• Visual Studio Express Editions Multithreading and and "encroachments"

  Hi, I'm developing on a new vb.net-application with the Visual Basic Express Edition . Now I have to use a backgroundworker for a longer process. But I'd like to keep the user up-to-date, what the application is currently doing. So the Backgroundworker has to change some labels in the main Form. Now the Question is: How to get the backgroundworker changing the label in another thread I know, that I have to use invoke and delegate , but I don't know, how. Can someone explain this to me Thanks, Greetings from Germany and Regards, Fabian micronax Because the backgroundworker uses another thread than the GUI (General User Interface) you are not allowed to write directly to the label. Instead you must make a display routine - D ...Show All

• Windows Forms how to create a debug version install

  hi, so, i managed to figure out how to get a C# project to reference either a debug or release assembly. i thought it might be the same for the installer, no go. i really would like to be able to package up the debug version of the built application when the configuration is set to debug, and the release versions when the config is set to release. can this be done if so how /* what i did for the assemblies was to change the following <HintPath>..\Docking\bin\Release\Docking.dll</HintPath> to <HintPath>..\Docking\bin\$(Configuration)\Docking.dll</HintPath> this is located in the .csproj file and it had to be done manually. */ thanks, scott When adding a Project Output Group to a set ...Show All

• SQL Server Where to find detailed error report when setting up mirroring fails

  I had a problem with mirroring that I only was able to resolve when I attempted to replicate instead. Replication gave me an error message that expained the problem; mirroring simply failed. Is there any place where mirroring logs the details of what it is doing & why it is failing BTW, the problem was that the server name was changed after SQL was installed. Although i knew this, the forums indicated taht SQL 2005 automatically picks up the new name after it is restarted. This apparently is not true... Thanks Dave S You can get the mirroring's eror log file from this path. C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\LOG Hope this can help you. Best Regards, ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Create "Custom SetState" activity

  Hi Im am trying to create my own SetState activity. My goal is that the activity is to validate a property on the workflow and the go to 1 of 2 states defined on my CheckParameterAndGoToState Activity. I have look at the SetState with reflectot and have created my own version of the internal StateDropDownEditor which allows my new activity to have two TargetStateProperties. This works. But this does not draw the lines on the state machine since i am not using the originally SetState activity. How do i do that Should i implment my own ActivityDesigner for my activity If yes.

• SQL Server MDX Sort ASC - on property that has datatype integer - result 1,103,2,203,...... ?

  Hi, i want to sort my Client dimension on its property Client-ID, for example Client Client-ID A 1 B 2 C 103 but this query: SELECT NONEMPTY(ORDER( [Clients].[Clients].[Clients], [Clients].[Clients].Properties( "Client-ID" ), ASC),{[Measures].[Sales]}) ON COLUMNS FROM Sales sorts them like text. Client Client-ID A 1 C 103 B 2 Some ideas First, you probably want BASC instead of ASC, but that is not the problem here. The problem here is that .Properties always returns string data type for b/c reasons. You can do one of the following: SELECT NONEMPTY(ORDER( [Clients].[Clients].[Clients], [Clients].[Clients].Properties( "Client-ID", TYPED ), ASC),{[Measures].[Sales]}) ...Show All

• Windows Forms Extending DataGridViewTextBoxColumn to DataGridViewHtmlColumn

  I'm tring to create a better way to present data in data columns. I've decided to extend the d.g.v.TextBoxColumn, although perhaps I should be using a higher level base class. The fist thing I've decided to support are newlines or [br] ( breaks ). this done, Im not sure the best way to calculate row height, or how to effectively set it. I've tried inside the overridden Paint method to set [ this.DataGridView.Rows[ index ].Height ], but it doesnt seem to be affecting anything perhaps I have to change a related flag so the problem, is that I now have a multiline text column that is cutting off the text because the row height is not appropriatly set. any help is greatly appreciated! -stellar ...Show All

If each file goes to a different table, use table name variable as your data access mode. If you want each file to go to each table, use nested foreach loops.

If you read this documentation , you'll see that the kind of support you're asking for isn't implied in the design. You may want to check out this thread in the forum, since it answers your question in better detail, and includes code to help you accomplish what you're after.
