• Smart Device Development Can we use Arraylists in CF?

  Hi. I have some images as Byte arrays in my application. Can anyone tell me if it is possible for me to store those images in a Arraylist So that I can just run a for loop and insert those images one by one to the SQL CE database Thanks. Yes, you can. By the way, why could not you just insert them into SQL CE database right away instead of storing them in the list This way you will save some memory as images won't be in the RAM all at once. ...Show All

• Visual C# Visual C# Look and Feel nice in XP, ordinary in 2000, why?

  Hi, I downloaded and am running Visual C# Express on my Windows 2000 machine. At first, I was slightly taken aback by the clumsy, clunky look of some of the dialogs in the IDE itself. That is, some of the buttons were strangely large and the size of some dialogs just didn't come anywhere near the professional, smart look of say, Office 2000. For example the "Edit Rows and Columns..." dialog if you right-click on a TableLayout panel. I'm not being picky here, I'll send a screenshot when I get home - it looks quite unproportioned and particularly ugly ;-) I have 1152x864 resolution. I was guessing that it was something to do with the ...Show All

• .NET Development Client Side Proxy Class

  I am a newbie to web services and I am using the Visual Web Studio Express edition. I have created a web service that interfaces with Navision and testing shows that it works. When I add a web reference to my client side app that points to this web service the code generated is in C#. How do I get it to generate VB Hello Michael, Not sure if that version of VS.NET comes with the utility wsdl.exe but if it does then you could manually create the web service client proxy using "wsdl /l:VB http://myserver/myservice.asmx".

• SQL Server Sql Server Merge Replication vs. Sql Server Transactional with updatable subscribtion

  Hi, Transactional replication allows updatable subscriptions where changes at the subscriber are replicated up to the publisher, this can happen via Immediate Updating subscriptions, Queue subscriptions and P2P (new in SQL 2005), all forms of Transactional replication. Any compared document between merge replication and Transactional with updatable subscribtion Thanks, Tarek Ghazali SQL Server MVP There is no doc, just what's in Books Online, which can be summarized as: Transactional replication is typical for server to server environment requiring low latency.

• Windows Forms Controls inside a control being added twice

  I'm trying to make a textox that is supposed to have a button inside of it. I add this button to the textbox in my control assembly, in the constructor. Then I compile the control, add it to the toolbox and drag an instance to one of my forms. the problem is, when i run the program and the form shows up, it shows two buttons instead of only one. when i look at the designer generated code, i realize that Visual Studio (both 2003 and 2005) is adding a line that re-adds another instance of the same button to my control. if i added this line in the constructor of my control's assembly, why is it showing up in the InitializeComponent event of my ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Fork and parallelism

  Trying the product and then reading some comments I realized that the activities in a fork does not run in parallel, instead they run from left to right, and top down. Why is the purpose of a fork if it doesn't run in parallel   If I would want the current deterministic fork behavior I shouldn’t implement it a as sequence instead of a fork Is there a simple way to implement the desired parallel fork behavior Maybe I'm missing some concepts that are misleading me, so any help is appreciated.

• Visual Studio Team System Need to check a property of a Windows.Forms.Control

  Hello! Great forum btw! I need to check some properties of a text box on a form, let say the ForeColor. so far, I got the name and the type of the member, but I don't know where to look to get the value of the ForeColor property. Can anyone help me Thanks You can certainly do something like this using Reflection, if you have a valid object instance. In our static checker, however, you don't have an object that can be queried for a specific value. If you want to accomplish something statically, you'd need to follow the initialize component logic to see if the ForeColor is set to any particular value. I don' ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Remote Connection Problem... Big Time.

  Hi, I installed SQL server 2005 express edition on my windows server and I had no problem with connecting it remotely through Management Studio, then I removed it and installed a full edition SQL server 2005.
