• Windows Forms Master-Detail Binding Support for Custom Object Datasources??? (for DataGridView’s)

  Hi, Can VS2005 Beta 2 support having 2 DataGridView’s in a Master-Detail arrangement, but when the underlying data which the DataGridView’s are bound to (albeit via a bindingsource) are custom Lists (e.g. BindingList<T>), where the master list of A objects, each A object contains another list of item B objects.   An example of potential A, B classes are shown below (where class Person has a list of Detail objects in it). If this is possible is there a simple example which can be provided BTW - The actual object is to break-up management of a detailed list of data into a Master view (which is summarised) and a drill down ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Bug in MDI WindowList ??

  I think I've found a bug in the way Express updates its child windows in the window menu. If you have only 1 child form and change the caption (okay.. text, old habits are hard to break.) the windows list doesn't update the change in the menu to reflect the new form text. Bonkers !! Now, if you add another child form the list corrects itself.. the same is true if you switch focus from one child form to another, but no changes occur for just 1 child. I've been trying to call methods to make the windowlist update (putting the methods in the forms own text change event for simplicity) but nothing seems to work. Don't ask me how I noticed this, ...Show All

• SQL Server Getting “EXECUTE permission denied on object 'sp_start_job'” from activation procedure.

  Hi guys, please see if you can help me with this...   I have an activation stored procedure that starts a SQL Agent Job which executes a SSIS package.   However when the stored procedure runs it fails with the error EXECUTE permission denied on object 'sp_start_job'. The message queue was created under the ‘sa’ account, and I have tried setting the activation procedure to run as SELF, OWNER as well as creating a user account with sysadmin rights and running it under that account, all with the same   result.   When I run the stored procedure manually (under pretty much any of the accounts I have set up) it e ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista PNG Icon format

  Hi, Windows Vista's new icon format (where individual device images can be PNG images) doesn't get along very well with some applications, including ones I've written and ones I use. The way the PNG data is stored is causing problems -- it is not backwards compatible with the documented icon resource format.  When my program examines the icon data to get the dimensions and color depth, Vista's icons have raw PNG data here, so my program ends up thinking the icon is 169478669 x 109051904 pixels, and 389715300-bit color depth.  When Microangelo, an icon editing program that I use, opens a .ico file with a PNG image in ...Show All

• .NET Development UDP.Send exception issue / TCP Error 11004 Maybe

  Hi, This hopefully is extremely easy, but here we must have a mental block or something as we are battling a recurring Exception issue in the system Dll on this one line of simple code that sends UDP messages We only use UDP and no TCP/IP calls We only recently noticed this exeption as these were not being caught in the Application error handler in the application, but rather in the System.dll. Each time we send a UDP message we generate this exception and it is a performance hammer as we are sending hmmm one every 20 ms or about 50 a second Here is the exact Exeception info: ------------------------------- A first chance ex ...Show All

• Windows Forms Developing on Windows 64 bit Edition

  I am about to start a big project developing a CRM type package using Visual studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005. In order to do so I have just built myself a new PC with 4096Mb of RAM, however after installing Windows XP Pro I have found that the OS only recognises 3.25 Gig of the memory despite it being counted successfully. In order to fix this problem I have been told by someone to upgrade to Windows XP Pro 64 Bit Edition. I am now concerned that this will cause problems in either the development of my application or, compatibility issues when I come to roll it out on 32 bit workstations. Does anyone know what the situation is with developin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Using AssemblyInfo task in Team Build

  Hi I've been using the AssemblyInfo task from SDC together with Team Build to update all dll's built by my TFSBuild.proj file. I've also changed the source code for this task slightly to output another property from the task which I want to use to give a number to my installers (very similar to assemblyversion but 3 digits instead of 4) that I also create as part of the Team Build process. Currently I have the assemblyinfo task's target file imported into my tfsbuild.proj file, but what I want to do is somehow pass it into all of my installer.csproj files (there is one for each solution I am building in Team Build). Any ideas appreciated ...Show All

• Visual C# Is it generally more efficient to pass by ref?

  Just a random thought, but, since passing by value means a creating a copy of the variable, I'm assuming that passing by reference is more efficient in processor terms. Hence should one always pass by ref when given the choice (eg. when the method being passed the parameter doesn't modify it), or is the performance benefit (presumably pitifully insignificant for most simple variables) negated by the reduced readability ("why have they used refs everywhere !"). Thanks! Carlos PS sorry if this is a hopelessly newbesque question... It's not that simple. It's true that passing by ref copies the value or reference in the case of ...Show All

• Visual Basic Pardon my ignorance.. Visual Basic ".NET" ?

  I've been out of the development loop for over 4 years. What is this Visual Basic ".NET" Is it a different version of Visual Basic I've seen Visual Basic 6 and Visual Basic 2005. What is the latest version, and how does Visual Basic ".NET" fit into all of this I didn't see a ".NET" version of VB for sale.. Clearly I'm missing something. Any help or links to more info appreciated! .NET is a framework for writing applications, any Visual studio past 6 is .NET by definition. Both C# and VB since VS2002 target the common language runtime, which means that they can use each others cl ...Show All
