• Windows Forms Binding Navigator Desapiring

  Hello I have a wierd problem. I have a form with a TabControl component. In this tabcontrol i have 6 tabs in which I have a groupbox in each. In each of the group box I have a Binding Navigator. The problem is that if I add more than 2 binding navigators in the project they all desapier and go to the back of the form. They are still there but if I execute the project I dont see them in the tabs. If I only have 2 or just one there is no problem... -Thanks ...Show All

• .NET Development Simple Reflection Question - Getting the class name?

  This is probably easy, I just stink at reflection and can't seem to locate the resource I'm looking for... I like to use Debug.WriteLine() in order to help trace events. What is particularly helpful is to know which Class and Function posted the Debug, so I include that in the text, something like this: Debug.WriteLine("MyClass:MyFunction:Fired."); Of course, I have to keep retyping the Class and Function name each time I add this to a new location, what a pain. So I figured it would be easier to use reflection to figure out what class and function I'm in. Something like this: Debug .WriteLine( MethodInfo .GetCurrentMethod().Name + "():Fired" ); That does a nice job of giving me the Function name I'm in. Now I just need t ...Show All

• SQL Server Export to CSV - Multiple Subreports

  A little background: We have a container report that houses 12 subreports. Only 1 subreport is displayed when executed. The other subreports are hidden via an expression. The subreports are stacked on top of one another. The Problem: When exported to .csv, we will get the data of the "visible report" (this is what we want), however we get 11 "Error: Subreport cannot be shown" where the other subreports are "hidden". This would be very confusing to our endusers, and I am having a hard time resolving this. Has anyone had a similar experience Thanks in advance. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Strange vb temp file problem

  Hi there Has anyone ever encountered vb6 creating temp files when the user navigates through a program A friend of mine is boggled by her vb6 app that mysteriously creates lots of tmp files as people uses the program. This has caused the server to create thousands of these tmp files, which are all empty. I have no idea what could be causing this especially since there is no explicit file handling in the code of the app. Any ideass Mike As I suspected, the code has a scope problem. Variables should always be declared at the lowest possible level in order to prevent unexpected behavior. In this case, you're leaving multiple ADODB.Connection variables that are declared at the module level open. It al ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Problems when moving from Beta3 refresh to RTM version

  Hi all, I've now worked with the source control part for quite a while in the Beta 3 refresh version of TFS. Now we're upgrading to a released version and want to restore our work on new HW. Both the Beta installation and the new released version are single-server installations that belongs to the same domain. I've followed the instructions 'How to: Move Your TFS from one HW configuration to another'. Here's the link: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms404869.aspx 1. The first problem I get into is when I move the service accounts using command: tfsadminutil ChangeAccount domain\tfsservice domain\tfsservice I'll get messages that changes were made to application pools 'TFS AppPool', 'TFSWSS' and 'TFSWSSADMIN', b ...Show All

• Windows Forms Setting form culture

  HI When using the Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture, it will change the whole program's culture. I am wondering if it is possible to set a the culture for each form separately My goal is that two separate form can run on two different languages at a time Thanks Normally, all forms run on the same thread so changing the CurrentThread's culture would affect them all. Technically, it is possible to have another thread create a form and call Application.Run(). Beware of the bee'z nest you'll stir up when you try to make these forms interact with each other. Control.InvokeRequired is mandatory in such scenarios... ...Show All

• SQL Server Encryption related overflow?

  Recently restored a SQL 2000 database to a SQL 2005 Server. The database contains a series of user stored procs (one calls upto 5 other sps) which are all encrypted using 'WITH ENCRYPTION' clause. When run on SQL 2000 Server this runs without error. When run on SQL 2005 Server it reports an error: Msg 565, Level 18, State 1, Procedure SPDM_MP1_SOURCE59, Line 5143 A stack overflow occurred in the server while compiling the query. Please simplify the query. Investigating the error line reported does not reveal any problems with the sp and the error line number reported is not always consistent. However, altering the stored procs so they are not encrypted and it all runs without error. Is there a compatibility issue running SPs e ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Several Listen Activity in my workflow.

  How can I have diferent event from diferents Listen Activity. now, when we have, in the workflow more then one Listen activity (in diferent times of the WF), the WorkflowIdled is the one is always fired How can we point diferent idle events for each Listen activities tkx in advance Paulo Aboim Pinto Odivelas - Portugal The WorkflowIdled event is not specific to any activity, or workflow instance for that matter. The idled event gets fired whenever any workflow instance goes idle, and the instance id of the specific workflow is passed to you through the event args. If you want to know when a specific Listen activity is executing, then you're looking to use a tracking service. The tracking service can give you the granulari ...Show All

• .NET Development Best Practice - Implementing Dispose / Exposing the Disposable Resources

  I apologize if this thread is in the wrong forum. Our general rule of thumb is if our class owns a class level unmanaged resource or a managed resource that contains a Dispose method then we implement IDisposable on our class. So, for instance, we have a class level DataTable that we instantiate from within the class, since it has a Dispose on it, we implement dispose. No problem there. My question is, if we expose that class level DataTable that our class owns via a property, or return it via a function or even return it via a reference parameter....should we still clean it up via dispose We are divided here at our shop. I say no, my boss says yes. We are currently cleaning it up in the dispose. 8) My thought is we are sending t ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WCF Internals

  Is there any whitepaper out there that details some of the internal behavior of the WCF listener framework I would like to know things like the implications of running several services in the same process as opposed to splitting them into different processes running in parallel. I want to know if having all my services listening on the same TCP port (netTcpBinding) has any performance implications as opposed to having each service listen on a different port. I know that ASP.NET had several good whitepapers on the HTTP Pipeline and some "what happens when" timelines that detail what the runtime does when a request is received. Is a similar document planned for WCF Adiavn wrote: Why no ...Show All

• SQL Server Invisible rows after failed syncronization

  Publisher: SQL Server 2000 SP4 Subscriber: SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition Sometimes, after a failed merge replication(due to communication error) some rows on the subscriber became invisible for the publisher. I've reproduced a case: [START Short Version] All rows inserted between a comm failed sync and a fine sync became invisible. This seems to be caused because the subscriber keeps generating rows with the same generation number and the publisher doesn't look for this generation anymore.

Clocks that have duration of Forever must use TimeSeekOrigin.BeginTime." The storyboard and MediaTimeline are not DurationForever or RepeatForever. Also - to use TimeSeekOrigin .BeginTime I need to know the duration and I have no easy way of getting that. MediaElement has a ...Show All
