• Visual C# getting rid of autogenerated datasources

  I used the Add Data Sources wizard and added some controls to my form. This resulted in datasets & bindingsources being added. I would now like to remove that data source. How can I achieve this I have deleted the autogenerated datasets, bindingsource & tableadaptor. But the datasource still remains in my Data Sources Tab as well as the .xsd file, etc. I don't see any Remove Data Source option... Thanks for any help. Hi, when you add new data source, it gets added to your project. Open Solution Explorer and expand your project's Properties node. There's a DataSources folder; you'll find your data source references there. If you don't need them any more, it's safe to delete them. Andrej ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Cannot get a list of Lobby aware applications (C#)

     Good evening all, I just cannot seem to get a list of Lobby aware applications registered on my system. I know there are two games that are listed on dxdiag's Network tab, and shown as Lobbyable applications. But when I execute: Microsoft.DirectX.DirectPlay.Lobby.Client.GetLocalPrograms() and try to attach to a listbox, nothing happens. The array is empty. Any idea why I have DX9 installed.

• SQL Server MDX Calculations Script updates

  I have mdx calculated members defined in my cube calculation script. Is there any tool (other than BI Studio) that would allow a power user (typically a financial controller) to modify formulas for selected calculated members Another option could be to use custom rollup formulas stored in the relational data source and offer a nice front-end for modifying those formulas, but this would require a full process of the cube, where as modifying the calculation script would only require a default process. Any other idea Thanks! I am not aware of anything like this that is available and there are a couple of barriers to actually building something like it. at present you would need to have admin rights t ...Show All

• SQL Server Looking for sqlrun_tools.msi

  Today my computer started doing something strange when trying to compile a setup&deployment project. This project doesn't contain anything related to sql server whatsoever. When i compile, it pops up a windows installer dialog that starts doing something. Eventually it asks me for my Sql Server 2005 Tools disc, specifically looking for sqlrun_tools.msi. I tried putting in the disc that i'm pretty sure it was installed from (my MSDN disc) but it told me that the sqlrun_tools.msi on that disc wasn't the right one. I have no idea why its asking me for this at this time, nor do i know to do to get it to stop. Thanks in advance for any help. I am having the same problem. Whenever I try and b ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't Edit Table

• Visual Studio Team System My .config file is not being copied to test folder

  I have developed a series of unit tests and everything has been working fine. Now I have added a new test to verify retrieving information from my xml configuration file. I have included this file in my development project and have set the property: "Copy to Output Directory" to "Copy always". When I build my project, the configuration file is copied to the bin\Debug folder as expected. In my test project, I've done the same thing. I added the configuration file to the test project and set the property to "Copy always" as well. When I build the project, the file appears in the bin/Debug folder under my test project folder. However, when I run my test, the config file is not found. After investigating, I found ...Show All

• Visual C++ PostMessage fires my message twice

  Hi, I have a very strange problem, In my project (Cpp) I use PostMessage , the problem is that it fires my message twice - even though I wish to post it ones. More clearly, Whenever I try to post a message from my addin to my automation project I receive two messages, and thus, I trigger my responding function twice. It costs me computation time and it also causes computation errors. Does any one have a clue Best regards. Typically you would run into this problem if more than one Messages have same Message ID. Might be your MessageID is conflicting with some existing. You would need to put a breakpoint to check the call stack and traverse back to find out the source of the origin of the m ...Show All

• Visual C# Math: Round up number. eg 1234 / 50 = 6

  I have a dataGrid and i wish to produce page buttons for next and back. Therfore i need to know how many pages i will need to for my data Eg, i have 1234 rows of data and each page will contain 50 rows. So 1234 / 50 = 24.68. So I need 25 pages How do i round up a number so 1234 / 50 = 25 . Thanks. Paul Everyone here is missing the fact that 1234/50 will be executed as an integer divide, automatically truncating to the lower integer. Now, what we really want is the next higher integer, which is always just the lower plus one. So given int Rows = 1234; in RowsInPg = 50; then int Pages = (Rows / RowsInPg) +1; will given you the number you want --- with the one exception. If t ...Show All
