• Windows Forms Any good tutorials for C# and SQL databases?

  Hi, I really need some tutorials because I am really getting into C# and databases at the moment. I have watched the two "Beginning C#" tutorials on databases and databinding on the "Start Page" of C# Express Edition 2005, but it doesn't really go into that much depth. Anyone know of any good database and databinding C# tutorials, text or video Thanks, Any reply is appreciated. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Addin for Outlook2000

    Does a addin developed using VSTO work in outlook2000   Thanks. Hi "supersonic" Addins can work with multiple versions of Office (although MSFT doesn't recommend it). Best place to ask this would be in the Outlook newsgroups. There are quite a number of Outlook folks that create Addins - both the "traditional" kinds as well as with VSTO. They'll be the best people to give you advice on how best to approach the task. http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx dg=microsoft.public.office.developer.outlook.vba&lang=en&cr=US ...Show All

• Visual C# How to get time from datetimepicker component

  I have been pnace a control DateTimePicker in my Win form. my problem is that I actually get Date info but time is set to 12:00:00 am. so How can i get the right time that is shows in the control. I use: dtp1.Value.ToString("yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss") in order to get a text, any idea will be appreciate, thanks in advance for your help, Edward The default format for a DTP is "Long". That lets you edit the date but not the time. The drop-down calendar was designed to select a date, not a time. Since the time isn't normally editable, it defaults to midnight. To make the time editable, you need to set the Format property to "Custom" and the CustomFormat property to something like &quo ...Show All

• SQL Server Default Report Server Web Page

  I've only just started working on Sql Server Reporting Services 2005, My role is mainly that of administrator (some other unfortunate sole will be doing the development) However, I'm having some problems configuring the "Welcome" screen on the server.

• Visual Studio VSSConverter - how to exclude a subproject from migration?

  Hi, I'll migrate a project from VSS to TFS, but I need to exclude one subproject from the migration. I can probably delete it temporary in the VSS and then restore after migration. Is there a way to exclude a project from migration through the settings file Thanks, Leonid. Unfortunatly, the VSSConverter does not support explicitly excluding a folder or explicitly including file. I think you have two options 1. You can allow it to migrate all of project 1 including subproject 2. Then delete subproject 2 after migration. 2. Migrate Subproject 1 with the tool and check in File1.txt and File2.txt to TFS without history after the migration. Sorry ...Show All

• Windows Forms Problem with List<T> and TypeConverter

  Hi, I am having a bit of difficulty with TypeConverters and Generic Lists and I was hoping that I could get a bit of advice. I have a type converter that is used to create the constructor code for my component. (It is an XNA a Game Component, but I don't think that that has anything to do with the problem because it appears on a Winform) inside another component. For instance I have the following: public class A{ private string s; public string SProp { get { s = value;} set { return s;} } public A() { s = "" ; } public A( string inS) { s = inS; } } By itself, when class A is an object on a form (or in my XNA Component) the TypeConverter code works fine, the property grid on t ...Show All

• Windows Forms Treeview automatically collapsing when placed in an Mdi Child

  I have a Treeview inside of a form that is set to be an Mdi child (ie, MdiParent = someFormReference). The form has been changed such that clicking on the X does not close the form but hides it, instead. When one clicks the X, the form hides, as expected, but all nodes on the Treeview collapse and don't trigger any collapsing events (OnBeforeCollapse or OnAfterCollapse). If I don't set the MdiParent property, clicking the X doesn't collapse the tree, so showing the form still has the previously expanded nodes in their correct state. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might be happening and how to work around it I could reproduce your problem by setting the Visible property to false and e.Cancel ...Show All

• Windows Forms Tab Based MDI

  Hi All The application I'm working on currently has multiple forms/instances of the same form open at once. Rather then have the user minimise and maximise each window each time they want to look at it, I want to create some kind of Tab-Based MDI, similar to the one used in Visual Studio 05 and applications like Dreamweaver etc. How do I go about creating something like this Thanks! kryzchek wrote: I personally just use the DevExpress component library for it, but if you don't want to spend the money, take a look at this: http://www.codeproject.com/vb/net/DockPanelSkin.asp Very cool -- thanks for the link! ...Show All

• SQL Server Using Unnamed Parameters with MDX Query

  I'm using a OLE DB Provider, but seem to be having issues in using an unnamed parameter.

• Windows Forms Watermark TextBox in winform

  Trying to create a control like Atlas control that will put a watermark inside a textbox while it is empty. My original idea was use UserControl1_Enter and UserControl1_Leave and set this.Text appropriately, but this method could foul up other code using the Text property. My next idea was to use the Paint method, but I am not even sure that TextBox has a OnPaint event at all. Any tips Jon, as far as I know there is no way you can override the painting the a TextBox control, short of drawing everything yourself. There is a solution that should do the trick for you, though. You will need to sublcass the TextBox and override a few things. Consider the following code I put together (far fr ...Show All

• Visual Basic Multithreaded application not compiling.

• Windows Forms DataSet row changed

  I have a dataGridView component connected to a dataset. I can load the dataset and it populates the dataGridView fine. My problem is that I want to know as soon as a user has updated a row (made changes and moved focus from the row) or inserted a row (started a new row, inserted data in one or more columns, and moved focus from the row). I have tried events like the RowLeave event of the dataGridView with checking the HasChanges method of the dataset, but the combination has strange (to me) timing issues with determining when the change was really made. What is the correct event to use and method to call to know when the user has lost row focus on a dataViewGrid and the method that will tell me ASAP on loss of focus if data in the dataset ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista System Image Manager can't catalogue

• SQL Server RDO DataType query.

  A colleague is trying to get some SQL Server data into MS Access, and is querying the table from a VB program. She opens an rdoconnection to an SQLServer database. When testing recordset.rdocolumns("fieldName").type it gives -9 as the value. This does not relate to any of VB's listed RDO connection types. It also shows the rdocolumns("fieldName").size as being twice what the database shows when viewed through Microsoft Access. What is this datatype Any ideas I've found various lists for datatype eNums for ADO, but nothing on RDO (as it's obviously obsolete). Anyone out there got any ideas (other than "use something else") Thanks in advance Chris. ...Show All
