• Visual Studio Express Editions Datagridview cell content deselect

  I have a question regarding the Datagridview control. When I use mouse to select one cell, the value of this cell will be selected automatically, but I would prefer it not being selected, just put the cursor at the end of the value. How can i do that Thanks   I didn't set any of those. Whatever I set is set in code.   Try unsetting the things you set, like edit on enter etc and then see if the de-select works> Btw it's "code"  it's never "codes".  ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Time-tracking for TFS work items?

  Does anyone know if there is a way to track the time spent working on a work item   I'm thinking of something like a "clock-in/clock-out" feature, so a developer can record the actual time spent working on a particular task, etc. I assume that if there isn't a built-in way to do this, there might be a way to build this in as custom functionality.  Any ideas/guidance Updated Question:  Perhaps I should have stated this better earlier... TFS work items obviously have a field or two in which a developer can enter the total time spent on a project, but what I'm looking for is a way to help track and calculate that total time, based on a mechanism (like a chess timer, for example) which would allow a user to "clock in" ...Show All

• Visual C# Is it safe to remove a delegate inside its delegated method?

  This sounds a bit strange but it's a real world problem. Say I have an event Disposing and a method F() handles that event. obj.Disposing += new EventHandler(F); ... void F() { ... obj.Disposing -= new EventHandler(F); } Here's the problem, F() is going to remove itself from the invocation list of the Disposing event right at the time it's invoked. I don't find a statement for this in the spec. So could anybody tell whether this is designed to be safe or not guaranteed Thanks in advance.

• Visual Basic Program to execute on one machine only

  Hello, My problem is that I want to deploy my program onto a 'thumb drive' and sell it that way and I need the program to only run off that drive. It is a small program that can easily be copied and run by anyone so I thought that if I could somehow 'lock' it to the small USB drive then that would solve my problem. Because some games require a CD to be in a drive before they will run I figured that that would be something that I could do, my problem is finding any help in how that might be accomplished. Can anyone point me in the right direction Thank you very much Bill Langston I think I'm getting closer. It looks like I can use the DriveInfo.GetDrives method to determine if the drive is a removable one and work wi ...Show All

• Windows Forms Reliable enough?

  I'm working on making my application work with ClickOnce deployment. It is an application that will be sold to custommers, thus installed on all kind of computers. So my concern right now is, is ClickOnce relable and mature enough, or I will be faced from time to time with problems on specific computers From what I can see, some issues will show up on specific cases. Hopefully not too often. Any comments Hi Mystery (I like the name) I was there. It all depends on how well you package your application and remove as much dependency as possible. Operating System and patches change per machine to machine. I have tested my application on different kind of PCs and different OS (2000 and up) and so far most o ...Show All

• Windows Forms AutoResizeColumns gives operation exception

  Hi, I'm having a problem with the AutoResizeColumns method on a DataGridView. I'm calling it in the DataBindingComplete event handler: void DrmGridView_DataBindingComplete(object sender, DataGridViewBindingCompleteEventArgs e) { this.AutoResizeColumns(); } but I get an operation exception with this message: "This operation cannot be performed while an auto-filled column is being resized." My grid has five text columns that are the properties of objects collected in a BindingList<>, and using a BindingSource. It's fine without the AutoResizeColumns (apart from the column widths!).

• Smart Device Development Datatable refuses to go out of US date time format C#

  This C# does not seem to work: newTable.Locale = new CultureInfo ( "sv-SE" ); // newTable is a Datatable  It's still in US datetime format. I've tried lots of different constructs. I working in Windows CE 5.0 DataGrid shows data in this case, so formatting should be done by DataGrid. That is supported starting NETCF V2 SP1. DataGridTextBoxColumn.Format is relevant property in that case. It's not going to change locale but it would format data as you need it to be formatted.
