• Visual Basic How add code to the close button (title bar)

  I'd like to display a msgbox when the user clicks the close button (X) at the title bar. An option to the user is to save data or not. I tried to use the event .disposed, but the frame was already closed before the msgbox is shown. This will work, but it would be more 'fancy' if the form was still visible. Is there any form event for the close button Thanks Where are you looking for this specific event This is the BaseClass event: you probably need the FormClosing (or FormClosed ) event - unless there is some specific reason you need the baseclass Closing event. In which case, yes, you would have to handle (code) it manually. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Extending the functionality of the table classes generated by Visual Studio Dataset Designer

  Hi, Probably this was answered earlier ... appreciate any pointers... We are using a dataset that is generated by the Visual Studio designer. We would like to extend the functionality of the table classes that the designer generates in a dataset, by making them derive from our own base class - without losing the ability to use the designer later on to add new tables to the dataset. For example, the desginer generated the class in the MyDaset.Designer.cs file: public partial class MyDataSet : System.Data.DataSet { ... ... public partial class myDataTable : System.Data.DataTable, System.Collections.IEnumerable { } .... .... } We would like to have the designer derive the class instead from, say myBa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Create a new tab window

  Hi I would like to create a new tool window that will be located side by side the "Start page" in the vs2005. My intention is that page will contain data on the projects in the disk. I know how to create the window but I don't know how to make it tabbed and how to locate it next to the Start page Thanks Avi It's difficult to say if you don’t post the code, but you can get any toolwindow (if created) iterating the Windows collection and using the Kind (GUID) or Caption (be aware of localization) properties. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Problem: Xbap won't design xaml in subfolders; IDE goes "Whoops"

  In Visual Studio 2k5, I create an Xbap app, runs fine w/ F5, displays in IE 7 no problem. The App.xaml <Application> element has an attribute StartupUri="HomePage.xaml" which is correct, app runs, no problems. In the project, if I use Add New Item to add a Page (WPF) in the default (base) folder, it works fine. The IDE designer works, the page can be navigated to at runtime, everything's great. If I try Add New Item and create a page in a subfolder, the page is created as before (with the xaml & .cs) but the xaml won't design visually. If I try to flip to the design tab, I get a Whoops message, saying error reading designer file. The App.xaml file's <Application> element's StartupUri attribute now shows as a ...Show All

• SQL Server how to utilize user defined template

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Channel Model

  Hi, Im trying to dig a bit deeper in the channel model. I can't seem to find a satisfactory explanation on: What is the relation between a ChannelListener, Channel, ChannelDispatcher and EndPointDispatcher. What is the construction sequence when you open a host (also taken into account the channeldispatcher and endpointdispatcher). How is it that a channeldispatcher (linked to a channellistener) can have multiple endpoints. Many thanks in advance for some pointers. Regards, W. Jansoone http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms734665(vs.80).aspx is a nice doc to look at that talks about ChannelDispatcher & EndpointDispatcher. Here is my own quick summary.

• .NET Development Remoting server keeps crashing

  Hi I've written a simple Windows service that monitors printers and print queues using WMI. Clients can connect to the service using remoting to monitor and control the printers (clear the queue, pause/resume printing etc). Everything works fine most of the time, but every so often (once or twice a week maybe) the service crashes with no error message - the event log looks like: .NET Runtime 2.0 Error (Description EventType clr20r3, P1 myprinting.service.exe, P2 2.1.4.25131, P3 45129a57, P4 mscorlib, P5 2.0.0.0, P6 4333ab80, P7 4055, P8 a3, P9 n3ctrye2kn3c34sgl4zqyrbfte4m13nb, P10 NIL.)

• SQL Server FTP task limitations

  Hi, I'm thinking about using the FTP task in an integration i am developing, but before i do, i need to get an idea that what i want to do is possible. With the FTP task could i get a list of directories on the FTP server, and compare the folders with a result set returned from a SQL query. If any of the directories on the FTP site then i want to download each of the relevent directories and there contents to the local machine. Could someone give me an idea as to if this is possible via the task, or if indeed a script task would be better Many thanks, Grant Thank you one and all for your suggestions. I'll look into the /n software component and see if that can solve at least part of my problem. To be hone ...Show All

• Architecture where should I put this method (class design question)

  Hi, if i am working on bug tracking system for example where technical support agents log (or create) new bugs in the system. In this situation, I guess we ll have an employee (or supportAgent class) and a bug class. So where should I put the method: createNewBug in the supportAgent class or in the Bug class or both Pls let me know if my question doesn t make sense.   Thank you All what the employee does is: fill out a little form about a bug and presses submit, then the bug goes to the DB. So we need to put a method SaveBug that calls the data tier. I guess SaveBug ll be in Bug class rather than Employe class or not if so how would the employee class call the savebug method. i guess we need another metho ...Show All
