• Software Development for Windows Vista How to add arrows(flow) between States

  How do I add the arrows that show the flow in a State Machine Workflow I have different State's and I need to show what State will be triggered when a condition in one State is satisfied.

  Dear Sirs,       I have see ideas at         http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/05/11/DataPoints/default.aspx and I have a question about the performance of DataTable.Merge().     It seems in ADO.NET 2.0 this method executes with increasing time when DataTable has more data rows, while merging about 10 rows each time.

• Visual Basic CallByName Set does not work

  Hi, I need to set the property of an object by using that property's name (string). This way it'd be possible to set some properties dynamically at runtime (ex: the property name would be input in a textbox on form). I receive an error when trying to use "CallByName" in order to achieve that goal. I've tried it with many objects from different libraries and they all do the same thing (Error: "Member not found"). Any ideas Here's an example using a KeyHole (google earth) object.: Dim kh As New KEYHOLELib.KHInterface 'Reference: Keyhole 1.0 Type Library (Installed if Google earth is installed) MsgBox(CallByName(k ...Show All

• SQL Server Setting Permissions using Management Studio

  We're beginning to use Management Studio with some of our SQL Server 2000 databases and are having difficulty viewing and assigning permissions on objects to roles &/or users. Even though permissions currently exist they do not appear in the "securables" tab on the properties page. In order to view the various permissions you must first manually select all of the objects and they will then appear. Is there some way to get Management Studio to automatically display the objects that currently have permissions setup for the particular role or user Basically, I'm looking for the same functionality as the permissions button gave fr ...Show All

• Windows Forms HasChanges and databinding across forms

  I have an application where I display master-detail records on a main form. The detail records are contained in two datagrids on a tab page control. The company details are entered via a user control placed directly on the form. Each time I change the selection on a list box (also  on the main form) the application retrieves a new dataset to populate the main form (company details) and datagrids (contacts and activities). Each time i select another company, HasChanges() is used to see if company details are modified or new contacts/activities are added. If so, the user is prompted to save before leaving. This all works beautif ...Show All

• Visual Studio HiearchyNodes auto-expanding on load of custom project

  Hello, We have a custom project that we load up into the Visual Studio Solution explorer. On some of our development machines, when we open up an existing project (our custom one) it makes some of the HiearchyNodes (folders,files) that have children auto expand to show all the items. On other development machines, it remembers which folders were open. Other projects like C# ones don't have this same auto expanded problem on the affected machines. Our first thought was that any time you do an AddChild to a HiearchyNode it would expand the item, but on some of our custom HiearchyNodes this doesn't happen. Any input or help from som ...Show All
