.NET Development COM Event not handled
I use one component that represents DHCP server. When I make a new project(windows form) and import component it works ok. But I when I include it in my existing(not small) project events are not handled.(They handled one time from ten or so with no code changes) I tried to clean out my project and found that there is some dependence with dataSet I am using. When I completely remove dataSet events seems to work. 1) Maybe your object is garbaged collected. This might be the case if you have a COM object as local variable (or in a class that is garbaged, or a function that returns an object which is called on a global class). In this case, some of your event should work, and then stop to work when the ...Show All
SQL Server Casting...
I've got an ftp task that will be downloading a couple of files each night. today they're called blah20060830blah the date value in the middle changes each day. I'm trying to adjust this value with an expression. The expression doesn't want to cast my getdate function into a string that this property will accept. I know i'm missing something stupid. Thank you Sorry the expression (DT_STR) GETDATE() generates this: Attempt to parse the expression "(DT_STR) GETDATE()" failed. The expression might contain an invalid token, an incomplete token, or an invalid element. It might not be well-formed, or might be missing part of a required element such as a parenthesis. I'm no genius when it comes to m ...Show All
Visual Studio Building a web form programmatically
I am fairly new to the extensibility realm. I think it is a great tool but I have run into some issues. I am working on an add-in that will generate a basic application based on a database. Currently, the tool has no problem generating the necessary classes and thanks to some of the posts on this forum I have figured out how to add the code to App_Code folder correctly. The problem that I am trying to solve is to create the web form programmatically and then populate it with controls. I can dynamically generate the web form but I can not figure out how to add controls to the page. I would like to have the application write much of the codebehind logic to tie to the classes that the system generates also but until I can figure out the ...Show All

Visual C++ How to access a program ported from C from other .net project?
Hi, I am pretty new to C++ .Net and I need help on how to let my .Net programs accessing functions ported from a C program. What I have now is a solution that contains two projects. The first is a C++ .Net class library project and the second is a VB.Net project (doesn't have to be VB, it can be any other .net languages). What I need is to have the VB test program call functions from the C++ program. The C++ project is created by porting an existing C program. What I did was that I created a class library project using the C++ wizard. Then I added my existing C program (without any change at all), MyLib.c, into the project and removed all those generated files that I don't need. After fixing some issues, now I have the project co ...Show All
Visual Studio Express Editions DGW error on edit mode because of date
I am using an Access db and I show the records in one dgw. The problem is that two of the records fields were formated as shortdate dd/MM/yyyy and on the dgw records date reprezentation is also like that: dd/MM/yyyy. For exemple I am trying to change the date 29/11/2006 into 27/11/2006 but the following error message appears right on the dgw edit mode: System.FormatException: String was not recognized as a valid Date Time I was wondering if anyone can help me out This is most likely caused by the system date time format being MM/dd/yyyy to set it otherwise: System . Globalization . DateTimeFormatInfo . CurrentInfo . ShortDatePattern = "dd/MM/yyyy" ...Show All
Visual Basic Windows service does work every 24 hours
How do I set up a Windows service to do work once every 24 hours. I have read that using a loop that checks the desired time to the current time is a good solution, but I am wondering if there is a better way. I want to accomplish something similar to Windows Update. Hi Have you considered using Windows Scheduled Tasks in this scenario Is there any particular reason why you need to use a Windows Service Scheduled tasks will save you development time and avoid costly consumption of system resources by avoiding infinite loops or using timer objects. This is an ideal candidate for a shceduled task. Thanks Colin ...Show All
.NET Development ADO.NET - Trying to copy a table from one DataSet to another
I'm currently working on a program which merges multiple data sources together before presenting them to the user. The data sources are mostly Excel workbooks, and I'm using the OLEDB pieces of ADO.NET. I can't use Excel interop, unfortunately, due to IT restrictions. I've written code to create a temporary Jet database, but I can't seem to copy data from the "source" Dataset (which is just a copy of the Excel data) to the "target" Dataset. Or rather, I can, but I can't seem to make those changes be reflected in the temporary database -- I can fill the Dataset, but I don't see a way to update the data source with that new data. I've looked through the ADO.NET documentation but can't seem to find an answer. Does anybo ...Show All
Visual Basic Can you create sql statements by editing the *.xsd file?
On the page asking for a specifig SQL SELECT WHERE statement from the TableAdapter Query Configuration Wizard, I want to create a sql statement that selects all the rows with a common condition: SELECT FirstName, Address, State, Zip, Phone FROM Database WHERE LastName = 'X' How can I make 'X' a dynamic variable derived from combobox.items.item(combobox.selectedindex).tostring (if combobox.selectedindex >-1) Edit: I found that the above statement does not work (combobox.items.item(combobox.selectedindex).tostring) to display the string value of the selected item.
