• Windows Forms DataGridView CurrentCellChanged event problem when populating...

  Hello, I have a DataTable with 11 columns and 9 rows. I use a DataGridView for displaying that, and I generate manually its columns. I have some problems when I populate my DataGridView : the CurrentCellChanged event is raised 3 times consecutively : the first time, the DataGridViewCurrentCell exist (and Columns.Count == 1 and Rows.Count == 1), the second it's Nothing (and Columns.Count == 11 and Rows.Count == 9) and the third it exist again (and Columns.Count == 11 and Rows.Count == 1). I don't want these three states... It seems the first case corresponds to a first populating (and it assign a currentcell), the second an unpopulating (and ...Show All

• Visual C++ Image Color Management in VC++ 8 Platform SDK

  I'm converting a VC++ 6 MFC app to VC++ 8 using Visual Studio 2005 Standard. The existing app uses Image Color Management, so it #include's icm.h. In the VC++ 6 environment, it is included from the Platform SDK [$(ProgramFiles)Microsoft SDK\include] directory. A Visual Studio .Net installation delivers a version of the Platform SDK in a subdirectory of the VC directory [$(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK] and this directory is setup to be used for includes upon install. However, icm.h is not included in this version of the Platform SDK delivered with Visual Studio 2005. The file does exist in both VS2002 and VS2003 installations. Was this ommi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Getting Constructor Passed Parameters

  I've cast an SqlParameter Newobj opcode's Value parameter to an InstanceInitializer class. I'm trying to find out if the second passed parameter in the constructor is of type HttpContext. I could do this by walking the IL around the Newobj instruction, but I'm wondering if there's a simpler way using the Parameters collection of the Instance Initializer class. I have tried: InstanceInitializer createdObj = methodInstructions //emoticons/emotion-55.gif" alt="Idea" />.Value as InstanceInitializer; // Some checking of number of parameters, etc here if(createdObj.Parameters[1].Type.DeclaringType.Name.Name == "HttpContext") {   & ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System What permissions determine who can be assigned work items?

  Good afternoon.. I see a highly configurable permission set. I have a contributer role at the project level with no members. (None have been added since I created the project) However, when I go to create a task, I see all users, including the service account.  There is a global service account group, with quite a few permissions.  Why is the service accounts group even there to begin with Also, I see direct way to set users or roles to "be assigned work items".. Any ideas Cheers! -Sean You must specify full group name in LISTITEM. There're three kinds of groups you can use: 1. Windows g ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies WDSQUERY in .NET 2.0 ->

  Hi there, i was just wondering if search was supported in 2.0 and beyond as i seem to get a QueryInterface Exception when instantiating the Search class from 2.0. kind regards, Andrew The WDS APIs are unmanaged COM interfaces.  So all you need to do is use tlbimp (not tlbexp) to import the TLB to generate an interop DLL. Unfortunately we don't provide a PIA at this time (mostly because the API is still beta and likely to change). ...Show All

• Windows Forms use ActiveX ctrl if available

  That must be a common scenario, but I have not found anything about it: I want to use an ActiveX control if it is available, e.g. the "Microsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library" to export some data shown on the screen to Excel and show the new document. If the ActiveX control is not installed, so probably office is not installed, I do not want to offer that feature in that installation. What is the right way to approach this scenario Having created a helper class by importing the object, I'd have thought you could try to create an instance and if it works, then it's available ...Show All

• SQL Server Report Builder Query Timeout?

  Is their a way when creating a Report Builder model to set a query timeout   Similar to what can be done when creating a Reporting DataSet in VS.NET during report development.   My ultimate goal is to be able to limit ad-hoc report users running Report Builder from waisting resources on my SQL instance.   This has nothing to do with a report being published to a report server and setting a reports execution time limit. Unfortunately, no, you cannot set the timeout of a Report Builder query. You can specify a query timeout in Report Designer so you could build the repo ...Show All

• SQL Server ReportViewer with Authentication

  I'm new to Reporting Services but have built some reports and have implemented them.  I have used the report viewer which works great and has a great tool bar that users really like.  One problem, I can't figure out how to pass network credentials using the viewer. If I use the ReportingService class I can pass the credentials and everything is great except that I lose the nice tool bar. I want the best of both worlds without having th build my own toolbar.  This must have been done before but I can't seem to find any samples. So is there a way to pass credentials (Basic Authentication over SSL) while still using the nivce fea ...Show All

• Visual Basic GenericIZE This...

  I am betting this is a very hard problem for 99.9995% of programmers. It's supposed to be simple and supposed to be one of the benefits of generics, yet generics will not work with this incredibly simple case. If you can get it to work, I'd love to see it. Take the class below and convert it to accept generic arguments of <int> or <double> or <long> or whatever. You'll find a big surprise when you you get it coded up and try to call IsDataValid because it's going to say that your generic objects don't support the operation you are attempting. Good luck.
