• Visual Basic question about references

  If I add a reference to my solution by right clicking on the references in the solution explorer and selecting add reference, what am I doing I understand what I did, but, what effect does this have on my application. I am assuming that this is where I can add my custom classes to the program. (or other classes that I have). Am I correct in this assumption. If not, can anyone please point me into the correct direction This allows you to utilize the Classes, method, enumerations, constants etc. that are defined in the assembly that you are making reference to. These could be user defined - if you create a class library or they may be system classes eg. System.dll ...Show All

• Windows Forms disabling the mainmenu in a form

  Hi Does anyone know how to make the main menu in a form non responsive. I have this function which expects the user to pick a point on a pictureBox in the form with the mouse. Until this happens i want to stop the user selecting anything else on the form. The only thing he can selected at the moment is in the main menu that's why i want to make it non responsive for a while. Any ideas how to make this work. Much appreciate it. george Yes, MenuStrip.Enabled works. You also might want to turn on mouse capture (PictureBox.Capture = true) to redirect all mouse input to the picture box. Modal operations like this are usually a lot of trouble, considering just setting a flag that indicates "the next MouseD ...Show All

• SQL Server There must be an easier way - Dupe check and Increment field

  Greetings all, I have a bit of brainteaser that's going to take some serious thought. I'm importing information from .xls files into a SQL table. The problem is I need to check for dupes and increment certain fields on success of dupe find and then not insert or delete the dupes. For example, if I have Adam, Turner, 32, 50 already in the table and someone tries to insert Adam, Turner, 32, 50...I need it to increment to read Adam, Turner, 64, 100 and not insert the record. (Notice 2 fields were incremented.) With that, I have created an INSERT trigger as follows: set ANSI_NULLS ON set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO ALTER Trigger [dbo] . [trgInsertCheck] ON [dbo] .
