• Visual C# DateTimePicker.ValueChanged event

  I am trying to build some code in this event. The idea is to open an ODBC table and populate a DataGridView with a limited subset. All records in the table are dated and the grid will contain records (schedule) for one date only. The problem I have is that if I go back a few months then every time I change the month with the tool button on the top (the left one) the event fires and the date I get is not the one I need. E.g. today is 10/06/2006 and I need to select 01/25/2006. Then on my first click it will fire with the date 09/06/2006, then 08/06/2006 etc... then finally on 1/06/2006 and after I selected 01/25/2006 in January I will get my date. In the meantime the gridView will get updated needlessly. MouseDown event does not fire ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Source Control for XNA Projects

  Previously, when we were using MDX 1.1 with C# we were able to use VS2k5 with a SourceSafe server on a machine running Windows Server 2k3. To my understanding, VC# Express does not integrate SourceSafe into the IDE like VS2k5 does. If that is incorrect please let me know. What options for version control do we have using VC# Express Thank you. There are no integrated add-ins for express so if thats what you want you are out of luck. However all version control tools come with their own UI for checking in and out so you just have to do it yourself using that. So any of them will do including VSS ...Show All

• Windows Forms Setup and Deployment Project FAQ

  Deployment FAQ   Q: I am now getting the following error when I build: " Unable to update the dependencies of the project. The dependencies for the object ' name.dll ' cannot be determined" A: Workaround :  Try to adjust the order of the Projects in the Solution and leave the Database project to the end. We can either edit the Solution (*.sln) file with notepad OR remove and add the Database Project back in the solution. (This also isn’t a great work-around as the addition of a project later in the development cycle will cause the corruption to re-appear).

• Smart Device Development addressing dependency with partial deployment of CF1?

  I discovered that a dll used in our solution has a dependency on mscorlib and System.dll version 1.0.500, while the rest of the solution is upgraded to Compact Framework v2. Is there some way to create a CAB that includes just those two CF1 files for deployment, instead of requiring all of CF1 along with all of CF 2 Or can I assume that the CF 2 version of these dependencies will be compatible Thanks. Yes, NETCF V2 would automatically redirect 1.0 assemblies on to 2.0 versions, so your solution should work. That is only true for NETCF V1 assemblies, desktop assemblies won't be redirected and would cause TypeLoadException. ...Show All

• SQL Server Show Monthly,Quarterly, and YTD revenue

  Hi All Experts, I need to show a result of a revenues total for Monthly,Quarterly, and YTD of a given sales person by a given period. e.g Period : 7-1-2006 to 8-1-2006 Sales Person Monthy Quarter YTD SalesPerson1 $1999 $10000 $100000 SalesPerson2 $1999 $10000 $100000 How can i do that Thanks in advance. It shouldn't be any worse than any other method. The calendar table is very small, so the join to it should not be very costly. Then it is just a matter of grouping. If you have too much data like this, then I would probably suggest going to an olap solution using Analysis Services, though I wouldn't know how to manually write that code in MDX :) ...Show All
