• Windows Forms Menu Designer not visible

  I've created a base form with its own designer and an unfortunate side-effect is that a Menu control's designer will not show up when you drag a menu onto the form.  From the MainMenu1 component in the "tray" you can right click and choose "Edit Menu" but it gets the error message... "Object reference not set to an instance..." ...Show All

• SQL Server backwards compatibility of the MDF file 2000 and 2005

  I'm looking for information on if the SQL Database files are compatable between SQL 2000 and SQL 2005. I know I can take a mdf from SQL 2000 and attach it to a SQL Server 2005 server and everyting works. So the real quesiton is : Can I take a SQL Server database that started in SQL 2000, attach it to SQL Server 2005 and work with it, (including schema changes) and then attach it to a SQL Server 2000 server . In the above scenario I'm keeping the compatability level at 8 (2000). Does MS have any articals on this subject. I need to know the limitations since the products I'm working on have to support both versions and so do ou ...Show All

  Hi, In my application i am using flash for UI design. When i click a flash button it should execute netcf coding.For windows application there is some third part Components like ShockwaveFlashObjects.So how can i achive it in ppc.

• Windows Forms Can we add window form to class library in .Net?

  Getting unspecified error... Sure.  You can add a Windows Form to any project.  You don't necessarily want to display such a form in any project but for Windows apps it'll work just fine.  Class libraries often contain UI elements that provide some functionality (like .NET itself or any of the third-party components available online).  Could you post the error you're getting so we have a better idea of what  your problem is Thanks, Michael Taylor - 10/19/05 ...Show All

• Visual C++ how to format a two or one digits number in a two char string?

  Ok, maybe this is a very stupid question but wich is the cleanest way to convert an int to a System::String with always at least 2 chars... Now, I do this: String* convertTo2CharString(int num){ if(num<10)   return String::Concat(S"0", Convert::ToString(int)); else   return Convert::ToString(int); } I suppose that with the String::Format, I can do it with one line of code but I don't know how. Tnx. Here's a good place to start for information on all the new stuff that's coming in Visual C++ 2005. http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/whidbey/ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Problem with Conditional Import inside VS

  Hello I have a .targets file that supports multiple platforms, and has 3 elements like this: <Import Condition=" '$(Platform)' == '...' " Project="..."> When I build using msbuild.exe and specify /p:Platform=... it works ok for all platforms. When inside VS, it always imports the first one, regardless what Platform I choose. I also have a dummy Platform called "BuildAllPlatforms" that invokes the msbuild task for all platforms, and that works ok in VS. If instead of the import, I literally replace the import, and add the condition to every target, propertygroup and itemgroup, it all works ok. Is this a bug in VS I'm using RC1. Regards, ...Show All

• Windows Forms Hide the first Column

  Is it possible to hide the first Column in a DataGrid Let me explain a few things first. The DataSource for the DataGrid is like so; DataSet DSAccountVenueRooms = new DataSet(); DSAccountVenueRooms = DataAccess.GetAccountVenueRooms(MainMenu.AccountID); this .dgAccountVenueRoom.DataSource = DSAccountVenueRooms.Tables[0]; The first Column in this DataGrid is a RoomID Value that I get to execute the next Stored Procedure to get the Data for that Room.
