• Visual Studio Express Editions 3-pane explorer: docking existing split container in new split container

  I would like to create a 3-pane explorer-type form. The upper part of the form will be the standard split container with a TreeView on the left and ListView on the right. The lower part of the form will contain additional information about the item selected in the upper part. The best way to do this seems to be to have a split container with a horizontal divider, and dock another split container (with the default vertical divider) in the upper half. I know I can create this from scratch in by designer mode, but the Explorer Form template gives me almost all I need, and I would like to start from that. The only thing I need to change is to add a split container with a horizontal divider and then dock the Explorer Form's existing split co ...Show All

• .NET Development Reflection

  Hi, What is Reflection What is use and where i can use it Any example pls Thanks Seshu Reflection is a fature of .Net through which you can find information about assemblies.

• Windows Forms Interrupt BeginInvoke

  Hello, in the last two hours I tried to understand if it is possible to terminate from the calling thread a method called asynchronously using the BeginInvoke pattern, but I was not able to find any solutions. Can you help me to get an answer to this question Thanks in advance, Marco Practically you are saying that there is no way to retrieve the thread created with the BeginInvoke from the Thread Pool. So probably I have to use the Thread class or the BackgroundWorker in order to have the possibility to stop the thread from the calling form ...Show All

• Visual Basic Help! VBScript text file read/write adding garbage on Japanese windows...

  I have a very basic VBScript that's launched from our WISE Installer that does a search and replace on a text file on the user's system. The script works fine on US Windows, but for some reason on Japanese Windows, it inserts hex "81 00 45 00 BF 00" before the 3rd byte at the beginning of the first line in the file. I've searched the net and seen issues regarding reading and writing binary, but nothing about text... The main code is thus: Set FileSystemObject = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") LocaleLCID = WshShell.RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\Locale") function UpdateVersionNumbers(sFileName, SearchText, ReplaceText) ...Show All

• SQL Server Help with Join Compatibility

  I was hoping someone could help me or put me on the right path to re-writing the join portion of this sql query in ANSI form for compatibility level 90. Im just not sure how to handle the three join statements and if they should go at the top in the FROM statement (dont know if that would mess up the rows produced).

• SQL Server RDA with Identity column.

  Hi Everyone: I am new to Mobile programming. I am now working on a mobile project. I encounter an issue when I sync the data: cause I can't modify the schema, so I have to use RDA instead of Merge replication on sql server 2005. However, There is an identiy column on each table I will pull them down to local mobile database. And I will use those identity columns to connect tables.

And there would be generate same identity value when users sync data. How can I avoid those issues If you have any good ideas, please help me out so that I can meet ...Show All

• Windows Forms Combobox Databound Value Showing Up

  I have a combobox bound to data as follows Company Name (Display Member) ------- CompanyID (Value Member) Company1 ------------ 1 Company2 ------------ 2 Company3 ------------ 3 The Selected Value is bound to the CompanyID in a data list, so that when I select a record whose CompanyID is say 2, then 'Company2' should show up in the ComboBox; however, '2' shows up in the ComboBox. The wierd thing is, if i manually change the values in the ComboBox, then switch through the data, the names start showing up correctly (rather than the CompanyID values). Any ideas Hi, Use same dataset and create relationships for binding the same dataset to different controls and use current position changed event of binding ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Static Data Management

  Hello, This is probably a stupid question, but I'm starting to play around with Data Generation scripts for unit tests in my database project, and I have a query about what I would call static or system data. For example, the data generation scripts take care of user data, but what about tables of types or the equavalent of enums for instance, a UserType table which contained data such as: UserTypeId | Description ---------------------------------- 1 | Standard User 2 | System administrator 3 | Editor Or similar The IDs would have to stay constant thoughout the system, so either I create a deployment script that creates the data or use the data generation tools. If I use a deployment script, will (1) the data ...Show All
