• Windows Forms Disable horizontal scrollbar in listview control

  I want to always disable the horizontal scrollbar in the listview control. I think I will have to do this with a windows api call but I'm unclear as to the actual call. Any help Thanks, Rick I remember I once responded to a thread with the exact same question. I think the solution was to change the ListView View property to LargeIcon - this would prevent the horizontal scroll bar from appearing. I also tried using API call's to hide the scrollbar when it was on a different View property but that did not seem to work. does this help you at all ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Organizing IE7 Toolbars

  What a Horrible experience has been using IE7. First I can't put more bars in the same row as the address bar So I get a incredibly big address bar and loose a lot of screen. Other problem is that toolbars dont stay in the place you put them. They keep moving even if you lock the toolbars. Is this a Primary BUG at IE7 Is there anyway to make IE 7 as useful as IE6 and customize bars the way I want and not the way the developers wanted Thank you in advance for solutions.... I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND WOULD VERY MUCH WANT MICROSOFT SHOULD FIX IT BY A PATCH IN WINDOWS UPDATE OR SOME OTHER WAY THANKS DAVID ...Show All

• .NET Development Updating Adds the same record to all rows in the Database instead of just one?

  Hello. I'm trying to update a single record in a database to add new data, but when I hit my update button and the event runs, it adds that record to ever record in the database overwriting the current data in the database. I'm not sure how to work around this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Yes, you are on the right track. I'm guessing that error is b/c you haven't specificed your InsertCommand object yet. Change it to read: AddressAdapter.InsertCommand = new SqlCommand(""INSERT INTO addresses(firstname, lastname," & _ "phone, address1, address2, city, state, zip)" & _ "VALUES ('" & txtFirstName.Text & "'," & _ "'" ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Problem with DBNull values on form

  I am encountering a problem with a form comprised of several textboxes, comboboxes, and pictureboxes. I have a save button that when you click it, it saves the new record to the underlying datatable. However, the record will only save if every textbox, combobox, and picturebox has been given data (in other words, is not null - or DBNull). My problem is, not every record will necessarily need every control to have a value. In my dataset, all the controls allow DBNull values and for every textbox I have changed the NullValue property to "Nothing" as opposed to "Throw Exception". However, it will not let me do that for a textbox that is bound to a Double data type, a textbox that is bound to a DateTime data type, and for t ...Show All

• SQL Server lookup task running very slow when deal w/big tables

  I try to convert a Procedure that join 8 tables with INNER AND OUTER JOIN, my understanding is that the Lookup task is the one to use and I should break these joins into smaller block, it takes a long time to load when I do this, since each of these tables had 10-40mill. rows and I have 8 tables to go thru, currently this Stored Procedure took 3-4min to run, by converting this to 8 Lookup tasks, it ran for 20min. has anyone run into this issue before and know a work around for this. Thanks Are you aware of the different caching types of the Lookup Tranformation by default the lookup caches the whole data set from your lookup table/query; if you are not using a query to limit the number of columns/rows ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WCF Web Service hangs on response above a given byte size

  I basically have a map service that returns a byte array of a map image. If the image size is around 32K or less everything works fine. If the image size gets above that the client simply hangs - and eventually times out - waiting for a response. On the service side it looks like everything runs ok (it gets past the return statement). To be complete, I was originally *always* getting an error that the response was too large for the XML reader (or something like that). I fixed this by adjusting the <readerQuotas maxArrayLength="1024000" /> attribute. Thanks for any help. -Abe I tracked this down to an issue with a SharpMap map object stored in the session. But beyond that I still don't know ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Svcutil XmlSerializer Mistery

  We have a WCF-enabled COM+ application. When svcusitl is run with no parameters other then URL, e.g: svcutil HTTP://CTXWHDEVETSNG1:4999/X/CORPTaxETS_2007/LYWEnterprise.EnterpriseManagerMultiYear.2007/mex the resulting proxy contains [System.ServiceModel.XmlSerializerFormatAttribute()], and Request/Response classes are created for some COM objects but not for others.

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums DBGrid and MSFlexGrid not working in VBA
