• Windows Forms StatusStrip - SizingGrip problem

  Hi I've added a StatusStrip control to a form. Within this I added a ToolStripProgressBar , and set it's Alignment to "Right". Now I have the progress bar next to the SizingGrip. If I now set "SizingGrip = False", the sizing grip is removed, but there still is an empty area left. I now have an ugly space between the progress bar and form border. How do I get rid of this area Kind Regards If I set the RightToLeft to true, I get the empty area to the left (where I have a Label control). So it RightToLeft does not solve the problem. If you turn on 1. RightToLeft = False (StatusStrip) 2. SizingGrip = False (StatusStrip) 3. LayoutStyle = HorizontalStackWithOverflow (StatusStrip) 4. ...Show All

• SQL Server Earlier question on ODBC compatibility

  Hi Chris: I am sure as you are aware only data adpaters in SQL 2005 out of the box are .NET Frameworks, in your answer to Stoobs, you state the ADO.Net framework does not have all the APIs.

Unfortunately we have a legacy MUMPs DB (that KBSQLODBC layer sits on top of, its a flavor of SQL from Knowledge Based systems) that our vendor is not going to update. Given that, how can we address the ODBC driver problem with SQL 2005 Is there going to be an update to ADO.NET Thanks, dfreshman ADO.Net v2.0 hs new APIs to support metadata retrieval. Note that you can transfer data via your existing ODBC driver and the .Net managed provider ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Getting user permissions from a SQL Express database?

  Hi, First of all, good year to everyone. Secondly, is there a way to read the users permissions from the database In my app there are areas who are to be only visible to admins, the rest of the users shouldn't see them. I wanted to avoid creating a table for keeping the users and their permissions. Is there a function in C# that allows for such a thing Cheers, Tiago Hi Figo Mei, thanks for your reply. In SQL Express you assign users to different roles or permissions. Basically I have users that can read the data in the DB and I have users who can read AND write (who are the "system" admins). I wanted to know if there was a way that when you create the Connection (using OleDB, SQL native or wh ...Show All
