• Windows Forms About winform UI like options in vs

  I want to make a options window like option window in vs. when I click node in tree view leftside, the content on the right panel will changed. I get to way, one is use groupbox, the other is usercontrol. but I think all of them is too complex if there is a lot of options. Is there any suggestion thanks To make your own Options dialog like VS has, put a TreeView control on the left populate it with your options items, which include some kind of key to identify them uniquely when the user clicks on one of them. Based on this key, you can then load up/show the corresponding user control with options for that item, and bind the fields to your application settings.

• Visual Studio warning CS1616: Option '(option)' overrides attribute '(attribute)' given in a source file or added module

  I can't find information on clearing "warning CS1616: Option 'keyfile' overrides attribute 'System.Reflection.AssemblyKeyFileAttribute' given in a source file or added module" At length I was able to find the page http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/cscomp/html/vctbsCompilerErrorsSC0001ThroughSC9999.asp on the Microsoft MSDN web site, but the error is not listed. (Actually, no errors are listed there, but that's a different matter). I can suppress the warning by putting 1616 in the list of warnings to suppress for the project, but I don't want to do this until I understand what it is. Does anyone know what it means Rick Harrison That you specify an strong naming key file on your proj ...Show All

• SQL Server Problems installing Reporting Services

  Hi Folks, I want to download Reporting Services for SQL Server Express Edition but I can't find it. It seems to be in Analysis Services but when I run SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE I don't find any mention of Reporting Services.

I'd be grateful for any and all suggestions. Thanks a lot. Barry Hi Andrea, Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, you told me what to do but not how to do it so I couldn't follow your advice.

• Commerce Server UPDATING individual products through the Commercer Server adapters

  Here is a chronologically reversed conversation between me and Alan F on UPDATING individual products through the Commercer Server adapters. If anyone has any insights please respond.... Alan I tried both your suggestions, 1) Scenario 1 - I updated the lastModifiedDate (I hope this this what you meant by the Timestamp) 2) Scenario 2 – I took out the lastModifiedDate altogether (this did not appear in the ‘new’ message and the ‘update’ message) Note: the lastModifiedDate here is the //OrderGroupCollection/Catalog/@lastModifiedDate . Import mode is already "Incremental". … however I still get - Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_FolicaBase_CatalogH'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.FolicaBase ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How to deploy only one project on the PDA when working with multiple projects in a solution?

  Dear ppl...I have got 3 projects in a solution inside VS.NET 2005. 2 of them are class libraries and one of them is an exe. When i run the exe project from VS 2005.NET, it deploys all the 3 projects on the PDA in 3 separate folders and takes alot of time and its so annoying for debugging purpose. Is there a way to deploy only the exe project on the PDA Regards Nabeel Farid You can use the Configuration Manager to deside which projects inside a solution you want to build and deploy to the device. You can find it in the Build menu. If you want all of them to be deployed to the same directory you need to specify this in all of the three projects. You can change the location on the device by right-clicking the pro ...Show All

• SQL Server Implementing Transaction in SSIS Package - [Execute SQL Task] Error: Failed to acquire connection "<ConnectionName>".

  I have a simple SSIS package with three "Execute SQL Tasks". I am using ADO.Net Connection to execute SPs on a DB server. When I execute this package It works fine. So far so good.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Calculating the height (in mm) of a text line in Microsoft Word

  I'm making a program, in VB.NET, that creates and fills a table in a Microsoft Word document. Therefore I need a method to calculate the exact height, in millimeters, of a text line written with a certain font, at a certain size. Searching the Internet I've found this: Private Function GetFontHeight(ByVal FontName As String, _ ByVal FontSize As Single) As Single Dim myGraphics As Graphics = Me.CreateGraphics() Dim myFont As Font = New Font(FontName, FontSize) myGraphics.PageUnit = GraphicsUnit.Millimeter Return myGraphics.MeasureString("Ag", myFont).Height * 0.9 ' <<< STRANGE!!!

• Visual J# Two embedded resources, one is multi-language java resources

  Hi; I need to have two .NET embedded resources in my dll. One is a resx file created by vjsresgen and includes java resource files for 22 different locales.

How can I make this work thanks - dave Hi Dave, If i understand your problem correctly then your default locale is Spanish Mexico and you have resource file for Spanish only as a part of embedded resource in a dll. When you make a call for getBundle, you get an exception. Based on this understanding i worked with this ...Show All
