• Windows Forms Changing the databasource of a DataGridViewComboBoxCell at runtime

  Hi, I have a DGV where one of the columns is a combo box style. I bind this combo box to some datasource. What I would ideally like to do it to limit the combo selection to make the items available mutually exclusive to what is in other rows. The net result I guess is I get uniqeness in this column over all rows. Is this possible If so, which event should I use to re-assign the datasource property for the combo Thanks for your help Graham That did it Luc, thank you. Replcaing my underlaying list type with a datatable instead of a BindingList made the Filter come to life. Thanks again. Graham ...Show All

• Visual Studio #Error in ReportViewer

  Hello all I'm working with .net objects as DataSources, and it's working very well in DataGridViews. Now I'm trying to build a Report using the ReportViewer control (VS 2005 Professionnal). The data displayed in the dataGridView is correct, but in the report I've build, I get a "#Error" for some values. In the .rdlc report, I just display the fields already displayed in the dataGridView, so I don't see from where the error comes ! I've searched and think I've found the issue : The dataSource binds to an abstract class which is derivated. This mother class contains properties and default values. If a public property is overriden in one of the child, I get the "#Error" in the reportViewer (no reason for th ...Show All

  What exactly do Microsoft mean by depricating DirectDraw Do they mean DirectDraw will be completely removed in the next DirectX release If so, what are the alternatives That's a kick-a$$ book for 2D game programming. Microsoft will always care about backward compatability with games, so you can expect previous dlls to be there. It just may not run as fast as it use to on OSes past Vista. As the book expects you to do after you read, do move your foundation to either Direct3D/OpenGL. ...Show All

• .NET Development Parsing double value from a string

  Hi all, I need to parse a string which is in the following format (example): -0.0004 USD/Tonnes Basically, it will be a double value, might be preceded by the negative (-) sign and followed by <Currency>/<Unit of Measure> . The result should be just the double value (with the sign if its there), as in the above example, it should translate to -0.0004 I wanted to know if there is an easy way of doing it in C#, like using the Double.Parse() or the string.Format() methods (I tried them both but couldn't get them to work) Or do I have to parse the string character-by-character to get the required result Thanks in advance, MadMonk P.S.: Apologies if its a silly question, I'm still a newbie in .NET ...Show All

  Hello, in the microsoft.public.windows.developer.winfx.indigo group I was encouraged to ask my question also here, so I hope this is not seen as cross posting.
