• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF Validation

  Paul Stovell has post a good article Validation in Windows Presentation Foundation   about Validation in WPF. But, when I test the demo, I find a limitation to validate data in that way. Suppose I have 10 TextBoxes and many other UIElements on a WPF form. For the first time, I binding these elements to null-value data object, so all the TextBoxes are empty. The simple validation is to make sure all the TextBoxes are not empty. Then I click on a Button "submit" directly. Since the TextBoxes are never focused, and the Text in them never be modified, UpdateSourceTrigger.LostFocus and UpdateSourceTrigger.PropertyChanged can not be used. But if I use Explicit, does that mean I should write tens of codes to vaidate the Bindi ...Show All

• Windows Forms Dataset & DataGrid???

  I have a dataset that holds some data, and when i show it in the data grid i would like it to be editable, and changed in my dataset, can anyone send me a link or shed some light on how i should get this done do not use acceptchanges() otherwise when you update, it will not update the changes to the database since the rows modified in the dataset have been marked to "not needed to be updated" Remember, you need to rebind the datagridview after you have done an update() - do you see the updates commited in SQL Server database/table To be safe for now, I would suggest you comment out the SqlCommandBuilder and just do an Update() directly after making sure that your SqlDataAdapter has the SqlCommand in its constructor as ...Show All

• Visual C# Moving from procedural to OO

  I have been coding in C for upwards of 4 years now and a friend of mine has brought to my attention that a lot of employers now want their programmers to use OO instead of procedural. I have gotten a book on Java and 2 on C# (one on the basics and one on network programming), but I must say this OO thing isn't really catching with me. I am still in high school, so I don't have much time on my hands, but do any of you have any good resources on how to relate OO to procedural, or to just make it a bit understandable Thanks hi, this page has few lessons which will help you to understand OO better personaly i started with it. i guess you will better understand it quicker than i did , because you have back ...Show All

• SQL Server Hotfix for Bug # 473675 (SQL Server could not spawn process_loginread thread)

  Hi, I get " SQL Server could not spawn process_loginread thread." errors. This is related to a bug in SQL 2000 and there is a hotfix for SP3a. I am running SQL2000 with SP4. I checked the fix list of SP4 & this bug is not fixed in this SP4. Can I apply the hotfix to resolve this problem on my server tia. The most common cause of this message is a lack of free virtual address space. The most common cause of virtual address starvation on SQL 2000 are misbehaving com components from the use of sp_oacreate, misbehaving extended stored procedures, or poorly written OLEDB providers that are loaded by the use of linked servers. Start by reviewing your use of these items and remove t ...Show All

• .NET Development Measure data-traffic per IP-adress

  I have a pc with a number of devices connected to it. They are all connected via an utp cable. All devices have their own IP-adress. Now I want to measure the traffic of this data. In this way I want to check wether there is activity at the device (scanner). So when the number of bytes during a certain period is below a certain value, it must start another process. This must be monitored per IP adress. I want to use C# code to make this work. It's not my goal to measury the connectivity, I've read several articles on that subject. It's really about the quantity of data. Other recommendations regarding this subject are welcome as well. Thanks in advance! If you are ready to do some C stuff, there are sample LSPs in the SDK th ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 Script Error

  Hi, This problem has always been bugging me. When I sign into my user account and open up User Accounts in control panel I don't have any problems but when I go to any other user account and do this, no matter if they are computer admins or not, they encounter an IE script error with no description and this popup does not go away whether you click yes or no.

I also disable the alerts for script errors in IE too. Same issues!  We use Windows XP Media Center Ed.  Those issues only occur on my Wife's login ... mine works fine.  To futher that, ...Show All
