• Smart Device Development How to get clipboard data?

• SQL Server SQLCE team: Call to Get___ methods entail boxing?

  Greetings - It appears in tests that the calls to the type specific Get___ [e.g. GetInt32()]  methods of the System.Data.SqlCeClient.SqlCeResultSet type result in an internal unboxing from some internal storage of values. I've been calling these methods diligently to avoid the boxing tax... Can you confirm this behavior If this is the case, will you be improving the internals or would it be better for me to wrap the native interface myself to avoid this -rory As Brian pointed out, we've moved from assembly to C, from C to C++ and from C++ to managed code for reasons far from code performance improvements, quite the opposite in fact. However, these languages are not gone. If you your ...Show All

• .NET Development Try refreshing the table adapter

  It is my understanding that when using a TableAdapter and selecting the proper options, Insert, Delete and Update statements are generated. The Update statement should work just using the following: myTableAdapter.Update(changes); Where changes is the DataSet containing the modified data. This logic works great for one of the tables in the DB but not for another. Learning this new stuff is Confusing at best - Frustrating at worst. Help appreciated, Michael Try this, it worked to me: Go to edit dataset with designer (you can go there from the "Data" menu then "show data sources" and "Edit dataset with designer". Right click the adapter and select "Configure&quo ...Show All

• Smart Device Development problem in deploying the application on device

  Hi All, I've developed a windows mobile 5.0 application for smartphone in C# and created a CAB file. And I bought a Motorola Q device which has windows mobile 5.0 in it. I was able to deploy the .cab successfully, but when i try to run the application, its saying "Application requires a newer version of .Net compact framework".

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Vista Beta 2 IIS7 setup

  I've just upgraded to the new Vista Beta 2 build 5384 and am unable to get any of the WCF samples provided with the SDK to run.  I'm pretty sure it's just an IIS7 setup issue. From reading around i've seen a few sites recommending that i add a MIME type mapping for the .svc file... but i cant' work out how to do that.  This ( http://www.iis.net/default.aspx tabid=2&subtabid=25&i=1032) suggests that there should be a MIME Types item in the list of things i can configure for the default web site in inetmgr ... but it's not there Here's what i have done so far.

• Windows Forms Microsoft release policy

  This is the error, which makes me cry. Everytime i work with datagridview, it makes this error in time. I remove every problematic Columns, but it doesnt work. It seems that designer sees something that no longer exists . For instance iDKontaDataGridViewTextBoxColumn was removed from the designer part of the class. ANd designer still says, that it is there. What may be the sollution of this I would like to continue my work without removing whole tab pages of my forms. Please help. Tnanx for every help. The .resx file can be kind of misleading. It defaults the filter to Images, and unless you've got any buttons with images on them you won't see anything initially in the .resx file. Make sure you change the Filter from "Images ...Show All

• SQL Server Drill through works eradically

  I've got a report that drills through to itself, passing different parameters when drilling through. The report work flawlessly in development, flawlessly when you call the report server directly via url, but doesn't always drill through correctly when the report is called using the report viewer on web site. I've gone as far as to create a single aspx page web site that only has this report on it and it still doesn't work. The drill through works about 1/2 of the time when viewing through the report viewer. But the other half of the time it takes you back to a previously visited parameter, instead of the parameter you clicked on. So a series of clicks might work like this: Parameter Clicked - Resultant page A - Correct "A ...Show All

• Visual Studio Retrieving "active" data connections

  Greetings everyone (or anyone), I am writing a little add-in and I am trying to figure out how to do something that I think should be simple: I want to retrieve the connections that are listed in the "Data Connections" in the Server Explorer. I can obviously access the UIHierarchy but what I really want is actually the connection(s) itself or the representation for the connection(s). Say the user has already defined a couple of data connections, I would like to get them and have access to the properties of the connection such as the connection string, and then access the field properties (isIdentity, etc). Essentially imagine that I am writing a custom properties form that shows the same information that the "Dat ...Show All
