• Windows Forms Custom forms designer ToolBoxItem dragging is failing in 2.0

  My issue is quite similar to Greg's: http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/ProductFeedback/viewFeedback.aspx FeedbackId=62c8cb67-2f23-44fa-b8d5-1e53fe9fe3eb and also SasaJ's: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=318518&SiteID=1 I have a custom forms designer that was working beautifully in .NET 1.1 and is now experiencing issues in 2.0. Basically I have a custom toolbox, with a custom ToolBoxItem that is dragged from the toolbox to my root component (a form), which has a designer inherited from DocumentDesigner. I experience the same issue as SasaJ as far as the OnDragEnter and OnDragLeave being fired one after the other rapid fire. This in turn leads to the nasty flicker as described in Greg's thread, above. The O ...Show All

• Visual Basic Program to execute on one machine only

  Hello, My problem is that I want to deploy my program onto a 'thumb drive' and sell it that way and I need the program to only run off that drive. It is a small program that can easily be copied and run by anyone so I thought that if I could somehow 'lock' it to the small USB drive then that would solve my problem. Because some games require a CD to be in a drive before they will run I figured that that would be something that I could do, my problem is finding any help in how that might be accomplished. Can anyone point me in the right direction Thank you very much Bill Langston making the usb drive read-only would only keep people from writing to the drive, it would not keep them from copying the program contained ...Show All

• Visual C# Events in C# are declared in different way from VB

  Why don’t we have in C# events declared with “Handles butError.Click at the end After the Sub butError_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _ ByVal e As System.EventArgs) like we have in VB. Here is what I mean: In VB events re declared like this: Private Sub butError_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _ ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles butError.Click But in C#, it s like this: private void butError_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) Without handles …..etc Thanks Different design goals, I'd guess. In the case of C#, MSFT probably needed to make the language syntax as familiar as possible to Java, C++ and 'C' programmers with an absolute minimum of new language keywords to learn.

• Windows Forms Threads and BackGroundWorker

  Hello I have a form to convert data from a FoxPro database to SQL2005 database. Because Foxpro tables are not normalized, i must create a Method specific for each table so i can insert the values correctly in multiple tables in SQL. It seems crazy, i know, but it's the only way to achieve this correctly and guarantee the data is going to be well written in SQL with FK constraints and everything. I want to be able to execute many of this methods at the same time. I created a UserControl that contains a Label, ProgressBar and checkboxes. Every table to convert has one of this usercontrol attached so you can keep track of the progress of every table in the conversion process. All this works perfectly fine IF i don't use Threads (my g ...Show All

• Windows Forms Adding and using C++ class to Visual C++ project

  Hi, Have some really stupid questions about the Visual C++ 2005 environment that I hope someone can help me with... I have a Visual C++ 2003 book but there seams to be alot differences with the 2005 version. I am new to Managed C++. I have previously used C# a lot and I wanted to learn more about .NET. I have created a Managed C++ project and I have created a Windows Form with some components. I have no problem writing code in this Windows Form class. My problem starts when I add a class to my project. When I add a new class in a C# project I am used to the class adding itself in the same namespace and with the class definition and everything. I just start coding and there are no problems. With Managed C++ it is different I have n ...Show All

• SQL Server Port Usage

    The powers that be at my company have decided to redisign our network.  The big change is that they are completely separating the two domains, whereas I guess right now one runs inside of the other. What this means to me is that I need to get a document together which shows all the connections between different SQL servers, web pages and services that I've created over the last year. My question is, what ports do all of these things use to communicate with SQL Server 2000   I believe the only connections right now are using ADO/ADO.NET,  or straight SQL Linked Servers.   Ah, each SQL Server instance uses its own ports--it's not up to ADO.NET and (generally) one does not address the IP:port when ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF Architectural Question

  Looking for architectural suggestions here: My application has a document (non-xml) with objects (about 25 different types) representing items on a page (think PowerPoint or Visio here).  I want to display the items on a page and I would like to make something to edit the objects as well. Here's the question:  How would you lay this out   One idea is to create one ContentControl for each item and assign the document object to the Content property of the ContentControl. Another would be to create one ContentControl for all the objects and use DataTemplates to govern their representations.  The drawback here is that this is less flexible.  I might want to use the documents in different contexts (s ...Show All
