• Windows Live Developer Forums Why is </td> filtert?

  I noticed in my HTMLcode that when i use a tablecode, the </td> tag is filtert! I think this is very strange as a common tablecode would be: <table><tbody><tr><td>content</td></tr></tbody></table> After publishing it shows: <table><tbody><tr><td>content</tr></tbody></table> Is there any good reason for this I can't imagine there are any safety issues for that tag. And what will happen if this changes again, as we experience the filtert HTML changes from time to time and we don't understand the reason for some of it (for instance the target="_blank" wich was filtert before and can be used again now!!!)(finally....) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Invalid postback or callback argument when trying to add a Web part

  I was trying to change the lay-out of the shared page of the sharepoint portal. After adding a webpart i got a screen where i selected all the web-parts and after that the startpage of portal did not contain any webparts anymore. When adding new webparts to the startpage of portal the following error occurred. Invalid postback or callback argument. Event validation is enabled using <pages enableEventValidation="true"/> in configuration or <%@ Page EnableEventValidation="true" %> in a page. For security purposes, this feature verifies that arguments to postback or callback events originate from the server control that originally rendered them.

• Windows Forms "The Variable BindingSource is either undeclared.." or a bug

  I've been plagued with the following designer behavior using DataGridView forms in many projects: 1. Open the Data Sources "Edit Data Set". 2. Configure a 'Fill' (or any) query. (Even if there are no actual query changes and it is just re-generated) 3. Save the changes (.XSD file) 4. Close the .XSD window Then my previously fine form has the dreaded red circle-X (sounds like a ranch name). The message is invariably: "One or more errors encountered while loading the designer. blah,blah. The variable 'myBindingSource' is either undeclared or was never assigned. The variable 'myGridViewTextBox is either undeclared or was never assigned..." ...and it lists all of the form's controls. And either ...Show All

• Windows Forms Putting text on an image on a form

  I am an old C/C++ programmer that is trying to learn C# and .net. I need to take text from a .txt file and display it on a form in graphics. I eventually need to save the image to a .jpg file. I created a picturebox (is this the right object to use ) on the main form, opened the .txt file and read in one line at a time. Now I need to put each line of the text into the picturebox area in graphics mode to display it on the screen in the same order as the text in the file. Any suggestions Thank you OldCDude you would have to use the Graphics class to draw a string. Maybe implement the paint event (im not a graphics guru so I am just hoping to guide you). There has been a topic or 2 on how to d ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) how to retrieve values from arraylist using xlinq

  hi all, i'm using xlinq and i got a problem in it.That is how to get values from ArrayList using xlinq .

• SQL Server SSIS Performance

  I am currently in the process of migrating DTS packages to SSIS. I am finding that most of the packages are running faster, but some of them are taking longer to execute. The DTS package copies data from our Production server to Development. It uses a Copy SQL Server Objects Task to copy only the data from about 50 tables. This takes about 3.5 minutes. I created the exact same package in SSIS using the Transfer SQL Server Objects Task and it is running about 5 minutes. Another package I am having this problem with is only copying data from 1 table using a Copy SQL Server Objects Task. This package executes in 19 minutes. I have created the exact same package twice. Once using Transfer SQL Server Objects and once with a data flow task ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System link requirements and tasks

  hi, i created a "MSF for CMMI Process Improvement" project. in this project i created a requirement to manage the requirements for the project. but i do not find anything, to link the requirement with a task. is this possible in tfs it would really hurt if it is not possible. edit: i found the possibility to add a work item to a task. "add related work item" . there i can choose "requirement". but if i choose "requirement" i can just add a new requirement and not an existing one. in our project development we have requirements (mostly defined by the customer) and then we have a number of tasks which are allocated to a requirement. we use an access database to manage these requirements. and now we want to use tfs to do this. but how edit2: ...Show All
