• Windows Forms CallBack in GridView

  Hello: I am in the process of extending GridView and adding some functionalities. For example, I added a single row click to postback and handle the event. I would like now to be able to do a CallBack instead of PostBack. Do you know if there is a whitepaper on how that CallBack functionality is added to the Grid currently through sorting and paging I believe it is better to follow the same technique used. I have been trying for some time, im getting all the needed methods and functions, and I have added for example: Grid1.EditIndex = e.GridViewRow.RowIndex; inside the handler of the sinlge click which is being fired upon a callback, I am doing debugging and I am going to that method, but nothing is changing on the grid. ...Show All

• Visual C# Compare ArrayList

  Hello, I have 2 sorted array lists. e.g.  arrayList1 = a,b,c,d,e,f,h,k,l  and  arrayList2 = a,c,d,f,g,h,i,j ArrayList1 contains the list of strings that are to be compared against.  Unfortunately there are thousands of strings in each.  So I don't know if it would be any good doing something like; does arrayList[0] == arrayList[0]||arrayList[1]||.... (in a loop of course). Another thing, arrayList2 is getting its (distinct) data from a database so I can't really check it against arrayList1 there and then, as it would leave the connection open for longer... I don't know maybe this is an ok trade off I don't suppose there is an efficient arrayList1.compare(arrayList2) method out there   ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Multiple Child table

  What can i do in add button if i have a lot of multiple child table what is the best solution also how to append blank in child table please help me... There is not a best solution because generally child tables do not need an immediate addition of records. If you mean you want to insert a record in child tables whenever you insert a record into parent then you could do that like: insert into myChild1 (foreignKeyField) values (parentPK) insert into myChild2 (foreignKeyField) values (parentPK) Prefer insert into as it does both append blank-replace in a single shot. With Append blank there is a slim chance that someone else could modify the record before you do (unless buffered). ...Show All

• Windows Forms ListBox text alignment w/decimals

  Hello out there. Populating listBox easily with Tostring. However, my decimals do not align neatly. For example: Item name Item Number 100.22 item name2 Item Number2 100.0 Item name3 Item Number3 100 How can I align numbers with two decimal places in a listbox thanks cPrince Yes that should be possible: For more information see this: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0c899ak8.aspx Keep in mind, that you have to use 00 instead of ## at the end, because 00 will always display 2 digits: Example (14.2): ##.## -> 14.2 ##.00 -> 14.20 Could you give an example what you want to achieve, so I could give you better advice :) ...Show All

• Visual C++ Specify directory for CFileDialog

  My on-line documentation for CFileDialog seems to suggest that there are two ways to set the initial directory for the file search. My problem is that neither approach seems to work. For each method, you first create a CFileDialog object and then you make some changes to its m_ofn member before you invoke its DoModal method. One curiosity is that there does not seem to be an m_ofn member, however there is a m_pOFN member which presumably points to the intended structure. OK, so I create a CFileDialog object, fdlg and invoke fdlg.DoModal(). It works as I had hoped. Next, I set (actually a strcpy operation into the existing buffer) fdlg.m_pOFN->lpstrFile = "D:/" and then invoke fdlg.DoModal(). It returns a "CANCEL" co ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to enumerate all project/assembly references in a IVsProject?

  I want to enumerate all project/assembly references in a IVsProject. How can I do it Is there any way to do it without using Extensibility (VSProject.References property) Thank you. The properties you see listed for the individual Reference nodes, are implemented by an IDispatch interface (The VSLangProj.Reference interface), which you could retrieve via the VSHPROPID_ExtObject. The class(es) that implement these reference nodes, typically just call into the base class (very similar to CHierNode::GetProperty). So you can't really pull a lot of useful data from the IVsHierarchy::GetProperty. But the IDispatch interface associated with the node, does have a number of useful properties on it. You co ...Show All
