• Visual C# Context Menu

  I had tried adding a context menu to a form with a menu item. But upon running the program, and upon right click, I could not see the context menu appear. Is there any other settings that need to be done Please advise. You should assign the context menu you've created to the control's ContextMenu propery, in order to make use of it. Form for example, you can assign context menu to its ContextMenu property. Hope this helps, -chris ...Show All

• SQL Server OK HERE IS HOW IT IS DONE!!!

  I'm a developer for a rich client application with a primary grid that should be refreshed when data is changed by other users. I loath to resort to some sort of polling. It would be really cool if there is a native way to raise an event on the client from a SQL Server trigger. RAISEERROR can send a message to the Connection's InfoMessage() event. But of course this will only send the message back to the user who made the change. Is there anyway in SQL Server to raise an error message on another process so that this ADO event can pick it up 1.

• Visual Studio Drillthrough report with remote processing in web report viewer

  I've built a set of drill through reports using the Navigation tab.  I'm rendering the reports via the Reportviewer control in an ASP.NET app (RTM).  To accomlish this do I need to write code in the " Drillthrough" event to set the parameters of the drill through report and change the Report path for the reportviewer control   If so, how do I capture the value from the parent report in order to pass it to the drill through report Yes you just need to avoid setting the parameters on every postback.

• .NET Development Is there a way to force derived classes to implement serializable?

     I have a base class which is serializable. When I distribute this class I need to ensure that any derived classes will have to implement serializable or throw an error.  After looking through the documentation I added the [Serializable] attribute, will this do it Not by using attributes The SerializableAttribute 's i nherited property is set to false, so the attribute is not added to any derived classes.

• Visual Basic (Public) Property Statement

  I am using a number of (public) property statements (.NET 2003) to pass variables between classes. All are working fine except for the statements where I am passing 2D arrays. When I step through the code, the set is working fine, when I step into the get, the values are empty strings.

• Windows Forms Specify ConnectString at Installation Time

  I want to write a C# program which needs talk to an Access database. I plan to add this program to Windows Task Schedule so the program can run periodically and automatically. Since this program needs to run automatically, it cannot take user input at run time. I also do not know where is the database file until the program is distributed to individual users. That is to say, I do not know the ConnectString until installation time. How can I solve this problem I can think of using registry to store database file location information at installation time or using a *.ini file to do the job. But I am not sure if it is good to do in these ways. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System AD -> SD: Override settings

  Today I am confronted with the following questions.. 1. If application diagram component's overridable settings are changed, system diagram also gets updated. In SD, under what circumstances will I need to override settings (just to make my deployment validation successful ) 2. Since code generation can be done from only AD, why am I able to override the default settings in SD (These overrided values will not be implemented in code) 3. Say, I am a consultant who have a lot of generic applications represented in AD. I will create many systems based on this AD. Does it make more sense if I generate code from SD with all my custom ...Show All
