• Windows Forms Repopulate Combobox from second form

  Hi, I've got 2 windows forms (vb.net). The 1st form contains a combobox which is populated by a tablecolumn from a SQL Server database. On a 2nd form I can add items to this particular table. The second form is opened from the first form. When data is saved on the 2nd form, I call a public sub on the 1st form to repopulate the combobox on the 1st form: 2nd form: Private Sub btn_save_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btn_save.Click ....here the code that updates the datasource, this works ok...

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How do I get svcutil to use generic List<> for proxies?

  I have some services that return List<SomeType> but when I generate the proxy it uses SomeType[] rather then List<SomeType>. Is there a way to change this behavior Is the /rct switch what I need If so can someone give an example of how it should be used. I actually have a bunch of services that return generic lists so I'd like to try and do this across the board rather then for a single service/type. Thanks, Steve I'm having the same issue. I'm trying to return a List generic collection reference to a custom type that I have in my solution back to the client. When I add a reference ...Show All

• SQL Server Obtaining destination e-mail address

  I have been asked if we can give NS the destination e-mail address via our Application's Event Table.  I have suggested that this defeats the purpose of using NS and that we should instead call the Subcription Classes from our system to create and manage subscriptitons.  That way we can take advantage of the more advanced Distribution features in NS.  Is this the right way to think about NS or is passing the e-mail a common practice Thanks ...Ray Ray, I understand that there's a lot ot learn before you can be productive with NS. Many things we're doing in the next release are aimed at reducing this burden. That said, N ...Show All

• Windows Forms Capture Property not working as expected

  I have created a class that acts as an in-place editor. It is basically a form that contains a textbox. The user passes in the size and then calls ShowDialog. What I want to do is capture all mouse input once the Editor has been displayed so that if the user clicks anywhere outside the textbox the editor will close. To do this I have tried overriding the OnControlCreate method, as well as handling the VisibleChanged event, and setting the Capture Property on both the Form and the Textbox to true. Nothing I have tried delivers the desired effect that the MouseDown event is triggered for the textbox (of form) when clicked outside the ...Show All
