• Visual Studio Visual Studio freezes

  I have Visual Studio.NET 2003 Professional. It was working just fine a couple of days back and all of a sudden the IDE has become so slow to start up. The logo comes and freezes for a about 6-7 minutes before it allows me to chose the project to open. After that everything else works just fine. I did a repair and a reinstall but the problem still exists. Please help. Thanks. scorpsteals wrote: Holding the left shift key didn't help.

• Visual Basic DataSet or DataTable???

  Hello My experienced VB friends, What is the best way to code my application Using the DataSet or the DataTable. I mostly use 1 table. Thank you guys, Hello, Back in the old days, DataSet came with a bunch of methods that DataTable didn't have (ReadXml(), WriteXml(), Merge(), etc.). With .NET 2.0, the DataTable became just about as powerful as the DataSet and if you're only working with a single table, you should get along fine without the DataSet. I would use a DataTable until/if a reason pops up to use a DataSet. It will make your code that much simpler and that's a good thing. ...Show All

• Community Chat Free Lists - Just a Q & D app I needed.

  http://www.barrysumpter.com Free Lists is the only app there written in vb.net. Don't worry about the other products. I've only sold 1 of each. I have no fantasies or pretentions regarding sales. Best intentions to offer Free Lists as a usable product developed in my spare time over a three day period. Standard, evironments, interfaces change so often I've given up trying to conform. For me, vb.net has been an absolute nightmare. Any features left out are from frustration only. Any positive comments are welcome. Any positive constructive suggestions may very well end up in the next version. All the best to everyone. My ISP community forum informed me of a way to fire IE7 Without Add-ons.

• Windows Forms Create a single instance of a Dataset to share across forms

  Paul Ballard MVP answered a posting on how to share Dataset across forms. He gave a great and simple solution but I wanted to extend it. When using the GUI it tries to create a new instance of the dataset. So the first thing I want is it to load the instance into the shared variable so any calls to currentDS would use the current instance. I did this by modifing the constructor call. The next issue I ran into (this is the one I’m having problems with) is when the auto generated code tries to create a new DS. Example: I create a new form and I drag a datasource Datagridview to the new form. The code creates a new instance. Any ideas how to modify the typed dataset to check for any instances and if found use them inst ...Show All

• .NET Development DateTime.Parse(<dateobjectvar>.ToString()) exception

  After installing our ASP.NET (currently still 1.1) application for years successfully on different systems in different countries (even far east and arabic) we finally came across a 'seemingly english' system (installed somewhere in Luxembourg :-), where the line above throws an exception. Although I fixed the problem by using explicit ISO date formatting strings I tried finding related issues, because the construction should NOT throw errors according to the documentation. The date string being parsed looks like this: "27/11/2006 10:19:12 PM" Could this be related to http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-1254179.php  which seems to indicate that console apps react different then ASP.NET apps, which may be ...Show All

• Visual Basic Moving a form

  Hi there, Currently in my application I have made it so I have no form border. I have put in my application.exit and minimize code but I'm wondering what the code is to move the form around ONLY when pressing down on a button/control. Thanks, AliQ Hi, I've been playing with this which moves the FORM to 250,250 on button1 being clicked. The second Sub will move the FORM around when you click a mouse button on it, but i'm still working on doing this while a button is down. Me.DragDrop may be the way to go ahead with this, i'm not sure.

• SQL Server SET IDENTITY_INSERT Question

  I want to use the SET IDENTITY_INSERT ON command so that I can insert a bunch of records and establish the links myself based on the ids i used. I have a table with an identity column which is a FK in another table. I need to insert into table one, then carry that id to table 2 as a fk. There is no unique value for me to tie to so I wanted to ReSeed the identity column to the number above what I am going to insert and then turn off identity insert so I can insert between the present spot and where I reseeded to. This will allow me to know the id's and assign them myslef. My question is two fold. 1. When I set Identity_Insert On does it only affect my batch, or the connection, or the whole server Essentially, when ON can other peopl ...Show All

• SQL Server Why is the ODBC Driver in SQL Server 2005 less capable than 2000?

  I'm importing data from a PrimeBase SQL server via ODBC, with SQL Server 2000 I can just import the tables after giving it the DSN and other info, it'll quite happily grab the table names and ask me which ones to import, and everything is fine. However , I'm now evaluating SQL Server 2005, and the exact same operation is impossible, the import wizard refuses to supply me with the table names, and forces me to have to write a query, which is annoying when you don't know all the table names in the first place. I've looked up the issue in the KB which informs me: It is just because that SSIS uses ADO.NET to access ODBC data source. (SSIS is built on .NET). When creating the ODBC DSN, you can use whatever ODBC driver you like. Thx, - ...Show All
