• SQL Server SQL Express does not allow remote connection within VB.Net Express

  I am new to VB.Net coming from a VB6 background using the VB.Net Express and have even loaded the SQL Express. The learning curve is not to bad until you get to dealing with connecting to db's. However, in trying to fill a grid with data, manipulate it and then update it has not been any fun either. There does not seem to be enough information out there dealing with these two as of right now. Anyway, trying to add a datasource connection for a grid has resulted in a real problem even using the connection wizard. I keep getting the same error that the default settings for SQL express does not allow remote connections. However, I thought that I have corrected that. Unfortunately, with VB express I cannot even seem to talk to my SQL 2000 ser ...Show All

• Windows Forms ClickOnce and third-party library updates

  Hi, I created a small in-house application that I am successfully publishing to an internal server using ClickOnce. It seems to me that if I get an update from a third-party library and then create a new version of my software using the update, ClickOnce no longer works for the app. The file name of the third-party control changes, so it seems like ClickOnce doesn't realize to use the new component file names instead of the old ones. Do I need to do something special when I upgrade third-party libraries Otherwise, ClickOnce works just great for me. Thanks in advance... -Eric ...Show All

• .NET Development FileSystemWatcher event not raised when mailserver moves file

  Hi folks, i just build a service application which is used to observe the mailroot\queue-folder on a W2K3-Server. A FileSystemWatcher is set on this folder & the application will check the mails popping up there. As it works with normal drag'n'drop/move of files, no event will be raised if the mail server places a file in the queue folder. Some settings: FileSystemWatcher.Filter is set to "*.*", no NotifyFilter defined, Created-, Changed- and Renamed-events are used. Any help available Thanx alberich Thank you for your fast response. The application is running on the server, no network path involved. Also there is no change of the file directly after a notification (regarding to the KB245214).

• Windows Forms Use existing columns in datagridview when binding?

  I'm binding a datagridview in runtime, but i would like to be able to design the columns in designer. Of course thats not possible since the designer does not know what columns it's bound to before the application is running. Is it possible to add unbound columns to the datagridview, and when setting the bindingsource in runtime, make it reuse existing columns if they have same name for instance I'm fairly sure that i have done this before, but i can't remember... If you specify columns with the designer, then the columns in fact exist as objects on the form at run-time and you can assign the database column-name into the DataPropertyName of the object, as in dgvColName.DataPropertyName="mydbcolumnna ...Show All
