• SQL Server SP2 Copy Database Wizard better, but still problems

• .NET Development .net windows service application architecture

  Hi, I need to develop an application which performs a data transfer one data base to another. I can not use DTS as a solution due to the complex requiremtns of the application. This application needs to run every 30 secs. So I decided to go for windows service. I am new to windows serivces and multithreading. I have developed an application design and would like to get feed back on it. General over view of the design : Application contains the following classes - AccountCreationDTS (WInService class), DTSTimer, DTSController, DTSREquestBin and DTS. AccountCreationDTS.OnStart() starts the DTSTimer. DTSTimer._onTimeElapsed() invokes DTSController.startTask() which initiates a DTS. The code for all the classes is given below : ...Show All

  For one of my macros to run, I have to ensure that the cursor position is not in a table or in a frame when the user activates the macro.

• Visual Studio DSL opens as XML

  Hi, When creating a DSL with VS 2005 Pro and the SDK 2006.09 I get following unexpected behavior: create a new DSL using the MinimalLang template transform the templates build and run (Debug) after this a new VS window opens with my DSL, but when I double click on Sample.mydsl1in the solution explorer the XML file is opened and not the diagram design.

• Visual Studio Post-build event fails with error code 1

  I have a simple cmd file that copies some assemblies around after building a solution. It works fine from a command line, but it fails in the VS2005 IDE on build saying "exited with code 1."

• Gadgets Detecting Gadget visibility / screen saver & power saving state

  Is there anyway to detect if a gadget is visible or covered by other applications or if the screen saver / display power saver is on I'm creating kind of a slide show gadget which will download images from an external server and it's wasting of server bandwidth to keep downloading the images when the gadget isn't shown so I need some ways to detect when the gadget should be suspended. You can detect if it's visible on the Sidebar, see my comments in this thread. You can't however tell if another application is covering it, the screen saver is on, or the display is in power save. This could however be done with an ActiveX COM. For the window overlap, you'd have to step through all the active window han ...Show All

• Visual C# Chr (VB.NET) vs char (C#) dagger

  I am converting a VB.NET program to C#. One of the features is returning the character code for an ASCII value. The (char) cast or Convert.ToChar seems to work in most situations. However, in some ASCII(134) I get different returns between the VB and C# code. In VB, Chr returns the small 't' symbol alla http://yorktown.cbe.wwu.edu/sandvig/docs/ASCIICodes.aspx . In C#, (char) or Convert.ToChar returns the 'square' symbol alla unrecognizable. I've looked all over but have not seen how to resolve this(other than setting a refernce to Microsoft.VisualBasic which is something I frown upon). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks First of all, the official ASCII Code standard ...Show All

• Windows Forms The DateTimePicker is Ridiculous!

  Why doesn't the DTP allow you to select a Date AND a Time at the same time Instead, (from what I see) you have to create 2 DTP controls: One to select the date and another to select the time of day. Why can't they be on the same popup similar to how MS Access would let you select both Please somebody tell me I'm wrong and just missing something. I've been Googling around to try and find a custom one, but they are few and far between. Aren't there other people with this problem I thought this was basic stuff... If anyone knows of any custom controls that do this, I'd be greatful if you let me know. Thanks! Hello All. Igore99: You can have the DateTimePicker control select both the dat ...Show All

• Visual Basic Make a form bigger than my Screen Resolution

  I'm doing a report in a windows form (i'm not using crystal reports because don't have the licence), i need that the form can change it's height bigger than the screen resolution's height; it's there a way to do that Thanks. In the form you can always change the forms Width and Height. Me.Width = 2000 Me.Height = 2000 The user will have problems viewing it so an option is to have a panel that you resize to fit the report and set the AutoScroll property of the form to true. This will add scroll bars to the form if the panel is larger than the visible area of the form. Avoid having a form larger than the screen as the user is not able to view it all, use the scroll bar features of container control ...Show All
