• SQL Server SQL Express Connection Issues

  Hi folks. I'm having some issues getting started using C# and SQL Server Express. I'm trying to create a C# project to just connect to a SQLSE DB just so I can start learning how to use it. I've used the SQLSE Surface Area Config Utility to enable remote and local connections, and it gives me error 26 about the default config not allowing remote connections. I then altered the connection string from .\SQLEXPRESS to .\MSSQLEXPRESS which is the instance of the service running on my PC. When I do this, it throws error 25: invalid connection string. I also have ensured that the 'User Instance' field is set to True (but I have tr ...Show All

• Windows Forms Setting DataGridView.DataSource = null erases the columns I set up in design mode

  Based on the user's selection in a combo box, I want to update the contents of a DataGridView from a stored procedure. So I set its DataSource = the DataTable that has the data. The user can also have nothing selected in the combo box (SelectedIndex == -1). In this case the DataGridView should be empty. So here I set the DataSource = null. The problem is that after I set the DataSource = null, I lose the columns that I had set up in design mode and can't get them back. What is the "correct" way to do this so I don't lose the columns Presuming that you are always binding to the same D ...Show All

• Visual C# Can I build my project to an unmeneged program

  Hi, I wrote a program in VS2005 beta 2 and I was wondering if there is a way to build and compile the program to the native computer and not to .NET. If not, is there a way to take the project from VS2005 and transform it to VS2003 project in some way. The Visual C# compiler only produces .NET assemblies. This is true whether you use Visual C# 2003 or Visual C# 2005. If you wish to create native executable images that do not target the CLR then you need to use Visual C++. You can use Visual C++ 2005 or any earlier version you may have.   Cheers, Kenny Kerr Microsoft MVP http://weblogs.asp.net/ken ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Clarification

  So if i'm right, Microsoft is releasing MSN Messenger Activity API's for the protocol Good, in a way, but will Microsoft change they're licence to allow us to create applications (such as MSN Messenger Robots and 3rd Party MSN Messenger Clients) that will connect to the .NET Messenger Network , because if not, then this is really just for refrence.... Yes, although the protocol itself you don't have to worry about, which is part of the coolness of this. Yes, the idea is to allow more third-party apps. ...Show All

  Hi I have a brief question about filling in some column inside the DataGridView automatically. Specifically something like ID column should be filled by the computer while other fields are filled by the user. My intent is whenever a user decides to add a row inside the database, he can fill out all the relavent information while the computer should fill in the rest of the information required by the database (Id...). Is there a way to accomplish this using VB Express Thanks. hi, i don't know your database sqlserver or access anyway in sqlserver if you set the id field int and make it unique and pr ...Show All

• .NET Development Number of rows to be updated...

I have a DataGridView setup with a DataAdapter.  Is there anyway to determine the number of rows about to be updated when the dataadapter's update method is called   I am trying to setup a progressbar for when data is committed and I can increment the progressbar with the dataadapter's RowUpdated event, but for the progressbar to be accurate I would need the total number of rows about to be updated.
