• .NET Development Trouble with root node of a transformation

  I’m having trouble with a transformation where the XML document doesn’t have a root node. Instead, the XML document has a root element with attributes which (I believe) is the reason why I can’t get the result I’m looking for. Below is all the code. Thanks for you help.

• Windows Forms Displaying a usercontrol in a DataGridView cell

  I need to display usercontrols in the cell of the DataGridView. The edit control feature, that displays a single control while the cell is in edit mode, is not sufficient. I need to display multiple controls, of different types (plotters, gauges, etc) in multiple cells. I read the warnings about this feature not being supported by DataGridView. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find ANY .Net grid on the market that supports this feature. With trepidation, I tried it anyway. I made a custom cell that creates a user control and used the Paint override to move the control into the cell display rectangle. It sort of works, but there are a few boogers: 1. The grid steals the return key message from my usercontrols. Some of my controls use the retu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Same Transition but different Users

  Hello, I am currently customizing a work Item and I would like to have the reason, for a transition, to be dependant of the user group. I.e.

• SQL Server simple text processing e.g. regex search and replace

  I've got an nvarchar(max) column that I need to transform with some simple text processing: insert some markup at the very beginning, and insert some markup just before a particular regular expression is matched (or at the end, if no match is found). Since the SSIS expression language doesn't support anything like this, is a Script Component the only way to go Does Visual Basic .NET provide regular expression matching Thanks!

• Windows Live Developer Forums Getting Long/Lat in Birds Eye view mode

  Hi, I am currently trying to get the Longitude and Latitude co-ordinates whilst in the Birds Eye view mode but it would seem this is not possible even though you are allowed to set pushpins whilst in this mode... I would have thought if you could set pushpins, you should also be able to retrieve details... Has anyone managed to get around this issue Cheers, Woody. Grr, It looks like V5 has removed all ability to get to the lat/long. And we have no sign of the method to retrieve the information from the encypted value. Looks like I won't be able to support birdseye mode for clustering without some serious hacks Has anybody be able to retrieve anything to determine the bounds of th ...Show All

• Visual C# Problem in adding controls dynamically to ToolBox

  Hi Everybody, I need a little help in migrating my VS2003 ConsoleApplication to VS2005. My console application adds a few server controls (built by me) to the toolbox in runtime. However on migrating the code to VS2005 the code is not adding the controls to the new tab, though a new tab is created. The following lines of code add the controls to the tab. ToolBoxTab tab tab.Activate(); tab.ToolBoxItems.Item(1).Select(); tab.ToolBoxItems.Add( "MyControls" , System.

  Hi All. I've been studying C#/.Net 3.0 programming ever moment that I'm not shacked to my real job.

• .NET Development "Work around" the one base-class limit

  Hi all, I would like to add some extra functionality to several existing classes. The implementation of this extra functionality is exactly the same for all the classes. Unlike some other OO languages (like c++), the .NET framework only allows one baseclass to be used, so I cannot put this implementation in a single class, and derrive my new class from the both the original class AND the class with my extra implementation. One way to work around this, is to add one property to each of the derrived classes which contains an instance of a class with my new implmentation. But, I would rather extend my classes directly with the new properties and methods. Is there any way I can accomplish this without have to resolve to copy-paste ...Show All

• Windows Forms Login Form connected to access database

  Hi, I am trying to do a login thing in VB2005 Express, but I have an access database with the usernames and passwords and other stuff like names in it, and a login form that asks for a username and a password.

• .NET Development How to unregister a COM wrapped .NET assembly?

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Dual Factor Service Authentication

  Hi, What I would like to do is to establish "dual factor" authentication for a service. Basically, I want to ensure that the machine certificate and an appropriate username/password is supplied to the service in order to construct the appropriate claims. I've been toying around with various configuration file entries, and I can't seem to find the appropriate set of bindings to make this work. In these cases, the clients are presenting these items to the STS which is issuing the appropriate claims which are verified at the receiving service. There are two scenarios that need to be handled: 1) Utilize current Windows Login information along with the machine certificate 2) Utilize custom username/password along with the ...Show All
