• Windows Forms Combination of fields as DisplayMember?

  Hi, I'm binding to an array that holds class objects. Setting a DisplayMember works fine for one property like: cbPartners.DisplayMember = "Name"; cbPartners.DataSource = myArray However, I'd like the display member to be a combination of several properties like "FirtstName" and "Name". Is there any way to do something like that Thanks You have to hook the ComboBox Format event.  If you're binding via ADO.NET, you're handler would look something like this: private void comboBox1_Format( object sender, ListControlConvertEventArgs e) {     DataRowView drv = (e.ListItem as DataRo ...Show All

• Visual C# Generics & Type Casting

  I'm trying to write a generic method to sort 2-dimensional arrays. I'm converting each row in the array to a delimited string, which I then add to an ArrayList and then use the ArrayList.Sort() method. The problem I'm having is in then casting the objects in the sorted ArrayList back to the original type. This is the code: Type type = typeof(T); sortedArray[rowIndex, columnIndex] = (type) delimitedFields[columnIndex]; I'm getting this error: The type or namespace name 'type' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference ) I can't work out what I'm missing. I have the following using ...Show All

• SQL Server External Stylesheet in a database

  Has anyone run into the issue where you need to create a an external stylesheet to reference in reporting services The approach I've taken is to create an external stylesheet and save the values of the stylesheet in a database. I created a database to hold the values of the stylesheet and then reference the styles from the database in reporting services. It works great, however, I've now run into the problem where you can only work with one dataset in a table. So I have one dataset for the styles and then I need to work with another dataset for the actual data. Has anyone taken a similar approach or have an idea of how I can ...Show All

• Visual Studio Problem with CreateProperty

  If I create a property like this: < CreateProperty " Value=" something" >   < Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="MyProperty" /> </ CreateProperty> MyProperty will get "something" instead of " something", the space is gone. Is this expected or a bug Regards, Gustavo Guerra Yes you are right.  The property strings are getting trimmed today in this scenario.  Are you blocked on a real need to have whitespace at the beginning or the end of the string If you want spaces at the beginning or the end, you can use %20 in the attribute value to escape it ...Show All

  Hello, My brother has a compact SR1103 with win XP & sp2. He had a CPU fry and replaced it, now his computer is a 486 (speed wise) The computer is so unbelievably slow and hangs during tasks.

• Visual Basic C# or VB ?

  other than familiar syntax is there any reason to use VB instead of C# is the difference only syntax Hi Ever since .NET arrived this question has stirred emotions between those developing in VB and those developing in C# (needlsessly so in my opinion). You often find the usual ramblings that C# is better than VB which I guess stems from when VB classic was an interpreted language against C++ which was a compiled language. Prior to the release of VS 2005 there were things that you could do in C# that you couldn't do in VB such as operator overloading, XML comments (although this can be achieved using third party ...Show All

• .NET Development run-time defined method return type in .NET?

  I would like to define a method that returns a type that is determined at runtime, i.e., public RuntimeDeterminedType Method(); Is this possible using any of the .NET languages If so, would you please post an example or a link to an example. Thanks in advance! Matthew No you can't technically do this as the compiler must be able to generate the code to return the type. However depending on your needs there are several ways to accomplish the same task. The easiest is of course to simply have the method return object . The method caller is then responsible for typecasting accordingly. This ...Show All
