• Windows Forms Calculate visible data in a connected datagrid column only

  Hello, This is a hard one and I am not sure if anyone can help me please. I have a connected datagrid to a table in which the 'table has a thousand records'. I am able to populate the datagrid with the data I need only using a date range. So with the 25 rows of data in the datagrid I have requested I need to calculate column A. I am not interested in calculating the full column in the table only whats visible in the datagrid. Can anyone please help me with sample code Thank You Joe Hi Paul thanks for that. The date range is between the dates entered in 2 text boxes on the form and teh summing needs to be done on the visible data in the data grid. I think I might have to purchase e ...Show All

• Visual Studio Returning variables from the BuildEngine to application

  Hi, I have an application that runs a MSBuild engine and I can pass parameters, and build projects fine, but I also want to get the variables set during the build (like a task output) into my application. I was able to do this in custom tasks using custom events and catching this in the logger but this seem clumsy. Is there a way of getting the engines parameters after the build is done. Thanks, Kuruvilla. ...Show All

• SQL Server Check if a windows/nt user account exists

  I have some script which creates/grant priveleges to windows/nt users to DB but i frequently get the message below: Windows NT user or group '<user or group>' not found. Check the name again. I understand that this is because the said user/group is indeed not present in the environment I'm running the script (ie. testing and production environment). But is it possible to have some sort of checking whether the user/group exists in the environment so that I could determine whether or not to call some lines of code Not sure if this is possible so i had to ask. c",) SELECT * FROM sysusers will show the users from the current database.

• Windows Forms After installing a Windows Update, I get Type 'AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser' is not defined.

  I have an older VB.Net 2003 project that used the mshtml DLL to add a web browser to a form for displaying HTML help files in my application. After installing a security update from Windows Update website, I now get a "Type 'AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser' is not defined." error when I try to compile this project. Has the WebBrowser COM component been taken away from us still using Visual Studio 2003 If so, what are we supposed to use instead OK... resolved this issue. Apparently the security update made the DLLs in my assembly references obsolete and removed them. I had to ensure that current SHDocVw.dll & AxSHDocVw.dll existed by running the import utility.

• Windows Forms Webbrowser Control and cookies

  I want to be able to store seperate cookies in each web browser instance... Yet I can't find out how they are stored, I can change them on the per-document level... but that wouldn't be a good idea would it It would change global cookies too right Basically I want to create some kinda cookie container (not the one used for httpwebrequest...) and assign each browser it's own container... I've also heard about extended web browser controls and web browser controls based off the firefox engine, wheres info on these, I can't find them. You can't do this either for example if you had created your own request and response objects then you enter form data in the webbrowser control those cookies do not persist into the browser ...Show All
