Windows Forms Cell Validating Problem
Hey guys, I currently have a DataGridView with a datasource of business objects. What i am trying to do is make entry into date fields as quick as possible so i have built a simple functions which takes a number and converts it to a date. My problem arises that when the user enters a number to have it converted to a date the cell will not validate and the function will never get called. I try and set it by going dgvWhatever[e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex].Value = aDate; but it wont work because the original cell never validates. I found a workaround which was to cancel the cellValidating event on rows which contain a date and this works but if someone starts editing in a new row a date field then it gets cancelled and the ...Show All

Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WCF and MSMQ 3.5 Not working together?
Hi I've installed the november versions of .net3, the sdk, and orcas. The MSMQ samples worked fine with this setup and MSMQ 3. I then installed KB897171 (Vista MSMQ beta - May this year), and recreated all the queues. Since then, none of the MSMQ samples are reading the queue (although writing works). The samples worked again once i uninstalled KB897171. Are there any known issues with running WCF with the Vista beta version of MSMQ Thanks Simon Simon, the MSMQ build referred in this KB was meant specifically for WCF Beta 1. It is not needed for WCF to work and is not supported anymore. MSMQ version coming with the operating system is what is needed for WCF, on both Vista ...Show All
SharePoint Products and Technologies Trouble after B2tr
Hey! (Sorry if i've picked the wrong forum). I got sharepoint along with pro plus about 2 months ago and was informed about a month ago that I would need Beta 2 Tech refresh to carry on using Office after the launch. I haven't tried to use sharepoint since until last week. It installed something before trying to open, then didn't open at all. When I tried again to open it, it displays, in a small box in the centre: Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. (line about losing work) Please tell microsoft about this problem. (more lines) Debug.....Send Error Report.....Don't send I have tried pretty much everything and don't know what to do. Y ...Show All
Visual Studio FileNotFound while dll-debugging
Hi! I develope a .dll with Visual Studio 2005 Professional and .net-Framework V2.0... I got two Projects(typelibraries) in one Projectfolder lets call them Pa and Pb. Pa is the startproject and has a reference on Pb. They both have >make Com-visible< set to true. On the Properties - Page of Pa under >debugging< is a path inserted to an Application(c:/test/test.exe). This Application test.exe is written by myself in VS 2005 and has references on Pa and Pb (../bin/pa.dll and /bin/Pb.dll) and after compiling I copied the .exe into C:/test/test.exe. If I start my Projectfolder for debugging with F5 test.exe starts and then I got an FileNotFoundException . It says that pa.dll is not found. I observed test.exe with the FileMonitor an ...Show All
Smart Device Development Windows CE CAB Installer prompt Compact Framework 1.0
Hello, when installing a CAB file on windows ce. The installation gives a number of prompts during the install. 1. If already installed, it will ask to re-install 2. It will then ask what folder to install to. However in Windows Mobile, it doesn't prompt any of these messages during the install of the CAB. Is it possible to do the same for Windows CE, so it not ask the user to re-install or where to install to By editing something in the .inf / vsdconfig / dependencies files Many Thanks Hi You can try to launch the wceload utility with the option /noui. This should prevent all user prompts. ...Show All
Visual Studio Visual studio 2005 and windows vista buisness edition
I have windows vista buisness edition, visual studio pro 2005 and when I'm trying to create new web application I get error: front page extensions are not installed..., I activated windows authentication and I'm running vs2005pro as administrator, but the error still ocurrs. I know, that here have already been topic about this, but this solution doesn't work for me ;/ Well, the only reason I can think of why you would get this error is if you try to create a project on a remote server that does not have the Frontpage Server Extensions installed. As far as I know you can not install the FSE on Vista and you do not even need it when you are creating web sites locally. ...Show All

.NET Development XSLT output incompatible with standard
Hi Folks, I am trying to convert XML to CSV format output. I was able to convert it by using the following option: output method ="text" But, the output doesn't seem to adhere to the standard. I was referrring to the following link to refer to the CSV format: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values Please correct me if i am wrong. TIA Sek If you showed us your XSLT document, what your input looks like, what you expected to happen and what happened it would be easier to tell you what's wrong with it. Setting the output method to text will just cause your XSLT to output text, not text in the CSV format. ...Show All
Visual Studio Full text search in Sandcastle gerated CHM files
Hi, Would'nt it be nice to add full-text search to the CHM files generated by Sandcastle I've added <xsl:text>Full-text search=Yes
</xsl:text> to the ReflectionToChmProject stylesheet transformation. That works beautifully ;-) Ideally I'd like to see this line of code move to the standard distribution of Sandcastle, because I will start to pay idiot tax on it when new versions are rolled out (and I will need to continuously re-integrate that change) What do you think, folks WetHat I will be happy yo make this change. The CHM size gets larger by enabling the full-text. If you feel we should add this I will be more than happy to add this in our next CTP drop. Th ...Show All
Visual Studio Team System Ordered Tests sometimes loses one of the manual tests
I have 1 solution with 3 projects I have several manual tests. I have created several ordered tests which contain a combination of my manual tests. Here is the problem: Hours after I have created an ordered test I find that it has a red line thru it. When I open up the ordered test, I see that one or more of my manual tests are ghosted. I also notice that they seem not to know what project they live in. So, I fix my ordered test my removing the orphaned manual tests and finding it in the left side and adding it to the existing ordered tests. Also you should know that on the left side that my tests seem strange. While I am able to find the manual tests to move over to my ordered tests....I see the same test name but it thinks it is ...Show All
