• Windows Forms Help with DataGridView ComboBox NullValue

  I have a DataGridView ComboBox column.  The value is bound to a database table and the list is filled from a table or by explicit add commands -- doesn't matter. I need to set a Null value into the database when nothing is selected (or a specified item is selected), but things aren't working well for me... For a NON-DataGridView combo box, I create a list where one of the items displays as empty and it has a value of DBNull.value.  User selects that, database gets the null value.  Works great.  That's the functionality I need inside of DataGridView. When I try that in the DataGridView ComboBox column, I get a Da ...Show All

• Windows Forms Not Serializable: System.Windows.Forms.BindToObject

  It would appear that when DataBinding.Add() is called, a System.Windows.Forms.BindToObject object is created and used to hook the properties "Changed" event for the binding.

• Visual Studio Team System Timeout during unit test

  Greetings. I've recently been introduced to VSTSs integrated unit testing abilities, and quickly decided to adopt them and write an extensive suite of tests for some software component or another. Much to my regret, however, I soon stumbled upon a rather annoying problem as some of my tests take a relatively long time to perform. I'd tell you how long, but unfortunately I can't quite tell since the testing framework decides to terminate the tests on its own account with the following message: "Test on Agent, X, exceeded execution timeout period" where X is the agent on which the test had run. I would expect that nasty little timeout to ...Show All
