• SQL Server Alter column name from SQL?

  How can you rename a column in a table (from c# code, preferrably from a SQL script command) without deleting the column and re-creating it with a new name Hello, SQL Server contains a system stored procedure called SP_RENAME which can be used to rename user created object (tables, column, sp's, ...) For more information, look at the BOL documentation on the subject http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188351.aspx (this is the 2005 version, but the system stored procedure also exist in previous version of SQL server) Hope this helps, ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do I get the location of the cursor? The text cursor.. not the mouse

  I need to get/set the location of the cursor within the textbox. But not the mouse cursor, but the text cursor, that one that blinks! :) I need to place him in specific places within the textbox, and I also need to know where it is... I made this Textbox that only accepts numbers by changing what text in the textbox with the texchanged event... but I need to keep the cursor on the same place... Well, thanks anyways! :) Hi, I have also faced the same problem and used the following solution. Assume Textbox name is txtbox: Get the Text box cursor position : Int32 Loc = txtbox .SelectionStart; Set the Text box cursor position: txtbox .SelectionStart = Loc; tx ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Suggestion: Selectively deploy objects

  Hi, This is a feature request. I think it would be nice to be able to "switch off" an object from being included in the DBPro build. This way, you could include things in your project but that don't need to be deployed until a later date. I recognise tht this isn't as simple as just checking a boolean flag - there's the whole issue of checking dependancies and thus disabling those as well. Thoughts Comments -Jamie So last post for the weekend ... I would rather all files be visible but they have an indicater in the Schema View to incidicate whether they are included in the build or not. .... That flag should be set via Schema View. Right, that is a weakness at the moment, I would also prefer th ...Show All

• Windows Forms String to int, Visual C# 2005

  Hey, How do you make the value of this: pictureBox1.Width = (maskedTextBox1.Text); pictureBox1.Height = (maskedTextBox2.Text); an integer becuase I get an error saying can not convert string to int...     Thanks :) Hi, It doesn't matter which line is highlighted when the stack is overflowed. It just happens to be this line of code. The problem is that your way of processing is wrong. The event CheckedChanged applies not only to the mouse select but also the programmatical set. Therefore when radioButton1 is selected, you set the radioButton2 to false. As the same time, the event CheckedChanged of radioButton2 is triggered, and it tries to set the radioButton2 to false. ... That's why you see they're ...Show All

• Visual C# stop running

  There is a invisible form in my C# Windows project. I hide the form and application working in background. I want to stop running by using two or more shortcuts.Only I can stop application from Windows Task Manager. How can I solve this problem In order to do this you’ll need to make a call to RegisterHotKey() to specify to the system a key combination you want to be informed about. You can find a pretty nifty C# class to do that here. Be sure to call System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run() when you are ready to wait for the keystroke as it will start the messaging loop that will enable your application to be notified of the keystroke. Does this work for you ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. MDX1.1, MDX2.0, XNA confusion

  I wrote several examples now as some mini prototypes of things I want to use in a visualization. I wrote the first in MDX1.1 before I kind of realized that there is a MDX2.0 library, too, so I continued with that one. Although the differences between the libraries (except of some namespace and method name changes) are not obvious to me, there are some advantages while working with VS 2005 (e.g. the LoaderLock warning in debug mode is gone). Now I read something about XNA and that MDX2.0 will be merged into XNA and never be released alone.... so my confusion, what should I use The program should be finished approx. by the beginning of next year. I do not know much about XNA at all, but if I should stick with MDX2.0, do I have to use ...Show All
