• Visual Basic Show Forms inside a SplitContainer

  Hi, I think this might sound weird, but I’m working with new VS2005 Pro controls. I have a SplitContainer and I would like to know if there is a way that allows me to show different forms (one at the time) inside my SplitContainer right panel. My SplitContainer is on a MDI form and instead of showing the form above the SplitContainer, it would be nicer to have it inside the SplitContainer panel. is it possible any hint Thanks in advance George Hi Dalej, Thanks for your answer, but I got an exception saying that a top level control cannot be added to a control, this is the code: Private Sub MainScreenX_Load( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ...Show All

• SQL Server How to get job history/error info. from a custom .exe being run by the job?

  How to get job history/error info. from a custom .exe being run by the job We're using SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server Agent to run some jobs. These jobs execute a custom .exe program (written in C#). What we're wondering is, is there any way to send status/history information from the custom .exe back to the job that kicked it off We're trying to provide execution info. to show if the job succeeded or if some error occurred in the .exe (thus the job didn't complete successfully).

• Visual Studio Change a dataset connectionstring at runtime

  Hi, I have two databases having the same objects and an asp .net application that logs to one of them (depends on user login). The problem is the reports connection, because the user can be working in one of the two databases.

• Windows Forms :: I have never succeeded in hiding a property ::

  Here is my situation: I have a control inherited from MaskedTextBox . I added a property called Value . I want the users of this new control to use the Value property and not use the Text property when setting a new value to this control. Therefore my intention is to hide the Text property from external use. I tried making the property Private but that doesn't work. Anyone have an idea Thank you. BlueMikey, your suggestion worked. Thank you !! Alan, I agree, I hate breaking the polymorphosim, but for this case I'll have to, but thanx for the input, I'll keep it in mind  :) ...Show All

• .NET Development Cached variables vs Select command

  Hello All; Is it possible to perform SELECT STATEMENTS using cached variables instead of opening the Db file in every Web page . The SELECT statement requires the connection string at the end of the SELECT statement like the following: adptBoxes = New OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM tblBoxes WHERE BoxID= + '" + _ txtFind.Text + "'", dbConnection) Thanks alot Just an addition. Your code uses concatenation to build SQL statement, and it could lead to SQL injection attack. It is even more dangerous in a Web environment. Use parameterized quesries to avoid it. Do not use concatenation ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How safe is it to inherits one class from XNA's GraphicsComponent?

  Hi, In another thread, somebody gave me a link about GameServices (http://blogs.msdn.com/mitchw/archive/2006/09/06/742955.aspx) and it made think about how to design a renderer inside an engine. Let's say I want the my game to have, as a GameComponent, my own renderer. I want my renderer to offer IGraphicsDeviceService and also offer the same functionality that the GraphicsComponent have without too much work. Can I simply inherits from the GraphicsComponent class Since I have no idea what's going behind the scene, it's hard to have a clear idea if it'll create bugs or not. I did a small test and it seems to work but there is nothing wrong in asking. :P Louis Inheriting from ...Show All
