Smart Device Development capturing web form values in WebBrowser class .net compact 2.0
I realize that .net 2.0 compact framework does not support the Document property in the WebBrowser class, which is the straightforward way to, say, detect whether a checkbox in a web from is checked. I've tried what was suggested in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229657 ; however, it doesn't work as advertised. Even when I used the exact code snippets as shown, the Url property of the WebBrowserNavigatingEventArgs was null and did not contain the form values as one would expect from a GET. Am I just out of luck, or is there a workaround For example, I have webbrowser1.DocumentText="<html><body>< ...Show All
Software Development for Windows Vista Correlation references between custom activities
I've designed a pair of custom activities - one an EventSink, and one an InvokeMethod. The InvokeMethod activity initialises a correlation set (ie. it invokes a method of the local service interface that is tagged as initializing the correlation). The EventSink always follows the correlation. I would like to have the correlation reference created inside the InvokeMethod custom activity so that whenever I drag this activity onto the design surface then I've got a correlation reference ready to go. I would then like to bind the correlation reference in the EventSink activity to the correlation reference in the InvokeMethod. No matter what I d ...Show All
Windows Forms Menu Items query
I'm doing a simple C# program putting a 'check' mark next to a menu item, in VS2003 I would simply use menuItem10.Checked = isBolded ....etc But on VS2005 it won't let me use the same syntax. Do I need to be using ToolStripMenuItem instead of just menuItem, because Intelisence does not seem to recognise menuItem10.Checked Also how do I differentiate between the the menuitem number menuItem10 etc Any ideas would be great! Many thanks, James sorry, for the first lines I surely mean MenuItem menuItemCopy = new MenuItem("Copy"); MenuItem menuItemPaste = new MenuItem("Paste"); ...Show All

SQL Server Backup SQL 2000 SP4 and Restore on SQL 2005
Does anyone know if this works to where the data is viewable/usable I have an application that takes datasets out of the SQL database. We decommisioned our old SQL 2000 SP4 machine and brought in a SQL 2005 Server. What we did was backed up the old database and then restored it on the new Server. Now the application does not see the old datasets but will collect new ones that are viewable. We can import older datasets but we have nearly 27 GB of data, which our DBA can see the old tables in Enterprise Manager but our applciation can't see it. I'm thinking it might be a schema issue or the way that 2005 translate the odler 2000 S ...Show All

SQL Server Fatal Error doing simple queries from an sql 2000 to sql 2005 exported database
I have been trying to export an sql2000 database to sql2005 with no luck. I continuosly get the error Msg 0, Level 11, State 0, Line 0 A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded. I have looked upon all support material and have installed the latest sql2005 service pack, but this has not fixed the problem. a simple query as: select * from [transaction] ta , transactionentry tr where tr . transactionnumber = ta . transactionnumber and glacctid = 6 and ta .[ time] > '3/01/2006' would produce this fatal error. the current version I am using is: Microsoft S ...Show All
Visual Studio Express Editions Need some event that occurs before "BindingSource.CurrentChanged"
I'm looking for a way to execute some operations before the record changes. I'm already using the "BindingSource.CurrentChanged" but I need some event that hapens BEFORE the record actualy changes. Does this event exists One of the things I'm trying to use this for is to prevent the user from changing record without saving the updates he has done to the data. Maybe there's an easier way to do that, but I'm thinking in use some 'flag' that its false on 'BindingSource.CurrentChanged' (wich occurs after the data is displayed), and turns true in any "ValueChanged"... then, if I have a way to catch some event before the next "BindingSource ...Show All
SQL Server Management Studio Express - Security problem with "backup" function
I am logged in to the CTP of Management Studio Expresss as a regular dbo user with ownership to only one database. The following seems to be security problems for use on shared database servers: 1. I can see the names of all the other databases, not just my own. I can't access the others, but I thought this was going to be fixed and not work like existing EM for SQL Server 2000 that shows (potentially hundreds) of database names. 2. The "Backup" database function, when selecting backup to a disk files, allows me to browse the ENTIRE folder structure of the hard disk. I can drill down into the C:\WINDOWS folders, the "Documents and Sett ...Show All

Vihang, I have downloaded the code for Re-hosting the Workflow Designer and have commented out the part that recompiles the code behind (I just need to update and save the xoml for now). The problem is that the namespace aliases get reversed when the following code executes: protected override void PerformFlush( IDesignerSerializationManager manager) { IDesignerHost host = ( IDesignerHost )GetService( typeof ( IDesignerHost )); Activity rootActivity = host.RootComponent as Activity ; if (host != null && host.RootComponent != null ) { if (rootActivity != null ) { XmlTextWrit ...Show All
Visual C# Returning delimiters with the tokenizer
The way to tokenize a string in C# that I came across is using the String.Split() function. However, this function does not return the delimiters. I am trying to build a parser but for that I need the tokens as well as the delimiters that split the tokens. Is there something to that effect in C# I note that there is no StringTokenizer (Java/J#) kind of class in C#. Can I get to complete my project in C# or do I have to rever to Java You could add the delimiter to every token after the split, programatically. Why do you want the delimiter to be part of the token The delimiter is known so if you need to join the array later you can spe ...Show All
