• Windows Forms ListView Help

  Hello All, I need a little help with my listview. I have a list view with 5 columns that are being filled by 5 variables. I also have a while loop that updates the variables continuously and I want to update the listview at the same interval.... I know i can use : listView.Items.Clear(); (then re-add the item) listView.Items.Add(..) however i causes a severe flicker and will not allow the user to highlight a row... I have tried to use Update and Refresh, however this doesn't seem to update the row with the updated variables... Any Ideas Thanks, Andrew Maybe while you are trying to highlight a row, you are re-adding the items, so you can't highlight it. Do you really have to do refresh every moment ...Show All

• Visual Studio UNC path of a local folder on Server??

  I have installed VSS 2005 on a WinXP Pro box (Server). I created a database at C:\VSS. I open SSAdmin, Server > Configure > Enable SourceSafe Internet for this database. It says, open the DB in UNC path. The folder is shared as "VSS". It is not accepting the "VSS" string in the create new database wizard.  It says, its not a valid UNC path. What do I need to give the UNC of a folder which is in the local file system of Server and shared as "VSS"   I tried "<computername>\VSS".. its not working because the server is looking for the computer on the network while its the name of the server itself. Sorry if I am dumb, but I couldn't find any documentation on this. TiA. I am trying to access this VSS folder from ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) xmlns deisgner versus compiler assembly resolving

  I have an assembly, sldcore, which has a namespace SolidCore in it, and the dll is named solidcoreud.dll. I assumed the namespace referennce would be: xmlns:SolidCore="clr-namespace:SolidCore;assembly=sldcore" But the assembly isnot resolved so I tried explicitly calling out the dll name xmlns:SolidCore="clr-namespace:SolidCore;assembly=soldcoreud" This works, types are resovled, at least from the aspect of compiling the xaml, however the designer gives Error 3 Assembly 'SldCoreud' was not found. The 'clr-namespace' URI refers to an assembly that is not referenced by the project. How do I carry on using the designer -- Dan P.S. The Data Trigger ...Show All

• SQL Server parameter passing with blanks - help required

  Hi, I am having a curious problem with parameter passing between reports. I have 2 reports the first report gives employee name, Department and in the second report I have employee details. If the user clicks on the Employee name in the First report it should go to the second report and display the details.

Would appreciate if anybody could suggest as to how I can pass the name with spaces in the report parameters. Thanks and regards PMNJ I'm having the same problem. I've als ...Show All

  I have a databound combobox which works fine EXCEPT that the user has to reselect each time for the value to be input properly.

• Visual Basic Need To Create Search Bar For Database

  Greetings, I am completely and utterly amazed at the lack of information on how to create or employ a search bar. This is the one simple attribute that has made the internet what it is today. Nearly every program I have ever used has a search bar which, when data is entered into the textbox and the search button is clicked, it returns matching criteria. However, I have searched (Imagine That) Google, Yahoo,LearnVisualStudio.net, MSDN, and Help for three days on how to create such a simple procedure and have found nothing. What I need to do: I am creating a database where I have all my Employees Information which includes columns: [Employee Number], [Emloyee First Name], [Employee Last Name], etc.... I have created the database and ...Show All

• SQL Server User Database backups in SQL Server 2000

  Hi, I am in the process of setting up periodic Database backups for my server. I am aware that I can use the Database Maintenance Wizard to generate a plan to backup all my USER databases. But when I set the Plan, even though I have specified to delete the backups a day older, it does no happen. So I end up having one copy of each backup created at the end of the day. How do I set it correctly, so that I can delete the backups say after 7 days In other words, at any point of time, I want to have just last 7 copies of the user database as my backup plan. How do I achieve that Alternatively, I can directly use SQL to backup the databases. But I could not find a reference to writing a single SQL to backup all my user databases in one ...Show All

• .NET Development Soap Extension ChainSream method

  Hello, I use the soap extension to log the request and response soap messages in my web service like documented in the MSDN: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7w06t139.aspx it works fine with no problem but i want to understand: why we should finally copy the stream from the memory stream to the oldstream. First at the beforedeserialize stage we copied the stream to the memory stream and in the chain stream we returned the memorystream, in the afterserialaization stage i got the serialized message from the memory stream, this means that the .Net framework worked on the memory stream so the serialized message was written on it, so why the response to the client wasn't sent from memory stream, why should i copy it from the ...Show All
