• Visual Basic DataTable

  What is the .Net Professional way of saving , Editing, Deleting in DataGridView. Mirza Ashraf, According to your code in the post, it seems that you are familiar with the VB6 because of the Pointer int variable looks like the RecordSet in VB6. In your code sample, you try to show each rows in the TextBox controls. However, you never create the DataTable on the columns and rows in the DataSet for your table. I suggest you to read the related information on the DataTable class and try to create a DataTable object with the DataColumn, then add the rows in the table. The following link shows the DataTable class and there is the code example on creating DataTable by program. Please take a look at the code and have a try: http:/ ...Show All

• .NET Development Malware affecting JIT or CLR...

  I have a HP8230-notebook with VS2005 installed where I maintain and develop numerous .Net Framework 2.0 applications programmed in VB. As I use the same computer to browse various programmer's forums and also travelling websites I have found that from time to time "something" happens to my computer that suddenly and irrevocably slows down startup time for my managed applications when I browse on the Web. I suspect it is some kind of malware, but neither Norton Antiviris 2006 nor my installed antispywares report anything abnormal. Symtoms are: - increased startup time for my managed applications by a factor of 5-7 times, - increased application closedown time by same rate, - increased time to load child windows within the ...Show All

• SQL Server Execution of SSIS package - security issues

  Hi all, I am currently trying to execute my first SSIS package and am having a lot of trouble with (what i believe to be) SQL security. During the development of the package i was testing all my connection managers with the sa account. Now that i have deployed the package i want to use another account with less privelages so that my setup is more secure. I have created a new login which maps to both the database my SSIS package is using and also to the msdb database. I have created a schema and user in each of these databases which i had initially set with minimal rights. This caused certain parts of my package to fail. I then set up the login with a sysadmin server role which worked no problem at all. Finnally i then gave the schema for t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Get Specific Version using Force Get Flag not working...

Get Specific Version with Force Get Flag Set:   Which gives the same error asking me to Get Specific Version with the Force Flag Set.

• Visual Studio Making MSBuild run tasks in parallel

  I do not see a reliable way of using MSBuild Engine to schedule tasks/targets in parallel. The problem is that some task/target can modify properties/items that the task/target downstream depends on. I don’t see of any easy way of finding such dependencies. (Other than batching perhaps). Am I missing something Are there any plans to add such functionality Devenv uses the same build engine (that's one of the cool parts of MSBuild :) Where things get a bit confusing is if you have native code as part of your projects. If you have native code you'll see some multi-proc stuff happening. That's because native code is built sing VCBuild, which does have some multi-proc support in it. Neil ...Show All
