• Windows Forms List Box not updating it's datasource

  I am having a problem with updating the datasouce of the listbox. I have a list box and I bind to an ArrayList of strings. When I add a new string to the arraylist, and rebind it to the listbox, the listbox doesn't show the new string I have added. I tried the update, refresh method in the list box, but none worked. Anyone know why Following is the code I tried to bind and refresh the list box : ltbFilters.DataSource = filters; ltbFilters.Update(); ltbFilters.Refresh(); I found the problem. Just in case if anyone is having the same problem, the solution is simply clear the datasource first then reassign the new datasource to it. That will cause the listbox to update it's element. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Generating client proxy for msmq service

  I am struggling with svcutil (or "Add Service Reference") usage on a msmq service. I see examples with two endpoints, one for net.msmq and one for mex. When I try this, then hit the service.svc using a browser, I get an error of: "The protocol 'net.msmq' is not supported". What is the best way to expose the metadata on an MSMQ service so that I can generate the code that I need for the client Thanks, Michele. I had that at one time, and took it out when I saw some example that did not have it. I put it back in, but I still get the same message: The protocol 'net.msmq' is not supported. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Loading Help slow...

  On my Dell Dimension 8200 (1.8 GHz, 512 MB RAM, Windows XP/Pro) loading help in Visual Studio 2005 is very slow. It takes up to two minutes (!) before the help screen opens in its own window after choosing Help from the menue or pressing Ctrl-F1, H (or some other letter). Once opened, performance is o.k. until I restart Visual Studio (having closed all instances). During load I can't do anything in Visual Studio 2005 whithout getting a "Delay Notification". A strange thing is, if I look at the task manager during the load process it doesn't show much CPU usage most of the time (it goes up to 100% for a few seconds short after beginning and a second time up to about 80% for a few seconds short before finished; for the rest of the time almos ...Show All

• SQL Server Setting width of parameter text box?

  Is there a way to set the width of the parameter text boxes in the Report Server UI As luck would have it, I need it to be just a few characters wider. Thank you, Dick Campbell Ah... Many apologies, from a user perspective yes you are right, there is no way to adjust the textbox width, its a designer issue that has to be set in SSRS designer (VS2005), you may like ot have a workaroung though. You can export the whole thing to Excel and then set the width's as you need. this is a good workaround if you are only after printing the report or something like that!! ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Measuring "rich text"

  I have textual information that is currently stored as RTF. I need to display this text in a drawing element for a diagramming product that I'm working on. What I can't seem to find a solution for is how to determine the width and height of this text. I've tried using a RichTextBox - the ExtentHeight seems to be accurate, but ExtentWidth is just what I sized the control width to. I've read up on the FormattedTextClass which would give me the sizing information that I need, but I don't know how to load RTF into it. Can anyone assist Thanks in advance! I am doing a project where, to remain backwards compatable, I may need to deal with a lot of rich text files. So I used ...Show All

• SQL Server How can I get Actual Operation Cost from Actual Execution Plan?

  I have a view in SQLServer 2005. It took 30 sec. to finish. Then I deleted 4500 records from one table that is used in view. It took 90 sec. to finish now. I did a comparison on Actual Execution Plan between before I deleted data and after I deleted data, they are almost same, only different is Actual Number Rows become less after deleted data. So, I wonder why data become less but time become more. When I look closely on the Actual Execution Plan, the ridiculous thing is, there are only Estimated Operation Cost on each step, no Actual Operation Cost. I guess there are something wrong with optimizer because reuse same Execution Plan, but how can I tell which step wrong without Actual Operation Cost. Thanks! Henry ...Show All

• SQL Server Is there something similar to SQL 2005 row_number() in sql mobile?

  Hello, I am wondering if somone could provide me with a sample SELECT for an auto number query. For example I have a table called People with two columns first_name, and last_name. There isn't a unique id to correspond with the table but would like to dynamically make one during the return of the query.

• Visual C++ Collection

  Programming C++ standalone code - thus .NET technology is not indispensable. There are several options to create collections of data: - MFC: using classes such as CArray, CTypedPtrArray, etc. - STL: using classes from <array>, <list>, <map>, ... - .NET framework: using classes from System::Collections Generally speaking, which solution is the best performing in terms of speed and memory usage Are they in the end the same thing, after they are compiled to executable code My apologies if this question is just a silly one. Your answer was very professional. However, since you declared that you are "not too familiar with the MFC containers", I decided to do a ...Show All
