• Windows Forms Ctrl-C does not work on Textbox Edit control

  Hi All, I think this is a bug in VS 6.0. It was fixed, according to Microsoft, but now it appears on VS2005. I am using VC++ and .Net Form. In my forms, I have bunch of Text box edit control.

Praba, This one threw me off as well. What is missing from the documentation is that the back order quantity is never decremeneted by the updateinventory component. It is mearly a limit of the maximum amount of a back order per order. I had hope that the functionality would actually allow me to limit the total amount to be pre/backordered across all orders. Alas, this is not the case. Cheers, Colin ...Show All

• Smart Device Development DataGrid, threading and refreshing displayed data

  hello everyone, The main issue is that the datagrid does not receive events, or more exctly events are delayed forever. I have a worker thread that reads data from the network and assigns after processing that data , values to the table in a dataset, the table is the datasource for the datagrid. After assingning the data to the table in the dataset , the datagid does not update by itself so i call Refresh on the datagrid like this, using a delegate: _AFDataGrid.BeginInvoke( new UpdateDisplayDelegate (_AFDataGrid.Refresh)); But then, the datagrid won't receive any events, like dragging the scroll bars, or clicking a cell (this should display a context menu). My guess is that i get to much information from the stream and r ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Sharepoint development future? .NET 3.5 and beyond...

  We are at the beginning of developing for Sharepoint 2007. It has however occured to me that with .NET 3.5 on the horizon (with Orcas release of Visual Studio) will we be locked into coding .NET 2.0 (and 3.0 with the right wrappers) until Sharepoint is updated What is the roadmap for this as it has implications for our ability to keep pace with current technology if we are tied to the Sharepoint platform for development True,.. but if Sharepoint isn't going to be able to leaverage the gradually evolving .NET platform, then we are currently in a position to switch to building our own portal and making use of Sharepoint via Services.
