• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Loading Resources from another assembly

  Hi, My application has a plugin architecture so that you can add support for different types of data.

  This is my code I'm working with. I'm trying to use the sum from the lhGal to show in lhGal2.Text.

• Visual Studio Separate buttons fire same event - HELP ME PLEASE

  I created a toolbar in Addin and have added 3 buttons. 1) I want 3 events for these 3 buttons. However, my code fires all the 3 events always.

• .NET Development Data binding controls in Visual Web Developer, list boxes, combo boxes etc.

  In looking a the Data Controls offered in Visual Web Developer I don't think they will work with they type of layout I would like to use for my web based application. I have a couple of questions surrounding this. I have the understanding, at this point, that the common controls such as combo boxes and list boxes cannot be connected to the SQL data base so that they retrieve and update the database as The Data Controls do. One; If this is so why If nothing else, this would be a good question to ask to learn about and come to understand the whole system. Two; maybe they can some how Where do I go to learn about doing this Kurt ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Cannot connect to SQL Server Express for the life of me

  I am pulling my hair out trying to connect to a SQL Server 2005 Express database in Visual C# Express 2005. It seems like it should all be a simple process, but it's amazing to me how frustrating this is. I have a SQL Server 2005 database on my machine, I'm going to Data > Add New Data Source in C# Express, I'm navigating to the Data folder in the SQL Server program files dir and trying to connect to the .mdf file, but I keep getting stuck trying to create the connection. For some reason my instance is MSSQLSERVER rather than SQLEXPRESS, but I already changed my config to reflect that. I've tried doing User Instance on/off, tried windows auth vs sql server auth, tried turning on named pipes and TCP access (with permissions given to 127. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Passing parameters from the workflow to the host example request??

  WF Gurus, I am using XOML only state workflow from ASP.NET client (WF 3.0). I need to pass output parameter to the host ASP page before WorkflowCompleted event executes. Can someone please provide a code example of how this could be done Thanks in advance, John Portnov I understand that you have a property on an activity that you want the host to get. I also understand that you don't need to communicate something from the local service. I assume you are executing some part of the workflow and need to get data back for your page display, but that the workflow is not complete. What I am telling you though, is that you should use a local service to communicate to the host. That is the mechanism for communicating data fro ...Show All

• Windows Forms Changing DataMember shown in DataGridView

  Hi, I have 3 tables and on the click of a button I want to switch the table shown as a DataMember in the DataGridView to that of another. I realise you can change the DataMember by using DataGridView::DataMember = "" but this doesn't update the columns shown; I want the DGV to change the columns shown to those in the 2nd DataMember, and show certain records from that member. How does one do this I know you can clear columns and add them, but I don't know how to populate them with the data - I figure there must be some way just to switch the DataMember and grab all the columns and data from that, rather than adding columns manually. Thanks in advance, IxxI Hi, Your 3 tables are probably contai ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Package Configurations

  Hi, Within the SSIS package i am currently developing I have a number of variables relating to folder locations. I have added these to a SQL configuration package as i'd like to be able to change these prior to the SSIS package being executed. I plan to launch the package by calling a SQL Agent job from a web page. On this web page i'd like to be able to change the values in the SQL database so that the package runs with User specified folder locations. If anyone has done this before i'd appreciate if you could suggest how best to accomplish this. At present i'm thinking of just interogating the created database but as there are no keys etc set up this may not make updating the table easy. Many thanks, Grant ...Show All

• SQL Server DATEADD with 8 byte int?

  I have a bigint column called "MillisecondsSince1970" that I need to convert to a date - SSIS is erroring out when I use DATEADD with the 8 byte int (if I use 4 byte it works but the column is bigger than 4 byte). The error is really lame: [Derived Column [79]] Error: The "component "Derived Column" (79)" failed because error code 0xC0049067 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "Date" (100)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component. Anyone have a way around it... a VB.NET equivalent of DATEADD or something else I can do Phil that is an excellent idea...

• Visual C++ About Templates

  Hello to all, My question is about templates. As I know (and correct me if I am wrong) when I declare a template class with a class T type parameter, then the compiler generates prototypes of the specif class for each different type parameter. For example: template<class T> class CppProperty { T m_Val; ... }; if in my program make the folowing declarations: CppProperty<BOOL> m_bVisible; CppProperty<float> m_fScale; The compiler will first create the folowing class prototypes: class CppProperty01//a name, whatever { BOOL m_Val; ... }; and class CppProperty02//a name, whatever { float m_Val; ... }; Am I correct so far My question is: if the t ...Show All
