• Windows Forms How to make a Control inherit the Form backcolor or properties (i.e. font etc)

  Hi folks, I would like to know if anyone knows how to make a Custom control inherits the form,upon which it gets dropped, properties like the backcolor, font etc.... By inherits I means will have its own property assign with the current value of the form property. e.g. Control.Font = Form.Font; Also, I want to have the control set up its property at construction time (when the control get constructed - so that it has the same backcolor (in this case ) then the form) Cheers. Seve Cheers nobugz for the quick response. However, in my case it does not do that (Could be because I have created a design surface for my custom control). But even if it was doing that, this will not be the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Creating a generic SQL function for Select, Insert, Update, Delete etc (Code reuse)

  Hi I'm writing a small Finance application using Visual Basic Express and Access and although new to VB am finding it fairly straight forward. I have a question that I hope will be fairly easy to answer as most programmers must come up against the same thing. I've no problem with displaying data from a table, but, I routinely need to add single records or retrieve single records (e.g. customer record) and find that I have to copy & paste the same code each time. Say you have forms to add customer, add supplier etc. I'm copying the code to insert the record and simply modifying the SQL INSERT command each time. Surely this isn't efficient and code re-use is the answer I'm ideally looking to create a generic function within VB w ...Show All

• Visual C++ std::vector::resize bug

  This is the declaration for the second form of std::vector::resize (in VC 2005): void resize( size_type _Newsize , Type _Val ); Note it passes by value, not by const reference. This is different to every other function in std::vector, and means you cannot construct a vector of items marked with __declspec( align( n ) ). I modified the vector header to use a const reference instead and it seems to work fine now. The Intel C Compiler does not seem to have this problem, and I've just checked the GCC header and it passes by const reference. I can't really see any reason why you'd want to pass by value, so I'm presuming this really is a bug. Does anyone in MS read these forums cfp Well you don ...Show All

• SQL Server Duplicate Foreign keys.

  Hi all, SQL server allows to create as many as foreign key constraints on a same table for a same column. Will this affect the design or performance in anyway Naming the constraint would be a good way to avoid this.But in case if someone has already created, How do I remove the existing duplicate keys ====================== For Example , I have 2 tables Author and Book. I could execute the below query n times and create as many as foreign keys I want. ALTER TABLE Books ADD FOREIGN KEY (AuthorID) REFERENCES Authors (AuthorID) ====================== Thanks is advance, DBAnalyst this may affect the performance. foreign keys shud be named..eg ALTER TABLE Books with noche ...Show All

• Visual Studio Model Namespace

  Hello, is there a default 'value' of a domain model that i can access from within my T4 templates if i need a decent namespace I guess i am searching for a namespace that is build from the folder hierarchy. Just like when a new class file is added to a project; The namespace in that file is updated according to the folder branche the file lives in. I hope such a default value exists somewhere in the depths of domain models (or maybe the template architecture itself). I really dislike accessing ProjectItems to get such a value in the design i am currently implementing. Thanks in advance, Peter Vrenken Peter, I am not sure about the scenario you are dealing with here so my suggestion might not be useful at all but let's give it ...Show All

• Visual Basic Client certificate from within a services

• Visual Studio For the Context-Sensitive help, why do we have to "highlight" the word?

  I used to use Visual Stuio 6 in the last century... Seriously. I put the cursor in one keyword, and press F1. Pui, I get the MSDN help document. Now, I installed the VS 2005, and found that doesn't work any more. It takes me 1 hour to figure out that I have to HIGHLIGHT the keyword, and most of time I can't get the right document.

• Visual Studio Express Editions VC 2005 - .NET v1

  Hello, is the following possible: I made a program with Visual C++ 8. I recently heard it has to be deployed on PC's which only have .NET v1 installed. Apparently, installing .NET v2 isn't possible. Is it possible to compile the (windows Forms) project as a .NET v1 version Thanks! If you compile an application which uses .Net v2, it "should" be backward compatable with machines that only have .net v1, providing your code does not use any interfaces specific to .Net v2. Please see the following pages for some more information on backward compatability: http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/06/03/CLRInsideOut/ http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/changeinfo/ ...Show All

• SQL Server To modify a menu

  Hello, I need to add a link in the top menu of the pages, How can I do this Thx in advance. If you mean the Report Manager then you can't do this. The front end is not designed to be customizable. You can hack the CSS file to change the colour scheme and that's about it. If you mean in a report then you can't alter the default toolbars that are generated by reporting services either. You'll have to add the link to the header section of the report. The other option is to write a simple wrapper page with whatever content you like on it and use a reportviewer control to display the report. ...Show All

• SQL Server getting a table from another database into sql server

  Hi everyone: There is a table in a visual fox pro database that I need to use in an application I am building. I am using sql server 2000 as my database to house my data. I was wondering if there was a way to pull the data from foxpro into sql server and have it update the sql server database whenever changes are made to the foxpro database I believe you could use a merge join on the fox pro table and the destination table. Set to full outer join with a conditional split to send rows with null (unmatched) rows to the destination and the others (matched) to the trashbin. Basically a poor man's CDC.

• Visual Studio Team System Changing theme on WSS loses CSS styles

  There seems to be a problem with the Project Portal if you change the SharePoint site theme to one of the listed, decide you don't like it and try to go back to the default one - only it isn't the default one that the Team Project was using when the portal was created. Reviewing the source file for the main portal page a CSS class of ms-vstsbanner is defined for the background of the header and is defined as follows: { background-image: url(header-bg.jpg); background-color: #C8D5ED; background-repeat: no-repeat; } However this is only in the agil1011-109.css file which is not one of the listed themes for the SharePoint site. I am concerned that other styles may be missing too. The source of the main portal page for a project ...Show All

• SQL Server how to do this in SSIS? soory if i m a noob

  Hi all, Am trying to setup a SSIS package between a sql2000, sql2005 source and a sql2005 destination.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. MS should ask the community to work on features for xna!!!

  MS i really think you should use the knowledge of the community to help create features for XNA. If MS asks the community to work on specific area, or feature and to send there program to MS, MS could skip alot of the programing work, and just certify and expand upon the ideas of the community. Hell look what the xbox community did will all of the xbox live featuers.
