• Windows Forms MSDataSetGenerator failed

  Working with TableAdapter and MSDataSetGenerator and having recurring problems with an error: "The custom tool 'MSDataSetGenerator' failed. Failed to generate code. Object reference not set to an instance of an object." This error is intermittent and occurs when adding an Insert query. Sometimes, especially after rebooting, I can create the query and it all works. I can then go back to add another query and I get the error. The designer.vb file is deleted as it tries to regenerate. If I comment out the <DbSource> ... </DbSource> XML in the xsd file for the queries and 'Run Custom Tool', the designer.vb file is regenerated fine. Activate the commented out query again and I get the error again. If I have s ...Show All

• Visual Basic FormClosing Event

  Hi there. I have an inherited form hierarchy where the root form captures the FormClosing event, which then invokes a overriden "FormClose" method. The overriden method correctly determines the value of the e.cancel attribute and passes it back to the root FormClosingEvent handler. However, when e.cancel = true the form closing event is not canceled and the form closes anyway. The root form, and all it's children, are children for a MDI form. Can anyone tell me why e.cancel = true in the case doesn't prevent the form from closing Thanks. Here is the declaration of the FormClosing Event handler: Private Sub StandardUIForm_FormClosing( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEve ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System sqlservr.exe eating available resources during a loadtest

  Whe I run a load test and have my storage type set to database I notice that the process sqlserv.exe starts using memory at an alarming rate. I just ran a test and notices that sqlservr.exe is using over 400,000 k of memory. If I set storage type to none I consume much less memory but am unable to view past results. This also prevents me from running with very many virtual user (can't run with more than 50 for ten minutes) for any amount of time. What can be done to fix this problem Chuck, This is the default behavior for SQL server and you might post on a SQL forum regarding ways to limit their memory usage. SQL will use available memory until the system tells it that it needs the memory for other pro ...Show All

• Windows Forms Datagridview in MDI

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to get another websites IP address in Visual Basic

  Hi there, I am currently working on a HOST File editor project in Visual Basic, where the user has to enter the word they want mapped to a certain IP address of a website. However, as many users won't know what an IP address is, nor how to get it, I was wondering if there is any way to retrieve the IP address of a website. I'm guessing it will involve using Domain Name servers right Any help will be much appreciated, RichardHarley I would think something like: Dim hostInfo As IPHostEntry = Dns.GetHostByName(hostString) Console.WriteLine(( "Host name : " + hostInfo.HostName)) Console.WriteLine( "IP address List : " ) Dim index As Integer F ...Show All

• Office Live Development Caching and crunching your JS Files on Office Live

  Office Live has a handler that does both caching and crunching/compression of javascript JS files hosted on our servers. But caching JS files can prevent developers from seeing their changes real-time while they are updating code. And crunching can make debugging script more difficult to read too. So we’ve developed a few techniques to deal with our JS file caching and crunching and want to share them with you. Circumvent JS file caching The easy way to avoid caching of your JS files is to rename the file extension to something different, for example JSN or JSX. But if you are using a nice JavaScript editor like SharePoint Designer, you want to keep the advantages of intellisense, auto-complete and code ...Show All

• SQL Server query engine error

• Windows Forms Dragging and Dropping an Object

  Hi guys, I'm trying to determine if it is possible to drag and drop an object between two controls. I have a class called AudioTrack which inherits ListViewItem so that it can go straight into a listview. It has strings for the Artist and Title, and a byte array for the track data itself. I have another control (a player) which can load an AudioTrack class and play it. Is it possible to drag the AudioTrack from a ListView onto the control, and have all the data intact I've already got it starting the dragdrop operation, but can't get the player to accept it - I'm getting stuck in the DragDrop event at e.Data.GetData() and don't know what to put as the format.
