• Windows Forms What logical order are Controls stored in the Controls collection?

  Hi all, how are the Controls on a Windows form stored What I mean is, are the Controls in the Form.Controls collection (Controls[0], Controls[1], Controls[2] etc) stored in the positions that they are appear (x, y) on screen So a control that is positioned in the top left comes before a control that is positioned at the bottom right in the Controls collection (I probs have these completly wrong :)) The reason I am asking is because I have a load of controls on a form and want the user to be-able to navigate the control (TextBox, ComboBox etc) that sits below it when the user presses the down arrow key (tab key is not an option here I am afraid). Hope you can help. Tryst The Controls property is implemented as an ArrayList; and is or ...Show All

• SQL Server indexes question

  Assume we have a sales table, which contains a OrderID(char(8)) and a OrderDate(smalldatetime) field. Each day, hundreds of thousands of records needs to be inserted into this table. We need a daily sales report, and the OrderID is not necessarilly sequentially entered (every data operator has a range of OrderID, so for each data operator, it is sequential, but globally, it is not). So, I would like to create a clustered index on OrderDate, and the Primary Key is on OrderID. I think it is good for generating the daily sales report. However, when an order is entered, we need to quickly check if the OrderID already exits, because the unique index on OrderID is built on the clustered index (on OrderDate), which means the Database Engine will ...Show All

• .NET Development In C#, what is the difference between System.String and System.string (lowercase)

  This mignt not be the correct forum, if so, I'm sorry about that. I am trying to get a better understanding of the .NET library. I am programming in c# and I see that System.String (uppercase String) and System.string (lowercase string) seem to be the same objects. However they are color coded in different colors. I am guessing that there is a reason, but I cannot seem to find it in the documentation. Can anyone shed some light on this Thanks! Bob You are correct, "string" is a keyword, "String" is a type name. Dark and light blue, respectively. The relevant section in the C# language specification is section 4.2.3: "The keyword string is simply an alias for th ...Show All

  Hi, I am having this problem catching a exception in a try catch block as shown below try { DialogResult result; result = wizard.ShowDialog(); } catch (PackageCreationException e) { MessageBox.Show(e.Message, "Failed", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Warning); } now the wizard is a form which throws a PackageCreationException if it fails this works fine if it is run in the Visual Studio environment but when run as a standalone application this exception is not caught.

• Visual Studio Team System Changed WS unable to load projects

  Hello! I have Team Project1 that consists of a asp.net 2.0 solution file in TFS. It is constitutes of 12 project files , 7 of which are referenced from a different Team Project (Team Project2) and the remaining from TP1. The 6th project in the sln file is referenced as ..\..\webcommon\abc.web.common\project6\ The same reference paths hold good for the rest of the 6 projects. I was unaware of these references when I initially created my WS mapping the following way: TP1 goes to c:\tfsprod\tp1 TP2 to C:\tfsprod\TP2\ When I tried opening the sln file, it was not able to load up any of the 7 projects that were referenced. I later realized the reference paths and changed the WS mapping accordingly as TP2 to C:\tfsprod\we ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Error: The operation could not be completed. Unspecified error

  I'm getting this error everytime I try to deploy/debug a device project. I have installed device emulator 2.0 beta, and it used to work just fine.

I tried: different smartphones different versions of ActiveSync different installations of VS2005 different host machines It is a bit frustrating not to get more information on the underlying problem. Are there any log files I am not aware of I looked at the following ActiveSync log files in %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp: WCESLog.log WCESCOMM.LOG WCESMgr.log But there is no log message nor error at the moment when the deploy fails.

• .NET Development Multiple transactions on Micorosoft access

  When I try to run multiple transactions at the same time using different connections on a Microsoft Access database, I get errors saying that "table locked by another user", and this happens for any isolation level I use for the transactions. Doesn't Microsoft Access (Or the JET engine) support multiple transactions running at the same time on the database Sure, the database will support concurrent transactions. However, if you have concurrent transactions on the same table then a page lock or row lock may cause this error to occur. You need to make certain that your transactions occur in as short a duration as possible. For example, start a transaction just before the first update and terminate it right after the last ...Show All

• SQL Server Derived Table Alternative

  I have an application that has two different database backends, one is SQL Server Compact Edition and the other is SQL Server. The reason is because the application may run at home on one of our sales agent's computers or here in the office. I have a query that uses a derived table and works just fine in SQL Server, however when I run it in the compact edtion (having the exact same table structures) it will not run. My question is...does the Compact Edtion or the Mobile Edition allow derived tables. If not is there a way to work around this I will happily give an example if it will help. Thank you, Adam Hi, Erik, After a more careful reading of the docs for 3.5 Beta 2, it states that nest ...Show All

• Windows Forms PropertyGrid: How to catch an exception?

  I use a PropertyGrid to show a business object in my application. The business object throws exceptions if the user tries to enter an invalid string inside the PropertyGrid. The PropertyGrid shows two different behaviors in this case: If a default TypeConverter is used the PropertyGrid shows an builtin error message dialog. If a custom TypeConverter is used the PropertyGrid doesn't handle the exception. This happens only in Debug mode. How can I catch these exceptions and suppress the builtin error message dialog of the PropertyGrid I use the PropertyGrid in my own application to show the properties of my business objects. This way my user interface is independent of my business objects. ...Show All
