• Visual C# help with events to make this little code from patterns & practices work

  Hi I saw this code in patterns & practices for defining events for business entity: My question is right at the buttom. // Define a common event class for all business entity events public class EntityEventArgs : EventArgs {   // Define event members, to provide information about the event } // Define a delegate specifying the signature for business entity-related events public delegate void EntityEventHandler(Object source, EntityEventArgs e); // Define a custom Entity class that raises events when the business entity state changes public class OrderEntity {   // Define 'before' and 'after' events for business entity state changes   public event EntityEventHandler BeforeChange, AfterChange;   // Private field ...Show All

• SQL Server RS2005 Date parameter - JScript error

  I have a RS2005 report that was deployed to a ReportServer and has been running for over 1 month. I personally have not run this report in the past month, however, today when I tried to run it I got an error trying to select a date parameter. I can't paste samples of the windows displayed, so I'll do my best to explain. When I click on the report, it goes to the View window and displays 2 date parameter fields. When I click the icon next to one of the parameter fields, I get an error window that says A Runtime Error has occurred. Do you wish to Debug Line: 383 Error: 'resultfield.id' is null or not an object I click Yes and get a VS Just-in-Time Debugger window, where I choose New instance of VS 20 ...Show All

• Visual Basic Drag and Drop Problem

  All, A simple problem I hope. I have a list and drag items from the list to another control starting the the drag and drop operation on the mousedown event of the list. However when the mousedown event fires the drag and drop operation begins but the list doesn't update until after the drag and drop has completed. Basically, I want to click on an item in the list, the list to update something with the selected item, some code to run to determine whether the item clicked is allowed to start a drag drop operation, and if so to begin a drag drop operation (all in the mousedown event) pheewwwww!! I ve currently got around this by using the hover selection option on the listview but I d rather click on an item to select it rather than hover ov ...Show All

• Windows Forms Using Visual Studio Deployment Projects to install standard windows shortcuts instead of advertised shortcuts

  I have found many questions in various MSDN forums posted by people who are having problems with the shortcuts that are installed in the Start>Programs menu. These problems boil down to the use of advertised shortcuts by windows installer as a default. An example question is ( http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=155266&SiteId=1 ): Shortcut problems     I created a VS 2003 deployment project and I've set it up the way I want, even with a custom installer class.  At first I had shortcuts on the desktop and in the program files that were working.  Now, the shortcuts will uninstall the program if you double click them.  When looking at where they are pointed, they show the install ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How does WPF Handle simple control focus?

  I don't know if I am missing something, but WPF seems to be having trouble handling focus changes. If I make 2 textboxes and a button to switch the focus between them, something strange happens. WPF thinks it changed the focus upon the button.Click event, but it actually takes another mouse click (actually anywhere on the window, even the titlebar!) to make the cursor actually move from one textbox to the other. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.Windows; using System.Windows.Controls; namespace Project3 { class Starter { [STAThread] public static void Main() { Application application = new Application(); Window1 window = new Window1(); application.Run(window); ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) LINQ syntax in VB.NET

  I've been looking into this LINQ thing, and it's looking good. Thumbs up! I watched the videos on Channel9 with the Great Dane Anders Hejlsberg (ok he lives in the US but I like to think of him as Danish) - godt gaet Anders og co! I really like the syntax in C# where you turn the query around when compared to SQL, so it is like FROM {x} WHERE {y == 1} SELECT {z}. This I understand was done because of IntelliSense, which is great. Now I have learned that the VB.NET implementation is not turned around, it's more like SQL, and I wonder why... Are we gonna lose IntelliSense over this /Klaus Enevoldsen Now that we're breaking SQL compatability (which doesn't bother me at all) I'm reevaluating what I consider l ...Show All
