• Visual Basic Simple Bound Textbox Can't Retain Empty String

  I have some simple bound textboxes on a windows form. My dataset has parent and child tables. Some of the textboxes are bound to the parent data and others to the child data. When any child bound textbox loses focus after I've cleared its text it returns to its original value. For example, if I want to edit a child bound textbox value from being "test" to "" as soon as I leave the field it returns back to "test". I can add or remove part of the text without a problem such as "test1", but once I completely clear it, it returns back to original. I want to be able to clear the textbox so that I can save an empty value if need be. I have found a workaround solution at the following web site, http://w ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Get Latest Version from Source Control Explorer doesn't retrieve files

  After invoking Get Latest Version on a directory from Source Control Explorer you are informed that files has been retrieved. You can see that you have latest version in current workspace. In fact there are no files on hard drive and when you open a solution wiles are retrieved again. You have to run Get Specific Version and force file retrieval. Is it normal behavior Marcin Hello, Were these files removed manually from the hard drive In that case - yes, this is normal behavior. TFS keeps track of files' versions so it won't download files again if it "thinks" that they are already on the disk (you need force flag then). ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Ribbon element(button) key binding.

  Hello. I created new Ribbon Tab. With buttons on it. Now i want to bind key combination to it like Ctrl+F12 For example. So when i press this key combination button will get preesed. I would appriciate any help. (Ribbon tab is created using xml file and inserting it inside word document) Thanks. It's not possible to assign KeyBindings to procedures that are not part of a VBA project. Or, to put it another way, you can't assign keyboard shortcuts to code in a DLL, whether it's a COM Add-in or a VSTO document project. What you can do is assign a KeyTip. In Office 12, when the user presses the ALT key, letters appear next to each "button" in the Ribbon. After the users presses that key, all the ...Show All

• Windows Forms Updating project without changing DB

  Please excuse me if this is a silly question but this is my first project with VB (VS 2005 Express Edition). The application uses SQL Server 2005 Express. Soon, I will be in a position to take a large amount of data from the end user of the project and put it into the database then deploy the application to his machine. This will be a long process as there is some data in spreadsheets and lots of data on the backs of envelopes etc! At this point he will begin to use the application and add/modify data on a regular basis. However, after a few weeks, he will return to me and say "Can you change this part There's a bug in that part etc." How can I then update the application and re-install it on his machine and mai ...Show All

• Visual C++ trying to use localtime.....

  Hello...I'm trying to have it display the local time of the users location.....It's weird that TickCount is in Environment:: .. but LocalTime is not. How do you get it to get the local time ! Thanks. GetLocalTime returns a void you cannot initialize a string with that and you cannot pass an unintialized pointer to GetLocalTime - well you can, but... Use this instead: SYSTEMTIME st; GetLocalTime(&st); System::String^ s = System::String::Format( "{0}.{1}.{2} {3}:{4}:{5}" ,st.wDay, st.wMonth, st.wYear, st.wHour, st.wMinute, st.wSecond); System::Console::WriteLine(s); -- SvenC ...Show All

• Windows Forms Windows does not recongize that i just insatlled a new program.

  I'm writing up a setup application, and when I install the exe file, Windows does not reconginze that I just installed a new program. Do I need to create a registry file If I do, does anyone know how to create one and what do I need to put in there in order for Windows to reconginze that a new program has been installed. Thanks, Brandon well yes of course, if you wrote the program yourself you have to do everything the way an installer does so Windows can register the new program you have installed - just copying files from one place to another is not an installation - its just a file copy. You will have to find out what registry keys, files etc... are used in order to notify Windows of an installation of a program. I wo ...Show All

• Visual C# convert some old C++ into C# code

  I am trying to redo a program that was originaly done with C/C++. The abilities of C# means that we can do the same thing more elequently and without as many outside commercial programs. The problem is that I do need to use one commercial program and I am trying to figure out how to call it. I have found the code that the old programmer used to execute the other program. I am trying to figure out how to translate that into C# code. I found the following code snippet on MSDN, so I know that the original programmer did it by the book, but I don't know how to do the same thing in C#. Here is the code: #include <windows.h> #include <stdio.h> void f () { STARTUPINFOA si; PROCESS_INFORMATION pi; ZeroMemory( &si, s ...Show All
