• Windows Forms update app.config with connection string on first install.

  Hello, I have developed an application that will use a sql server on a remote server that is on the LAN. The connection string I currently have in my app.config when the application is deployed will be different. Only the user will know when they install the application for the first time. Is there a method to setup the connection string and update the app.config file when the user install the application for the first time. I am using winforms vb.net 2005 and sql server 2005 Thanks in advance, Steve ...Show All

• .NET Development Suggestion: Overload TryParse to accept defaults

  Hello- Most simple types (bool, int, double, etc) support a static TryParse function that will take a string, and a typed variable to try to parse that string into. It would be handy if there was a second overload of this TryParse function in each case that would also take a default value. Here's how it currently looks: bool foo; if (!bool.TryParse("true", out foo)) foo = true; Here's how it could look: bool foo; bool.TryParse("true", out foo, true); Thanks for the consideration, Eric Hey Stephen- Feeling like a stupid user in action here, but I'd actually tried going there first. I couldn't figure out how to get to a point where I can submit th ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Extracting DVD video

  Hi everyone! I'm trying to write application to work with dvd disks recorded with camcoder. Its quite simple all i want it to do is to save save selected chapter to disk and encode it.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Help Clearing All Textboxes and All Comboboxes

  Greetings: I found this helpful code elsewhere on the forum, but it is only working on the Combo Boxes and not the text boxes on my Form1. Currently I have 4 textboxes and 3 comboboxes on my form.

• Visual C++ Compiler error C2664

  Hi, I'm working in VS 2005 and it's a windows forms application. I've come across a strange error, in what looks like very simple code. I'm simply trying to pass an integer to a function, have that function change it's value, and the value is preserved back in the calling function. Simple. The problem arises when I try to do this passing a member variable of a managed class. Here is my code: namespace BoxWorldSolverC { public ref class frmMain : public System::Windows::Forms::Form { // Data members private : int m_iMapWidth; int m_iMapHeight; ... Further down in same .h header, i.e. same class declaration... private : System::Void test( int &myInt) { myInt++; } ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL2005 Stored procedures don't execute after attach database

  While doing maintenance on a development server we detached a database and later reattached it to the same server. For some unknown reason web services execute but return no results. There are no errors reported in event viewer. I connected to the database in Visual Studio 2005 and attempted to execute a simple select statement but it returns no row. It appears to execute the stored procedure but does not return any data. I have cut and pasted the select statement into a View which does execute. Lastly I just created a new store procedure to test the database and it also does not return any rows. This is all very strange. Could use a few suggestions at this point.

• Visual Studio ElementAdded event not firing

  I'm trying to capture the ElementAdded event in a VB project. My add-in works if the project is a Windows application, but if the project is a class library, my event handler never gets called. I downloaded some sample extensibility projects from Microsoft, one of which was called EventWatcher, which handled a number of events, and wrote to the Output window when they fired. I observed the same behavior with this add-in, which suggests to me that the problem is not my add-in code. Is this likely to be something in my VS configuration Intended behavior Bug Thanks. Well, if anybody's interested, Microsoft responded to my bug comment, saying that this was by design. Their comment was: "In order to ...Show All
