• Windows Forms How do I programmatically add checkboxes to a form at runtime

  The problem i'm having is programmatically adding checkboxes to the form. So far I have this code which works: Checkbox cbk = new Checkbox(); cbk.Location = new Point( 10, 10 ); cbk.Text = "I was created at runtime"; this.Controls.Add( cbk ); But I need to have the checkbox name generated by the database, I am unable to figure out how to assign a value from a SQLDataReader to be the name of the checkbox, my attempt below will not work (just replacing the hard coded name with the value from the db): while (reader.Read()) {   CheckBox reader[1].ToString() = new CheckBox (); reader[1].ToString().Location = new Point (10, 10); reader[1].ToString().Text = "I was created at runtime" ; this .C ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to configure a service which implements two contracts

  Appreciated if anyone could tell me how to configure a service which implements two or more contracts(interfaces) within WCF configuration editor. The service is expected to be hosted in IIS as well. You need two endpoints for two different contracts. After adding the first endpoint (with the "Create a New Service" option), you can click on the "Services" folder and select "Create a New Service Endpoint" for the first service, or you can expand the tree of the service up to the endpoints folder, then right-click it to add a new endpoint. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Default Modifiers to Private

  Does anyone know how to default the Modifiers 'property' to Private when you add a new control to a form or control surface in the designer I really dislike the fact that it is set to Friend by default... I think the stricter it is, the better (to an extent). Chris I don't think that it is possible. If it is, you would need to implement your own serializer or custom actions. Take a look at System.ComponentModel.Design or System.ComponentModel.Serialization and see if there's anything there. Hope this helps, ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL2005 Tools don't work unless all components installed on C:

  On serveral computers in our lab and in production, we installed SQL2005, putting the Data folder on d: because we expect to have a very large database file, but all else on c: When we try the Surface area config tool, and choose the Surface Area configuration for Services and Connections, it responds with an error regarding something being "out of range", then closes when we click OK. Previously, in a couple of lab situations, we installed everything on C:, and all tools worked fine. Is there a known workaround which will allow us to leave the data folders on d: to accommodate large amounts of data, and still have the use of the tools Jim When I try to run the Surface Area Configuration tool, the popup error say ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Debugging WinCE 5 apps not working

  I'm trying to debug a Compact Framework 2.0 app on a Windows CE 5 device from VS2005 sp1. I assumed this should just work out of the box. When I set a breakpoint in the CF app, deploy and start debug the breakpoint indicates it wont be hit. The little exclamation point icon on the breakpoint indicates 'the specified module has not been loaded'. Any idea what is causing this The app deploys and runs fine on the device but I cannot debug. I thought this was a no-brainer.

• SQL Server Looking for a good example of a script task in the dataflow that writes to a file

  I need to write back to a legacy system in the form of flat file --the first row would be a header and the remaining rows would be the actuals rows of data--each field would have a column delimiter of , and a row delimter of CRLF. The source is a SQL Server 2005 table. Im looking for a good example of a script task in the dataflow section that writes to a file. Can anyone show me the code how to do this or point me to a link. thanks in advance Dave Jamie, No there is not an example in Donalds book that explains how to produce an output file. He covers how to write a Dataflow script task to produce an XML output File--but that is a very different object model. Sadly Donalds boo ...Show All

  Hi I have a grid containing up to 100k rows. i want to perform filtering on the grid. i also have advanced filter options like match case , match whole word and regular expression. i have tried in 2 ways. 1. parsing the whole grid and checking the rows. i can use all filter options but it is very ineficient and works very slow. 2. i have tried filter on the datasource. i have done it with the method dataview.filter . this works very fine , but the filter is to simple. i cannot use the options above (only match case) . is there any other way in order to perform this filter i am stuck on this for a long time. thank you I don't have any database. data is loaded from files. also , the datatable.select method ...Show All

• SQL Server Who's the idiot that designed the file destination?

  It's funny: Everyone thinks that CSVs are awesome to transport data. I mean after all, SSIS defaults to Comma Delimited files. Even Excel defaults to it. Microsoft is supposed to be our leader! They should get this right. And get the terminology correct too. How many people describe the file as comma separated It's delimited! Even SQL server calls it delimited by the "delimited" drop down. CSVs suck and i will tell you why: When you transport any text field (especially Address) it has the possibility of containing a comma. This causes data to be parsed into the wrong fields. Why in God's grace would you EVER get in the habit of choosing a delimiter that SOMETIMES doesn't work I'll tell you a little short story: I hav ...Show All

• Visual C# Debugging a multithreaded app

  Hello all I have an app which is divided into two main components which are decoupled from one another by the use of an event mechanism. The only way the two components communicate with one another is by firing and responding to events (one component is consistently the caller, the other is consistently the callee). You can find more background on this particular app's issues in this post but some of that information is now outdated. Basically I have a static object in the caller component which fires an event to the callee component which results in the callee loading a component in a COM DLL via an RCW assembly. Originally, the COM DLL was not being properly released at the end of execution but after moving the 'unloading' code up into t ...Show All
