• Windows Forms How to use dropdowns in a Dataset/Datagrid

  I am fairly new to Visual Studio/C#. I am trying to create a datagrid based on a Dataset. The dataset contains columns from a table where I want to use a dropdown for certain columns (status values, reference listboxes). Can someone give me some tips on how this is done Once the data adapter is created with the approprate table/columns, and I create the dataset, I then associate it with the grid. I am using Oracle for a database server if that makes any difference. THanks Here is a link to an msdn magazine article on how to create a datagrid combobox column. ...Show All

• .NET Development SOA Service and Deployment

  Hi, We have developed a Service using SOA. We plan to host it as Web Service to be cosumed by clients.However we want our internal .NET clients to use .NET Remoting (by hosting in the same web server as web service) to access the service and some other internal .NET clients to run the service as "InProcess" (by copying the Service binaries to the client folder). Will this model work Are we violating the concept of SOA Thanks, Suresh. Suresh, you model will work fine.... actually you are creating different "Service Interfaces" for your code..... you have a "web service interface", ".net remoting service interface" and "in-process".

• Visual C++ Sending CB_GETCOMBOBOXINFO Message in a Winform Application

  Hi, Trying to send the message by use of SendMessage function to a ComboBox control, first the compiler does not see the defined value of the CB_GETCOMBOBOXINFO, although the windows.h header file is added to the project.

And that Microsoft will "start from scratch" because of the clutter Microsoft Windows currently has. ...Show All

• Visual Studio List ReportItem much wider than the data

  Hello, I am using a list report item to display a couple of matrices, where the list allows me to display the same matrix reports filtered on a table field. The matrices alone are plenty narrow to fit inside the page, but I gave the list a colored background and find that it spills very far to the right side of the page. The list object (by looking at the colored background) is larger to the right than the data it contains. Thus I get a blank page between each printed page. I've read the blog pointed to by Robert and have verified the actual data itself is well within the page. I am truly lost here. Any help on this would be so much appreciated.
