• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Xml Data Binding Performance Issue (Re-post)

  I am running the .Net 3.0 RTM and have come across a performance problem with data binding. I am data binding XML which is updated once per second to a ListView/GridView . I have noticed that cpu utilization increases rapidly as the number of items in the ListView grows. For example, on my IBM Thinkpad 43p, if I have 3 items, cpu utilization is 8%. If I have 6 items cpu usage grows to 30%. At 12 items it is approaching 100%. As the number of lines of XML grows, the performance gets worse. In the code behind, I have a single XmlDocument that I set to the data context of the ListView: XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument (); instrumentList.DataContext = doc; When new Xml is available, I do the following: doc.LoadXml(theX ...Show All

I guess I both misunderstood his problem and what the CopyPicture function is capable of. I was under the impression that he wanted to copy an image of an entire document , rather than just a single region -- simple enough, but I was also working under the misconception that CopyPicture wouldn't be able to grab a screenshot of an area bigger than what could be displayed (don't know why I thought this...)

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Problem in Charts

  "Line - Column on 2 Axes" With VBA I used to call ApplyCustomType with the parameters xlBuiltIn and "Line - Column on 2 Axes".

• Visual Basic How to not get combobox SelectedIndexChanged be executed on load

  Hello, As what the subject line is.... What is the method to not allow combobox SelectedIndexChanged to be executed on load... and only make it to be executed when a "USER" changes the selection value. Thanks Why dont you set the SelectedIndex back to 0 after programmatically adding the values Or you could also add a button for the user to press when they are ready to run the application, so it will only then go ahead and populate the values. If that is a bad idea, what about adding it through the designer (Design view, select combo box, then in the properties window select items and add them) - if you do it this way, items get added and the selectedIndex does not change, pretty much makin ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums passing data in multiple rows in a recordset

  I have a recordset that consit of 5 rows 6 columns. each column has a name. i would like to retrieve the second row in the recordset. I can read the first row, but I am lost as to read the second row in the recordset... help!! hi, there are a couple of Move methods that let you navigate the rows of a recordset, MoveFirst, MoveNext, MovePrevious, MoveLast and just Move. You need to be wary though as moving back and forward through a recordset using these methods will depend what kind of cursor the recordset was opened with, for example you can't call MoveFirst or MovePrevious if your recordset is using a forward only cursor. ...Show All

• Visual C# Auto-coded events vs. Manually coded events

  In my C# app, I have made a static class named Validator to do my validation for me, since all my fields are validated for length, alpha-only, numeric-only, or alpha-numeric only. For example, all my required fields should use Validator.CheckLength, which has the necesary parameters. Now, if I click the control, go to the events in the properties sidebar, and put in Validator.CheckLength under the Validating event, it says I have an "invalid identifier," which, I imagine, arises from the function not being in the control's parent class. However, if I go in to the designer code and set: this.textbx.Validating += new System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs(Validator.CheckLength); Everything works just fine, although it doesn't ...Show All
