• Windows Forms CheckBox will not change.

  I'm building a dataTable where one of the colums is a boolean value. The dataGrid that goes along with it uses a DataGridBoolColumn. The formating and all works but when I click on the box to change it to an empty or checked box nothing happens until the cell looses focus, (I click somewhere else). To make a change I have to Click once to select the cell. then again to change the value and then I have to click somewhere else for the new value to show. Has anyone seen this problem before I'm using Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 with Studio 2003. Hi, red-ned I'm sorry, I cant catch it. Could you give some problem codes to us, and we can help to check it out what the real problem you've encountered. Thanks ...Show All

Your code is assuming the CreateFont call succeeds. It's never safe to assume. Maybe something like: if (m_D3DFont == null ) { if (! CreateFont()) return; } ...Show All

• .NET Development SharePoint exceptions

  Who is the genius (and I mean that in the most sarcastic way possible) who developed the exception handling for the Microsoft.Sharepoint.dll I received an error that reads: "Cannot complete this action." Well, no kidding! Usually when an exception is thrown, it means that something can't be completed. I've also received such detailed messages as: "An error has occured." Has this been fixed in version 12 Here's what I'm trying to do: Dim s As New Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPGlobalAdmin For Each v As Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPVirtualServer In s.VirtualServers For Each site As SPSite In v.Sites For Each w As SPWeb In site.AllWebs For Each l As ...Show All

• SQL Server Intra-query Paralleism caused your query to deadlock . . .

  We often get the above message from our Sql Server 2000 Transactional Replication Distribution service. How do we implement the OPTION (MAXDOP 1) hint as directed It seems I would have to modify the MS procedures. Can't do that. Any suggestions Michael I originally posted this in the Replication forum but was ignored so I thought that perhaps a more "general" forum would attract a different kind of contributor . . . Are you suggesting that the max parallism for the entire server be changed to 1 Is that the solution Will setting this option affect other queries in the system What are other DBA's doing to solve this problem I am concerned about the performance impact on the other q ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Integration with MSBuild

  Can I use the output from a database project in conjunction with a web setup project that will create the database for an ASP.NET application I need to specify the database name and login details at install time. At present, using ADO.NET, I can’t just call one script to install the database as with ADO.NET, and am restricted to one SQL statement per method call. Any info/links regarding installing databases as part of an ASP.NET deployment would be gratefully received. Thanks, Ben. Hello, I am not clear what you are asking, but I think what you are trying to achieve is to deploy a .SQL file as part of your ASP.NET project build/deploy I have not tried this, but ...Show All

• Visual C++ Debug has different memory?

  Hi, I am trying to create many instances from one application, but every instances should have different event. So every time I execute my application, one instance will create a new event. I use the following lines: string temp = "A"; while(OpenEvent(EVENT_ALL_ACCESS, FALSE, (LPCWSTR)temp.c_str()) != NULL) { char now = temp.at(temp.size()-1); now ++; temp.at(temp.size()-1) = (char)now; } myEvent = CreateEvent(NULL,TRUE,FALSE,(LPCWSTR)temp.c_str()); It maybe not so effective, but it works well (I execute the output exe multiple times and I get different event for every instance) until when I want to debug the code and I run my visual studio in the DEBUG mode, and then I run the executable and I get the same event as the one ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Newbie question - spawning new objects

  Hi folks, Apologies for asking a really simple question in the forums, but I'm hoping someone may be able to help me. I'm basically trying to create a very simple 2D XNA game in a week, from a background of not having programmed anything more complex than a VCR since Spectrum basic - it's for a magazine article, hence the need to cut a few corners when it comes to learning... I have a problem which - I'm sure - the solution will provide me with a Eureka moment in understanding how this is done. I've followed the excellent videos on LearnXNA.com and the built-in tutorials and have figured out how to draw sprites on to the screen and move them around. It's not much, but it's a start... How do I then add in new sprites as the game progr ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Using ADO.NET vNEXT in Vista RC1

  Has anyone tried installing ADO.NET vNext in Vista RC1. Visual Studio does not seem to recognise the EDM Model diagrams, there is no EDM model designer, and there is no EDM model template in the Add Item dialog. However, there are the project templates though for creating a ADO.NET vNEXT projects Does anyone know what settings might not be configured correctly Sounds like your installation is working. :) There are no item templates nor model diagrams, nor is there a model designer in the ADO.NET vNext CTP. We're investigating what it would take to release a prototype model designer that would work with the ADO.NET vNext CTP but we haven't made a decision on that yet. ...Show All
