• Visual Studio crystal reports and .net resource files

  I am a complete newbie when it comes to crystal reports. I am working on a project where I am going to make 3 realatively simple reports. However, the application is multilingual. I'd rather not make one report for each language (I just made one, and it was a drag to format because it is realtively crammed with infomation), so I am looking for a way to dynamically read from a resource file into my crystal reports. Is this possible If it is, how do I do it Thanks for your answer Keith. But I am not sure how your solution makes it easier to do the work at design time. You mean I can set the @Language value at design time then (Remember I ...Show All

  Hi, I've written some code to download, parse and show the data as a html-document.

• Windows Forms Leaking Main Menu

  I have an application that creates a modal form. The modal form has a mainmenu. I notice that when the form is closed and dispose is called on it, the form remains in the heap. Examination of the heap using the CLR profiler indicates that the menuitems are holding on to the modal form. Has anyone seemed this problem before or know why it happens Both the form and mainmenu on the form should have gone out of scope. By disposing the form, the mainmenu should have gone away. The workaround currectly is to call dispose on the main menu directly. Paul Calling Dispose does not deterministically "dest ...Show All
