• Software Development for Windows Vista WCS .NET 3 June CTP and IE7

  I've installed the last .NET 3.0 June CTP . My installation seems ok and I can create some personal cards using the selector (with its new GUI :)   Then I've tried to login to Kim Cameron's website and Microsoft Live Labs STS web site (the former one uses the HTML Object tag and the latter one the XHTML tag) Both trigger the selector... but only during 1 second and then it's closed. That's all :(   Did somebody succeed in authenticating to these websites using WCS .NET 3 June CTP   PS: This scenario runs well with the previous WCS version Beta 2.   [updated] Here my configuration: - XP SP2 - Not fresh install of winfx (previous one was Beta 2) - IE7 b ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Any way to add or hijack a pane in Outlook 2003?

  It seems that Outlook 2007 adds the ability to use "ActionPanes" to host UI for an add-in, but that Outlook 2003 doesn't support this (Word and Excel do). Nonetheless, Outlook 2003 has a right-column pane for Help, Clipboard & Research Services. Has anyone found a way to use this area, or any other means of bolting a panel to an Explorer or Inspector Thanks, -Allen Check out the developer library at http://www.add-in-express.com/outlook-extension/ ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to load service names into a combobox?

  I have been playing around with the ServiceController class and I was wondering if there is a way to retreive a list of all the service names progmatically and add them to a combobox. I have not found any way to "get" a service name list without already knowing the names. I don't really want to type out a list a generic services. Hopefully it is something simple I over looked and just being stupid... Thanks in advance. sure. Add a reference to System.ServiceProcess and then do this.... Dim theServices() as System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController = System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.GetServices() for each currentService as System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController in theServices Me.the ...Show All

• Windows Forms Best Way to Make DataGridView Pick Box

  In VS 2005, ASP.NET 3, I would like to make a pick box which would be a form containing a DataGridView where: - The user could type in one or more characters into a text box - When they stopped typing for say 1/2 second, the program would find the first match, if any, of the chars already typed in, and highlight that ro in the DataGridView. - They could click on "select", key in CTRL + S, etc, and the form would return the primary key of the selected row, then close. My question is the quickest way to populate the grid, then the quickest way to loop through the records to find a match. Lets say the grid contains 1,500 records. One column is a company name. The primary key value is not visible to the user. I've used such a form in ...Show All

• SQL Server In SSIS, what is the best way to take a column with comma separated strings and separate them to multiple columns

  Hi There, Can anybody suggest me what is the best way to take a column with comma separated stings and output them into multiple columns with strings for example if I have a column with "watertown, newton" as a string, I need to separate them to two columns with watertown and newton values Is Derived column transformation the best way to do it Thanks. Sam. Chris, While I am doing this, I need to look up for an id based on the city name and add as a new column. So in one row of data if I have four cities, I need to have 4 columns of their corresponding ids. I am using the look up transformation to get the id, but do I need to have 4 look up transformations to do that or can it be done by 1 look up transform ...Show All

• Visual C# Generics: Test for a datatype

  Hello, I want to add special handling for a generic class I am writing. See below: class MyGeneric<T> { private T val; public MyGeneric(int src) { // I want to add customized handling such as this below: if (T is string) val = src.ToString() } } Is this possible with generics The code belos is not exactly what I want to do, but hopefully it gets the point across... I want to have customized handling for cartain types for T. GMagana, you used the cast on the wrong side of the assignment. val = (T)(object) src; P.S. As for the nice formatting... as you can see from my posts I'm not the right person to ask. ;) HTH --mc ...Show All

  The Auto volume leveling doesn't scan the files I add to Media Player by dragging them onto files displayed in library (they are added to library, but the auto volume level value is not added).

• Visual Basic How do you link a dataGridView to a form showing data detail

  Hi, I've created a dataset using the 2005 wizards with two linked tables. Call them Order and OrderItems. I've created a form showing the detail of the Order table by dragging the OrderTable over from the Data Sources window. I want to show a datagridView showing the related order items. I have tried dragging the related table over as a DataGridView but although the datagrid appears with the right headings, nothing shows up when viewing the form. What am I doing wrong Is there any example code around that could demonstrate this Many MANY thanks!

• Windows Forms How to: design-time or run-time (again)

  Hi, I need a control to have a different visual appearance during design-time as opposed to run-time. Nothing fancy. As proposed so often before I use the " this .DesignMode" property. However: 1) Create a CustomControl and in the OnPaint() do something like: if ( this .DesignMode) pe.Graphics.FillRectangle( Brushes .Red, new Rectangle (10, 10, 10, 10)); 2) Create a UserControl and in the designer drop the CustomControl onto it. You will indeed see the red rectangle as intended. 3) Drop the UserControl on your main form. The red rectangle will not show. Apparently the DesignMode property is limited to Controls actually being editable. Understandable but I need design time appearance everywhere while w ...Show All

• Windows Forms BindingSource.AddNew from a DataGridView

  I have a DataGridView bound to a BindingSource whose DataSource has been filled from a SQL table. A dgv popup menu offers an 'insert a copy' option, ie it allows the user to insert a new row initialised to values in the row under the mouseclick. I cannot insert rows at dgv level because direct dgv inserts are not permitted when a dgv is bound; evidently .NET 2 evidently wants me to use BindingSource.AddNew. Very well, I add a handler to be called by BindingSource.AddNew ... bindSrcMaster.AddingNew += new AddingNewEventHandler(bindSrcMaster_AddingNew); The popup menu item event handler for CopyRow can figure out which dgv row to copy ... private void CopyRow(object sender, EventArgs e) { ToolStripItem menuItem = sender as ToolStripItem ...Show All
