• SQL Server Updating Table Structures

  Colleagues: When I try to save changes made to tables in SQL Server 2005, I get a time out error about 30 seconds after I initiate the save to the changes made to the table. I then have to back out of the "modify table" operation and I lose my changes.  I never had this problem with SQL Server 2000, even in tables with millions of rows - it would take a while, but I wouldn't get the time out messagand the updates would be saved.  Any ideas as to what's going on Thanks, SMM 29.11.2005 Hi Christian: Thanks for writing - here's the error message I get after initaiting a save of a change to a tab ...Show All

• Windows Forms Custom control cannot be moved in VS.NET designer

  Hi all, I developed a custom control derived from ScrollableControl. After I dragged my control onto a test Form, the control can be selected, but I cannot use mouse to move it around or resize it as I can with normal controls. However, If I used the property browser to change its Location or Size property, it takes effect. What is the possible cause of this problem Thanks in advance If your TestControl works fine, then I have no idea what is the real cause of the problem. In my case, however, when I removed the line base.AllowDrop = true, it solved the problem. And it's definitely not b ...Show All
