• Windows Forms Implicit Error Provider

  Is there an implicit error provider on every windows form and user control I am trying to understand how .NET knows to show the default error provider while binding to objects that implement IDataErrorInfo, without us having to explicitly create an error provider. Is this default error provider accessible from code Thanks, Naveen System.Data.DataRowView implements IDataErrorInfo. The DataGrid and DataGridView controls use that interface in their Paint methods and display an "error" bitmap and initialize a tooltip if the row has an error. ErrorProvider is not involved. ...Show All

• SQL Server Disappearing Precedence Constraints

  Has anyone seen precedence constraints disappear in a package after closing and opening again In this case, it's not package-wide. Only constraints inside one Foreach Loop container disappeared. Any idea what causes this to happen p.s: Yes, I did Save All. Most of these contraints were saved in the package for more than a week anyway.

Good analogy. Helps keep the complaints in perspective. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista 64-bit and 32-bit handles

  Hi, http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384203.aspx : "Handles to named objects such as mutexes, semaphores, and file handles can all be shared." Does this mean that I can use DuplicateHandle in a 64-bit process and pass the duplicated handle truncated to 32-bits to the appropriate 32-bit process and call DuplicateHandle in a 32-bit process and pass the duplicated handle zero-extended to 64-bits to the appropriate 64-bit process Thanks for your help. Creation of a handle to a named object is usually performed in the create function.  For example: "HANDLE mutexHandle = CreateMutex(NULL, FALSE, "MyCorp:MyApp:MyMutex");" I would recommend that approach compared to passing the value of a handle between application ...Show All

• Visual Studio how do I change the color of bookmarks in VS2005?

  the bookmark indicator is a blue rectangle. in Visual Studio 2003 I changed it to a red rectangle so it was more visible. in Visual Studio 2005 (version 2.0.3115.0), I go to Tools/Options/Fonts and Colors. then I select "Bookmark" in the "Display Items" list. then I change the "Item background" from the Default blue to red. but it has no effect -- the bookmark rectangle still appears blue. (note that all my other color changes took effect just fine and that when I open "Fonts and Colors" it says that bookmark it is set to red.) this seems like a small thing, but I've found myself setting breakpoints that already exist (which toggles them off) because the blue color was so light that my eye doesn't pi ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista [SysListView32] How to retrieve group subtitle without access violation?

  Hi, I'm trying the following code to retrieve a group's subtitle text: LVGROUP group = {0}; group.cbSize = sizeof(LVGROUP); group.iGroupId = 1; group.cchSubtitle = MAX_PATH; group.pszSubtitle = new WCHAR[group.cchSubtitle + 1]; group.mask = LVGF_GROUPID | LVGF_SUBTITLE; if(::SendMessage(hWndLvw, LVM_GETGROUPINFO, (WPARAM) 1, (LPARAM) &group) == 1) { // ... } delete[] group.pszSubtitle; This works if the group has a subtitle. But if it doesn't have one, the SendMessage call crashes with an access violation inside comctl32.dll. So how can I retrieve whether the group has a subtitle, so I can avoid this access violation ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions startIndex problem when unable to connect to the internet

  I've been creating a program that will restart my modem so I can get a new IP whenever it changes to an IP out of the range I want. For getting the IP I used a ready-code that catches the content of a webpage into a textbox. Then I used a System.IO.StringReader to start getting the content of the textbox after the ": ", which is when the IP comes. Here it is: Public Function getIPstring() As String 'This creates the filestream and streamreader that is used to read the source Dim SR As New System.IO.StringReader(TextBox1.Text) 'Here is where we start looking for the ip. 'This puts the entire file into a string Dim entirefile As String = SR.ReadToEnd 'This gets the starting position o ...Show All

• SQL Server Temporary Storage - From DataStage to SSIS

  I am new to the SQL Server platform - coming from a Solaris/Informix/DataStage environment. In DataStage there is a function called a "Hash" file that acts as a temporary holding place for data. This hash file can be used to (1) perform lookups on tables and (2) perform calculations and manipulations before the data is populated into the destination (i.e table, flat file, etc.) Also by using this hash file, the processing time is faster. Is there such a function within SSIS that can temporarily store the data and allow transformations before it is loaded into the destination Thanks in advance. What is similar to Datastage Hash files is SSIS raw files. Unfortunately, you cannot persist ...Show All

• Smart Device Development MainMenu

  Hi there, i have a form with a MainMenu, and i'm trying to solve 2 problems: 1) if i show a MessageBox, closing the message box, the menu disappears. Solution: whenever i close the MessageBox, i do a kind of a "reset" to the menu: - this .Menu.Dispose(); - this .Menu = this .mainMenu; Well, it works, but is it a good solution 2) i click on the menu, it opens the menu items, and then when i click one of the items, i have a event handler that makes something. What i need is to close the menu immediatly after i click on a item. Solution: (i've tried doing the same thing i did above, including those lines in the beginning of the event handler, but it doesn't work.) Any ideas Thanks in advanc ...Show All

• .NET Development in memory generated XML contains \r\n characters

  Hi all, I'm trying to serialize a tree object as XML and then persist the XML (in memory) into a SQL table.I'm using the code below to generate the XML, a sample piece of generated XML is : " < xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" ><DTreeNodeOfOBSTeam xmlns:xsi=\" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\ " xmlns:xsd=\" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\">\r\n ....

• SQL Server Connecting to Database on a Server

  Hi, I'm new to SQLExpress, and I need some help. I am trying to create a SQL database that will sit on a shared server in our organisation. I go into SSMSE and click on New Database which takes me to the New database screen. I now want to change the default path name to our server name, but when I click on the Locate Folder button (...), it only allows me to select folders from my Local drive. Is this a limitation of SQL Express, is there a way around this... Thanks in advance... Thanks Glenn, Even if I do all that, I can't connect to any database except for the ones on my hard drive. I have even tried attaching databases in SSMSE and it only allows you to attach Local databases. There is now ...Show All
