• .NET Development Is it possible to customise Menu or Treeview completely with images?

  Hi I know the menu and treeview can be customised to an extent by using different icons for the main sections alongside the text (and by amending the properties panel) but is it possible to use images for the whole thing thanks Emma Well.... Menu is rendered as a set of table cells and tables.... so in some way it maybe possible using the background-image style property... for that you should create a CustomControl that inherits from the ASP.NET menu and add this property....

• SQL Server Where is SSIS package stored?

  I have used Import-Export wizard to import some data from a flat file into a db table. When prompted, I have chosen to store the package in SQL Server. The package is executing correctly, scheduled to run (job) once a day...the problem is that I can not see this package in EM and I do not know how to open it in BIDS (since i can not point to a certain file). I can see the package in msdb sysdtspackages90 table, but nowhere else in EM - under management->Maintenance Plans I can see the packages created for db maintenance, but not the one created using import-export wizard. I can se the GUID in the job (command line tab) but the search for the GUID # does not yield any results. The searc for .dtsx does not show this package either. Where ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Visual Studio hangs on source control operations

  Hello, I'm having a problem where several TFS source control operations result in Visual Studio becoming (almost) unresponsive. If I try to "Add selected projects to source control" or add an item to a project that is in tfs source control VS first shows the progress dialog and after the operation is complete VS doesn't respond to commands. When I "end task" VS and start again the operation has been completed. It's like the problem reported elsewhere where a modal box is shown off screen. The UISettings.config on my machine, however, seems to be ok. When in this state I can close open documents by pressing Ctrl-F4 and browse windows with Ctrl-Tab but do virtually nothing else. I have disabled all add-ins (Class designer ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Generic Sortable ListView

  Hi, I realized after I wrote the logic for sorting and styling in the grid that it's all very generic and it would be great if I could have a 'SortableListView' or SortableGridViewHeader..

• Visual Studio Express Editions ActiveX problems in .net

  Few active X that used to work properly, means we can easily add them to our forms , throws error when we try them to place on our forms. Even few makes the visual studio crash. I was really shocked to see even the MS studio crashing. Is there any specific reason for the same, even some errors show that since they are working with unmanaged code for controlling ActiveX addition to forms , they are crashing. One example of such a active X control is MSVSA Button Class. Please provide some input on the way to get out of the problem. Even do we have some way by which we can check if the current activeX control is licensed or not. Hi, I think I was unable to specify my problem at first time. ...Show All

• Community Chat Opensource C# BitTorrent library

  Hi there everyone, I've written an open source bittorrent client library which runs on Windows/MacOS and nearly all flavours of Linux which is pretty much at Beta 2 status, i.e. most of the really big bugs are gone. The source is available at the public SVN for mono under the Bitsharp folder (details can be found at www.mono-project.com). There is also a TorrentCreator and BitTorrent Tracker library available at the same place, both written in C# aswell. Those are also needing developers should anyone be interested in pitching in. Example code and a more detailed blurb is at www.mono-project.com/Bitsharp. Basically, i'm doing a call to developers to: 1) Try and find a few people who wish to help with further developing the library. 2) Try ...Show All

• Visual Studio Add Web Form to Web Project

  Okay, I thought that I had figured out how to add a web form and codebehind to a web project from an add-in but it does not appear to be working correctly. I am trying to use the Project object's AddFromTemplate function. It worked when I used the 2003 templates but I am apparently having issues finding the correct 2005 template to use. Does anyone have an example of how to do this correctly in VS 2005 Thank you. I finally figured that problem out. I was using the projectitem.addfromtemplate and I finally tried using the VSWebsite.vsWebSite addfromtemplate function. It finally added it correctly. pDesign = ws.AddFromTemplate( "" , "webform.vstemplate" , "VisualBasi ...Show All

Now if they were to start typing a number that does not exist like "7" nothing will show in the drop down box. I have seen somthing like this in a MS Access box, Is this possible to do in Visual Basic Thank you This is incorrect as a dropdownlist will not allow you to type entries in - only select from existing entries and therefore it would only allow selection of first item wit ...Show All
