• Visual C# Using OleDbConnection to populate DataGridView

  I'm a bit new to this, so pardon my ignorance if this is well-known. I've been searching the net, but no luck yet. I have an established OleDbConnection that I want to use to populate a DataGridView. I can run SQL queries on the connection and see data sets, but I would like to present a view of that data in my grid. Also, I'd like to be able to only show a fouple of the columsn, but hold on to the full data set for later use. Any pointers would be appreciated... Thanks. So, here is my grid init code.  The grid seems to display fine:             // make the connection to the database             _db = new OleDbConnection ...Show All

  Hi All, I want to extend all IEnumerable<T> with a method called SomeOp. Usually I would define the extension like this: static class Sequence { public static IEnumerable<T> SomeOp<T>(this IEnumerable<T> sequence, Func<T, bool> func) { return sequence; } } As the operation always returns an object of the input type, I want to be able to write: List<int> integers = new List<int>(); List<int> ints2 = integers.SomeOp(x => true); To do so, I defined the exension method like this: static class Sequence { public static Enum SomeOp<T, Enum>(this Enum sequence, Func<T, bool> func) where Enum : IEnumerable<T> { return sequence; } } Compil ...Show All

• Visual Basic PrintForm - Printing to a specific tray on the printer

  How do you make the printform object print to Tray 2 on the printer I see where you can view the papersources, but I don't see a way to choose the papersource. Hi Stephen, you just need to set the papersource for the defaultpagesettings before you call Print. This is the same way you would set the paper source for a printdocument. The trick is to find out what the printer supports For example: For Each PSource As System.Drawing.Printing.PaperSource In PrintForm1.PrinterSettings.PaperSources If PSource.Kind = Printing.PaperSourceKind.Custom Then PrintForm1.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSource = PSource Exit For End If Next For more ...Show All

My problem is that; in my homework i'll make a simple chat programme using Windows forms. But i don't know using classes in the forms. For example, where to define the managed classes such as Socket.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office any way to print excel directly with one button click

  hi all, May i know is there any solution to print excel file (the file is on Web server) with one button click (without open the excel file in browser) thank you. This forum is for questions concerning the VSTO technology; VSTO is a way to use .NET code instead of "native" Office VBA in document-centric solutions. So Val has sent you to the wrong place :-) You can ask your question in an excel-specific group, or the Office.developer.automation group, HOWEVER: there is certainly no way to print an Excel file without first opening it in the Excel application environment, whether that's a browser window, or an Excel application window.
