• Visual C# getting the connectionstring from web.config

  i recently upgraded to vs2005, and so far i'm very impressed. but i'm having trouble getting the connectionstring from my web.config. VS2003 - OleDbConnection dbConnection = new OleDbConnection(System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["nameOfConnectionString"]); i've learned that this is not the proper way to do it in vs2005. I read somewhere about doing it similar to this (see below). but haven't had any luck. Any help would be appreciated. VS2005 - string cnn; cnn = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["nameOfConnectionString"].ConnectionString; OleDbConnection dbConnection = new OleDbConnection(cnn); thanks To open the ConnectionStrings section of the web.config file ...Show All

• Windows Forms Insert / Update database using CurrencyManager and BindingContext

  Hi, I just implemented the CurrencyManager and BindingContext using this link http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.currencymanager.aspx , but now I can't update the Data Base. Here is the code I use. this .myCurrencyManager.EndCurrentEdit(); this .produtosTableAdapter.Update(DataSet ); The update method should go and store the information into the database, but it's not happening that, I guess that's because the data in CurrencyManager is not going to my DataSet, maybe I'm passing the wrong parameter in my TableAdapter, but I have no clue what parameter I should use instead of my DataSet. It does not throw an exception, the method goes without problem, but the update goes with the old information. ...Show All

• Windows Forms OnPaint Override Problem with UserControl that contains Panel and ListBox Controls

  I am attempting to creat a custom user control.  It contains a Panel and a ListBox control that I use to change view modes of the control.  When I attempt to paint on the user control itself nothing is painted.  If I respond to the OnPaint event of the Panel control and paint there then the drawing shows.  If I respond to the OnPaint event of the ListBox control and paint there then nothing shows.
