.get_Range("B1", "B1").Text.ToString() returns me an empty string. How can I get the new/updated/modified data Thanks. ...Show All

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

  Hello, Summary: How do I set up text boxes so that when I enter numeric text in one box (named X_Test_Input) , it will raise events that the other box (named X_Accel_Raw_Value) will collect/consume and display the data in that second box. Overview: This is my first attempt Windows programming. My goal is to collect six numbers from an embedded device over Ethernet (five to ten times a second) and display them on my computer so as to have them available for further processing. In dividing this into small steps, I first want to be able to get values from somewhere and display that data. Only after I get the basic windows display part of this working will I attempt to get the data from the embedded device. In my ...Show All

• Visual Basic FlowLayoutPanel

  Hello All, I am trying to use the FlowLayoutPanel control, but I'm having a real challenge. I am dynamically (at runtime), trying to add text boxes and NumericUpDown controls to a FlowLayoutPanel. Formatting is my problem. In one cell, I want to add a textbox followed by a space or 2 and then the NumericUpDown control. I can’t seem to come up with the right combination to format this. Any ideas Thanks very much. I'm not sure what you mean by "cell"... The FlowLayoutPanel is a single container... You don't really get to control the spacing of the items - that's the point of FlowLayout - the contols lay themselves out. Some controls, like ...Show All

• SQL Server Procedure or function sp_MSupdatesysmergearticles has too many arguments specified.

  Hi, I've been on this one all day - and now tearing my hair out. I have a large SQL2005 database (migrated from SQL2000) which I'm trying to replicate using a VB6 front end. The application and database concerned have been working with no problems using merge replication for the last 5 years - however, I now need to port to SQL 2005. In the VB6 app, I'm using the SQLMerge9 control to handle the replication side of things. The code I'm using is exactly as per the code which works under SQL 2000, however, I'm getting an error message "Procedure or function sp_MSupdatesysmergearticles has too many arguments specified." when I try to initialize the subscription. I've seen one other item on the web with this problem, and this was so ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development uncompressed YUV to EVR

  Hi, I am writing a simple YUV media source to take in .yuv bytestreams and send it to the EVR. I have modified the MFT_Grayscale to act as a dummy transform to copy the yuv samples to the EVR. I am also using the playbackFX sample for the player. I'm having a problem with the player just showing a black screen, as if no samples are being sent to the EVR. I have verified that the samples are being processed in the dummy transform with the correct image size and attributes for my given yuv sample. I have tried other yuv samples and all just display a black screen, but the samples are being processed for sure. Is there any way to debug this to see if the samples are being sent to the EVR Or does anyone have any clues why this is happeni ...Show All

• SQL Server Permit user to select columns for a report: why not use Dynamic SQL?

  I certainly have read lots of negative comments about using Dynamic SQL. And I have read some of the excellent web pages on the subject, such as http://www.sommarskog.se/dynamic_sql.html I have learned much from those discussions. But I still find myself faced with a problem for which Dynamic SQL seems like the only reasonable solution: letting a user select the columns to include in a report, and the sort order for the output data. In the application of concern, there are maybe seven columns that one might want to have in a report. If the user can choose any combination of these seven columns, and the order in which they are displayed (as well as the SORT order), it would be necessary to write something like 7! (7-factorial = ...Show All
