• Visual Studio Express Editions ActiveForm question

  Ok, I know that the ActiveForm object returns the, well, active form. But what about the active form's controls I can't access those because they don't appear as one of the ActiveForm's objects, and when I try to compile like that it says that the property doesn't exist. So how can I access the controls of the active form Please help! The ActiveForm property returns a Form reference because it can be any type of form.  You need to cast that reference to the appropriate type to be able to access the members of that type.  If the ActiveForm may be any of several types then you're going to need to test what type it ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Don't execute an application twice ?

  Noone have an idea   Hi, I'd want to know how to not launch an application two times. I thinked I can compare the current process with the other process but I don't know how to create a list of the processes with the .NET CF for smartphone.

• SQL Server Hierarchical table Functions Vs Hierarchical CTE

  Recently I was in need of a hierarchical tree data. I learned about CTE and how they can be used to build hierarchical data with simple syntax. I used CTE and was through with the task. Later during free time, I tried to compare CTE approach with the traditional SQL 2K Table Function approach. It was surprising to see the query costs when I ran both the modes at one go... Query Cost (relative to batch) : 0.49% Query Text : Select * From fn_GetTree(8); Query Cost (relative to batch) : 99.51% Query Text : with treedata (id, parentid, status, prevStatus, lvl) as (select ...) What does that indicate Does it mean that the Table Function ...Show All
