• .NET Development Easiest way to make a copy of a datatable

  I am using VS 2005 with SQL Server as the backend. I have a winform with a master and a related grid for a detail. The grid may contain 2 or three thousand records. The form contains Quotes for work done for us. The user wants to be able to copy a Quote and its details easily. Both the master and the detail have AutoIncement fields as their keys. What is the easiest way to copy a dataset, or a table in a dataset Getting the data out of the master and making a copy that is like it is easy enough, but getting a copy of the thousand records in the grid is not as easy.

• .NET Development Process.Start() of xcopy only works under the debugger?

  I am trying to run a child process to xcopy files into another directory.  xcopy is regular old Windows system xcopy.  I am creating a new System.Diagnostics.Process, filling out some start info, then kicking it off with Process.Start().  When I run this code under the .NET debugger it works fine. However, if I run my app outside the debugger, the xcopy child process fails to do anything.  I've attached a debugger after I started my app outside the .NET IDE and although the child process appears to run, I get nothing from its stdout and the files I intend to xcopy are never copied.  This child process ...Show All

• SQL Server DTS load to multiple tables

  I have SQL Server 2003 Standard and am attempting to use DTS for a data load/transformation and I’m not sure if I am using the right tool for the job. I have a somewhat denormalized Access database that has to be loaded into a normalized SQL Server database. Values from one row in any of the source tables generally need to be separated and inserted into several destination (SQL Server) tables. There are no unique ids in the source data since it is coming from a 3 rd party and the tables are not related to others. I’ve created a DTS Package and have the beginnings of several Transform Data Tasks. Each destination table has an Identity i ...Show All

• Visual Basic Accessing images stored in Access database with VB.NET 2003

  Hi, I am developping an employee management application with VB. I used an Access database to store employee information and the pictures. However I have a difficulty at displaying employee images. I have found some code to add images and display them on the form. The code, first reads the image stored in database (in binary form) then writes in a temp file and then uses a picturebox to display the image on the form. Code is working fine but when I try to add a picture for an employee and then try to change (another add operation) the employee's picture right after addition, program crashes because the temp file is already in use.

• Windows Forms Getting the Control that had focus before the currently focused Control?

  Hi all, If I have a GotFocus() event on a Control, is there anyway I can find out what the last Control was that had Focus() before the current Control (which now has the Focus()) I hope I have clarified myself clear enough, if not I will expand on it. Thanks Tryst Instead of exposing the LastFocusedControl in your main form and having each control implement a Handler that sets it, which requires all your child controls to reference their parent control and set their parent control's property, you're probably better off implementing one Handler in your main form that sets a private variable lastFocusedControl. Then, just attached that ...Show All
