• Windows Forms searchable combobox problem with datagrid

  i have a datagridview and a combobox. Now i made my combobox so that it's linked to my datagridview. You can type word(s) in the combobox and then it will search in the listitems. But when i click on the result in the combobox it will change the selected field in the datagrid with the result he has found. He has only to look up and not to change someting in my dagatrid. i have made my dagatridview columns readonly and also disabled editing , adding and deleting but it keep changing the value. Hi, Try to set a different bindingContext for the ComboBox,as this .comboBox1.BindingContext = new BindingContext (); This desynchronize the ComboBox and the DataGridView. Hope this helps.Regards. ...Show All

• .NET Development Can a DataSet tell if tables in the SQL database have been updated?

  I've got a client-server app that hooks up to a SQL Server 2000 database. So far everything works well but this application is not the only user of the database. We have an Access front-end that also hooks up to these tables. (The .Net application is replacing another application that goes to the same tables and will eventually also replace the access front-end but that's at least a year off) My server application has a DataSet that mirrors the SQL tables. This way I have local copy of the table data I can work with programatically (and more quickly) and send updates to the SQL tables as necessary. This arrangement works well but I'm concerned about how to tell if the Access front-end has changed any of the SQL tables since I did the Da ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to generate a "services/service" element based on a WSDL using svcutil.exe

  Is it possible to generate service side configuration files based on a WSDL description, using svcutil.exe I have a WSDL that describes a service and I want to create my own implementation of that service. Using svcutil.exe I'm able to create .cs files with the contract (data contract + service contract), however I didn't found a way to create a services/service element with the binding and the address. Pedro, that is right. Neither svcutil.exe nor the internal ServiceModel classes svcutil uses can do this. It was a feature cut for v1 and you need to either hand tweak the config or provide your own code e.g. based on XmlReader/XmlWriter to change the config. Cheers, Christian ...Show All

• SQL Server Support for SQL DTS packages post upgrade to SQL 2005

• Software Development for Windows Vista Invoke another workflow

  Hi, I know it is possible to invoke a workflow from another workflow. But is it possible to invoke a custom Sharepoint Workflow from a "normal" workflow Thanks Thomas Well without really giving it too much thought, you could host a Web Service on the SP server, that you called from your "normal" workflow and this would in turn invoke your your SP workflow Or you could get fancy and look at some remoting / service that runs on your SP server to do the same kind of thing I'm just throwing out random thoughts here though ... ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can i force developers to add comments at check-in ?

  I need developers to add comments at check-in time - probably i will need a custom check-in policy (how do i do that ). I know i can force developers to asociate work items at check-in but in our case it would be much easier if i could force them to add only comments ! 10x Once the DLL is properly registered and the policy class inside the DLL is public, it will appear when in the UI automatically for "Add Checkin Policy", as when that dialog comes up, we scan the list of registered policies. The most common problems I see with this are 1) not registering properly (eraniopub's reply with details is good) and 2) the policy class wasn't public. regular "how to register": http:/ ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Accessing a SQL Server table using sql authentication as opposed to windows authentication

  I have created a pivot table based on a sql server 2005 relational DB connection, with the userid and password stored in the ODC (sql server authentication). The ODC is in the data connection library (DCL) and is approved. I created an Excel sheet with a pivot table based on the ODC.

Hello friend, If you are developing in .net it's pretty easy. -first if you don't want the popup menu to appear, then replace the contextMenu of the control with a blank menu of your own.
