• Windows Forms Getting current row values from my BindingSource in C# VS 2005!!!

  Hello, How can i get a current row values from my BindingSource. I have a DropDown List that points to a view, and I set a column of my view to be displayed in my DropDown list and another column as it's value. I need to display another column of my view in a ReadOnly TextBox right near my DropDown list. Thanks so much in advance, Mathew Thanks Bonnie, It's not a Master/Detail. Sorry, I explained it in wrong words. I use filter for my Master/Details by the way. Actually it's one table but I have some Foreign Keys to other tables. For example, in EmployeeAddress table I have their addresses and a Foreign key to City table. Now, in my Combo Box I show the city name, but I save the PrimaryKey ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Avoid Temp File Creation by Excel

  Hi All I open a couple of Excel Workbooks through VB Code, save and close them. At times, not this has become often, temporary files (like 09fe45fsf) are getting created and the Workbook, which I intend to save is not getting saved. How to avoid Excel creating Temp Files My workbooks are not shared, but have links to other workbooks Many thanks in advance Shasur Hi Shasur I have experienced the problem you describe, the problem was not Excel but the stability of our network. If you lose the connection to a mapped drive / network folder and it re-establishes while you are working, you cannot save the file , but excel saves it using a combination of letters and numbers. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Why include all columns in tombstone tables?

  Why do the demos from the synchronizer blog add all columns to the tombstone tables Wouldn't it be enough to add the ID, creation date and update date columns You are right. You don't have to include all the columns in the tombstone table. The primary key and the metadata columns are the minimum you need to get the scenario working. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is .NET 3.0 RTM supposed to work on Windows 2003 Server?

  I started a similar thread on Channel 9 , but on Rob Relyea's suggestion I'm moving it here. Here's my orginal question: I downloaded .NET 3.0 RTM today and installed it on my Windows 2003 Server development server. I tried double clicking on a XAML file and the system went nuts: the screen flashed, the mouse kept moving to the center and corners of the screen, etc...  It looked like my machine was taken by the Indigo/Avalong ghost...  Finally I had to bring up task manager and kill IE. I tried multiple times, with different XAML files.  I tried uninstalling and re-installing, downloading the fast installer and the full re-distributable (50 MB).  No luck - WPF just doesn't seem to work. I've been u ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions combobox selectedindexchanged fires when filled with dataset

  I fill my unbound combobox using a dataset on form load. When the form loads it automatically fires the code in the combobox selectedindexchanged event without the user changing the selection. Obviously it is recognising the fill as part of the event. How can I get this code to fire only when combobox is changed manually Thanks Thanks Mahi. That sounds about right.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Drawing and connecting Bezier Curves in 3D

  Hello All, I have drawn a Bezier curve which looks like this < Path Data = " M0,80 C0,0, 80,5, 100,5 " Stroke = " Black " StrokeThickness = " 1 " Name = " myCurve " Margin = " 0 ,0,0,0 " Height = " 72 " VerticalAlignment = " Bottom " /> I now want to recreate a similar curve in 3D space. I want to identify certain Key points (Point3D or Positions) on this curve (may be 5-6). Then I will clone this Bezier curve in 3D space at a certain distance, and connect the respective points of both the curves to Form triangles using the positions identified above. How do I draw this curve in 3D. Is there any way to find out the key-points of the Bezier curve Regards, Rohit. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Showing Forms (From VB6 thinking to VC++)

  Hi! I'm switching from VB6 to VC++ Express. I'm still learning c++ syntax and semantics, but I'm trying to get a "working" feel for VC++ at the same time (in VB, this was a propelling method of learning, just load it up and dive right in, so please, let me know if I'm being counter-intuitive here). Anyway, to the point; here's how I'm thinking: "Form2.Show" What I know about VC++: I've managed to go from "combo1.additem" to "comboBox1->Items->Add("test");." So at least I'm getting somewhere. Unfortunately there is not near as much available documentation (apparently) online for VC++ as there is VB, which leads me to this question: How do I show a second form I've added ("adminPass.h") I've managed to figure out I need: #pragma once # ...Show All

• Visual Basic upgrade VB6 to .Net

  Hi, I am upgrading VB6 to VB.Net. I get an Error message: "Type AxMSComctlLib.AxListView is not defined". How could I solve this problem Thanks in advance. Do you mean you have upgraded a project from vb6 to vb.net it sounds like AxMSComctlLib is a VB6 component (com object ) which cannot be loaded in .net. Do a google search for AxMSComctlLib and you'll find loads of links to the same problem you're having. the upgrade wizard is fairly rubbish, most people seem to reccomend re-writing an app for .net rather than upgrading it ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Animating Around an Ellipse

  If I have the coordinates for an ellipse is there an easy way to animate a specific object around the ellipse's path using a story board Or, would I have to do all that via JavaScript I see there there are key frames but to be honest I'm not real sure where to start there or if that's even the right directly. Any starter code would be greatly appreciated. A good place to start is the Animation overview on http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb188569.aspx . The quickstart also has a few animation examples. Basically, you can animate all double, color, and point properties in WPF/E (which really enables a large number of scenarios).
