• Visual Studio Team System Schema Compare - Possible Bug

  I am comparing a database to a project. One of the objects in my project has an error in it. When I do the compare, DBPro seems to treat the object in the project with the error as not there because the results of the compare show that it needs to be added to the project. Is this W.A.D Thanks - Amos. Alle wrote: ... therefore as far as compare is concerned it does not exist. Hi Amos as fas as COMPARE is concerned the object does not exist. For the project it does exist (there is a file xxxxx.sql). That it doesn't exist for compare is wanted, you certainly don't want to deploy an object with errors. Yes, the caveat is that the other way around won' t work either. I think it is reasonable ...Show All

• Windows Forms Delete a row programmatically in DataGridView

  How can I delete a newly added row with code in a DataGridview I cannot find any delete method in any of the features of the DataGridView. I test for correct data in the _RowValidating event that sets cancel to true. But when the user leaves the row without correcting the value, I set e.cancel = True. But the row is still there with the invalid value in one of the cells. I want to delete the row if the data are not correct and the user navigates away from the row. Can this be done Is RowValidating event the correct place to do the delete How and where should I do it The DataGridView is bound to a binding source which is in turn bound to a datatable.

• SQL Server SQLCE team: Call to Get___ methods entail boxing?

  Greetings - It appears in tests that the calls to the type specific Get___ [e.g. GetInt32()]  methods of the System.Data.SqlCeClient.SqlCeResultSet type result in an internal unboxing from some internal storage of values. I've been calling these methods diligently to avoid the boxing tax... Can you confirm this behavior If this is the case, will you be improving the internals or would it be better for me to wrap the native interface myself to avoid this -rory How important is performance Are you loading a very large table with a small memory, slow desktop Is this a real time application I can understand the issue when doing this operation with a mobile device - like on my IPAQ - and as CE is ...Show All

• SQL Server Receive multiple FTP files

  Is there a way to get more than one file with a single ftp task in SQL 2005 I need to get 5 files from one server. They are in two different directories is that makes any difference. Right now I have a separate task for each but would like to have one task if possible. Thanks Bill, we actually use a table for our connection (directories, files, etc.) for FTP's and loop through the table replacing the FTP properties (in the FTP task) with the info from the table. If you did this, you could read the connection info into a recordset. Add a ForEach task and place the FTP task within the ForEach container. The recordset info then drives the connection info for the FTP task... Since you mention tw ...Show All

• Visual C# missing app.config in vs2005

  Hi, I'm wondering how can i open (or create) an appconfig in VS2005. As I remember, in VS2003 it was created with the project, but in VS 2005 it is not (or somehow it is hidden). How can I create/access it (Or there is a new way in VS2005 to manage some settings ) Thanks Oscarfh wrote: Ahh ok, and this settings file is a XMl document Yes, the file which is created, is app.config, Visual Studio will just let you edit your settings through a data grid. Any settings you add/change in this grid will be stored in app.config, and Visual Studio will create a special Settings class, which will let you access those settings through its properties (you get intellisense and all).

• Windows Forms How to create dockable windows?

  Hello, Can somebody guide me in how to create dockable windows, I mean I want to make something like Solution Explorer, Class Explorer, ToolBox, etc. Thanks As far as I know, .NET (at least up to 2.0) does not yet provide docking windows support. Instead you'll have to use a third party solution. There are several commercial vendors out there (search for docking windows .NET). There's also a pretty good free docking windows implementation called Dock panel Suite, available from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dockpanelsuite/ Documentation is pretty minimal though, so if you need help, pay one of the commercial companies a few hundred $ for their implementation.

• Visual Studio Team System Undoing a changeset?

  How do you back out of a changeset   I was experimenting with branches and merging and I made on a change on a branch when I intended the change for the trunk version.  BTW, I can see this being a problem because the VS editor MDI tabs only give a filename (not directory) and so does the solution explorer.  It would be nice if there were some visual cue to indicate that a solution you have loaded is not the "primary" version you work with but a branch instead. One nice side-effect of having "revert" on a changeset is that if the changeset updated many files, you can undo it all in one fell swoop. I wasn't able to come up with a procedure to simulate the missing 'revert' functionality other th ...Show All
