• Windows Forms Develping a Incremental Search Dialog in .NET

  Hi, The problem I am facing is I have a Data-grid and the menu item in the context menu opens up a Search Dialog(similar to Eclipse). It is used to search in a particular column in the data-grid. One option it has is "Incremental Search". It means as you would go on entering a letter in the textbox in this dialog, it will search in the data-grid. But the problem is, the moment I enter my first letter in the find dailog, it appropriately searches but it moves the "FOCUS" from this dialog to the grid and again I have to move my cursor to the textbox in this "Find" Dialog to start the search again. Because of this focussing problem betwee ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to redistribute multiple VC dll's?

  We have a product that was written as 32-bit libraries and executables. We are adding 64-bit support by building key libraries and executables with both 32- and 64-bit versions, however certain utilities are only available in 32-bit versions. On most other platforms we support this is not a problem as 32-bit and 64-bit libraries can co-exist. However, we are not sure how to handle the C runtime library (msvcr80.dll). Our own libraries are named differently for the 32-bit and 64-bit versions and so do not have conflicts. The question is, how can we redistribute the C runtime library (msvcr80.dll) in both its flavors so that customers can run ...Show All

In a designer you can get from an event descriptor to the method through the event binding service, see documentation at: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/system.componentmodel.design.ieventbindingservice(VS.80).aspx Use TypeDescriptor.GetEvents to get the event descriptors for the object.

• Visual Basic Smaller Database

  I have an application in VB 2005 Express with a SQL Server database.  I added large amounts of data for debugging purposes.  However, I want to ship an empty database, so I deleted all of my data, yet the database did not go back to its original smaller size.  Is there a reason for this, or anyway to correct it   Thanks -Aviatordave If it's a SQL database, just export the database shema. You can import the schema again into the new server. You dont' have to export the data (if any) The files are still big because the tables won't autoshrink. if they grew and shrunk automatically, it wo ...Show All
