• Windows Forms how to increase row height of listview

  hi, In a listview can we change the height of row Actually i am having a listview having 2 column.. if the data in database is larger then the width specified then that data should appear on the another line... so can we manage row height dynamically... all helps will be appreciated... thnx in advance... The height of a listview item is entirely controlled by the listview's Font property. You can't have multiple lines in an item unless you use custom drawing with OwnerDraw/DrawItem. Using a font half the size of the listview's Font in DrawItem gives you enough space for two lines. You can't adjust the height for each individual item. Consider a commercial grid control if you can't li ...Show All

• SQL Server Can I Debug Remote SQL Server 2000 Stored Procedure in Visual Studio 2005

  I can debug an SQL Server 2005 stored procedure in Visual Studio 2005 from a local database (e.g. AdventureWorks). However, when I try to debug a stored procedure on a remote server running SQL Server 2000 the debug process is not accessible (i.e. I can choose 'Step Into Stored Procedure' and it seems to run but I cannot debug it). Am I trying to do something that just can't be done Is this a compatibility issue between Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2000 Or am I missing something Thanks for any advice on this. Richard As far as I can see, Server Explorer in Visual Studio does not give me a 'Modify' option. It gives me a 'Step into Stored Procedure' option that does not seem work fo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions VB express guided tour class example

  I recently downloaded vb express and began going thru the guided tour. I got to the part about creating a class and followed the instructions exactly. Then I come to the part about testing your class and the instructions don't correspond to what I'm seeing. For example, on the project menu there is no "Set as Startup Project". Also, when I choose Add References there are no projects listed on the project tab. Its probably something simple that I'm doing wrong but I'm stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. I was doing File-> Open-> New Project instead of File-> Add-> New Project. I knew it was something simple. ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Express - UI Questions

  I apparently overwrote the content of this question when I edited it, so I'm reentering it. Question: What UI is provided with SQL Server 2005 Express, in terms of building tables and relationships, and other basic DB construction functions _______________________________________________ My own answer: MS's page on SQL 2005 Express http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/ describes a "download free management tool"  and has a brief description, which indicates it has a basic UI interface.   So it looks like a separate download...and not dependent on edition (std, pro, etc) of VS 2005. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office MS Word Automation (2000, XP, 2003 & 2007) in C# ?

  Hi We need to write an app that can automate the mail merge process in MS Word. The trouble is our clients have a range of different versions installed. What is the most reliable method for automating versions 2000 through 2007 Can a single approach be taken or do we need to write code for each (gulp) I assume it would be better using COM automation than interop or am I talking rubbish Any advice would be appreciated. Best wishes, Sigol. Choose the automation method that best suits your requirements :-) Office apps are COM, so execution will generally be faster if you use COM. Automation using managed code requires an additional interface, so will tend to be slower. If all you'll be do ...Show All

• .NET Development FileLoadException error

  FileLoadException: The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040) We are randomly getting the above exception thrown in our processes while they are running. This started after we migrated our application to the 2.0 framework. The error goes away if the process (dllhost.exe or w3wp.exe). Somewhat related, fuslogvw doesn't work unless I specify a custom directory for the log locations. It doesn't log anything for COM+ applications also. Any thoughts How do I make fuslogvw work Even when I have a custom directory it doesn't log anything for dllhost. The more interesting issue is that the application works when rest ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Scorched Tanks for Windows (and 360)

  Hey, Continuing my habit of starting more games/projects than I can ever hope to finish, I decided on Thursday I'd write my own version of Scorched Tanks in XNA. What I've got so far is by no means close to being a game, yet, you could probably "play" around with it for 5 minutes or so, so call it what you will. It's working on 360 and Windows (without code changes of course) which is good news. What I've zipped is really just a work in progress for people to play around with and ask any questions (should there be any). The code is, as with all works in progress, fairly atrocious, so I'll keep it to myself for a bit but if by a miracle I've done something and you want to know how I'll happily tidy up the relevant bits and post it. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Resize a selected item in a custom MultiLineListBox

  In my custom MultiLineListBox i need to resize dynamically the currently selected item. So when i click on it - it becomes say 20 pixels higher. And the same with deselect - it becomes 20 pixels smaller. I am using OwnerDrawVariable draw mode in my custom control (it is inherited from ListBox). I have overridden my own OnDrawItem() method and my own OnMeasureItem(). The problem is that when the select event fires the OnMeasureItem() method is not called, it is only called when the whole control is being redrawn. Does there exist a way to solve this problem ...Show All

• Windows Forms PropertyGrid Update

  I have a custom designer based on the DesignSurface class and several custom controls in my toolbox. These custom controls mostly inherit the label control. They also have their own ControlDesigner class. I am having difficulty updating the propertygrid as items change with the control on the designsurface. For instance, I can drag the control but the location in the property grid wont update until I click somewhere else and then back on the control. Also, I have a verb that changes my overridden Text property. It will change the text displayed in the control but the property grid wont update until I click on the control again. I tried firing the ComponentChanged event when the Text property changed but this does not force an update ...Show All

• SQL Server Scheduled SQL Server Agent SSIS Package Job Problem

  HELP! I have been banging my head against a brick wall on this one all this morning AAAAAAGGGHHH! 1. I have an SSIS package that runs a simple SQL script and then updates a few tables by downloading some XML of the web. It runs fine when I kick it off manually under SSMS. 2. I created a SQL Server Agent job to run it every day. This always fails. The error information in the log is useless ("Executed as user: domain\user. The package execution failed. The step failed." - I had already figured that out!). It fails almost straight away, and when I enable logging for the SSIS package, no info is ever logged (text file, windows event log, whatever). 3. Out of desperation I have changed Agent to run under the same domain user ...Show All
