• .NET Development Display the data from Access Database and Sqlserver in a single grid.

  I need to populate a grid with data from a table in Access DB and another table in Sqlserver. Can some body help me regarding this. Thanks in advance! Sandy absolutely. There are multiple threads about this...I hope these help get you started: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=753872&SiteID=1 http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=981046&SiteID=1 its the same for SQL Server also, the only things that really need to be changed are just the classes!

• Windows Forms How to: indicate changed value in DataGridView?

  Hi, In a DataGridView I need to indicate cells having a value changed by the user. At the moment I use the CellValueChanged event to set the cell font to bold upon a change of value: private void dataGridView_CellValueChanged( object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e) { DataGridViewCell cell = dataGridView.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[e.ColumnIndex]; cell.Style.Font = new Font (dataGridView.Font, FontStyle .Bold); } However the cell should also revert to normal (not bold) if the user happens to restore the original value. Where do I find the original value to compare with Is there a better way Note: the DataGridView's DataSource property is set to a DataTable loaded from a database. Your help will be much apprec ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Get Latest not getting latest

  In the last couple of days we have had a couple of occasions where a change has been checked in and then another developer does a get latest but the change is not picked up. After some other event occurring later the get latest does work (maybe refreshing the project view in Source Control Explorer works maybe not we haven't nailed down exactly what makes it suddenly get the latest version - maybe it is just time passing). Even a force get doesn't get the change yet if you view the file from within Source Control Explorer you can see the changes. Any ideas Regards Ian You can also try to clean the cache first and then try to the the latest files. Cache folder is under Documents and Settings\<Your a ...Show All

• Smart Device Development UPNP Argument

  Hi Alex ! Thanks again for all you help. I manage to go further. The problem of SID (0x80040207) is solved. To help me understand some stuff, I compiled the sample that we can find in the platform SDK (upnp/netds/genericucp). But it seems that there is some trouble with argument of actions. Here what I'm doing : - Launching GenericUCP.exe - Start DIscovery (It found a windows media connect server of mine, that is on a computer on the local network) - I select the following service : "urn:upnp-org:serviceId:ContentDirectory" - I type the action I want to invoke (i.e: GetSearchCapabilities) - I fill in the argument (i.e: SearchCaps) - I click on the "invoke" button, and I have the following mess ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can you configure Team Foundation Server to use port 80 instead of port 8080?

  Is it possible to configure Team Foundation Server to use port 80 instead of port 8080 Currently we do not recommend changing the port to 80. There is no document with detail on how to do this. We are working on this for next release. The issue is your sharepoint will be using port 80 and to configure TFS to use port 80 becomes complicated. regards ...Show All

• SQL Server Trapping errors in the control flow

  SSIS GURUS: I have read several posting about various modes of trapping errors, but none seem to directly address what I am looking for (SQLIS.com.MSDN, etc) Coming from a Java/C# background, I am looking for a way to trap errors that arise within the ssis control flow much like the said languges: try { do something } catch(AnExceptionType myException) { handle my exception } / ** my code at this point is unperterbed by the exception unless I explicitly raise the exception out of the scope of the exception handler. */ To make the analogy in SSIS, I want to be able to handle an error within a "container" and not have to handle the same error in surrounding containers. Example: I have a "Fo ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Debug applications on WinCE .NET 4.2 devices using VC2005

  Hello, I’m currently trying to debug a sample application on a WinCE .NET 4.2 device (a PNA) using Visual Studio .NET 2005 - unfortunally without success. Debugging with VS2003 worked fine after installing the "Windows CE.net Utilities for VS2003" and copying some dlls. I heard about the release of .NET CF SP1 where this problem should have been fixed. So I installed it - no success. How can I make VS2005 to debug my application correctly It always prompts a message "Socket operation on nonsocket". Debugging on "normal" PocketPC 2003 and WM 2005 PDAs works properly. Thanks in advance, Benjamin hi, I got same problem and when searching the web i saw your post. Please let me ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Using Office 2003 PIA with Office 2007 installed.

  I writing a program to automate excel some, I have office 2007 installed while the target machines are running office 2003. When I installed O2007 I didnt have any of the O2003 pia installed. The only way I could figure to install the O2003 pia's was to install O2003 in a seperate directory. In my program I removed the referance to Microsoft Excel 12.0 and added Microsoft Excel 11.0. It still looks like its using the 12.0 Pia and not the 11.0 pia. When I run the program on the target machine I get a "Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9ce111e9429c' or one of its dependencies.

• Visual Basic File not found, even though it exists!!

  I have already posted this item in the DirectX forums, but without success. Hopefully someone can find an answer! Hi I'm making an MMORPG in DirectX7 (NOT DirectX9, simply because DirectX7 is easier). I have made a 261-frame rendered intro sequence, and I have placed all these images into a DLL, which works fine and has absolutely no problems whatsoever. The problem is, when I extract the images to disk, then try and read them again in a surface loader, DirectDraw returns a File Not Found exception, even though the previous line of code tested the file's existence and found that it really did exist! Here's the code: Sub LoadIntro() Dim k Dim ddsd As DDSURFACEDESC2 ddsd.lFlags = CONST_DDSURFACEDESCFLAGS.DDSD ...Show All

• SQL Server Key Maintenance and Stored Procedures

  Basically I would like to ask whether parameters can be used to pass the value of the 'symmetric key id', 'certificate' and optionally 'password' to a stored procedure that uses encryption functions. The reason this is appealing is that when encryption keys etc change over time (we have a requirement to decrypt data, destroy and create new keys, then encrypt data every time we lose a staff - don't ask), as we would be passing the value of keys, passwords and certificates as parameters to a standard stored procedure. Hardcoded Example (Working) USE PSS GO CREATE PROC insert_payer_ba -- define parameters @param_rec_id NVARCHAR ( MAX ), @param_bsb NVARCHAR ( MAX ), @param_account NVARCHAR ( MAX ), ...Show All
