• Visual Studio Express Editions AutoIncrementing UniqueIdentifier column in SQL databse table giving NoNullAllowedException!

  Visual Basic 2005 Express: In my SQL database table, I have a CustomerNbr column. In Database Explorer's table definition it has "UniqueIdentifier" as it's data type, and is set as the PrimaryKey. In the XSD Designer, this field is set as the primary key, AutoIncrement=True. DefaultValue is <DbNull>, but, it won't let me remove this! When I add a record to the DataGridView, it correctly puts a "1" in the CustomerNbr column, but, when I update the record, I get a System.Data.NoNullAllowedException! >ok I think we have something here. >The database table, customers, had a schema change. So Delete "CustomerNbr" and create another field called "Cus ...Show All

• SQL Server Bug in MS Management Studio for SQL-Server 2005 while creating a publication!

  Hello, I found a bug in Management Studio, which can be reproduced with following steps: 1. Create a new publication with the 'New Publication Wizard' 2. Select a database which contains at least 2 tables. 3. Select 'transactional publicatioon' 4. Select at least 2 tables as articles 5. Set article properties for all table articles 6. Change 'Statement Delivery' to 'Insert statement', 'Update statement' and 'Delete statement' and save the article properties. 7. If you now check the properties for a single article you find that the 'Statement Delivery' is set to 'Do not replicate...'. If you generate this publication and create a subscritpion you will see, that actual no replication take place. It took me a while to find out why my replicat ...Show All

• .NET Development DLL loaded twice

  Hi, I was looking at DLLS used by a process using ProcessSpy and found that the process has loaded two DLLs for few of the system dlls like Systsem.Drawing.Dll, System.Windows.Forms.Dll etc. For one of these DLLs the version is 0.0.0.0 and the other one has a valid version. Unfortunately, I can't add a snapshot of the window here. What I am wondering is, whether its pretty common to have this behavior or something is wrong in the taks, the way it is loading DLL. Thanks, -Brajesh Your guess might be right, as I see that the version 0.0.0.0 is being loaded from C:\windows\assembly\nativeimages1_v1.1.4322\system.windows.forms\1.0.5000.0__b77a5c561934e089_fa580ca7 and the other version is b ...Show All

• Windows Forms OnClick preceding OnEnter

  VS 2005 / XP Pro -- both with all service packs It is my understanding that the OnEnter event should precede most (all ) other events for a control but... Our application has a form on which is a Tab-control. We load a number of controls dynamically onto this Tab-control -- ComboBoxes, CheckListBoxes, and TextBoxes. We haven't checked all the Tabs, but on at least one of the Tabs the OnClick/OnMouseClick event precedes the OnEnter event for the ComboBoxes and CheckListBoxes (but not the TextBoxes). Controls that are added at design-time on other Forms' Tab-controls have the events fire in the expected order -- OnEnter and then OnClick/OnMouseClick. Is my understand of the sequence of events erroneous or can someone g ...Show All
