• Windows Forms DataGridView extra Value

  Hi, In one of my applications, I would like to retrieve a nummeric value from my database, but display a string-value (retrieved by using some enumeration) in my DataGridView. In addition to that, when I sort my colums, I'm looking for a solution that will sort on the int-value, and not the string-value. Does someone has a idea on how to achieve this A common approach is to add a column to the data table after it comes back from the database, then iterate over the rows manipulating the data you want. This requires that you manipulate the data view grid's columns collection to map to your column instead of the source (set the DataPropertyName of the column to a different name) HTH ...Show All

• Visual C++ Why breakpoints have been disabled ?

  Normally I know how to set breakpoints and use breakpoints.I got a VC++ sample code from disk.When I set breakpoints and debug it,it show the following messages:One or more breakpoints cannot be set and have been disabled and the application will stop at the beginning of the program.Please tell me how to solve this problem .     Thank you very much for your answer! Thanks - I finally managed to work it out - it was because the pdb file was not being created. After a lot of trial and error, I finally found the switch in the project settings that controlled this (Project -> Settings -> GenerateDebugInfo). Saurav ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TF14043: An error occurred computing the delta. Not enough storage is available to process this command

  We're attempting to migrate a fairly sizeable SoruceSafe database into a dual-tier TFS server configuration using VSSConverter. After running analyze.exe, VSSConverter Analyze, then half-way through VSSConverter Migrate we start seeing errors in the EventLog. The app-tier server had been running for about 3 weeks, so we've restarted it and are starting a fresh VSSConverter Migrate. Searching for the win32 error "Not enough storage space is available" seems to indicate that it's run out of memory. However this is a Dual Xeon hyper-threaded box with 3.5Gb of memory and plenty of free disk space. The 2.0 Framework machine.config has <processModel autoConfig="true" /> Can you provide any clues as to wha ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WebserviceInput and Enum in interface definition will not bind to properties

  I run into the followinf problem using a webserviceInput that implements an interface for me. The interface has the following prototype: public interface ITripApproval { ApprovalStatus ApproveTrip( string from, string to, int cost, TimeSpan duration, TripReason reason); void VoteTrip( string tripid, ApprovalStatus status); ApprovalStatus GetTripApprovalStatus( string tripid); } Now when I want to bind the ApproveTrip method to a webserviceInput activity I will see that it will let me bind the properties for the parameters from, to, cost and duration but the TripReason property will give me an dropdown box where I need to select the value from the enumeration. Now I don't want that parameter to get a fix ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Creating an instance of class with classname stored in array

  hi all, I have developed an application in which i am storing the interface name and class name in the string array.Depending upon whether it is a class or interface,i want to get the Type so that i could use the class and instantiate it.How could i achieve this.Any help would be appreciated. Regards, spshah This is a bit off topic for the WPF forum, but, you can dynamically load a dll ( Assembly ) using Assembly.Load (...). If the problem is that these assemblies and their references can't be resolved by the runtime, you can hook the AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyResolve event, manually determine the location of the referenced assembly, then load and return it using something li ...Show All

• .NET Development Localizable WinForms & slow rendering (VS2005)

  I've a form containing a few usercontrols (infragistics, ...). Since I made the usercontrols localizable the form takes 3 seconds to show up. Is it possible to limit the number of localizable properties By hacking the designer for instance. Or any other way in order to improve the performance. Thanks. You should use a profiler to see why the form is slow. It could be because the framework cannot find the resource assembly for your language. You could see if this is happenning using fuslogvw.exe. ...Show All

• Windows Forms C# applet displays broken image

  Hi All, I created a simple applet in C# and displayed it in an html page. It worked fine on one server but when I deployed it to a testing server the applet displayed as a broken image in my web browser. The servers have slight configuration differences but they are rather similar. I have read several posts and could not resolve the issue. Does anyone out there have any idea what to look for Thanks To solve my problem I had to go into IIS. The folder that holds the dll must be changed to an application. Then in properties, click configuration, click add, browse to a dll called aspnet_isapi.dll, add the extension .dll, select all verbs, and click OK. This solved my applet issue. ...Show All

You can use the TableAdapter.Update method to update (edit) records in a database. The TableAdapter.Update method provides several overloads that perform different operations depending on the parameters passed in. It is important to understand the results of calling these different method signatures. How to: Update Records in a Database. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib ...Show All

• Windows Forms Regarding Wrapper clasess

  hi, In my application i am using some unmanaged code to do CUT, COPY and PASTE operations. Example of those codes are public const int EM_CUT = 0x300; public const int EM_COPY = 0x301; public const int EM_PASTE = 0x302; and send these using SendMessage(). I have heard about Wrapper classes and found out that these are used to call umnanaged code from managed code. What does this mean Could some one explain If i have to create one i would love to implement one in my application. No it's not something you have to do. A wrapper class would simply encapsulate the ugly details of calling the native code, and expose an interface more friendly to managed code clients. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions exist any putpixel function???

But to get any kind of speed in a drawing application you need to work with a screen compatible memory device context.

Then use fast hardware accelerated bitblit like functions to copy from the memory bitmap ...Show All
