• Visual Basic Data Explorer Capabilities Redux

  I've viewed several posts on this issue.. but the answers are still not quite clear to me. I am using VB Express and have an existing .mdf running on a current instance of SQL Express. I'm fine with working with a local copy of the database which is created when I add the database to my project. However, even though when I exit and reenter the Database Explorer adds the connection to the added database, the connection is broken with error 26. Can you only work with databases you create in VB Express Is that the defiinition of a VBExpress database A local database Finally, the real question is: Can I connect to any exisiting .mdf database using Database Explorer and the design time tools Thanks. There probably ought to be a b ...Show All

• Visual C# Reinstall creates multiple entries in Add/Remove Programs

  Hi, I have an app that I have compiled several times to an installation program. In VS2005 I have DetectNewerInstalledVersion = true and RemovePreviousVersions = true. Each time I compile I increase the version slightly so I can run the setup without error, but when I do all these things, after installing different upgrades several times I see new entries into Add/Remove Programs. Is there something I can do in Visual Studio to correct this Mario, You are right, it is completely counterintuitive!! I have a VS2003 WinForms app for which I am providing constantly newer versions to the folks who are testing it for me. I want the installation to be simple: Just one the new MSI file and have it install over top of the old installation. To ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions External Tools

  Help tells me to goto Tools->External Tools to add an external tool such as the resource compiler. When I click on the ellipsis I am taken to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE. When I go back one level and open Tools there is no bin folder. Help says that is where the Resource Compiler resides. I have gone so far as to remove VB 2005 Express and reinstall. What in the world am I doing wrong It's under Common7\Tools\Bin . james aka:Trucker       Edit, sorry, I missed that you already checked the Tools\Bin folder. You probably need to install the 2.0 SDK. Here is the link to download the SDK. (hope you have DSL or similar, it's a large download for th ...Show All

• Gadgets File open Dialogue box

  Hi all, I’m looking to add the standard windows dialogue box for opening / saving files to my gadget.   I know that this can be done in xp using either the "UserAccounts.CommonDialogue" ActiveX Control or the "SAFRCFileDlg.fileopen" Control, but neither of these work on vista.   Any help as to what is the new activeX control, how to find what activeX controls are installed on vista or any api's (tried msdn library) would be gratefully received.   Dave Can you not use the Sidebar file dialogue var cfItem = System.Shell.chooseFile(true, "All Files:*.*::", "", ""); if (cfItem.path != "") { //do something with cfItem.path ...Show All

• Visual Studio Customize DSL

  Hi, Does anybody know how to display an icon before a property in a class. The DSL language has an example for this: the icon before a Domain property in a DomainClass. Are there any plans to have a decorator for this kind of scenario in a new version of DSL Hope somebody can help. Hi verhart, You can do this with a littl ebit of custom code in your designer. On your compartment shape, override GetCompartmentMapping and set the ImageGetter delegate to point to some code of yours that provides the image: protected override CompartmentMapping[] GetCompartmentMappings( Type melType) { CompartmentMapping[] baseMappings = base .GetCompartmentMappings(melType); ElementListCompartmentMapping mapping = baseMa ...Show All

• SQL Server SELECT Help Please

  Hi All... Consider the following table: RecId AssocId Text 1 10 blah 2 10 blah 3 20 blah 20 blah 20 blah Certain records are "associated" with each other using the column AssocId. I have a select statement that uses several other columns not shown and gets me a set of records. But I also want to include the records that are associated with each of those records in the set regardless of their other columns. That is if I have: SELECT * FROM Table WHERE RecId = 3 How do I also include those other 2 records whose AssocId match the one I got with the WHERE (and of course I want it in the same SQL statement...) Any thoughts Than ...Show All

• Windows Forms NumericUpDown - Prevent User Deleting Entry

  VS 2005: I have a NumericUpDown with Minimum=0 and Maximum=10000. Despite these settings the user can still delete the contents of the box completely. When this happens and the user tabs to another field, the actual value stays at the last value before the delete although the box is empty. The ValueChanged event does not occur. How can I prevent the user from deleting everything or make the actual value re-appear if he does so Ken, Thanks for your reply. Neither of these solutions is totally satisfactory. As you correctly say, the first is cumbersome for large numbers. The second would have to also cover Keys.Back and would then deny the user the use of the Delete and Backspace keys which would be t ...Show All
