Smart Device Development Change font in ListBox
I want to have different style of font in ListBox like italic, bold and normal. How do I do that in .net CF Hi Tan, what you're looking for is an owner-drawn ListBox. That could be done with the DrawMode property: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.listbox.drawmode.aspx Unfortunately this property is not supported in the Compact Framework, so a solution could be writing your own Custom Control implementing a list of items, each with its own Font.

Visual C++ set<String> in Visual C++ .NET
How do you use a set of Strings If I say set<String> *st; String *s = S"FOO"; st->insert(*s); I get an "illegal use of managed type" message. thanks As Jonathan said, you can't use std::set as a container of the managed type System::String. There is no "set" in the .NET framework, but there is a collection, and Jonathan points you in the right direction. There happens to be a predefined collection that can be used for strings (but for other types you would use a Dictionary). Example code below: In C++/CLI (VS 2005), you cannot declare a pointer to a managed type, but you can declare a handle. String* should be String^. ...Show All
Visual Basic Login was modified/seems to have interfered with VB/SQL Server 2005 communication
Hi, While working a project, my domain profile was moved from Administrators to Users and back to Administrators. This seems to have caused problems with Visual Basic Express communicating with SQL Server Express. Whenever I try to open a connection through VB, the login fails and says that it "Cannot open user default database." This was working before the changes to our domain . Here's my connection string: strconn = "Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=" & _ "'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\OpsData.mdf'" & _ ";Integrated Security=True;;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True" I am able to get into SQL Server through the Management Studio, and can see ...Show All
.NET Development Editor attribute in plugin
I have a scenario something like this: ApplicationDir --bin ----Application.exe --Plugins ----MyControl.dll ----CustomProperties.dll The main application is like a placeholder for controls. It searches the Plugins folder for dll's that contains types that derives from System.Windows.Forms.Control. When a control is found it is added and shown in the main application. When a control is selected in the main application all it's properties are shown in a property grid. The properties can also be edited. So, MyControl.dll contains a control which exposes a property of type TimeInterval. The TimeInterval class is defined in CustomProperties.dll and have an editor attribute on itself, so that a custom editor can be used to edit that property. [E ...Show All

Windows Forms Is there an alternative way to use large datagridviews?
Hi. I was wondering if there's a way to utilize the DataGridView and to display a large dataset on screen. The problem is that my program has to work with a transposed dataset, so the datarows are vertical. I got a nice function from The CodeProject which takes a DataSet and returns a new Dataset where the rows/columns swap roles. It is great, but I have a little bit of a dilemma. The DataGridView component in .NET2.0 (i'm using VS2005 pro/C# by the way) has a limitation of not coping with a large number of columns (655 is it's limitation due to something called the FillWeight - which I've had no luck modifying or understanding). I've had an idea, but not sure whether it will work. If someone can study this and liaise with me ...Show All
Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Texture.IsDisposed
I noticed that the Texture class has a Dispose() method, but no IsDisposed property to go along with it. Is this purposeful Is there another way to tell if a texture has been released Texture is an abstract class. All of the concrete subclasses of Texture contain an IsDisposed property, including the most commonly used Texture2D. (but yes, they should include an abstract IsDisposed property on this class.) ...Show All
.NET Development Countdown Timer
I can't figure out how to make a timer countdown rather than counting up, I know that it has to do with System::DateTime::Subtract. I have a DateTimePicker, and I want the timer to start right when you change the value of the DateTimePicker, and I want the countdown to be counting down from the value I choose. For example if I choose August 14, 2006 on the dateTimePicker, I want the timer to be counting down from that date. Try this: System::TimeSpan diff = System::DateTime::Now.Subtract(dateTimePicker1->Value); label2->Text = diff.ToString(); You probably want to format it a little nicer, I'm sure you can figure that out... ...Show All
