• Windows Forms datagridview cell formatting - help

  I have what I believe to be a simple unbound datagridview in a VB 2005 Beta 2 windows application.  The issue is that I can not get numeric data to be formatted in the cells as "12,345" instead of "12345".  Does anyone know what is wrong with the following code (this is the entire set of code in the project) - I must be missing something pretty simple.  The grid is the only control on the form.  Specifically the statement <columnStyleR.Format = "#,##0"> does not seem to work. Thanks! Private Sub Form1_Load( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase .Load ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Blurry image after e.Graphics.ScaleTransform (Zoom)

  (I have already tried e.Graphics.SmoothingMode=Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.None in several places) The program in question uses GIF images that contain certain patterns and shapes and enlarges them during the e.graphics print page event. Using print preview's zoom, it is clear that the patterns and shapes have blurry edges and look slightly lighter in color. Printing looks less than optimum because of this. Looking at the original GIF file in the MS Paint program max zoom, shows crisp edges and darker colors. Here is everything in the program I can think of that relates to the graphics in question: (BTW, all the pen drawing I do afte ...Show All

• Visual C++ This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect

  Hi, I am just starting programming using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition. I have had some limited practice in other languages and older versions of C++, so I have some idea whats going on but not much... Anyway I made a short program which perfroms a bubble sort on an array of numbers which the user enters (I know its nothing to write home about but its a start), it works fine on my PC and when I sent it to a freind who also had VC++ 2005 Express Edition it worked fine for him. However I then sent it to a freind without it (in a fairly poor attempt to persuade him to download it) , and my program didn't work on his PC giving the error: ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Build Install Issue

  We are having an issue with the Team Foundation Build Server installation for the RC. The required TFS Service account for TFS and TFS Build we created is a local account (not domain). Team Foundation Server allowed the use of a local account during installation. The build server needs to use the same service account used by TFS, but does not allow you to supply a local account during installation. I used my domain account just to complete the installation. After completion I went into the service and changed the service account back to the local TFS Service that was used for Foundation Server. When I try to execute a build it fails with th ...Show All

• Visual C++ AFX_MANAGE_STATE To load DLL Resources screws up resolving of Parent hWnd

  I've designed an architecture which uses DLLs to expose types through common bases, creating instances using an anonymous factory-style pattern. I intend to mix window types and standard object types together as if they are the same thing - but the architecture will know, when creating an instance that one is a window whereas another is an object. The windows are piggybacking on top of the MFC windows, therefore I'm creating specific implementations of CDialog, CView, etc as and when I need to use them, then I change the base classes of any VC++-generated classes I already have to these new base classes, so that I can include some common ...Show All

• SQL Server Disabling Product Feedback on en masse deployment?

  Hello. After installing SQL 2005 Enterprise (MSDN-version), I was greeted with Product Feedback pop-ups on opening SSMS. I'm all about product feedback (hence why I'm here), but before I deploy a final/non-MSDN version to lots of users, I was wondering - if this also occurs with the non-MSDN version - if there is a way to pre-disable the feedback options I assume you're referring to the Watson and SQM messages, which I think is the final screen of the Setup process. This is present in all versions of the product. One way to disable the pop-up is to do a command line install, specifying an appropr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Object reference not set to an instance of an object

  Greetings, I created a Solution containing two SQL Server 2000 Projects. I imported a schema into each project (both from SQLServer 2000) and corrected some errors. I saved my files and closed the solution. When I reopen the solution I get the error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." for each project and now neither of my projects is available either from the solution or by opening the project files individually. What may have happened and how may I correct this -- Regards, Neale NOON Hello Neale, What kind of errors did you correct If you create a proje ...Show All

• SQL Server Encryption Performance

  Hi I am trying to encrypt data using a symmetric key which is encrypted by certificate. I do not want grant control on these objects to the users who wants to decrypt this data. Instead I have created a udf with execute context as "dbo" and used DecryptByKeyAutoCert built-in function. Now this works fine but large data operations this is extremely slow. It takes around 10 minutes to select decrypted data whic in comparision takes 11 seconds when DecryptByKey function is used. But I am not sure when DecryptByKey is used, whether the symmetric key is decrypted by the private key of the certificate or not. Can somebody give s ...Show All
