• Visual Studio Express Editions Delegate, Invoke/beginInvoke. How it works.

  Could anybody please tell me exactly what is going on with delegates and Invoke/BeginInvoke. It is easy to make these functions work, but the explanations in the help files are so cryptically, that you may question whether the author of the help files actually knows what is going on! According to the help files, BeginInvoke executes a delegate asynchronously on the thread that the control's underlying handle was created on! I have been working with microcomputers since Intel 4004 and used multitasking when Microsoft was still in the DOS days, but this explanation is simply too cryptically. First of all, as I understand it, a delegate is a type-safe pointer, but a pointer is not executed - at least not in my terms. Subroutines are execut ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem with multi-valued parameters since SP1

  Hi, after the installation of SP1 I have a problem with multi-valued report parameters. The option to select all values are gone. Is there a bug within SP1 Before the installtion of SP1 multi-valued report parameters works fine, the option to select all values was added automatically within the preview in Visual Studio 2005 and in published reports on the server. The server was migrated from SQL2000 SP4 to SQL2005. So long Lemmi I'm sorry but this simulation of the "All" element is garbage! With all due respect this borders on condescending....yeah I could write a report in ASP.NET too but hey I have Reporting Services for that right This is not a solution.

• Visual Studio Express Editions MDI Closing RCW Error

  This one has got me completely stumped !! I've got a MDI window with mulitple forms inside, as a merged menu item I have Close window (on the Child) that appears in the MDI forms file menu list (this all works 100%). Now, if I click the close menu it fires the event handler in the child forms menu handler and executes a simple Close.Me function (that also works 100%). So what's the problem Okay, I want to spice up the menu a bit so I've put a shortcut key in there too, but if I press the shortcut key I get an RCW error: RaceOnRCWCleanup was detected Message: An attempt has been made to free an RCW that is in use. The RCW is in use on the active thread or another thread. Attempting to free an in-use RCW can cause corruption or data ...Show All

The popup windows provide a critical element of identity verification to the end user about who is responsible for the information shown. Placing the confirmation display inside an element of the same page provides no indication of where that information co ...Show All
