• Visual C# problem about treeview in Dot net 2.0

  When a treeview have too many node(more than 65536,maybe), it can not diplay it! I write a small programm to test it, the code is below: You can create a new window application and copy the code to test it. If the child node number is 65535 or 65536, the scrollbar of treeview is gone and the treeview acts strange! If the numer is 100000, id only display just mor than 30000 nodes. I have searched msdn for the information of this problem, but got nothing. Does treeview have limitation on number of its child nodes Or the problem is caused by the scrollbar of the treeview private void InitializeComponent() { this .components = new System.ComponentModel. Container (); this .AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms. AutoSc ...Show All

• .NET Development Copying files over a network - best way?

  Okay, here goes... Machine A and Machine B are on the same LAN. There's a file, or more a series of files, in different formats on Machine A. On Machine B there is a Card Reader or USB type storage area. On Machine B, there is a .NET Application, not sure yet if it's going to be a smart or thin client. The job of the .NET App is to copy a file from Machine A to Machine B. Also, it would be nice if it showed a progress bar of the file coming across. I'm relatively new to .NET - any tips or ideas on the best way to go about doing something like this Mods - not sure if this is the correct area to post this thread in - please move if necessary If folders from which the files have to be co ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Deny delete permissions on source control

  Hello, I would like to know if there is a way to remove the ability to delete files on Source Control. I would like that the developers could add, check-out, check-in files on Source Control but that they were not able to delete them. I checked in the security and there is not an option for delete. Any suggestion Thanks in advance. Gloria There’s no good way to do this. The security system treats all pending changes the same way. Note that deletions are never permanent in v1. When we add a Destroy feature, it will have its own permission. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Bug or Feature : Behavior of OneWay bindings (July CTP)

  Hi, I'm using the July CTP and have run into a situation where Binding doesn't behave as I expected it to. I've isolated this behavior below and I'm not sure if it's a bug or if it's by design. If it is by design, I think the documentation should highlight this 'feature': I've created a Source object and a Target object: public class Source : INotifyPropertyChanged { double _floatingPointValue = 0.0; public double FloatingPointValue { get { return _floatingPointValue; } set { if (value != _floatingPointValue) { _floatingPointValue = value; _OnPropertyChanged("FloatingPointValue"); } } } public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged; private void _OnPropertyChanged(string proper ...Show All

• .NET Development Creating .cer/.pvk files in CLR

  Hello! I need to programatically generate certificates for SQL Server (I need to set expiration date very precisely, so I can't use makecert.exe or SQL Server itself). By now I have been able to generate a certificate using CertCreateSelfSignCertificate() from crypt32.dll, export it to .cer file and successfully import into my database. However, I don't know how to create .pvk file with private key, required by SQL Server. A simplified version of my code looks like this (I left only the significant fragments): ////////C++ part: unsigned char tab[100]; LPTSTR psz = L"CN=name"; CERT_BLOB cb; cb.cbData = 100; cb.pbData = tab; CertStrToName(X509_ASN_ENCODING, psz, CERT_X500_NAME_STR, NULL, cb.pbData, &(cb.cbD ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Child table not updating correctly?

  I have a person object, which has via a foreign key an address table attached to it in the LINQ designer. The address table has an addresstype which comes from a types table via a Foreign Key as well. When I create an instance of a person, and check the first address typeID I get a value of 4. Via my interface I change the value to 6 (a valid value in the types table), I can query the Address object and it will tell me it's set to 6. However, once I commit the changes via DBContext.SubmitChanges() the value rolls back to 4 in my local instance. I see not Exceptions being thrown.. and I'm just wondering if there is a bug somewhere in LINQ that isn't allowing the sub-tables for a given object to be updated properly Thanks. Jim ...Show All
