  I have a form. I need to control processing during validating tabs to ask the user to save changes, also on tab_enter i need to reload data, to get current data from datasource. Customer Parent Record displayed in a detailed view customer no, name, address etc a Tabcontrol with a Master Child relationship: Tab1 = customer notes  datagridview Tab2 = customer letters datagridview Tab 3 = customer jobs datagriview Scenario:   The Tab_Validating event prompts the user to save any changes, when the user moves from tab to tab and also on form validating + closing.

• Visual Studio BUG in TextSelection.Insert ?

  Hi, I have lot of Macros which I did for VS.NET 2003 which use : Dim TS As TextSelection = DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection TS.Insert("__END", vsInsertFlags.vsInsertFlagsInsertAtEnd) which have to insert text at the end of selection, but I do not know for what reason in Visual Studio .NET 2005 it does not work (it inserts text at start what is absolutely bad !!!  - seams to be like bad nightmare ) Why is behavior of same method absolutely changes between VS.NET 2003 and 2005 releases Or am I doing something wrong Thanks for reply.

• Visual FoxPro Improved memo fields in grids

  Hi all; I've posted this before. Its hard for me to believe that there are no good solutions for this: I'd like to change the way a memo field is represented in a grid to something better looking than "Memo" or "memo". I'd like to have a command button, maybe with an icon representing if there is data in the memo field or not. Also, I would like to keep the capability in VFP9 that shows a kind of a tooltip with the content when hovering on a memo field which has content. I've tried to put a cmd in a grid but its not even visible unless it gets focus. Any ideas I'd like to chan ...Show All

• Windows Forms Visual GDI+

  I think I wrote something about a graphics wish before, but it was way more advance than this one. It will be nice if there was software or a part of Visual Studio.Net that acts like a graphics program were you can draw drawings and those drawing to be converted to code, and resource files.

• Visual C++ vc++8.0 bug: access violation upon call of any CImageList methods

  I have sucessfully imported and compiled a complex MFC 6.0 project from vc++6.0  into vc++ 8.0 (MFC 8.0). It contains several subprojects (libs and dlls). In vc++ 6.0 those project linked MFC6.0 statically and after I imported it to vc++ 8.0 I set the linkage of MFC8.0 to "shared". However when I try to compile and link the project in vc++ 8.0 in release mode (debugmode works fine) I get an acess violation in afxcomctl32.inl. This happnes whenever I call any of the CImageList methods. When I comment out all lines that call mehtods of CImageList everything work fine in release mode too.

• Visual Basic explanation of delegates

  I'm reading Wrox: Professional VB 2005, and also Microsoft's visual basic 2005 step by step. In March I'll get Microsoft's visual basic 2005 core reference. In the meantime I'd like some detailed explanation of delegates. I can use them but don't really understand why I should. Can somebody give me a reference to some in-depth discussion of delegates dennist685 dynamic behavior asynchronous programming One of the things that made VBSUX an awful development environment was the lack of delegates! Give it a little while, and you will begin to wonder how VBSUX ever got to be so popular without them! ...Show All

• SQL Server How to execute ssis package from stored procedure

  how to excute ssis package from stored procedure and get the parameters back from ssis into the stored procedure. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Permission to execute sp_oacreate has to be explicitly granted to users if they aren't to be given membership of the sysadmins role. As I understand it, if you can execute a sp_oacreate command you can run any command line using wsccript.shell. SQL injection attack springs to mind.... This approach is far from ideal and only seems to be appropriate where the users are known, trusted etc. I remember reading a forum question from a person want ...Show All

• Visual C++ Implement a Interface defined in C#

  Hello, Is it possible to implement a interface defined in C# in a C++ project If not, is there any way to code around this problem Thanks. Yeah.  Use C++/CLI (labelled CLR) in Visual Studio 2005.  C++/CLI, also known as "Managed C++" is a CLS-compliant .NET language that lets you write classes that interoperate with other .NET languages.  In your case, you write the interface in C#, reference the containing assembly from your C++/CLI project, and then write the implementation class that inherits from the interface. But... there is a bit of a learning curve in understanding wha ...Show All
