• SQL Server SQL 2005 Standard error on Windows XP Pro SP2

  When I run the SQLSTD.EXE for the September CTP of SQL 2005 Std I get the following error message: "There is not enough space on drive C:\ to extract this package." I have over 13 GBs on C:\ and I've also uninstalled .NET 2 Beta 2. Anything else I need to do to successfully install this TIA The 7zip extraction utility solved my problem--my congrats to them. They should license their product to Microsoft, since it seems that this problem has existed for years without any proper solution. We should all heap shame on "trial and error" workarounds. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Data binding to runtime properties

  I'm trying to find a way to override the data binding at the point where it retreives data from a property. I'm trying to make this work with data from our propietary quote servers. I have a class that encapsulates the data retreival and updates, but the problem is that I have to map each field to a property of the data item class. There may be properties defined after the app is compiled. What I need is a way to get WPF to call an overrided method with the property name passed as a parameter to get or set the property value, instead of trying to retreive the data via reflection and a property. Without this, I have to do something rea ...Show All

• .NET Development Confused about logistics of data storage...

  Still learning, and can't get my head around some logistics... I'm programming in VB 2005 express Beta 2, and have added a database (mdf) that's stored on my hard drive. the app (at the current stage) is simply a form, that stores entered data in a database for use later. The database was created fine, and created a datasource, and everything seems to work fine. as far as i can tell it's adding rows, but i can't figure out how to check. http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx PostID=69953  explains the issue, but even with this knowledge, i still don't know how to go back in and check if my data has updated. is there a way to jus ...Show All

• Visual Basic KeyEvent Questions

  I know how to get the key event of the application that I am working on, but how do I use the keyevent classes to capture general keystrokes For instance, if I want to mask a textbox to only allow numbers (I use VB.NET 2003), then I would monitor the keyevents for that specific textbox. What do I do if I want to mask a key or several keys for an entire program Would I have to put a mask everywhere or is there an easier way to do this. If you must know what this is for, then here is the skinny. My friend and I are what you would call pranksters. He just wrote this program and slipped it on my machine that made my mouse control go completel ...Show All

• Windows Forms changing layout within DetailsGrid/DetailsView?

  I like how easy it is to create and display editable forms in VS 2005. However, I can't figure out how to format these prebuilt forms in the manner that I want (floating CSS divs). In the detailsGrid - using the CSS friendly, how can I put the edit/new/delete links into a separate div (like the footer). It puts these links within the rest of my content. It does not allow me to edit the item templates :( I tried the Datalist Control, but this ignore any div tags that I placed within it, because for some reason it wraps all of it within a table. What I am ultimately trying to accomplish, should be fairly easy. I have a set of 8 or dif ...Show All

• Windows Forms Bad opinion about .NET framework

  Dear Friends, I am using Visual Studio.NET 2005 (Whidbey) to do my developing and designing work. I have developed windows application.I copied the EXE which I have developed,to some other machine (Machine which doesn't has .NET framework 2.0). While running the EXE,I have an error that "you should have .NET framework version 2.0.5314.0 ..." This is really bad. How do they expect that all sys have the framework Then what is the purpose of EXE This is really bad.. Once again they have proved that they are "Microsoft (Not clear)". Any other comments....

  Is there any way to format currency as a long string For instance, turning the number $3451.25 into 'Three thousand four hundred fifty one and 25 cents' I am not aware of anything built into the framework.
