• Windows Forms Search for a value in a DataGrid Column.

  How do you search for a value in the first column of a DataGrid For example, the first Column of my DataGrid is Called InspectionID. It's a hidden Column. Lets say the InspectionID is 50, I wish to search or scan or interogate the first Column called InspectionID to find which ROW has the value of InspectionID = 50. Then I need to make the DataGrid select that row. Keep in mind that the DataGrid may have 1, 5 or 50 rows of data. I could iterate, but supose I have 100,000 rows....... it would be extremely ineficient, and very flashy too! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Getting revision number from teambuild build number

  Hi all, It seems that TeamBuild defines the buildnumber for a given build in a manner similar to "20060531.13". We would like to use this information when updating the AssemblyInfo.cs files. Namely, to use the 20060531 part and the "13" part in the AssemblyVersion build and revision fields. We are already using the AssemblyInfo task, but we see that it maintains it's own incremental numbers, which are not related to the TeamBuild incrementals, which means that are Assembly versions will not tie in with the lables applied in TeamBuild Is there any properties other than BuildNumber that would give us separately the 2006053 ...Show All

• Visual Studio MSBuild task use VSIP or VS automation?

  Hi, Is it possible for a task I write (that's called from MSBuild) to use VSIP interfaces or VS automation I've created my own output window pane and I'd like my MSBuild task to write to that custom output window pane. Thanks! It should be possible for your task to use VSIP interfaces or VS automation to communicate with your custom output pane. I have to admit, though, that its not something that we've tried. One thing you should make sure though is that if the project is built from the command-line that the task will fall-back gracefully in the absence of VS. Hope that helps! ..Kieran ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do I simultaneously display a container and its child controls?

  How do I simultaneously display a container and its child controls I have seen similar posts as this throughout the web and the community, but cannot seem to locate an answer. It seems the regions where controls are laid out are not invalidated by the container and show the window beneath. I see this with switching between forms, but in my case I also see it when switching between tab pages. I have tried setting double-buffering through SetStyle and overriding OnPaintBackground for the controls, the parent container, the tab page... but nothing works. It doesn't matter how many controls are on the form, its just that its a little mo ...Show All

• SQL Server Programmatically changing a DataReader's SQL statement

  Hi, I was wondering how I could dynamically change the SQL statement (ie the SQLCommand property) of a DataReader source. The source is reading an IBM AS400 file, with the SQL statement: SELECT itrloc, itrdat, itrcen, csreg#, cstrn#, csseq#, inumbr, cstime, itrqty, itrret, itrreg, itrcst, idept, isdept, iclas, isclas, csdosp, cmcust, csacct, salit, cstntp, csldgr FROM clib.scsaltrn WHERE itrdat between 50901 and 50931 I want to programmatically change the date figures on the end (50901 and 50931) each time the package is run. I have tried to use variables in place of the date figures but this didn't work. I've also thought of using the Scri ...Show All

• SQL Server Connections

  I've got a third party download app that creates ten connections to Sql Server 2000 per user!  We've got an average of 40 users/day and so we have around 400 connections floating around all day just for this one small app!  We asked the vendor and all they will say is "it's working as designed". So here are my questions: 1.  Is there ANY reason on planet earth, performance or otherwise, that someone would require ten connections ! 2.  How can I get it across that this is unacceptable   How can I calculate how many connections Sql Server can handle   Are there any rules of thumb that I can use for leverage ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS.2005 native C++ app : jit debugger takes hand, start loading, then app exits - no break on the exception

  I have a weird issue with VS.2005 Pro. JIT debugging seems broken. An executable crashes, I get the OK/CANCEL and click CANCEL. I then get the choice of a debugger and select a new instance of VS. The new instance starts, I see it loading and preparing like it did with VS.2003. And then instead of displaying the dialog box about the exception that occured and offering me to "break", the output window simply shows the application exited. I get no opportunity to break on the exception which occured.   What could be wrong Indeed, native exception. Had it first with my main project (a big one), thought I h ...Show All
