• Windows Forms Multiple controls bound to one datasource

  I have a winform with two comboBoxes. I have a DataTable populated by a list of Employees. I've made a SelectedIndex change event for both comboBoxes with different functionality. But for some reason, whenever I change the selection in one combo, the second is combo is somehow synchronized with the other and that too points to the same selection then. Is this something to do with how dataTables work or something to do with how controls work How do I unsychronize the controls whilst keeping them bound to the same dataTable I'm not sure if I am posting in the absolutely right place but am hoping someone can redirect me incase this is the wrong place to be. http://safari.awprofessional.com/0321268 ...Show All

• SQL Server Metadata cleanup has deleted metadata at the Subscriber incorrectly?

  Hi, We have Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP1 based merge replication application. This system consist of 1 publisher/distributor and about 700 subscribers. Publisher is MS SQL Server 2005 standard SP1 and subscribers are mostly MS SQL Server Express SP1s. We started this system in September last year with migrating data as region based with one area at time. Everything went well until January 2007 when over 500 users were using new system. What is even strange that most errors comes on areas which were moved to new system on week number 2 on 2007 (8.1.2007->) I have double and cross checked that these publications have exact the same parameteters as working publications.

• Visual C# Trouble with a BackgroundWorker

  Hello everyone, having a little trouble with threading and I hoped someone would be so kind as to point me in the correct direction. I am attempting to create a multi threaded application in which each thread can spit output to a single TextBox. I understand that the BackgroundWorker is the preferred method to use when multiple threads are trying to access the same UI elements (Controls). Here is my problem: I have attempted to follow instructions and use the RunWorkerCompleted event handler to update the contents of the text box, but for some reason it appears that that event handler is not being run by the thread that controls (created) the UI. I'm confused here becuase I thought the whole point was that this event handler was called by ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to get menu's theme data?

  I have been trying to get menu's theme data via OpenThemeData(hwnd, L"Menu"). If I pass menu's handle(get it by FindWindow) as hwnd, the API function returns NULL; If I pass main frame's handle as hwnd, the fuction returns a non-zero hTheme. But GetThemeColor and GetThemeSysColor calls all fail. In fact, I wonder menu's normal color and highlight color of Aero theme or other themes. Does anyone know the problem Thanks! Check out MenuStyle in AeroStyle.xml in the SDK, it includes a few color hints that you can retrieve by GetThemeColor(TMT_FILLCOLORHINT). MenuStyle is the base class for Menu. Unfortunately, there is no color hint for PopupItem, so the only things you can do w ...Show All
