• Windows Forms Problem with DataGridView

  Dear Friends, I have an anoying problem with the .net 2.0 DataGridView. I am Using a normal DataGridView and have added 3 columns. I am binding the datagridsource to a arraylist with consists of a list of my own business objects (with Properties). So far so good, the grid displays the list, but the stupid thing is, that the first row (index = 0) is always selected. I tried to use ClearSelection, but it doesnt work. I debugged the thing and it seems, that after I set the datasource, nothing in the list is selected. this.dataGridView.DataSource = MyList; this.dataGridView.ClearSelection(); If i use ClearSelection after the GUI is shown (eg. when i click a Button), it works. Buts thats no clean solution (or is it Microsoft ) your franz ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do I set my own browser to a different home page?

  Is the above in the registry, or can you just change the URL Property on the WebBrowser control If the question you are asking is how to change the first startpage showing up in a WebBrowser control: that's by setting the Url property. I created a WinForms application, dropped a WebBrowser control on it, set the Url property to http://bloggingabout.net/blogs/rick and started the application. First thing to show up was my blog ...

• Visual Studio Express Editions Save layout

  Hello! How can i save my layout in Form1 I am using VB 2005 Express. Form1 contains about 150 TextBoxes, 50 Labels and 1 Rich TextBox. I want to save the layout as a Word document with Boderstyle around TextBoxes and Labels. Does anyone have a code example Can't get it to work! Grateful for any help. I think your barking up the wrong tree here of have a lot of work to do if you really want to do this. VB allows you to develop applications - word is a word processor. If you want to show you form layout in Word then you can do a screen capture but this is not going to allow you to do any further editing. There is no direct way to send you form layout code to word.

• Community Chat Windows Code Named Vienna

  Can Anyone tell me how compatible it is going to be with previous versions of Windows. Ok perhaps I was too vague, Windows Vienna is the s uccessor of Windows Vista which Microsoft has already begun planning for. It is said to be a "new generation of operating systems". And that Microsoft will "start from scratch" because of the clutter Microsoft Windows currently has. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Query results window is cached ?

  When you run a query, open the result in MS Excel, make changes to the work items, publish them and then run the query again from within VS, you get the same results as before the change and publish from MS Excel. It seems that the query is just not run because there is already an existing results window. How can i make sure that the query runs every time even if there was already a resuls window for that specific query When query is refreshed we do clear the results and run query again. Is this not what you are seeing If you try closing and opening results view, do you see right results If not, pls give me repro steps to try. Thanks ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Schema Crawling Question

  Hey there team, If I wanted to get the names of fields that comprise a key, what's the preferred way of doing that :) I've been crawling around in the MetadataWorkspace, and boy there's a lot there. Might be beneficial to have some sort of post that outlines the big concepts with this namespace... Thanks! Mike You're almost there, there is only one more step: the TypeMetadata for an entity type is actually a subtype called EntityType. So you can cast your TypeMetadata to EntityType. Once you have your EntityType, you can use the KeyMembers member to find out all the keys for a given entity. Pablo Castro ADO.NET Technical Lead Microsoft Corporation ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to get PCI slot information from ACPI

  Hi, I need to get PCI slot info through ACPI using _SUN object. So I want to know how to retrieve the slot info from _SUN object. Can you tell me how to access the _SUN object I have couple of questions related to that: 1) Is there any signature in ROM for that object, so that we can map that and read that structure 2) What is the structure of _SUN object and how to get the handle to that structure 3) IS there any windows API or IOCTL to read the _SUN object Thanks in advance I do not know what a _SUN object is; are you sure it is part of VC and/or VS If it is not, then it is not within the scope of this forum. A computer's ROM is not supported by VC and therefore is definitely ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Erratic behavior when running 2 winforms apps

  Hello All, I am testing a winforms application that will start a thread for a new winforms application and will allow the first application to run tests against the second in WinCE 5.0. If I run two winforms apps at once, it seems to cause erratic behavior. I am using cf 2.0 and at first I tried a console app as the initial application with a winforms app being controlled and that was worse. The test UI app is mimicked closely to James McCaffrey and his testrun501 example: http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/05/01/TestRun/default.aspx This original app worked fine in desktop winforms as that supports the STATHREAD attribute (single thread apartment) which cf 2.0 does not. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Saving JPEG to Data File

  Hi All-- I'm stumped again. I'm writing a program and I need to save jpeg data IN my data file. I want to have a self-contained data file that contains the image data for two jpegs and some other bits of information. My original idea was to use an XML file to save my data. I can't seem to figure out how to save the raw jpeg file data to a file. I can save the pixel color info to a file, but it's pure uncompressed data. The nice thing about the jpeg file is that it's compressed. An uncompressed BMP might be 10MB while a compressed JPEG might only be 100K. I want to save the jpeg data to my data file because I want to keep my data file size as small as possible. Is it possible to save the raw (compressed) jpeg data to a different ...Show All

• SQL Server CSV file as a data source

• SQL Server Installation Issue - Access to path denied on service start

  Hi, I have a generally well working silent installer of SQL Server sp1, that installs a named of SQL Express then runs some create database scripts on it. I have a customer for whom this fails. It appears that the SQL server service does not start. When I tell the client (non-computer literate!) to start it manually through Admin Tools>Service, a message appears saying "Access to the path denied", and seemingly doesn't specify the path of the denial. Has anyone encountered this, or is anyone able to hazard a guess as to the cause of this issue. Many thanks, Chris Hi Jens, Thanks for the response.
