• Windows Forms Modify ConnectionString

  Hi, I searched, but couldn't find an answer. Is it possible to modify a connection string at runtime This code throws an exception, not sure how to fix. string connectionString = this .txtConnectionString.Text; ConnectionStringSettingsCollection col = ConfigurationManager .ConnectionStrings; ConnectionStringSettings section = col[ "MyConnection" ]; section.ConnectionString = connectionString; The last line throws this: System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException was unhandled Message="The configuration is read only."

• Windows Forms ComboBox Binding with a Blank Selected Index Initially???

  I'm making a search engine windows app that contains ComboBoxes that are bound to my SQL Server database. It would be so much better that once my ComboBox is bound that I could have no item selected (so a blank) incase they don't want to include that in their search but I can't seem to do that without putting in a blank record in my database and that seem soooooo wrong. The only answer I can think of is maybe populate an RA with the data leaving index[0] a blank and then binding to the RA. But I don't even know if I can bind to an RA. If anyone thinks this is a good idea I'd love a code example. If anyone has any ideas, workarounds or just a simple answer that I've missed, it would be greatly appreciated. I know the solution is out t ...Show All

• Visual C++ nafxcwd.lib library linker error LNK2019 - help

  Hello experts, Below is the small program I am having issues with. It compiles successfully.

• SQL Server Strict Transaction Nesting Bug with CLR

  Dear all, I am constantly running into this error when calling CLR functions from triggers (even when the triggers are CLR functions themselves): The context transaction which was active before entering user defined routine, trigger or aggregate "[name of CLR sp]" has been ended inside of it, which is not allowed. Change application logic to enforce strict transaction nesting. However, there is no cyclic nesting going on here. In fact, the error only appears when the CLR function is writing to the database. Only executing SELECT statements inside the statements doesn't freak out the SQL server (2005 SP1 in my case). I am not ending any transaction at all. This error shows up in many places: as exceptions from ASP.NET web pages, ...Show All

• Visual C# Microsoft, when VS.NET 2005 will become faster?

  VS.NET 2003 was a good tool; it couldn’t handle very large projects, or a solution with a lot of projects, but at least opened, close, and compiled the projects in an acceptable amount of time. VS.NET 2005 looks a bit better, but way slower than VS.NET 2003, well, it opens in time (for the Microsoft demos and presentations), so people will be under the illusion that it is fast, and the hello world samples are running fast, but that’s about it. Once you have a large solution with 20 projects, and each of them with a lot of code, forget the performance, debugging is slow, compile is slow, you name it, they had is slower. It is not the PC, 2GB Ram, and 3GHZ processor is way more than enough, it is just tons of developers building VS ...Show All
