• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) TreeViewItem width to fit control & transformation

  Hi! 1)Is there any way to set TreeViewItem width in such way that they fit eaxactly all free space in the TreeView. (smth like items in listbox) I cannot manually set it in code because treeview width is defined automatically. 2) How can i apply transformations only to the treeview item and not to its child elemwnts (All effects are applied at node expansion, i tried to set RenderTransform of child elements to null but it didn't help) Or maybe i can perform all transformations before node is expanded but just after + button is clicked but i didn't find necessery event Thank you if you copied and pasted from the link I pasted in the same window/page in the resources section, you dont need to do the follow ...Show All

• Visual C# Unicode data in Database!!

  Hi all, Can we store the unicode data / culture specific text into my database I'm using VC# 2005 for my App and my database is a .mdb file. I have some strings in local languale like Hindi, India. Now... can i store these string values in my database Pls suggest any related weblinks or some code sample! Thank you. Soujanya Conversion to and from Unicode into a DB is pretty much automatic. The column(s) that will store Unicode need to be NCHAR or NVARCHAR rather than CHAR and VARCHAR. If you make this change then ADO.NET will handle the rest. Note that when switching to Unicode you are cutting the maximum size of the column in half because Unicode requires 2 bytes whereas ANSI requires 1-2. Michael Tayl ...Show All

• Visual Basic using folderbrowsedialog geting filenames

  how do i get the name of the files in the folder that the user selects and also get the extentions on them First you should check if the user clicked the ok button on folderbrowserdialog. This is the return value of the ShowDialog() method. The name of the selected folder can then be retrieved from the SelectedPath property of the FolderBrowserDialog. Next, you should use the classes from System.IO namespace to get a DirectoryInfo instance and call GetFiles() to get all the files. Private Sub Button1_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim dialog As FolderBrowserDialog = New FolderBrowserDialog() If dialog.ShowDi ...Show All

• Visual Studio debug XSLT - how can I specify an xsl:param to the stylesheet?

  I have a stylesheet level xsl:param that I want to pass in using IXSLProcessor.addParameter. I seem to have passed it in OK when run from code, but I want to see what happens in the debugger as all is not well. How do I pass in the param to the stylesheet whilst running in the xlst debugger This is possible. XSLT Debugger uses XslCompiledTransform -- managed implementation of XSLT processor. IXSLProcessor is MSXML interface and you can't pass it to XslCompiledTransform. XslCompiledTransform use XsltArgumentList to pass parameters to transform: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemxmlxslxsltargumentlistclasstopic.asp To do this you need create XslCompile ...Show All

• SQL Server Problems with performance when programmatically printing large amounts of pages

  We are using VB.NET 2005 to develop a WinForms application that uses SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services to produce reports. Originally we tried  using code found on Bryan's WebLog,  http://blogs.msdn.com/bryanke/articles/71491.aspx , but found that for reports of 300 pages it was taking about 2 minutes to render each page. When using RenderStream to render idividual pages, reports of about 20 pages printed without a problem, but for reports of 300 pages we recieved the follwoing error: "The stream cannot be found. The stream identifier that is provided to an operation cannot be located in the report server database." Is there some cache or something that we should be using Any ideas appreciated. -- Leah The ...Show All

• SQL Server pk constraint enforcement using SSIS to import data

  Note: I'm running a bottom up design on this project as I won't know what data I'm really working with until I can get it imported and analyze it. Also, I'm not a DBA or developer, so please be gentle... I am importing 30k+ rows using SSIS (OLEDB -DB2- source to OleDB -2k5- destination). The import works fine, but I just realized that I need to set up a pk on the row emp_ids. The problem is that in the DB2 source, the emp_ids were removed (set to whitespace, but not null). So, I can't just uncheck the 'keep nulls' option and import the data. Any suggestions or links (using SSIS) on how to identify the rows where emp_id = "whitespaces" and 1) either keep them from being imported, or 2) remove them afterwards (I suppo ...Show All

• Visual Studio XSLT Debugging

  I'm having problems debugging XSLT in Visual Studio 2005. When I click on the "Debug XSLT" button, I get this error: TypeLoadException was unhandled. Method 'Execute' in type 'Microsoft.Xsl.XslPlugin' from assembly 'Microsoft.XslDebugProxy, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' does not have an implementation. It does this no matter what kind of xsl file I have specified for the transform, and no matter what xml files I have specified as the input and output. Also, I opened up my XSL and XML files in another editor and the transform worked just fine. Has anyone else had this problem Could this be a problem with having the latest .NET Framework 3.0 installed Or Visual Studio 2005 SP1 Here is my information: Mic ...Show All

• Visual Basic Two-pronged Question

  Hi, I'm fairly new to VB and learned on VB 2003. I just upgraded to VBE 2005. I'm trying to make a multiple document reader and modifier. My questions are: 1) To be able to view the most documents, is it better to use a Rich Text Box or something else. 2) Is there any information floating around out there on making document readers I'm trying to be able to read MS Word documents, Works documents, Text files, Rich Text files, and an AutoCAD lisp file(its basically a text file). If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for the replies.

• Visual Studio Team System capture screen shots for test results?

  Our QA team has always insisted that we capture screen shots when performing our test cases. I am wondering if this practice is something atypical or not. I personally detest having to do this mundane and brainless act. Hi Jason, I'm not sure if you're asking about taking screen shots during a test (if it fails, for example), or for manual testing; anyway, either of these scenarios I'm sure that it is not atypical and many teams do it. I understand that sometimes it might be frustrating, but some people think it is really helpful. I guess it's a matter of perspectives. Thanks, David Gorena Elizondo [MSFT] VSTS ...Show All
