• Visual Basic populating a datagridview from a 2nd form

  I am having trouble populating a datagridview using a 2nd form. The datagridview is bound to a table on form 1. There is a button on form 1 which displays form2 where I enter the data to be displayed in the datagridview on form 1. The first time I do this it works fine and creates a new row in the datagridview and updates the underlying table. The second time thru, it populates the new row but does not create another new row. this row does not update the underlying table. Does anyone know why ...Show All

• Visual Studio Creating new item type

  How would I create a custom item type I want to allow the creation of assembly (.asm) files in my project and I cant figure out how to do this, so I thought a custom type would work. Thank you. Well yes I can have .asm files in my project already by going to "Add Existing Item..." and I created a custom build rule to assemble with NASM (since I prefer it over MASM). So I just need a way to "Add new Item..." and create an ASM file... the project knows what to do from there. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Accessing Remote Computer's Information

  Okay, I'm creating a Visual Basic .NET 2005 Windows Service. I need it to periodically access some remote servers for their information. Right now, I'm working with drive information, so I'm trying to get the total space and the amount remaining on the drive of the remote server. How do I go about doing that I'm trying to keep this service centrally located so that it can access 3 separate servers without loading and configuring it individually. I tried My.Computer.FileSystem.GetDriveInfo() and System.IO.DriveInfo, but, predictably, they only access local drives. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here's some snipets from a application i wrote to collect computer info from our network. Pub ...Show All

• SQL Server Loading data from xml

  I have an xml file I want to use as the source. It's not overly complicated, but not simple either. It has one hierachy, and one optional field and looks like this a 1 'text' 2 'text' b 1 'text' 2 'text' 'optional field' Ok, now I want the data to load like this: a,1,text a,2,text b,1,text b,2,text, optional field but when I try to use the xml source it won't create the xsd...anything I can do In your schema, do you have any complex types that have mixed="true" defined SSIS does not support this. You would need to change your content model on complex types to not be mixed, or preprocess the documents with an XSLT. thanks mark ...Show All

• Windows Forms Hardware Information in VB.net 2005

  Hi, Are there any good tutorials on retrieving hardware information using vb.net 2005, not 2003 or vbscripts. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Andrew Robinson. What exactly do you need to get from hardware information There really isnt a way in .NET, except for say getting information about the drives in your computer (drive type, capacity etc...) I think you may need to use WMI Example: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/hardware_properties_c_.asp http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms751672.aspx I think the last link will be the most useful to you ...Show All

• SQL Server Guest principal assigned to Datareader Role does have access

  Hello (help), In SQL2000, when the Guest account was assigned into a role, such as db_datareader, then querying across databases worked just fine. Specifically: I have a Report Writer application that connects to the SQL Server with a login (ReportRunner) that actually has very limited permissions on a database. The connection is then set (sp_setapprole) to use an Application role (App_RR) that has the necessary permissions. The report-writer app calls a Stored Procedure that gathers data from several other databases (on the same SQL instance). In SQL 2000, accessing these other databases was done through Guest - we assigned Guest to the db_datareader role. All worked fine. We've just upgraded to SQL2005: reports started failing. ...Show All
