• Windows Forms Datagridview unbound computed on bound...which event to use?

  Okay, I've spent the day trying to get this right, and not quite there yet. So much for rapid application development. Please advise My datagridview control has bound columns and unbound columns. I want the unbound columns values set based on a computation against the bound columns. Say my boundcolumn value is a date Sep 20 2006, so I want my unboundcolumn value to be assigned "Wednesday". I can do that fine in various events, but not immediately after the initial databinding...my unboundcolumns are remaining blank until my user starts selecting cells because I haven't solved which event when the datagridview is first loaded to use to calculate the unboundcolumns. Any ideas I've tried after the rowsadded and databindco ...Show All

• Community Chat Zune and the iPod

  I've been following the Zune announcements fairly closely here at work. If you follow my blog, you'll see that I'm pretty passionate about media technologies, and recently went through the pain of migrating away from iPod/iTunes and onto Yahoo Music/Gigabeat S (Portable Media Center). Here the blog category where I talk about it: http://blogs.msdn.com/joemorel/archive/category/13772.aspx Now Zune is in the mix. It looks pretty neat, but I'm not sure if people are really going to go for the whole WiFi thing. I'm just not sure that I want to listen to the same music as the person sitting next to me on the bus.

In the Modules pane, make sure that the DLL in question has ...Show All

• SQL Server Creating offline (local) cubes using XMLA, or any other way..

  Hi, I realise this subject has been discussed a lot but there seems to be no definitive answer. The company I work for creates many cubes (currently using many SQL statements) for the sales regions at the end of each month and we need to move to a better platform, hence analysis services projects. Is there any "easy" way to take a cube created by an analysis services project and save it to an offline (local) cube Currently I am trying to use VB.NET 2005 to process the XMLA definition from AS2005, which is easy to get at. The VB code is: Dim myClient As New Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Xmla.XmlaClient Dim l_result, l_XmlaCommand As String l_result = "" Try ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Error when running tests: Column 'TestType' does not belong to table test.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Automatic end brackets

  I am using Visual C# Express. Is it possible to have it automatically put an end bracket in when I enter a beginning bracket for instance, when I enter: for(int t = 0; t < something; t++) { Then when I press enter, it automatically puts the end bracket in, and puts my cursor between them. I have looked through all of the options, and haven't found a feature like this. It would be very helpful. SharpDevelop does this automatically, and other than that one thing, I like Visual C# Express much better. If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it.

• Visual C++ window pointer for a new window

  Hi, I have created a new window using the following method AfxGetMainWnd()->PostMessage(WM_COMMAND, ID_FILE_NEW); How can I get a pointer to this new window What is the difference between a window handle and a window pointer Pritha If the ID_FILE_NEW command succeeded, a new view object will be created and activated. In order to obtain it, I think you can try the GetMainWnd()->GetActiveView() function. (See the documentation of CActiveView about how to do this differently in case of MDI applications). Note that the new window is created after fully processing of ID_FILE_NEW command. Therefore you probably should try SendMessage instead of PostMessage . Otherwise GetActiveView will be called ...Show All
