• Visual Basic Is the IDE Tab control available as a component?

  The IDE Tab control has some features that I would like as a run-time component - mainly the auto-hide feature. Is the component MS uses in the IDE availalble as a usable component If not, is there a tab control component that behaves like the IDE version with auto-hide Thanks for your replies. I wonder why MS did not include the component in it's toolbox as it is used to build the development IDE If any MS Visual Studio people are reading this, can you make the tab control component you build the IDE with available Thanks.. ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView - Select row programatically

  How can I programatically make a row in a DataGridView selected The SelectedRows property is read only. I have a slightly different question along these lines if someone can help me out. I have a multi-select datagridview. I have added a contextmenu to my rows when adding them based on a column value. I only allow a row selection. When you right click on the row, the contextmenu pops up, but it does NOT select the row that was right clicked on. I solved this problem by checking the mousedown event, checking to see if it was the right mouse button that was clicked and then selecting the row. The result is like a multi-select selection with the CTRL key pressed. If the SHIFT key is pressed it w ...Show All

But now we getting this message: The Messaging Engine received an error from transport adapter "CommerceServerOrders" when notifying the adapter with the BatchComplete event. Reason "Object reference not set to an instance of an object.” This tells us nothing.

  I am writing an application for a Windows Mobile device using C# and .Net Compact framework. I need to obtain the system timezone or timezone that the user specifies in the Settings/Date and Time area.

• Architecture Architectural Considerations for Auditing

  We are building an application which connects to two kinds of database viz. one is a local database store and other is located at a central server. Now to perform auditing for every transaction I am of the opinion to do auditing at the database level. Implement it as part of trigger insertion into an audit table. Reason being its simple to implement and maintain. My Database Architect is against the idea and wants me to handle auditing at the application level. Would appreciate your viewpoints and guidance on this. Thanks Sai Dear Sai, Generally raw db audits don't satisfy the audit requirements from most applications as understanding data out of raw audits is complicated. I recommend that yo ...Show All

Windows XP Pro SP2, Visual Studio 2003 Pro, SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition, Visual C# Express, Visual Web Developer Express, SQL Express 2005, MSDE. I also have Virtual Server 2005 SP1 beta installed. Problem just started this weekend. Whenever I click on any topic in the Index, Document Explorer crashes. I've tried Repair on Visual C# Express, Visual Web Developer Express and MSDN 2005 Express. Same problem. It was working fine last week, I'm not sure what's changed. I have previously had VS2005 beta2 installed, but I removed that by following the instructions before installing the Express Editions -- and, as I said, they were working fine last ...Show All
