• Windows Forms Control Resizing In Deployed Executable !

  Hi, I have a wierd problem. I've got a Windows Form with heaps of controls which are within a SplitContainer, which is Anchored in all directions.

• Windows Forms Visual Inheritance - Deriving From Open Constructed Form

  Hello Everyone: I have an open constructed form that I want to use as a base form. It looks something like: public partial class BusinessFormBase <TBusinessObject> : Form{...} So far so good but when I try to derive from this form in order to create a closed constructed form, everything compiles fine, but I get the following when opening the designer for this form: The designer could not be shown for this file because none of the classes within it can be designed. The designer inspected the following classes in the file: Form2 --- The base class 'MyAssembly.BusinessFormBase' could not be loaded. Ensure ...Show All

• Visual J# J# Books & Questions

  I'm a new developer and am planning to write an application for church office administration.  It would keep track of facility usage, payroll, members, attendees, donations and general accounting.  I've looked into a couple different languages and have narrowed it down to J# or Omnis Studio (Omnis.net), which appears to be underdeveloped. However, I'm having trouble finding resources (in print or electronic form) for J# and learning it looks fairly tough.  Should I buy a book on Java to learn J#   Can I build the type of software that I'm trying to in VJ# 2005 Express B2   Thanks in advance for the timely responses. ...Show All

• .NET Development Problems reading array in struct

  Hi, I'm trying to marshal the DS_SELECTION_LIST struct ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/ad/ad/ds_selection_list.asp ) to C#. It works, but only the first element is retrieved. I believe this is because the marshaler can not determine the array size. However, the field cItems in the struct determines the array size. But I can not use the SizeParamIndex with UnmanagedType.ByValArray. So I tried the UnmanagedType.LPArray but then I receive the exception: System.TypeLoadException: Cannot marshal field 'aDsSelection' of type 'ADHelper.DS_SELECTION_LIST': Invalid managed/unmanaged type combination (Arrays field ...Show All

• Windows Forms populating grid on the fly

  hi friends am trying to populate data grid on the fly in button's click event. my sample code is SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand ( "select * from task" ); myCommand.Connection = conn; myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery(); grdTask.DataSource = myCommand; grdTask.Refresh(); this is not loading any data or returning any error any ideas . am using VS 2005 and C# Thanks 1. You can't bind directly to a SqlCommand. You need to load the data into memory first (DataSet). 2. The ExecuteNonQuery method is to run Update, Insert, and Delete queries, that don't return any result records. For Select statements, you need some sort of Re ...Show All

I only want to store one class type in my class but I can't work out how to do it.

• Visual Basic Change DB connection

  I'm developing a windows application based on an Access database. I used the wizard to create the table adapters, relations and so on and all works fine. But using the wizard the connection to the database is hide, the system does the connection by itself. It supposes that the db is stored always in the same location at the same path. I need to use the application changing as needed the database (same structure different data obviously). My goal is to have a menu item like "Change db" where I can browse the file system and choose the db. Can I change the connection of the dataset at runtime How can I do Dado ...Show All

• Windows Forms MDI Problems

  Am getting the following problems with MDI forms: 1. Child forms set to maximised at design time do not appear maximised when shown. 2. Icons of maximised child forms do not show in the control box menu until the MDI form is resized. 3. I can't get the toolbar buttons of child forms to merge with those of the MDI form. I've set the AllowMerge property of the MDI form toolstrip to True, and MergeAction of the child form toolstrip buttons to Append and Insert, but they just don't appear. EDIT - OK, I can fix this with the ToolStripManager. 4. I want the toolstrip to be draggable to any side of the MDI form. I'd use a single toolstrip container ...Show All
