• Smart Device Development WinCE C# project: Menu occupies too much space

  I have a menu in my C# NETCF 2.0 application. There are only 2 menu items in the top row. If I put a label beside them it's invisible, blocked by the menu eventhough the area is free. The menu seems to occupy a standard area no matter how many top menu items there are in the menu. Is there any way of making a menu occupy only 30 % of the top row instead of 80 % (what it seems to be right now) A device my company manufactures themselves. It runs Windows CE 5.0 and NETCF 2.0. I've also been using the Platform Builder Emulator. ...Show All

• SQL Server How to stop automatic Replication Validation?

  Under EM's Replication Monitor/Publishers/pub1/publisher1 there is a "Validate Subscriptions" option on the right-click menu. Since I see unexplained Replication Validation activity I think that the "Validate Subscriptions" option is turned on. But there is no "turn-off" button or way to say "stop." Does anyone know how this "feature" works Thanks I would suggest that you script the publication out and look at it in Query Analyser. It may not be obvious what the parameter is as sometimes the description we see in the GUI is far different from what the parameter might mean. You can always look up the parameters in BOL to make sure you understand them. We have previously used this technique to ...Show All

• Windows Forms Short Cut To Different Outputs

  I created a utility project that creates an exe as an output that im including into the setup project. I can see the exe listed in the output section of the primary output.. It gets correctly included when i test the installer, however i dont seem to have the option to create a short cut to it. Similarly, I dont seem to be able to create a shortcut to other output types. is it possible to create short cuts in these case I know i can add the file in manually and created a shortcut, but Id like to keep the file included as a primary output since then i can move things around and the setup project will automatically adjust Anthony I don't believe there is another way to do that, but then I always just add t ...Show All

• Windows Forms Mouse coordinates in CellMouseClick event

  Hi I want to display different ContextMenuStrips depending in which cell the user right-clicks. Since I'm using an unbound dgv I can't use the ContextMenuStripNeeded event (is this correct ) so I'm trying to just simple show the ContextMenuStrip programatically. My problem is that the DataGridViewCellMouseEventArgs only return the location of the mouse with the current cell not within the dgv itself. Is there any way of getting the mouse position within the dgv when using the CellMouseClick event Cheers, Pedro Hello there, I am actually trying to solve the same problem, capturing the mouse coordinates with respect to the grid view. I was wondering if you'd be able to post your solution(sample code) a ...Show All

• .NET Development About Connection and Disconnected Architecture

  Hi Which Architecture is better one in performance point of view. I am in big confusion pls help me... thank u seshu babu HI, In my point of view, In a connected scenario every changes that you make in your data would then be reflected in your database, it means that every update and every deletions or analysis that you are making, you are contacting your server. This may cause heavy traffics in your network. In a disconnected environment, you will have the chance to verify your data and change it before sending your updates in the database. In this case, other users would not be then affected by anything you are doing to your data. Coz your data would be stored locally (memory). and also, with a disconnec ...Show All

• .NET Development FolderBrowserDialog Not Recognizing Network ACL Challenge?

  I am seeing a strange problem using the folderbrowserdialog in VS2003. If I attempt to access an ACL protected network resource, I never get prompted for user name and password and the contents of the share are not displayed. The dialog just sits there on the selected share and nothing happens. If I access the share first through another method and have already entered the credentials or I have a stored username and password then the folderbrowserdialog can access this resource just fine. Anybody have any ideas Thanks in advance. ...Show All
