• Windows Forms embedding default event handler in derived UserControl class?

  Hi, I'm new to .Net, and was wondering if the following is possible: I have created a template user control that has a standard toolbar/menu and events that are raised when the buttons/menuItems are clicked. When someone derives a new User Control from this class, I want to have default event handling code embedded in the class that they are creating which will act as a sample/default handler (rather than having them create the handlers from scratch by double-clicking the events in the properties window). If someone could let me know if this sort of thing is possible, or if there are other ways I should consider doing this, please let me kno ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Web Test - Any way to compare an Extracted value (Context Variable) against an expected result?

  Hi, Is there any way to compare an Extracted value against another expected value without using coded Web Tests Thanks The extracted value can be compared without using coded Web Test. It can be done by combination of Extraction rule and Validation rule. The "Context Parameter Name" entered in extraction rule can be used in the validation rule as expected value. It has to be taken care that the context parameter name should be appended by {{ __ }}. Eg: If Context Paramerer Name is UserID then {{UserID}} has to be entered as expected value in validation rule. ...Show All

• SQL Server How do I set ApplicationName through ODBC call so that SQL Profiler can see it properly

  Hi, I want some proper name to be set in the "ApplicationName" column for my application in the SQL Profiler instead of always being empty. I use ODBC to connect to SQL Server. I am sure there must be someway to do that because when I run SQL Analyzer, I can see "SQL Query Analyzer" or "SQL Query Analyzer - Object Browser" displayed in the ApplicationName column when I turned on SQL Profiler. Thanks, Jeff Thanks a lot for this forum, especially Ricky and William. I finally figured out that I should use SQLDriverConnect and pass in the APP key. The only concern I have n ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Remove local copy from workspace?

  Is it possible to remove the local copy of a folder from tfs when I've finished working with it Our source is setup as sub-folders within a single workspace, however we don't usually have all of the source locally and only work within a couple of these folders. Once we've finished with one, the local folder can be deleted to get back the disk space. I know that I can just delete the folder from the disk, but tfs still remembers the last version that it got for that folder within the workspace and I'd like to delete that too. Cloak the folder and run Get. You can add cloaks from SCE by choosing Workspac ...Show All

• .NET Development Accessing data in a DataSet

I've been able to connect to my database, use a TableAdapter to get access to it, and fill a DataSet with a query from the TableAdapter. My question is, how can I get access to the the rows and columns in my DataSet I know how to "databind" them to a form control, but I'm trying to just get them into variables. For example, if my table looks like this: int myAlbumsID (primary key, isIdentity=yes) varchar[50] albumName ...Show All
