• Windows Forms DataGridViewComboBoxCell Refresh?

  I've got a DataGridView with a databound DataGridViewComboboxColumn. In the CellClick event of the DataGridView I try to change the value of the combobox to a 'default' value. For example: the possible values in the combobox are 'a' and 'b', after a click in the cell it should always show the value 'a', no matter what the value was before the click. But I only see the change in the clicked cell when *another* cell is activated. As a workaround I added (hack alert!) cell.Readonly=true and cell.Readonly=false statements to the CellClick event. That works better (the change to the default value is visible right after the click), but the drawback is that after the click the combobox cell flashes like crazy. That's unwanted behaviour.&n ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista CEM/HEE & queuing

  If I am using a CallExternalMethod (CEM) or HandleExternalEvent (HEE) within a workflow, I realize that for each activity, the the delegate of the method being executed is is enqueued and dequeued as the workflow is executing. However, when the method on my local service is being called by the CEM, is workflow queuing somehow involved the same way The reason this question comes up, is that for calling an external method, is there any difference between having a code activity that has the code in it to call the method on the local service vs using the CEM (I know the CEM uses reflection) I’d like to know what service the CEM (or HEE) is providing that couldn’t be performed by just calling the code directly. Thanks! One a ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Bug in Interactive Designer (June CTP)?

  In Interactive Designer it is possible to create a new template for controls. When I select a ListBox for example, I can select "Make New Resource ..." in the properties window. Then a <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListBox}" ... /> is created. This works find for a lot of controls, but when I try to create a ControlTemplate for a ListView the following error is displayed: Invalid property value: Unable to cast object of type 'System.Boolean' to type 'System.String'. Is there another way to get the default ControlTemplate for a ListView I would like to change the ControlTemplate, which already works. But the header row is not displayed any more. Therefore I would like to get the default ControlTempl ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Developing custom panel (designer)

  Hi! We are currently learning how could we extend Cider for our tasks and we've stuck with several questions. We would very appreiciate if Guys with Knowlege can explain it to us. We need something like StackPanel. Unfortunatly standard one doesn't work in November CTP. Is it possible theoretically to make custom panel which will allow us to drop controls into it and rearange it's children To what classes/methods/concepts should we look We've achieved some success with custom adorner provider that extends PrimarySelectionAdornerProvider and accept drops. But it's working only when panel is selected which is not good for users. Is there something like DragOverAdornerProvider Or should we look in some completely different place Can we l ...Show All

• SQL Server Performance problems with SQL commands in data flow task

  SQL statement within an OLE DB Command component is extremely slow (hours, days). Same SQL statement executed within a query window of SQL Server Management Studio takes only a few seconds.

• Visual C# Making my own exceptions

  Hy! I want to create my own exception. For example, I want to have InvalidTokenException. How should I do this I know I need to create class that inherits Exception class, but don't know what to do then... A class that inherits Exception is the minimum you need to do. Once you've done this, you can throw it like any other exception. It's useful write a message to the base constructor, and add your own fields and properties to describe the error in more detail. -Ryan / Kardax ...Show All

  Hi there, I am thinking of purchasing Visual Studio 2005 however I am unsure of one thing.
