• Windows Forms Combo Box Properties

  I have been trying to sort out a problem with using a datagridview and single record view. Essentially what I want to do is have a datagridview that when a user clicks on the grid they are selecting a record that can be edited in record view. And I have had a little success in doing this. My major problem is that I have a ComboBox in the datagridview that works, but I cannot get it to work in the record view. In the datagridview the properties are set: DataPropertyName = My_ID DataSource = MyDisplaySource DisplayMember = MyDisplayField ValueMember = MyDisplayField_ID This works as expected (Great) In the Record View properties box for my combobox I have set the following properties DataSource = MyDisplaySource DisplayMemb ...Show All

• SQL Server Building a report-dashboard in WSS 3.0 integrated mode

  I have a page with three Web parts; 1. Filter Web Part that uses a BDC-driven list of clients 2. Part showing RDL's from a doclib 3. Report viewer Web Part I can use the Filter part to supply a parameter value to 3. when I select an RDL manually, I can set the Viewer connections to get the Report Definition from 2. But I can't get both options to work at the same time. The reports in 2. all have the same Parameter so there shouldn't really be a problem. Looking forward to any suggestions or a way to provide feedback on the CTP (RS SharePoint Addin). TIA. Ed Thanks Brian, In my case, I made sure the reports have the same parameters. I understand what you are saying I was hoping there might be a workaround. I am ...Show All

• .NET Development Total weekend days?

  Here is a quickie - I can't think a way of doing this correctly. Perf is also a key here so I do not need any loops that are not required. I want to find out, the total number of weekend days between 2 dates. how can I do this I can't seem to find a class/method in .NET which does this and don't think its available. So if we had a start date of 08/08/2006 and an end date of 26/08/2006. Total days: 18 Total Weekend days: 5 if we had a start date of 10/08/2006 and an end date of 15/08/2006.

• Visual Studio Express Editions SortedList Strange Behaviour

  Or maybe, just a strange coder The code is below. I have put two mark in where you should break. Also a Stop before where the problem appears. This code does run. If you iterate thru the breaks, you can see that the Tmp variable has the correct value at each iteration. The key is also correct. and the SortedList (Temp1, Temp2) show correct values at each break. But ... When I attempt to iterate thru the SortLists using For Each, every value returned is THE LAST VALUE inserted into the SortedList. This might be the last value entered in Temp1 or Temp2 (depending on which was the last one added). That is: both SortedLists seem to be pointing their 'value' to the same place in memory ( ) The keys are returned ok. It is just the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Explorer setup failed on my XP

  Hi, I am trying to install the Team Foundation Server Explorer so that I can use it with my project in CodePlex. However, I keep having difficulties installing it, as it consistently failed while trying to install the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition and then bypass the Team Explorer all together.

• Visual Basic Menustrip

  Hi, I was hoping that somebody could tell me how to program a "new" function for a menustrip. I want this to reload my program. Private Sub NewGameToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles NewGameToolStripMenuItem.Click Dim Monopoly As New Monopoly Monopoly.Show() Me.Close() End Sub That is what i have so far the only problem is that it opens a new program then closes the both of them. How do i distinguish the new form from the old or is there a way around this Actually, that does work, but then when i go to exit the program the hidden from is still running in the background. Because i have Program shutdown mode set as "When l ...Show All

• Visual Basic I'm making a conversion program...

  For those of you who know me, I've finally settled on an idea for a program. It converts (for starters) from anything that ends with meters (you know, centimeter, millimeter, kilometer) into anything else that ends with the word meters. You get the idea. I'm useing combo boxes, and I need to assign values to the names in the box, so they can be multiplied. Like, the selection (this is exactly what it looks like) "centimeter(cm)" needs to be assigned the value 0.01. How do I do that, and make it so that when one thing from one box is selected, and one thing from another box is selected, and a button is clicked, they get multiplied together Thanks. But what if they type in 8, and want it to be in c ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WCF Authentication - Point me in the right direction pls

  Greetings, I am writing a c# 2005, smart client application and have decided to use WCF as the transport layer. Having previously only used HTTPS ASMX based web services for such a distributed style application I am quite new to some of the concepts involving how to secure WCF. Perhaps someone can recommend the best approach to my scenario, the smart client will be public web based and ClickOnce updateable, therefore no Windows usernames or groups will be used, each smart client user has a set of 4 custom credentials required in order to logon to the WCF service, these credentials would be checked with custom code which looks in a back end SQL database. In the past I have kept it pretty simple and used a custom single Logon me ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista SharePoint WF host?

  hello, There's a project I will be working on that consists of a mix of human workflows and system workflows. The human actors will interact with the workflow through SharePoint 2007, and the system workflows will be communicating with many other apps/services through either web services or .Net remoting. My question is, what should I use as a host for this workflow SharePoint, web service, and windows service all seem to be valid choices. Is it possible to have 2 different hosts running concurrently working with the same workflow instance e.g. a Sharepoint host for the human workflow portions, and a windows service for the system workflow portions. Any comments that will make this a little clearer is be appreciated ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Programming Outlook: Security problems

  Hi, I am trying to program an Outlook add-in with VS 2005. I have VTSO for 2005. The problem I have is when I'm trying to use Dns.GetHostAddresses (with 127.0.0.1 but others that are good with other projects do not work either) and I get a securityexception with this message: Request for the permission of type 'System.Net.DnsPermission, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Adding a simple shader to render a ModelMesh

  I'm trying to figure out how to render with a shader instead of the default render style. I have quite a bit of experience with CG shaders from NVidia so I know the concepts, but when I'm trying to use XNA's HLSL, nothing is showing up. Here's what I'm doing. Any ideas what's wrong I'd like to note that I HAVE been following the help files, but the help files go into DrawIndexedPrimitive rather than mesh.Draw(), which I know isn't required and only helps to confuse me with the idea of applying a shader effect. On Load: shaderEffect = content.Load<Effect>("Content\\Shaders\\simple"); shaderEffect.CurrentTechnique = shaderEffect.Techniques["TransformTechnique"]; effectParam_wvp = shaderEffect.Pa ...Show All
