• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) GridViewColumn Limitation

  I have a problem with GridViewColumn when using CellTemplateSelector. The solution, I believe, is to allow a "DataContext" property on GridViewColumn. But first, the problem... I have a data aquisition application in which I want to define two (only) templates related to quality control: one for "good" data and one for "bad" data. Unfortunately the template must also supply the data binding path, meaning that I have to have copies of the templates for every piece of data that I might want to display. This defeats the purpose of a template as far as I am concerned because it conserves no effort. To illustrate the problem I have concocted the XAML file below. My application doesn't use XML data, but this was the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Editing an existing connectionstring with the DataConnectionDialog at runtime

  Can anyone tell me if it is possible to edit an existing connectionstring with the DataConnectionDialog at runtime in my own winform application I can create a new one at runtime in my own winform application using the following code: Microsoft.Data.ConnectionUI. DataConnectionDialog dcd = new Microsoft.Data.ConnectionUI. DataConnectionDialog (); Microsoft.Data.ConnectionUI. DataSource .AddStandardDataSources(dcd); Microsoft.Data.ConnectionUI. DataConnectionDialog .Show(dcd); Once I have created one, I would like to be able to use the same dialog to edit it by feeding it the existing connectionstring information (the equivalent of the PromptEdit method of the MSDASC.DataLinks object). Any help would be much appreciate ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Filtering a database between two dates using MonthCalendars

  Hi. I need my application to filter the contents of its database between two specific dates, as selected on 'From' and 'To' MonthCalendars, but my newbieness won't let me.

• SQL Server SQL Server Agent Jobs

  Hi, I'm new to this area so hope someone can help: 1) Does SQL Server agent jobs support executing windows script files (.wsf) I tried running using an Operating System Command (CmdExec) but nothing happened: wscript c:\file.wsf 2) The windows script file is located on the Web Server.

• Visual C# Need help with .Split()

  I've actually got two situations with this method. The first is with the .Split command. It works with the majority of the names it's passed but a few are not being processed correctly. For instance, the majority of the name fields entering this routine look like this: Holt, James; however, a few look like this: Harden, Jr.,James, which the .Split doesn't process. I've tried several configurations, {' ', ',', '.'} for example and still nothing. The configuration shown below is the last attempt. The second problem I'm encountering is an indexing error. When I click on a name in the Tree, then click on a letter above the name I get this error: "Index was outside the bounds of the array." The tree looks like this when th ...Show All

• Visual C++ Problem with IO

  I tried to copy an existing text file to another new file using StreamReader and StreamWriter. I read using ReadLine() and wrote with WriteLine(ReadLine()). But last it skips about 687 bytes. I had to bring the file poiner back by 687 and re read and rewrite. Is this a bug or anything i missed. ReadLine reads upto and including the carriage return ('\r', '\n', or "\r\n"), if that isn't the last byte/bytes of your file ReadLine will not read it for you and you'll miss the last few bytes of the file. ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Multiple web parts on a tabcard?

  Hi all, I have a requirement where I would like to be able to host multiple web parts in a single part of the screen by using, for example, some kind of tabcard system where one web part can be displayed at a time. Clicking on a different tab would of course display a different web part. Has anybody done something similar to this or can anyone think of a way to simulate this type of behaviour My undertsanding is that by default a web part zone can only display multiple web parts in a horizontal or vertical orientation. If anyone is aware of a third party web part that can host multiple web parts in this manner I'd be interested to hear about that too. Depending on how complex the web parts are ( ...Show All

• Visual Basic populating an Access database using visual basic 2005

  I am trying to create a new employee application that gets input from a user in text boxes and then take that information and populate a database in Access that will later be pulled to the Track IT! database on SQLserver2005. How do i do it Thank you. there are a few ways of doing this but the easiest way probably would be to use a datagridview and dataAdapters. the datagridview is a control which allows you to databind values to it, and you can view/delete/edit/add records to the control (similar type of layout as when you view a Table in MS Access) using a DataAdapter allows you to easily "fill" a dataset with the query given and being able to allow you to also update the datasource (database). ...Show All

• SQL Server Visual Studio 2005 - "Generate Create Script" for SQL 2000 stored procedure

  Hello. I have noticed that "Generate Create Script" feature changed in VS 2005 (compared to 2003). In VS 2003 this feature was displaying dialog window where I could choose some options on what to include in script and where to place it. In VS 2005 this feature just creates SQL script in "Create Scripts" folder, without any intermediate dialog, and now it uses sp_executesql procedure in a script. Is there any way to change this behaviour (back to what it used to be in VS 2003) Thanks Iouri A little late to this particular party, but I also agree that the scripting feature (including that in SQL Management Studio) is useless. When I script to a new query window, I have to remov ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. IndexOutOfRange Exception when using KeyboardState.IsKeyDown(Keys.Alt)

  Hellooo... I'm playing around with XNA and i find it pretty cool so first of all: great job guys... but i think i ran in troubles with using KeyboardState.IsKeyDown(Keys.Alt) in my code. Everytime i tried IsKeyDown with the ALT key an IndexOutOfRange Exception was thrown. I haven't posted a Bug Report for now cause i don't know if it is a bug or just me noob ... so anyone other has a problem You can access the alt key like so: bool altDown = keyboardState.IsKeyDown( Keys.Menu ); The control and shift keys have slightly more intuitive enum entries for them, under ControlKey and ShiftKey, respectively. (The explanation is as follows. The key codes in use are the same as the VK_* defines that Win32 uses. The ...Show All
