• Windows Forms DisplayIndex of the DataGridView not properly working

  Hello, I am using a DataGridView control on my form (VB net language: I don't know if the issue exists in C#...) and I allow the user to re-order the columns. On the FormClosing event, the DisplayIndex of the columns is retrieved and saved for the user. So far, so good. My problem is when I try to obtain the DisplayIndex while the form is activated, the returned information is not correct; In other words, although the user moves the columns around, the DisplayIndex of the columns remain unchanged until the form is deactivated. It keeps the original ordering.... Is this a bug or am I missing something Thanks for any feedback, I really need to know... Hello Ken, Unfortunate ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Office 2007 - Interop - Excel

  Hi specialists, I 'm trying to create a graph in Excel 2007 using Office interop in Visual Studio. The intention is that I create the Graph .. save it as a Jpg and then show it in Visual studio.

• SQL Server reading partitions when a dimension is being queried

  Hi, something I am not able to understand, I have a dimension which contains about half a million records and about 25 attributes, no hierarchies and all attributes are related to the key (have to change this). The dimension key is pointing to a fact table which is partitioned with one partition per day in the cube. in BI studio browser, if I drag and drop only one attribute of the dimension to the row field, and check the profiler it displays the following: MDSCHEMA_SETS: <RestrictionList xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis"> <CUBE_NAME>abccube</CUBE_NAME> <CUBE_SOURCE>3</CUBE_SOURCE> </RestrictionList> MDXQUERY: Drop visual totals for [abccube] MDXQUE ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System merge /discard command problem

  Hi, We have two branches "main" and "prod" in TFS. I have a question on running merge command after "merge /discard" operation.

• .NET Development NetworkStream.Flush() disabled at NET 2?

  Hi! My program sends more than one msg at a time, and I wanted to avoid the reciever to recieve it as one msg, eg: server.send("123"); server.send("abc"); the reciever would get "123abc".           <<<<<---- not wanted ! I tried to use Flush() but it seem not to be working, plus, in the function description it's says something like "This method is reserver for future use."...... Any suggestions good people I got a case where multiple clients may write on the same connection (like if clientA writes to the connection, ClientB as well as the server will receive the data). In this case we use CRC to check for message integrity but it seems I have an issue ...Show All

• Visual Basic try,catch, end try problem

  Since 2002 I've been using try, catch, end try just like all of you have.  I have many completed projects where it worked fine. Right now I've been reading a book of generics and started an example.  For the first time, I typed try, pressed enter and got the usual Try Catch ex As Exception End Try The problem is Exception is underlined and says a type is expected.  If I substitute a particular exception it works fine, but Exception itself demands a type. I opened up an old project and Exception wasn't underlined.  Below the block I type try pressed enter and Exception was accepted. Just as a test in the new example project I added a new windows form.  Here's the code Public Class ...Show All

• Visual C# "PInvokeStackImbalance was detected" error when opening Crystal Report Viewer

  Hi, I am trying to load a crystal report using c#. My form has the CrystalReportViewer control on it. When the form is loaded, i get the following error: PInvokeStackImbalance was detected Message: A call to PInvoke function 'CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms!CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms. :: b' has unbalanced the stack. This is likely because the managed PInvoke signature does not match the unmanaged target signature. Check that the calling convention and parameters of the PInvoke signature match the target unmanaged signature. It occurs in the InitializeComponent method, on this line: this.crystalReportViewer = new CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer(); Any ideas on how to fix this error ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums VBA Outlook - File Stream issues

  I am trying to write a script triggered from an Outlook email to parse the email (as a text file) and then update an excel spreadsheet with specific data extracted from the email. The email is a form email delineated by a "/" for field breaks and "//" for end of line. However, when I create a text stream to read in the data, the returned string does not include these delineations. Here is a copy of the code I am currently using to open and read the file. I don't want to open the entire email as a new workbook, so I can't use the workbook function.

• Visual C# Debugging a multithreaded app

  Hello all I have an app which is divided into two main components which are decoupled from one another by the use of an event mechanism. The only way the two components communicate with one another is by firing and responding to events (one component is consistently the caller, the other is consistently the callee). You can find more background on this particular app's issues in this post but some of that information is now outdated. Basically I have a static object in the caller component which fires an event to the callee component which results in the callee loading a component in a COM DLL via an RCW assembly. Originally, the COM DLL was not being properly released at the end of execution but after moving the 'unloading' code up into t ...Show All
