• Windows Forms overlaying a docked panel?

  Hi, I've got the following problem. I am working on an application that has a main form with on the left side a tree view and on the right hand a panel. Both objects (treeview and panel) are docked, so they stick on the sides of the screen. i thought that might be usefull when the application is used on different screen sizes. However, when the user clicks on some nodes, some dialog forms open. Is there any way i can make sure that the dialog forms that are opened perfectly overlay the (docked) panel on the right hand side. That would make my application a bit more easy to handle on different screen sizes. I hope this is clear. Thanks so much for a reply PS I'm using VS 2005 This is the background. There is a main form ...Show All

  hey, how do you make it so that a list box shows the items on a dataset     Thanks :) stores what exactly into an html file you can save an entire page in html by using the webrequest class but this is not what we were talking about were we or is this a new question :-) Obviously if they uninstall the browser then all bookmarks etc... will be lost but you can save the bookmarks again by using Xml, as it will store it in a file which means you can later on read from it again and pretty much restore the bookmarks (since it was saved anyway) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Server side Mail-Merge using VSTO2005

  I have been trying to get a prototype running for doing server-side mail-merge for the past week now using VSTO 2005 and am going nowhere.. Has anyone been able to successfully do this My constraints are: 1. Avoid having to install VSTO Runtime on client machines 2. Avoid using Word 2003 automation on server since its not recommended. 3. The source documents are a bunch of Word documents stored in a templates folder on the server. 4. We have to mail-merge using a runtime datasource, then send the document over the web using asp.net 2.0. If there is a good sample or article out there, I would really appreciate it. Thanks, JGP Hi, I also have the same scenario as described ...Show All

• SQL Server query analyzer 2000 login timeout not working

  When I try to connect to a server using isqlw through a slow connection, I always get the "Unable to conect to server..odbc msg 0 level 16 state 1 Timeout expired" message after 15 seconds (the ISQLW default login timeout period). I can connect fine through Enterprise Manager and thru ISQL (after about 50 seconds) and can connect fine to other, faster-connecting servers thru ISQLW. And no amount of changing login timeout values to 0, 300, 59 or any other timeout values will change the behavior. Help! ...Show All

• SQL Server Can I have multiple tables to gather event data

  Hi Guys, Wondering if I could have two tables with parent child relationship to gather event data. Does NS support such scenario while defining schema in ADF.xml. Please advice. Thanks, Shamir You can use just about any T-SQL code in the EventRule Action node to identify and insert new events for the SSNS application, as long as it produces the appropriate fields as defined in the associated eventclass.

• Visual Studio Team System Taking a project offline

  Hi! I have a wish/suggestion. Instead of allowing projects to be deleted it should be almost as good to be able to take a project offline, a la SQL Server. When a project is offline it should not be possible for anyone but a TFS administrator to take it online again, and while offline no users should be allowed to access the project in any way (through Work items, Source control, Documents, etc). The normal reasons for removing a project is, as I see it: Keep the project list short to not confuse users Save disk space Remove code/data that we are certain we will never need. Maybe a test project or similar. Or a project that was created but shouldn't have been. A project taken offline should not even show up in the list of projects for us ...Show All

• Visual C# static method - Is there any workaround?

However, let's say I have this: public sealed class MyClass { private MyClass(string someText) { m_someModifiedText = someText; } private readonly static m_someModifiedText; public static MyClass Create( string someText ) { string modifiedText= ModifyText(someText); return new MyClass(someText); } private string ModifyText(string someText) { string modifiedText = someText; //do something to modify text return modifiedText; } public static string UsefulText { return m_someModifiedText; } } Now, this "sample" is just to keep it simple, but PLEASE just consider the concept rather than what the ...Show All
