• Windows Forms Cell Validating Problem

  Hey guys, I currently have a DataGridView with a datasource of business objects. What i am trying to do is make entry into date fields as quick as possible so i have built a simple functions which takes a number and converts it to a date. My problem arises that when the user enters a number to have it converted to a date the cell will not validate and the function will never get called.  I try and set it by going dgvWhatever[e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex].Value = aDate; but it wont work because the original cell never validates. I found a workaround which was to cancel the cellValidating event on rows which contain a date and this works but if someone starts editing in a new row a date field then it gets cancelled and the ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Management Express Linked Server

  I have created a Linked Server (in Server Objects) and set the linked server options. Now I need to set the Provider Options.

• Windows Forms Distributing Runtime files with .net program (Question)

  So I heard somewhere you can distribute the .net framework with your .net program. So if someone doesn't have the .net framework on there computer, the program comes with all the runtime files without installing anything, could someone tell me how to do this please simply create a setup and deployment project and thats it! Well, of course, you need to set it up to include your project, create application folders and so on. When installing on the destination computer, the installer automatically downloads the correct version of the .NET Framework, installs it then continues to install your application http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/vsintro7/html/vbconintroductiontodeployment.asp http://msdn. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Multiple monitor problem

  Hi everyone, I am writing a Direct3D application that run in multiple-monitor mode. If I leave DirectX window on primary display, everything is OK (CPU% is about 1%). As soon as I move DirectX window to second display, CPU usage jumps up 100% even though I have not drawn anything in the windows. Any help would be appreciated. If your D3D device was not created to use the adapter connected to the second monitor then Windows will try to show your 3D content by transferring the results from the first adapter's memory to the second one's. This operation is of course too slow and is all done via the CPU. Read on Multimon support in the SDK docs to see what options you have to deal with multimons in D3D. ...Show All

• Visual Basic List box word wrap?

  I was wondering if there is a way to multiline listbox strings so they dont get cut off at the end of the box. If not, it would still be helpful to know how to divide two strings into two different items if they get cut off at the end of the box. Thanks Consider using a tooltip, similar to what Microsoft does in their MSDN library. Drop a ToolTip control on your form, then try this: Private Sub ListBox1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles ListBox1.MouseMove Dim idx As Integer = ListBox1.IndexFromPoint(listboxpos) If idx >= 0 Then ToolTip1.SetToolTip(ListBox1, CStr(ListBox1.Items(idx))) Else ToolTip1.SetToolTip(ListBo ...Show All

• .NET Development Database "design" question

  Hi, we are working on a programm that uses a database comparable to a movie-database. Theres a table with all films. Each has an englisch name and sometimes there is a german, italian, spanish, ... translation. We think that it is the easiest way to use the englisch name (which every film has) as default name to add a column for every other language that may occur (that might be about 8). As result we will have ca. 70% empty entries in these 8 rows. But this shouldnt be a problem because we use VARCHAR as type and sql querries only use the default language-column and the column of the language the user wants. Do you think this approach is ok There will be arround 50000 entries in our database. Our should the language translation be seperat ...Show All
