• Windows Forms DataGridView - Copy only selected text

  Hi there. I am having an annoying problem with a DataGridView not linked to any database; I save/load to/from a simple XML file. (Using VSNet 2005 release version - developping in VB.NET) When editing a cell's content, highlighting a portion of text and pressing CTRL-C, the complete cell content is copied to the clipboard. Is there an easy way to only have the selected text copied on CTRL-C I know that I can achieve this by right-clicking on the selection and selecting copy, but for speed, I would like to use the CTRL-C method. Also, why is that when I press SHIFT-SPACE, the complete line is selected Thanks for the help, Zolt Hello, I couldn't find a way to override default be ...Show All

• .NET Development store a file into a database and retrive it

  hi I want to store my generated xml files into a database and then retrive some of them. my data type in sql server database is Image. my algorithm works OK with images but when I try to store xml files I miss a few characters from the end of the retrived xml file. and for some heavier xml files have the same problem with some rubbish characters attached to the end of the file. what's going on file is a file. if my algorithm had problem it shouldn't work with Images either. SQL expects an image column to be binary, an xml file is not binary, it is text utf* . You should not really insert text into a binray field, you should insert it into a text/xml field. If you must sinsert into the same field then yo ...Show All

• Smart Device Development export datagrid to MS Excel

  Hi I have a datagrid that I fill with data, and now I want to export the data in my datagrid or my dataset to an MS Excel file. I have tried the ".WriteXML" but the formatting goes all wrong when I open the XML file in Excel. How can I export the data to an Excel file in such a way that the data and formatting is the same Thanks First of all, DataGrid is just a control, you could not "export" it. In fact, DataGrid is irrelevant in this case. You should save data from actual data source (I presume it's DataTable) in some format Excel understands. The easiest one would be CSV (comma separated values) which is a text file with columns separated by commas and rows on each line. You have to write it manu ...Show All

We have a set of tables that contain the data that is to be compiled and a set of tables that contain post compiled. The Precompiled data takes up most of the space. Here is my question. 1. Is it better to have a filegroups with multiple data files spread over both MSA30's or two very large files one on each drive tray. Thanks.
