• Windows Forms Problem with inherits form

  I am trying to modify my existing form to use a new base form. In my new base form, I have added the following property. <DefaultValue(False)> _ Public Property TrainingMode() As Boolean Get Return Me.trainingLabel.Visible End Get Set(ByVal value As Boolean) Me.trainingLabel.Visible = value End Set End Property I use the trainingLabel visibility to indicate whether my system is in training mode.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Does WF support patterns like Simple Merge And Multi Merge?

  Hey Im doing a comparison of serveral workflowframeworks. I need to determine which patterns from www.workflowpatterns.com WF supports. The important part is, we are not allowed to extend the framework to implement / simulate these behaviors. My first concrete question, for know, is whether WF support the patten "Simple Merge" where two branches merge together. can we compare this to the IfElse contruct (link: http://is.tm.tue.nl/research/patterns/simple_merge.htm ) Second. What about multi merge http://is.tm.tue.nl/research/patterns/download/swf/pat_8.swf . Guess i would be imposible with the standard Sequential workflow since it is single threaded. Have anyone created a list that sums up on these patterns in relati ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Data Generation Plan unable to delete tables with foreign keys

  Hi there. I am using the CTP4 of VS for DB professionals and it is awesome.! One question I have is this. I have a database with some 80+ tables. I am only interested in 2 tables. I created a datageneration plan to populate these 2 tables. The IDE picks up all of the correct foreign relationship/constrains and populate the join tables as well. This works great. However, when I run this data generation a second time, I get errors all over. It complaints that it can't delete rows on tables with foreign keys. It seems that it forgets the join relationships that it just populate... I have pull the schema from a production db and created a brand new one on my test server. So initially there is no data on the tables. Is there an option that I ...Show All

• SQL Server Could not apply KB899761 after SQL server 2000 SP4

  I met a problem when I applied SQL2000-KB899761-v8.00.2040-x86x64 package for fixing the memory bug after installed the SQL Server 2000 SP4 in a 2-nodes cluster environment. I have installed the package on one node successfully, but the installation did not apply the same setting to another node, so I have to install it on the member node, however, when I ran the package, it pops up a dialog "This machine does not have a product that matches this installation package". (the cluster resource is running on the same node that running the installation). Could somebody please help to resolve this problem Thanks. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Keypresses in picture box

  i have a small app where users can draw shapes in a picture box using the mouse. I want the 'delete' key, when pressed to delete the current shape. But there is no way (that i can see) to be able to listen to key events for a picture box. Any ideas around this Hi, I could see that there is no keyboard related events for a picture box. If I am not wrong I think you could handle the keypress event of the Form (container of the picture box) and somehow associate to your picture box. Thanks, JDee ...Show All

• Visual C++ Several questions relating to Windows Service creation

  Hi, I actually had several questions that I was wondering if people could help me with: 1. This is probably a stupid question, but I am creating a Windows Service in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 standard edition and I noticed that it appears to default to using managed C++/CLR. I would rather NOT use managed C++ for this application and was looking around for a way to avoid using managed C++. Is there any way to avoid that and to use only native code 2. Along the same line, in said Windows Service I use the type CString. Visual Studio 2005's help files instruct you to include cstringt.h for MFC applications and atlstr.h for non-MFC applications. I have tried using both with the same results. Specifically, it is complaining about t ...Show All
