• .NET Development Changes made to multiple tables

  Hello all, This may sound rather silly (a newbie question...), but is there a way to have more than one table in a dataset, and to have the dataAdapter updated afterwards with changes that were made to all tables If not (as I believe would be the case), what is the easiest way to go about this Am I obliged to create a dataAdapter & dataset for each table if I wish to minimize the usage of dataAdapter.update dataAdapter.fill methods (initializing/filling the Dset & Dadapter upon Form load, then having a certain point to update, instead of updating with every click event and the likes..) Hope this was coherent enough , thanks for any answer.. Here's what I've done- I've got one DataSet and one DataAdapter (da) with a select co ...Show All

• Community Chat What language do you prefer?

  Could someone please enlighten me as to what the advantages and disadvantages of the following languages are, in general: C# C++ Visual Basic Also: I read somewhere that C++ was much better for game programming than VB, but why VB is easier to learn and use, so what are the advantages of C++ People here sure talk down vb.net a lot here... ease of use isn't just for "new programmers" after all! I think a person's programming background greatly influences which .net language they prefer. I come from a Fortran and Basic background, so I favor vb. I think most people with a C background prefer C++ or C#. I think the differences are miniscule. That being said, whenever technology branches I always seem to ch ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office [Word] Runtime error on loading custom add-in

  Hello, I have a problem with loading my own add-in after I deployed the setup and installed the add-in. When I run the add-in directly out of visual studio it all works fine. However when I generate the setup.exe and use it to install the add-in it won't display in Word. When I go to the COM-addins dialog in Word I can see that it is indeed installed. When I click on it, i see the message: "Not loaded. There was a runtime-error ...... ". My guesses are that it has to do with security or something. I already put the macro's security to the lowest level, and followed the directions on http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa537179(office.11).aspx to add something for the security. I allready spent hours searching google for this ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Sampling method of Performance Tool does not generate any report!?

  After successfully tried using Sampling method of Performance tool on a small console application, I applied the same skill on a larger WinForm application. But this time the tool does not generate any report under the Reports folder. Is there any limitation on the tool Or any special configuration needs to be set Hey John, I was just scrubbing the forums when I noticed that your question had not been answered. After collecting data with the profiler it should always generate a report or give you a warning that no data was collected in the profiling run. I've never seen an example of it not doing one or the other. One thing to check is that in the session property page for the performance session yo ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Windows Forms and DirectX

  To use directx, you send it a winodw in the form of a control. Is there any other form type this will work with I want to have a windows form on one side, with a directx controlled draw space on the other. How would i go about doing this please Thanks, Mike I had a similar project that I was working on in C#. I wanted to be able to render to most of the screen, and have some different input and output options around it as a border. There were several methods that were suggested on various forums. The best way that I found to do it, with the least modifications to my code, was to keep rendering to the form as normal with my 3D engine, and then have that form be an object inside another, larger, form that i ...Show All

  I have a combo box which lists images to display in a medical program. I need to sort them in a custom order ( easy ) and show parts of the names in bold.

• SQL Server Is Installing SQL05dev and VS05pro on the same machine supported?

  Hello,   When SQL05dev is installed a SQL05 version of Visual Studio (SQL05-VS) is also installed (called the “SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio”).   The SQL05-VS installs files into a “C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE” directory (and other directories - not described here).   When the full version VS05pro is installed it installs/uses files in a “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE” directory.   The number of files in these two directories is different – the directory for VS05pro has (of course) many many more files than the directory for SQL05-VS.   On the surface this seems ok since the instal ...Show All

• Visual C++ Is this ISO C++ conformant?

  I wrote the following simple program and could build it happily. #include <stdio.h> #include <conio.h> int main() { int i; printf("Integer please>"); scanf_s("%d",&i); _getch(); } I have two questions about this code. First, is this code 100% ISO C++ conformat I could build this, with language extensions disalbed. Second, is the _getch() function always thread -safe Thank you very much. einaros wrote: I fear that you are chasing the wrong chicken, though. Whether or not a piece of code is 100% standard conformant (be it C or C++), doesn't necessarily mean that the code will be portable. Most compilers has their own quirks and problems.

• Visual C++ Problem using #import with ADODB in VS2005

  I have a VS2003 project that I am migrating to VS2005. It currently compiles just fine under VS2003, but when I try to compile it under VS2005, I get a whole slew of C2327 errors. The root cause appears to be the different way that VS2005 handles nested classes. However, the code that the compiler is having a problem with is generated by VS itself as a result of a #import: #import "C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ado\msado25.tlb" rename( "EOF" , "adoEOF" ) rename( "BOF" , "adoBOF" ) rename_namespace( "ADODB" ) An example of the error that I receive is: error C2327: 'ADODB::_ADO::Properties' : is not a type name, static, or enumerator Has anyone else encoun ...Show All
