• Visual Studio Express Editions Data grid view controls

  How do i get the data grid view box to work in my application. For instance save data to a file and open data from a file, and get the copy, cut and paste controls to work in my application. e.g. the copy control in a RTB = rtb.Copy and the copy control for a html editor is HTMLDoc2.exeCommand("Copy"), what is this command in the data grid view box Can any one help The datagridview control is as asp control and is not a forms control. The datagrid control is a forms controls and is usually bound to datasources such as an in memory table or XML not flatfiles.

• Visual C++ How can I get the ProgID of a COM dll if I did not have the source code of the COM ?

  How can I get the ProgID of a COM dll if I did not have the source code of the COM I appreciate your help. You can use OLE/COM Object Viewer to find the ProgID. It is an external tool available with Visual Studio 2005. Some tools can be found in the Tools menu bar by default. Others such as OLE/COM Object Viewer need to be added.

• SQL Server Header and Footer in Report Builder

  I recently installed SP1 for SQL2005 and was happy to see that I'm now able to use images in Report Builder, nice! However, what I would need even more is the ability to edit the header and footer of the report from Report Builder. I know I can do it in the Report Designer, but my users out there doesn't have access to it. I need the header for the following: Company logo, todays date and page numbering. I tried to save an .rdl file to disk, edit it in a text editor and inserted a header that way. My thought was to let the users open a pre-made "template.rdl" from disk instead of creating a new. However, as soon as I opened it and saved it again in Report Builder, the header was removed. Is there possibly any other way t ...Show All

• Visual C# Added a .Net Reference, error message "the type or namespace cannot be found"

  Hi All, I am sorry to bother you all with a stupid question, but I installed a new custom .Net control. I then opened up one of the example projects and tried to compile. I am receiving the same message, "the type or namespace cannot be found". VS05 throws up an exclamation symbol next to the reference. I got the same problem, when I opened up a project of my own, added the reference and then added a couple of lines to use the new object. How does the build engine (compiler, linker, whatever) know about the location With VB6 the installation of a COM object and then registering the control is all that is needed. Do I need to do something different here Thanks in advance, Marci Weinberger Adding ...Show All

• Windows Forms including dll in setup

  Hi, I've finished doing this appplication but i'm having problem with the deployment. In the designer I've added acrobat reader activeX and VLC player activeX. When creating the setup it tells me to check for the dependecies if they are added to the project. How do you add them Setup was created and installed to other computer were ok, but when running the program it show "System.InvalidOperationException". Whats the problem Unless you add more diagnostics to your app (such as describing what your code was doing) it's difficult to narrow this down to a solution. It might be reasonable to assume that your crash is related to missing dependencies rather than just a bug, so if it is a dependency then is it trying to use VL ...Show All

• .NET Development Low performance on ADODB .Save in Web Application

  Here is the code example: rs_Recordset.Save(sr_Stream, ADODB.PersistFormatEnum.adPersistXML) Response.Write(sr_Stream.ReadText) The bottleneck is the .ReadText property. For 3000 records it takes about 15min locally. The exported XML is used in PivotTable so it has to be generated as adPersistXML. Data fitering is done on the query level, so caching won't help. Are there any suggestions on how to improve performance on that Thank you in advance... ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Create new instance of Database all the time, or keep around?

  With the access to the underlying data store being abstracted and relatively hidden from us, I find myself wondering how to manage connection pooling and scalability. I have a static utility class that provides all the methods that generate queries. At the moment, it creates a singleton instance of the Database class (e.g. MyDatabase() , the one created by Sqlmetal) (this is for LINQ to SQL, not EF). Should I be creating and disposing of the database instance within each data request method, or should I be trying to maintain the reference to the static instance of the db My gut instinct tells me to do something like this : public static List<MyData> GetSomething(params) { using (Database db = new Database()) { var x = from .... ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Tools and Resources for Authors

  I'm a professional web developer interested in iHD/DVD authoring. At this point it is pretty difficult to get going due to lack of tools and resources and documentation. I am proficient in xml and javascript, but this is a slightly different bird for sure. What I am trying to figure out is - are the lack of resources a symptom of being early to the process, or is it a symptom of the content authoring industry (proprietary thinking) I used the validator to fix some of the resource issues, however I'm not sure how to solve the missing content items: ERROR: Could not find a part of the path 'G:\iHD\PerfTest 051130\HVDVD_TS\TITLE001.MAP Are you saying to just edit out any calls to load resources in \HDDVD_TS ...Show All
