  Is it possible to specify an enum value ( defined somewhere in a .cs file ) as a value for the Tag of a ComboBoxItem I'd like to associate items in the ComboBox with particular enum values so I don't have to convert within C#.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to host multiple services at a single location in WCF?

  Hi evryone, WCF is totally new to me, so I need to learn from all of you. After learning WCF by download examples in Microsoft‘s website, I still not quite sure how to design the software for my company using WCF technology.

• SQL Server SQL 2000 Enterprise Linking of servers not pulling data.

  I know this is an easy one for most of you but this is new territory for me. I am trying to link a production application database to an existing SMS database. Both of these databases are SQL 2000. I have sa access to both of them. I have an accreditation application that deals with internal processes within our active directory network. We are using SMS database collections to provide the discovery for reporting of this application database and I want to compare the collection to the existing data between the 2 databases. For simplicity I will define them both. Application Database we will call “A-Database” SMS Database we will call “B-Database” I have gone into the A-Database and gone to linked Serve ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to have only a single instance of form running

  Hello guys, I have a Winforms application written in managed C++. I would like to only have one instance of my application running on a given system at a time. The reason being opening another instance of my form can really mess up the environment I'm working in. How can I do that I'm guessing it wont be very hard to do. Appreciate your help!! Figured it out. The mutex was being prematurely discarded on other systems (strange). Anyway, I added a GC::KeepAlive(mutex) to keep a hold of the mutex as long as its running. It works like a charm now. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Copy a datagrid

  Is there an easy way of copying a datagrid in one form to a datagrid in another, still with all data and columns Yes What i did was this 1) i copied the dataset,binding source,table adapter and binding navagator first. 2) i then copied the dataview grid. 3) i then copied the form load commands that fill the dataset: Me .CompaniesTableAdapter.Connection.ConnectionString = ConnectionString Me .CompaniesTableAdapter.Fill( Me .HaffnersDataSet.Companies) This worked for me.

• SQL Server howto open tunnel connection

  Hi, I'm connected to a remote server via a ssh tunnel. On the server there is an SQL Server running. The remote SQLServer TCP port 1433 is forwarded to local computer to port 8966.

• Visual Basic VB.NET & EMAIL

  I am trying to figure out, for a friend, how to write a VB program that will launch multiple IE's and when those IE's launch fill in the appropriate login name and password for that site. Is there any way that this can be done you can launch a process of IE using the System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(" http://www.url.com ") but as for filling out the form, I'm not sure this can be done but do not quote me. You can however embed a WebBrowser control in your application, if you have .NET 2.0, and implement the document_completed event then look through the documenttext/page property for tags and modify them but this would be terrible as you would be parsing strings and what not - nasty stuff. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Description query fails when trying to run.

  I have a search query setup. It's pretty simple, it runs against the current project and looks at the Description field for specific text. If I run the same query against the title field everything works with no problems. When I run the query, an error comes up stating 'stating there is a problem on the server. Contact your team foundation administrator.' Well I recently fell into that position, so I'm trying to address the problem. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot the problem. Any help would be welcome. aaron Can you look at the event log on the application tier machine and see if there are any hints of what went wrong I think you may need to enable full text indexing for the long text fields.

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 Active Desktop

  Hey all, we have a domain here with 15 clients. The policy Active Desktop Wallpaper is enabled, so the users have a default wallpaper that they can't change.
