• Visual Basic Visual Basic Upgrade Wizard Error

  Hello: I try to open a project coded in Visual Basic V6 with Visual Basic.Net(2005). The Visual Basic Upgrade Wizard opens and after a few screens displays an error message: Error - Not able to bind to the source. Thanks for any suggestions... jes If your running the upgrade tool on a 32-bit machine check to see if you have a registry HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Wow6432 in your registry. If so temporarily rename and try the upgrade tool again. The tool is getting confused by the existence of this key on a non-64 bit machine and cannot find its registry settings. After the upgrade tool runs remember to go back and reset the name in the registry Let me know if that helps. ...Show All

• SQL Server Automatic drilldown

  H i! I'm experiencing whit a strange behaviour in reporting services and drilldown: I’ve a report with a graphic and nothing else. If I publish the report through a Windows Server 2003 R2 I can click on a element in the graph and a new report is shown. But if I publish the report by a windows XP Pro I see the report correctly but if I click on a element in the graph nothing happens. Does it depend on the SSRS configuration or is the behaviour OS related Thanks in advance. Alex ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server Not An Option As a Data Source

  I'm in VS 2005 trying to access a database running on MS Sql Server Express 2005 (local machine). In VS i choose Data | Connect to Database | and then i select change on the Add Connection Dialogue box. For some reason I'm only given two options which are the following: MS Access Database File or MS SQL Server Database file. I've seen options in books showing MS SQL Server but that doesn't show as one of my options. I'm running the Server express locally and can access it through my Management Studio Express as localmachine\sqlexpress. Is this a limitation of Express or do i need to adjust some options in the IDE Any help would be great. jeremy hi Jeremy, it's a limitation of VS.Express.. the Server ...Show All

• Visual Basic bit addition with control: checked list box

  this has been bugging me for awhile. ok. i have a checked list box with numerous (about 15) flags that need to be set in order for those things will work (or not work) in the game. the flags are arranged in bit order (1,2,4,8,16,etc). what is supposed to happen: if index0 is checked, it adds 1 to the bit sum [dmflags], if unchecked, it subtracts 1 from sum. if index1 is checked, it adds 2 to the bit sum [dmflags], if unchecked, it subtracts 2 from sum. etc.. what IS happening: if index0 is checked, it subtracts 1 to the bit sum [dmflags], if unchecked, it subtracts 2 from sum. if index1 is checked, it subtracts 2 to the bit sum [dmflags], if unchecked, it subtracts 3 from sum. if any other index is the same (in pairs) code: ...Show All

• SQL Server Why is SQL 2005 Express much slower than Developers Edition?

  I'm working on upgrading VB6-based application to employ SQL Server 2005 Express (it currently uses MSDE). I'm using the following connection string - Provider=SQLNCLI;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=my_user;Password=my_password;Initial Catalog=my_database;Data Source=my_pc;Packet Size=8000 The application runs exceedingly slow. As soon as I uninstall SQL Server 2005 Express edition and install SQL Server 2005 Developers edition speed increases in 5 to 10 times. Once I uninstall SQL Server 2005 Developers edition and install SQL Server 2005 Express edition the application's speed drops again. I have repeated this "cycle" several times: install express -> running slow -> removed express, installed developers -> running ...Show All

• .NET Development Session - Last Accessed Time

  I am using .NET 2003. My application uses inProc mode and I have set the timeOut value to 30 min. Every 10 min of inactivity, I have to alert the user by a message by specifying the inactivity period. How do I find the last accessed time in inProc mode for a particular session Please suggest a way to resolve this. Thanks You can not do this on the server as once the request is complete the server and the client no longer communicate. You'll have to do this through client-side scripts. In one project that I worked on we did it by using a timer in JavaScript on the client. We set the timeout to a reasonable value (in your case 10 minutes). When the timer elapsed we did some work. On postback the timer goes away and se ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can C# read a concatanated string as a variable name?

  Hey, I have a list of variables (var1, var2, var3...etc.) each containing a string. I need to write a function that gives the value of one of the variables. i.e. function getValue(x) // where x is any integer { Console.WriteLine ("var" + x); } But when I do things along those lines it displays "var2" or whatever x was, but not the VALUE of var2. Can I make C# read the string "var2" as the variable name var2 I hope this post is clear enough for everyone to get what I'm trying to do. I only started programming last week so this all seems very complicated to me! Thanks in advance for your help, Mandir. ...Show All

• Windows Forms KeyDown Event, IsInputKey not working (C#)

  (C#, VS 2005) - I have a form, with a few radiobuttons on it. I want to do some stuff when the arrow keys are pressed but the event isn't raised. I found on MSDN that you should override IsInputKey, but I did that and it doesn't work (IsInputKey is never called). Another problem (may have something to do with it) is that i can't find a way to stop the arrow keys from scrolling through the radiobuttons. thanks in advance I know this will sound crazy, but try the KeyUp event instead ... I've found that that works for some keys where KeyDown doesn't. If that has no effect, I may have another suggestion ... lemme know. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Columns in DataGridView re-order themselves after build

  I am using Visual Studio 2005 to develop a Windows Forms application. I apologize in advance for including information that may seem irrelevant to my question, but I feel that it might give someone a better idea of how to fix the problem. One of the forms in my application contained a tab control with eight different tabs, each of which contained an individual DataGridView control. The form also contained a table layout panel with 12 labels and 12 text boxes. I created columns for the DataGridViews in the forms designer. The columns each had a value assigned to the DataPropertyName property, which corresponded to a field in a binding source object to which the datagridview could bind at runtime. Each DataGridView set its datasource p ...Show All

• .NET Development jro.refreshcache on oledbconnection??? (provider=Jet)

  Looking for a c# method of performing JRO.RefreshCache() on a newly opened OleDbConnection where the Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 JRO.RefreshCache() on an ADODB Jet Connection is shown at this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/200300/ Thanks in advance to anyone with the answer to this one. Thanks for your reply and the reference. As it says in that article, it appears that "Other connections are unable to see these changes until Jet flushes them to the database", therefore the need for JRO.RefreshCache() if separate connections to the same database are opened in separate processes. Unfortunately, it looks like there is no mechanism for performing this function against an OleDbConnection. ...Show All
