• Visual Studio Team System Custom Control Feature

  I want to try out the new custom control feature. I have installed the SP1 Beta but I don't know where to start... Could anybody point me out a sample or give me an idea how to build a new work item custom control Do I have to inherit from a specific class, do i have to register my control type somehow, how do I reference it in the work item section of the process template Thanks! Mike Naren Thanks for the info - this should be very useful. At the moment we haven't deployed SP1 as we don't have a TFS instance that isn't live and our technical team who manage the servers a cautious about putting beta software on our TFS. I will get onto this though when SP1 goes live. Thanks Steve ...Show All

• Windows Forms Databinding to textboxes on form using SQLExpress

  I am having trouble getting table data from my SQLExpress connected databases to bind to the textboxes in my form. I can perform a grid view of the tables data just fine. Any suggestionson what am I missing in the form design I don't have any code to show. What I am interested in is why, in the devleoper environment, I can't just bind a datasource to a textbox in a form like I do in MS-ACCESS.  This SQL Server Developer Edition is making it way too hard to do a simple task. I am saying when you elect view all the table data to a grid, that works. I want to add text boxes to a form and it complains of a binding errror when I do this.   ...Show All

• Visual C# Using Path.getfullpathname() returning different results

  I was under the impression that when i use Path.getfullpathname(folder) it returns the full path name of the 'folder' if found in the debug directory or VS. This is usually the case, but sometimes it returns a completely different address. This, obviously is a problem. How do i get the path name of a folder in the debug directory everytime. Am sure there is a hole in my knowldge here. As the problem occurs after i select something from a different adirectory. It is like VS is remembering where i selected a file (using the openFileDialog) and then when i use getFullpathname, is going back to the dir from the open file dialog. Anyways around this without hard coding in the path You misunderstand what GetFul ...Show All

• SQL Server Multiple result sets from a stored procedure

  I have a stored procedure like the following. This returns 2 result sets, however i only want it to return 2nd (SELECT SomeField FROM SomeTable). How is this done Note - it is not possible to change 'SomeSPThatReturnsAnIntAndAResultSet ' CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo] . [SomeSP] @SomeParam int AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON ; declare @SomeScalar int exec @SomeScalar = SomeSPThatReturnsAnIntAndAResultSet @SomeParam if @SomeScalar = 0 BEGIN SELECT SomeField FROM SomeTable END END Tim: I assume that the internal stored procedure always returns a result set. If that is true, try absorbing the results of that stored procedure into a temp table such as: ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions This is puzzling, well it is to me?

  I open MSWord and create a document with formatted text Red, Blue, underline etc I then copy it to the clipboard, then paste it in to my program where it appears with exactly the same formatting as it had in word, so far, so good. I now switch back to MSWord and save the document, back to my program and open the document but now all the formatting has gone, so it must be the way that I am opening the document is wrong. Here is the code that I use, already been posted in another thread, but I feel it's better to keep all info in the same thread. Case "doc" objWord = CreateObject( "Word.Application" ) objDoc = objWord.Documents.Open(OFD1.FileName) objDoc.Select() rtbText.Text = objWord.Selection.Text objDo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Buttons to be pressed!

  Hi i am really new to Visual Basdic, and fairly new to programming, but i do know the basics :D. I want to make a basic calculater with the buttons "1,2,3,4,...and +, /,-,*". Now im stuck in the codeing part. I have writen for when one gets pressed... Dim Button1 As Boolean If Button1 = True Then TextBox1.Text = "1" Now this code was written for the texbox that the numbers you press appear in. And looking back at the code, i can see its wrong because it makes button 1 a variable, not a object. So is there a way for somthing like this to happen "if button1 is pressed, make 1 appear in textbox1." Thanks in advance for any replies! Hi sorry to be a pain again, ...Show All
