• Visual C# Formating output to a textbox

  Hello I have a noob question. I am writing a little app to convert the temperature between farenheit and celcius, and would like to only display one decimal point in the textbox. I would prefer to see 70 degrees farenheit displayed as 21.1 degress celcius as opposed to 21.11111. Here is my code private void buttonConvert_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) { double degreesFarenheit; double degreesCelcius; if (textBoxDegreesCelcius.Text == "" ) { degreesFarenheit = double .Parse(textBoxDegreesFarenheit.Text); degreesCelcius = myConversions.FarenheitToCelcius(degreesFarenheit); textBoxDegreesCelcius.Text = degreesCelcius.ToString(); } else { degreesCelcius = double .Parse( ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions BindingManagerBase Position_Changed Problem

  Hey Everyone, I have a program that has several textboxes bound to 1 dataset which contains only one table. When the form loads, the data is displayed in the textboxes allowing the user to add, edit, delete, etc., as well as navigate through previously entered records. However, when trying to navigate through the records, it doesn't do anything. The recordCountLabel, which keeps track of the record number that is displayed, changes, but the first record stays on the screen. Here is a little of my code.

• Visual Basic functions : does return end code path?

  Simple little question, just curious if calling return inside a function will end the code path for example function test (byval testvar as string) if testvar = "a" then return("you selected 'a'") ElseIf testvar ="b" return("you selected 'b'") End If 'some more code Return("some stuff") End Function So if I pass this function "a" will the function return "you selected 'a'" or will the code continue to execute after the if statement and return "some stuff" instead When a return statement is hit, the method will start it's termination process. If there is no finally block wrapping the statement, the method will immediately return. If a finally block exi ...Show All

• Visual C# .NET Framework and compatibility

  Goodday, lately I've been programming an MMORPG in another programming language. Anyway, I'd like to learn a new and more adult programming language right now, and it seems Visual C# fits perfectly for this. But there's one question that still stops me from completely getting into C# learning; the .NET Framework. The disadvantage is that a person who wants to run my program will need to have the framework installed, and this is quite irritating for an MMORPG. I've been trying some out and untill now I didn't find anybody having .NET Framework 2.x on their PC yet (except me of course). It seems they don't receive it automatically using the automatic Windows update. It would be quite irritating to ask all my clients to download another 20mb ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Sql Server CE 'SDF' invalid db version in VS 2005 !?

  Hi.. I am trying to retrieve table structure from a Sql Server CE database file 'SDF' that I dont exactly know in which version has been developed. It is for a 'Intermec' hand held computer. The main application is developed in Visual basic (5 or 6). Now I am going to re-develope the application with some enhancements in VS 2005 using VB 2005. But I am unable to open the SDF file to see table structure, not from device or from VS 2005. Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated. Regards. Obviously that database is from an older version of SQL CE, so you can't open it unless it's converted to the new format. Please see SQL Mobile books online on how to use convert utility which comes with SQL Mobile. That conversio ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System MSSCCI Provider 1.2 and the MSSCCPRJ.SCC file.

  Does the MSSCI Provider for Visual Studio 2003 (version 1.2) utilize the MSSCCPRJ.SCC file I did not notice this file when I was working with version 1.1. Was this file necessary in order to solve the issue with branching in version 1.1 Todd Todd, MSSCCPRJ.SCC file is not related to specific SCC provider, it is part of SCC API used to hook up Visual Studio to Source Code Control provider conforming to SCC API specs. SCC provider (in your case TFS SCC provider) creates that file locally and stores there SCC-specific context information - mapping of your project local folder to TFS server, server path etc. In older versions of SCC (in Visual Studio 6.0 for example), that information was stored dir ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team System Checkin Not Working
