• Visual C# Passing Values from Form A to Form B and vice versa!!

  Hi all, I'm using Visual C# Express 2005. I have two forms, form A and form B. I can pass values from form A to form B but I can't get the values from form B to form A. Any help would be appreaciated. Thanks in advance!! My answer is different from the one in the above link. So I will try to help.. You should subscribe ( newForm.sendParams += new Form2.parameterPassing(newForm_sendParams); ) to the event in the MainForm (Form1), where you call form2, not in form2; in your try you had subscribed to the event in form that you describe it. So it doesn't work. also for the frist exception; If you never subscribe it to anywhere then you get a null reference exception. ...Show All

• SQL Server Report Builder Report Possibility?

  This may not be possible, but I wanted to see what some of the experts' opinions are here. One of our users has created a report in Report Builder. I want to take this report, post it to a folder and allow her employees to run the report. I've put it in a folder called "Reference Line Reports" and gave browser permission to a list of users. These users are able to run the report (without having access to Report Builder or the report model). When they try to utilize the "infinite clickthrough" functionality, I get the following error. The permissions granted to user '<domain>\<username>' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied) If I give one of these user ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Import rolemembers

  I just imported a database into a Database project. Directly after importing I did a compare with the same database. One would expect this would result in no differences, but there were some. The difference is that for roles which have a role member, this role member is not imported. When comparing schema's, the following code is shown in the target object pane (database) while the bold part is missing from the source object pane (project). CREATE ROLE [aspnet_Membership_BasicAccess] AUTHORIZATION [dbo] GO EXEC sp_addrolemember N 'aspnet_Membership_BasicAccess' , N 'aspnet_Membership_FullAccess' GO If I do a update, the role members are dropped.

• Visual Studio Dynamic SELECT Commands

  Hi everyone. I am developing a data management program for an Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life at a university. The backend is an access database, and they want report functionality. They want three different report types: Contact Information (Chapter Name, Name, Email, Cell #), Mailing Information, and Chapter Information. For the Contact report, it can either be an Alumni or Undergraduate report (based on user input). Also for the Mailing report, it can be either local or permanent mailing information (also based on user input). The way I handle this is by having a sort of "report builder" where the user selects either "Contact", "Mailing", or "Chapter." Then for example, if the user selects Contact, then he will have t ...Show All

• Visual C# Check file signature?

  Is it possible to compare a file's signature to a string Thank you. Evan Mulawski Hi Evan. I'm answering to your post asuming a couple of this... since I'm still not sure of what you want. Most files start with a header. For example, a bmp starts with the BITMAPFILEHEADER. Within this header usually , the first bites are a signature . For example, the BITMAPFILEHEADER start with BM. Anyhow, I assume you will not know what your file contains... so you can't assume that it starts with text. Therefor the answer to your question is " no ". What you can do is convert the string to binary and compare it with the file's first bytes. This is: public bool FileStartsWith ( string signature, string file ...Show All
