• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Why NULL values in the CustomerID column?

  Hello, I used the Customers and Orders tables from Northwind, I produced the code using SQLMetal this time. I launched the same code used in my previous thread: NorthwindDataContext ndc = new NorthwindDataContext (); Customer customer = ndc.Customers.Single(c => c.CustomerID == "TOMSP" ); ndc.Customers.Remove(customer); ndc.SubmitChanges(); All the records in the Orders table now have a NULL value in the CustomerID column! What is it ! Another bug Why the code doesn't remove them Thanks. Removing the Customer, simply breaks the association between the Customer and the Order, which as you are seeing set the Order's CustomerID to null. The Customer's Orders are not deleted automatically with an ...Show All

• .NET Development About Ngen

  What is the purpose of Ngen and why we require it The GacUtil is used to maintain the Glocal Assembly Cache of a computer. The GAC is used for assemblies that are intended to be shared along multiple applications on the same computer. By installing an assembly in the GAC, you can make it available to different applications. Installing an assembly in the GAC, does not generates a native image of the assembly. The assemblies in the GAC are still in MSIL and have to be JIT compiled when needed. For more information about the GAC, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconglobalassemblycache.asp Regards, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Form resize based on end-user settings

  What is the best way to keep a form's layout uniform accross different user settings For example, I have a program with textboxes, groupboxes, buttons and radio buttons. In the visual designer, everything is laid out in a uniform manner. Now, if I change the size of my system font or change DPI settings, the form's layout gets distorted, text no longer fits on the form or in the groupboxes, buttons are getting pushed off sides or the bottom, etc. I've messed around with the forms autosize properties, based off of font/DPI settings and that does work somewhat, things fit on the screen, but the layout then appears distorted or controls overlap. What I'm looking for are some tips on how to resize the controls on the form so it is still usabl ...Show All

• Visual C# Different ShortDateString Format with Windows

  I have a windows service that writes to a .txt file DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString(), the windows service wrote 7/21/2006, but when I use another program to print the DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString() using message box, it prints 7-21-2006.

• Windows Forms application not starting

  I have a clickonce application, when one particular user click on the install button, the pre-requisites gets installed but it will not launch the application. When the user click the 'launch' button then also nothing happens. I checked the registry entries and file association for .application and he does have those entries. Could someone give me an idea what could be causing the .application not to run at all Nothing happens when running .application. But no other clients have problem.
