Windows Forms MainMenu border alteration
Can anyone provide me with an example of how to manipultate the borders on a MainMenu component Ideally, I would like to remove the border. Thanks. The MainMenu class is a component, not a control. It is displayed in the non-client area of the form and you have very limited control over it. I suggest you use the MenuStrip control instead. It was created specifically to overcome the limitations of the MainMenu. ...Show All
Visual Basic Returning Private Sub Name In Error Message
I have a command button on a form to delete the current record. The corresponding subroutine is called Private Sub cmdDelete_Click(). I'm looking for a way to display "cmdDelete_Click" in an error message if an error is thrown. I want to have the the statment be the same for each subroutine I have so I don't have to hard code the name for each one. Is there a way to return the name of the current subroutine as I described I found something like form.module.name but that wasn't it. Here's an example - which will display the Assembly and function name that the exception wa ...Show All
Windows Forms ContextMenuStrip Problems
Hello Everyone, VS BETA 2 I have a MenuStrip with the standard items. I wish to create a contextmenu dynamically with the edit menu dropdown items in it. Obviously I don't wish to duplicate event handlers and of course I don't want to hard code the creation of the items. Why does the contextmenustrip remove items from the original list when adding them to the contextmenustrip. columnDataGridViewContextMenuStrip.Items.Add Is there any work around just to reference these items without duplicating them for each contextmenustrip I am sure I am missing something.... :-) Also of interest is that adding a seperator to a contextm ...Show All
SQL Server Looping through rows in flat file
I'd appreciate some guidance on how to solve a problem. I have a flat file of the format Header1 Header2 Header3 Data Record Data Record ... etc. ... Data Record Trailer1 Trailer2 I want to loop through each data record. I want to take a column value (string) from each row, and call a stored procedure passing in that value. The s/p will return another string which I want to use to update the original column value from the flat file. If I can't update the original column value I'm happy to add a derived column. Once I've done this "lookup" for all records, I want to re-create the flat file again with the new column values. I don't need a deta ...Show All

Visual C# Is there a way to marshal a CArray from unmanaged function
Hi, I am trying to call a function from a unmanaged MFC dll. The function use a CArray as a parameter and I am looking for a way to call that function from my C# application. I am using the System.Runtime.InteropServices and it works fine for the other function where the parameter are simple. For a CArray, it is more difficult.

Visual C++ Merge IDEs
I find the MSVC .NET GUI just awfull... (no offence :P). Is it possible to use the .NET linker and compiler with MSVC 6 Thanks. Speaking of moving folders. Moving/reordering folders at least manually in the project (text) file worked well before 2005 and is broken in 2005 (now all folders are sorted alphabetically no matter what you do - maybe the C# team pressured them for this, but we C++ guys get this now too and any resolution has been delayed until Orcas) This has been mentioned in a bug at the product feedback center - you can vote on it here: http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com ...Show All
SQL Server Management Studio lists all databases
I was under the impression that Management Studio wouldn't list any databases that a user doesn't have access to. But if I create a new user and give them db_owner permissions to just one database, if they log into Management Studio, they are able to see all databases listed. They don't have access to do anything further, but they can still see the list which I thought was handled better in 2005. I'm using the Sept CTP. Is there something I can do to hide all databases that the user doesn't have access to Thanks, Scott Forsyth A member of db_owner will inherit the VIEW ANY DATABA ...Show All
.NET Development Web Reference
I am migrating a class that leverages a web service from Dev to Prod. The problem seems to be that when i set the properties of the reference I get the error "The underlying connection was closed: The remote name could not be resolved". That is because the dev can't "see" the prod and I don't have and can't have VS.NET installed on Prod. What can I do What property are you setting that returns that particular error message It sounds to me like the problem is the Url property that is embedded in the class definition. It's possible that your problem will go away if you set the Url property on the property clas ...Show All

SQL Server Oddball SQL calculation query - any Gurus up to this??
OK, so I have a situation where the Client gets money from activites based on mileage. The further from 'home', the greater the mileage rate is. The distance per stopover is measured from wither home, or the last stopover, making it a continuous interval. Dependinig on the load size, the rates will increase or decrease as well.
