• Visual Basic Show Forms inside a SplitContainer

  Hi, I think this might sound weird, but I’m working with new VS2005 Pro controls. I have a SplitContainer and I would like to know if there is a way that allows me to show different forms (one at the time) inside my SplitContainer right panel. My SplitContainer is on a MDI form and instead of showing the form above the SplitContainer, it would be nicer to have it inside the SplitContainer panel. is it possible any hint Thanks in advance George George, Try Panel1.Controls.Add(New frmClients) Here's what I do: ' MFBaseForm is a common form others derive from for functionality to talk to the status bar, etc. Dim f As MFBaseForm f = New MFForm1 ' MFForm1 inherits f ...Show All

• Windows Forms Bug / Misunderstanding ColumnChanging Event

  I have a dataset, with an auto number column for the ID. This number starts at -1 and is decremented for new rows (ie so new rows in dataset don't interfere with real rows in the database/dataset). I use the "columnchanging" event to catch when these new rows get their real ID from the dbase. (I have to split up the updates from changed, added and deleted due to referential integrity constraints.) I do the update on the datatable containing only the added rows, this is the only way it can be done. My issue is that when we add a new row to the dataset, and then save it the following sequence occurs. Add new row to ds. Fill from information in gui. Enter data access layer and request save of info. get added rows fro ...Show All

• Windows Forms can't remove or stretch background image in visual basic 6 (sp6)

  i know this is prolly a big newbie question but... i can't seem to remove or stretch a background image on one of my forms in my visual basic 6 project. i added it via picture property in the form's properties and now it says (bitmap) and i can't make it say (none) to clear the picture. thanks in advance Hi, The simplest way to achieve what you require is the following: Create an 'image' control from the toolbox. The image control allows you to select a picture and then specify "Stretch" to true or false using the properties panel. Lets assume that the 'image' control were named Image1 (by default). It is important to note that the 'image' control is different from the 'picture' c ...Show All

• Windows Forms Group policy

  Wrong Section i know, but could not find the right one! Can any one help me in telling me how i use group policy to stop the right mouse button working on the start button. I have stopped it working on the desktop, but it will still work on the start tab, and then allow you to explore. Cheers When you right click the Start button, you can select Open, Explore or Find options. To lock down this option, rename the key [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell] to [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell.lockdown] and rename the key [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell] to [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell.lockdown] . There is nothing magical about the lockdown extension. Don't delete these keys, just rename them. If you ...Show All

• Visual C# Why is there a PDB file in my projects Release folder?

  This is probably a deployment question, but there doesn't seem to be a deployment section in .NET Development Forum. I thought the PDB file was only for debugging purposes, so why is there a PDB file in my bin\Release folder What are the (dis)advantages of including this file in deployment Would it not work to use the debug build (with .pdbs) to analyze the crash dump in your example I am still not convinced that there is a good reason to build .pdbs with a release build.

• SQL Server Alerts and Jobs for transaction log processing

  Scenario: I have an alert defined which monitors the transaction log. It should start a job which should backup the transaction log once the log is 75 percent full. So far so good. The challenge is to give the database name to the command for backing up (in our case it is a external tool) the appropriate transaction log I know, that you can use tokens (A-DBN) to do this. I know, that there is a bug in this area, so tokens are not set correctly in SP1 Question: Is there any trick/alternative to create a workaround Regards Norbert ...Show All
