• Windows Forms DataTable

  Several combo boxes on the UI winform are populated using a DataTable. ie. dtUsers dtUsers is a table in a dataset. Several combo boxes are populated using this datatable. Not sure why when an item in one of the combo boxes is selected, then all the other combo boxes get changed too. This is a sample of how the combo boxes are populated: dtUsers = dsUsers.Tables["Users"]; cbo1.DataSource = dtUsers; cbo1.DisplayMember = "Name"; cbo1.ValueMember = "UserID"; The froms currency manager will keep all controls bound to the same datasource in sync. I would create a new bindingsource or dataview to bind each combobox to. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Can't deploy to Xbox 360 from GSE

  All Apologies but this is a repeat post from 31-Jan buried inside another thread that appears to have died. I can't push code to my Xbox 360 from GSE.  This issue has been reported by other people and their problems boil down to either having entered the 25-digit code incorrectly or, in one case, that their router didn't properly support UPnP. I've regenerated, accepted and reconfigured the key *many* times, making sure I don't have any 0's, 1's, 5's or 8's in the generated key to avoid confusion.  I understand this is a one-time key so I'm not reusing an old key.  I am most definitely getting the key right and choosing accept, not cancel. I have downloaded and installed Windows Media Connect (I'm running Windows ...Show All

• .NET Development .Net Remote File Transfer

  Hello there, before asking my Questions it is neccessary to describe my situation and task. I have a project to finalize my master work for my university. I have to write a tool for a company. I have to transfer files between client and terminal server using the remote desktop protocol. Clients are running either on Win2K or XP (Vista in future) Terminal Servers are running either on Server 2000 or 2003 (Longhorn in future) If the old Versions win2k & server2000 make it too complicated it would be accepted to get it running on xp 2003 and future OS. The main idea behind the file transfer between the the Client and TerminalServer is that it will be possible to transfer files without drive mapping.

  I have a program written for Smart Device 2003 in VB2005 that has menus that I want to run in WinXP.  The different implementations of the menu system between the two creates a problem, because Smart Device menus are at the bottom, and are a different size from programs on the Win desktop.  I need to resize the form when it opens on the win desktop.

• SQL Server issue with dts.taskresult from script task

  have a script task that checks for existense of a file if found it sets Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success and moves to next task and if not found it sends an email then sets Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Failure but when I run the job to test for failure I do get the email but the job continues to be in yellow state it never turns red. I have to terminate it myself manually. Is there anything else I need to set Thanks in advance I find that it is easier to set a boolean variable indicating success or otherwise. you can then check the value within a conditional precedence constraint. -Jamie ...Show All
