• .NET Development Exception: DataTable internal index is corrupted: '5'. on ...

  Hi, I have a problem with bindingsource component in framework 2.0. I have a combobox bound to a bindingsource which is also bound to a dataset with 2 related tables and a datagridview bound to the same bindingsource. What I want to do is : When the selectedindex property of my combobox changes, the corresponding cell value must be changed in the datagridview. But although the value in bindingsource changes, datagridview does not display the new value. That value is displayed after I move the mouse over that cell and make it invalidate its region manually. Another error I caught is the one that you can see as the subject of my post. I do not know why i have that message when I try to change the property of ((DataRowView)mybindi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Toolbox weird behavior!!!

  I am using VSTO 2005. I am working on an Excel Template. Suddenly the toolbox becomes disabled and prevents me from adding controls to the Excel sheet but it is enabled in regard to the taskpane. I reinstalled VSTO and it was enabled but now disabled again. Do you have any idea this is very urgent.... Thank you........ What are you doing immediately before the toolbox becomes disabled Also, after it becomes disabled, does it become enabled just by viewing a user control in design mode or perhaps a different worksheet Did you protect the worksheet(s) in the project This would prohibit you from placing more controls on to the design surface of a worksheet.

• Visual Studio Express Editions oranisation suggestion request

  In C, at least in my micro controller programming environment, it is easy to have a header file, with various routines contained therein, which is placed ahead of the main program. What do you do for c# do you add a raft of classes into Form1, or do it some other way I am concerned about reuseability, I guess (both within the specific program, and in other future programs), hoping that I can cut down on the number of keystrokes I need, in order to create a useful piece of software. Is there an on-line tutorial that is easily understandable that covers this sort of question Thanks, Best Wishes, Ray " I can't mark any individual reply as answering this question, it is an on going issue for me, but ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions ml64.exe

  At some point during installation of VIsual Studio Express (perhaps it was the SDK stage) you get a file called ml64.exe. Unfortunately the version I got was 8.0.40310.39, and can't handle SSSE3. Is there a newer version available someplace (and a newer version of dumpbin.exe) that is SSSE3-capable ml64 was installed during the platform SDK stage and that would be the latest version. I know that ml64 supports SSE2 but I'm not sure about SSE3. You should post in the C++ forums to see if they know the answer. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. NoSuitableGraphicsDeviceException was unhandled

  Let me just say at the outset that I know nothing about C# (yet) and am trialing the XNA beta to try and get into it. I do know VB and some C, however. Once I had everything installed, I tried a few example programs including the Spacewar project, but I cannot run any of them. They build fine, but I can't run the .exe, and it crashes and asks if I want to send a report to MS. If I "Start Debugging" instead, I get the error "NoSuitableGraphicsDeviceException was unhandled" on the "this.GameComponents.Add(this.graphics);" line. I have no idea where to even start.

• SQL Server Saving a package to the package store vs. SQL Server?

  There must be a difference, but I don't know what it is. Can someone please explain the advantages and disadvantages of each method Thanks in advance. From what I understand of SSIS. You must have the integration services service/engine running in order to execute the packages. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to connect to the service itself and run the packages. As for the MSDB vs. File System thing. Both are managed by the integration services engine, they're just different storage mechanisms. In SQL2000, I always stored my DTS packages in the MSDB. So, if my server crashed... to get all my DTS packages back, I'd have to restore the msdb in single-user mode and then they're popped back in. With SQL2005, we can store them i ...Show All

• SQL Server Search Stored Proc

  Does anyone know a way to seach through all databases on a SQL 2000 server looking for a particular stored proc by name We use Microsoft Visual SourceSafe (actually version 6) which, for 12 developers and 4 DBAs (2 dev and 2 production), works just fine and, as a bonus, integrates with SQL Server Management Studio. Microsoft would probably want you to use their Team Foundation software: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/teamsystem/aa718916.aspx ...however in my opinion the pricing and complexity both mean that it is better suited to larger organisations than ourselves.

• Visual C# Class Arrays

  I was just wondering if any one could tell me how to declare an array made of a class, as the standard precedure does not work for classes, structs, ect. Thanks in advance. clarification: Do you want to declare array of objects If so, you can declare using the same way as other data types, for example: public class TestClass { private int x ; private int y ; public TestClass ( int x, int y ) { this .x = x ; this .y = y ; } } TestClass [] arrays = new TestClass [10] ; for ( int i=0; i < 10 ; i ++ ) { arrays = new TestClass ( someX, someY ) ; } hope that helps ...Show All
