• Visual C# Howto display partial class files as child items in solution tree

  Hi, I'm splitting up some of my classes into separate files because these classes are partially generated. An example of the structure is: - MyClass.cs - MyClass.Generated.cs - MyClass.Constants.cs Now, in the solution explorer, I see three items for this one class, while I would like to see the two latter files as child elements of the first one, like this: - MyClass.cs - MyClass.Generated.cs - MyClass.Constants.cs just like we see with the designer.cs and resx files for forms. As I have quite a few of these classes, having several files listed at the same level for one single class makes it unwieldy. Could a ...Show All

• Windows Forms Problem setting size of Windows Form.

  I have a form that contains a DataGridView, and the form comes up too small for the user to see all the grid. How do I set the size of the form so that the entire grid (or, at least its width) is displayed I've tried the following: 1. Setting AutoSize to true. 2. Set the size in the Load event: private void MyForm_Load ( object sender , EventArgs e ) { this.Size = new Size(myDataGridView.Width, myDataGridView.Height); } and, private void MyForm_Load ( object sender , EventArgs e ) { this.Width = myDataGridView.Width; } No matter what I try, I get the same results.

• Windows Forms Adding custom fields to a strongly typed dataset

  I have a strongly typed datatable that I am binding to a DataGridView through a BindingSource. This works fine and when I add columns to the DataGridView I can see all the fields in the strongly typed TableRow listed so I can select which one I want to bind to. The problem is that my table links to another table and I want to add a column to bind a field from the second table. Basically, my main table has a "UserID" column that is linked to a "Users" table which contains a "UserName" field. In my DataGridView I obviously want to display user names and not meaningless IDs. I thought I could do this by adding a UserName property to the derived TableRow, but for some reason this will not appear in the list of ...Show All

• .NET Development What is the best way to do this - xml & ado.net question

  Im recieving some data from a web service call that is in a format of elements with many attributes. Id like to pull this data into a DataTable, with one of the fields set to be a DateTime type. At present, im handling like so: - recieve xml response as string - parse xml into new format as elements with values (versus attributes) - use Dataset.LoadXml to load this xml stream into a datatable - (hack) create a datatable programatically and assign datetime type to one column - copy table from dataset into a DataRow [ ] array - then populate the new table from data in the DataRow [ ] - apply a sort expression to the default view of the new datatable - bind my dataview to my gridview control The above steps are needed because if the xml ...Show All

• Visual Studio LocalReports and data sources with multiple tables

  I am trying to build reports that show data coming from multiple tables in our database by adding a Report to my application and going through that process. I can get a report that takes only a single table to run fine, and i can simulate things like detail views going across 3 databse tables by creating large queries that return a single table of results, and using grouping on a report table or nested lists... However, I can't find a way to do this when my data source [a dataset] has multiple tables. [for example a productCategory table, and a product table... ] I do not see a way to have a list inside of another list refer to the "inner" [at least that's one of the ways the data sources window shows it] data, and I can't ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Sorry it may not have been clear as>>

  I have created a program that I plan on disbursing to other people, on this program, I have added a simple form with support info. I would like the text to be a hyperlink for a website and email. Any suggestions thanks Hi guys, VBA is not the same and VB.NET. The System.Diagnostic.Process object isn't in VBA and unfortunately neither is the link label control. If you want to have a link in a form in one of the Office applications then you need to fool the user by having a normal label control with blue underlined text that when clicked opens the site. You can use the shell command to open your web site. You but this in the label OnClick event. Shell "explorer http://www.yahoo.com ", vbNormalFocus Unfort ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to debug library calls

  I'm getting errors in library calls, and I think its because different libraries are screwing with each other's proc addresses. What I'd really like to do is determine where a call is actually going. I can't step into the calls that are causing the problem, because the IDE just steps over them. How can I tell what's actually happening when I make a library call Well, templates are instantiated at compile time. While it is possible to export a known set specializations from DLL it is not possible for a general template such std::vector, simply because there is an infinite number of specializations of std::vector. So when you have some code like: int foo( const std::vector<int>& x ) { return ...Show All
