• Windows Forms Bindingsource to object failing with "DataMember property [property name] cannot be found on the DataSource."

  We're utilizing bindingsources to connect to custom collections of business entities. The custom objects contain properties that are collections of other objects (using List<obj>). We have a lot of dropdown controls on the form which result in upwards of 20+ binding sources on the page. We have started getting errors in the designer file related to the bindingsources that don't make any sense. For instance it will break at the following line: ((System.ComponentModel. ISupportInitialize )( this .codeVOBindingSource)).EndInit(); With the error: "DataMember property 'Country' cannot be found on the DataSource." The Country property is not at all related to the codeVOBindingSource though. Also, it will work fin ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Persistence and Serialization Error

  I have recently upgrade to the June CTP. I am experiencing an odd error when using the delay activity. Using SQL Profiler I can see that the call to "InsertInstanceState" passes a "status" paramter value of 3. What exactly is 3, is there a reference doc somewhere I can download to see all statuses In addition, the info parameter has the text, 'System.Net.Mail.Attachment'' in Assembly ''System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'' is not marked as serializable. I am using the EmailActivities provided on the WF site. I compiled them in VS2005 and added the activity to my IDE. Once my workflow completes the delay is supposed to email me. This never happens. Rather my workflow hits the d ...Show All

• SQL Server Anyone completed the SQL Business Intelligence exams?

  I've just done my final exam on SQL BI (71-445 & 71-446), have to say I gotta commend Microsoft for the new testing systems; much better than before. Anyone else done the exams and have some input on them. Currently revising for MCITP so my girlfriend is not happy ;-), but she knows it's worth it. Hi John, I also took the 71-445 and 71-446 exams. I can say that a BI exam covering SSRS, SSAS, SSIS and data mining is a good concept. Since BI Development is also becoming a major development branch within SQL Server. You can find my comments on both exams on my blog entries http://www.kodyaz.com/blogs/software_development_blog/archive/2006/11/30/480.aspx and http://www.kodyaz.com/blogs/software_development_blog/archive/20 ...Show All

• .NET Development Resource files and satellite assemblies ...

  Hi I'm attempting to deploy a solution where a resource file of strings can be modified at runtime. From what I gather from the documentation I need to provide a satellite assembly (which has the string resource file) alongside the main assembly. The main assembly has the string resource file embedded within it so it can act as the default. It appears from the info I have that when I deploy the satellite assembly with a different set of string values these can be used by the application instead of those embedded within. Unfortunately when testing this it does not appear to work. Key aspects of the solution is as follows: In the main assembly I have defined <Assembly: NeutralResourcesLanguageAttribute( "en" , Ultima ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Default web search engine

  Hello All How can you tell WDS to use google for the default web search, currently mine now goes to http://wwwa.look-up-results.com/ cannot find any info for this site on google ot any other search engine Any assitance greatly appreciated Hello Kaiservunderbar, WDS uses the default search service that you've chosen in Internet Explorer (IE). If you like to change your default search service you can do the following. Open IE and click on View:Explorer Bar: Search. Once there you can select your default search service from the list. It also sounds like you may have some adware or spyware that is setting your default search service to the wwwa.look-up-results.com engine. If this is the case ...Show All

• SQL Server permissions

  I have a database with two tables. One is updated only through a form. The other is updated through a form that is attached to a query that is attached to the table. I cannot figure out what permissions are required to update the second table. What permissions should I grant in addition to the permissions that are granted to the first table as I can update the first table. The query is just used to sort the table for better presentation in the form that is used to input new records in that table. The front end im using is access. What should I do ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums PushPin Pop-up with small map zoomed...

  Hello all, Just got into VE, it's a lot more fun to figure this one out than the others. I hope the community continues to grow. I have been cracking the surface of using VE in the past week and have been trying to get a small map to show up in the pushpin roll-over div. I am not sure how to approach this, so what I started to do is create a fuction that creates another instance of the MAP, but with the current lon/lat and a closer zoom to see the pushpins exact location much closer. I can't figure out how to get this into the DIV popup... it's driving me nuts. Is this possible in VE I am sure it its, but not sure what all is offered in the current version of the VEPushPin constructor.. Any help would be cool. Thanks! Yeah, this ...Show All

• Windows Forms Make sure you are not dividing by zero.

  I am getting this message at this statement: g . DrawLine ( p , xPos + offset , yPos1 , xPos + offset , yPos2 ); g is an instance of the Graphics Class. It is not my code. I am trying to adapt NPlot package to my main application. The whole thing works well when NPlot uses an XML file (DataSet) that comes with NPlot. I copied the schema to another file and input my own data into the dataset and this error sprang up. I do not understand what the difference really is since I tried to copy everything slavishly. There are no dividions in the set of parameters. I cannot figure out why this message is appearing. Thanks. More and more good pointers. Many thanks. BTW NPlot is www.NPlot.com It is a good package. ...Show All
