• SQL Server Translating mistake in French version of SQL Server Management Studio

  In French version of database scheme in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (2005), in order to define foreign keys, when you choose update or delete cascade rules, it’ wrote : “Supprimer une regle”. I think it’s not the right translation because this translation means “Delete a rule”. I suppose you wanted to translate “Rule of deleting”. So, in this case, a better translation is “Regle de suppression". ...Show All

• Visual C++ Using resources in a static library

  Is it OK to use a dialog resource in a static library I've never had the need to do this and now when I try to add a CDialog class from the dialog context menu (Add Class...) I get the following error. Failed to return new Code Element. Possibly syntax error. New Element Name: <afxwin.h> I figured this might have something to do with the fact that my project is a static library. I'm using VS 2005. No ressources are only part of EXE files and solved or better added in the last linker phase. It is not possible to ad ressources (dialogs, menus) to a static library and link them dynamic.

• Windows Forms Capture KeyPresses with one control, but handle them with another

  Hi, I'm creating a usercontrol which has a child property of the type Control. The UserControl has custom code for the KeyPressed event, and will handle keys like UP, DOWN, ENTER, etc... The remaining keys should be forwarded so they can be handled by the childcontrol. My first attempt was to use: this.child.Focus(); byte[] b = new byte[] {(byte)e.KeyValue}; string sendtext = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(b); SendKeys.SendWait(sendtext); this.Focus(); but it's just ugly and it doesn't work very well. Can someone suggest a better way to achieve this There is a keypreview property on a form, if it exists on a cont ...Show All

• SQL Server Parameterized Connect String

  Is it possible to define a datasource which has a dynamic connection string based on a report parameter Specifically I'm interested in using the XML data source, but I would like to use one data source for an unlimited number of files (instead of having a separate data source for each xml file).  I was thinking that maybe I could just pass a parameter into the Render() web service method and have the connection string substitute the correct filename into the connection string. Is this possible This topic in RS BOL talks about connection strings for xml datasets: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159741.aspx -- Robert ...Show All

• Visual C# Unnecessary Namespace in Designer code

  I have a C# project which includes a dataset.xsd. I have placed an instance of the dataset on the form design view. The designer code which allocates the instance always qualifies the dataset type name with the namespace, which causes a compile failure as the form's InitialiseComponents is in the same namespace - it looks for a nested name. I can get a clean build by removing the namespace qualification from the assignment obj = new NAMESPACE.class; but of course it is re-generated anytime the design view is edited. What is the fix Regards Can you post the namespace name of your form, the data set name, the namespace ...Show All
