• Visual C# Error during reflection - dependancy not found

  Hi guys, When attempting to create an instance of a type, in an assembly I am getting an error saying that a referenced assembly, or one of it's dependencies cannot be found. I decompiled the assembly using the ildasm tool and copied all the referenced assemblies into the same folder but it doesn't seem to have fixed the issue. Any thoughts I'm getting pretty desperate, as if I can get this to work I'll have finished a major project. Thanks, Steve. I think you didn't add the reference of the assembly in your project file. Right click ur project, click Add Reference>Click Browse select your as ...Show All

• Windows Forms Windows Forms, Avalon (XAML) and the future

  Hi, Does anyone know if XAML will ever find its way in to Windows forms What I'm trying to establish is whether sometime in the future (before Longhorn though), XAML will be used to define a more traditional Windows forms app. Something like the MyXaml open source project. Regards Graham MyXaml is the only one that works with any object model, including windows forms. This is because it is generic. It only took two days to write the MyXaml serializer for windows forms. ...Show All

• .NET Development Unable to modify database data (ADO.Net, C++, ODBC)

  I am trying to learn how to use DataSets to edit data in a database using the ODBC .Net provider. I would also like to have an OdbcCommandBuilder buid the SQL commands for me. In this simple example, I created a small MS Access database with two tables (Table0 and Table 1), with a few columns, and populated with a few rows in each. I am able to connect to the database using a DSN (only targetting Table0), query and properly populate a DataSet - "properly", as far as getting some basic information back. Then I try to Clear the table from all its rows, and then I try to update the database by using the OdbcDataAdapter Update function. The upda ...Show All

• .NET Development BeforeXxx/AfterXxx - Event Naming Guidelines

  Hi learning Event Naming Guidelines  in details I found Microsoft dosn't recomend using BeforeXxx/AfterXxx event naming. I see Before/After describes well events call sequence and a lot of companies use such convention too. What is the reason for that Even MS does not follow this guideline, check the TreeView. There are 5 events that start with Before/After. I think guidelines are there to guide you and sometime you need to go against them for your code to be easier to read. ...Show All

• Windows Forms storing user settings

  Newbie question: I have an app in which I want to be able to store certain basic settings per user (color scheme, form location, etc.). The book I am reading recommends storing these settings in isolated storage. This sounds good to me, but I am wondering what is the benefit over simply storing these settings in a SQL table  I am already goin ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView RowLeave

  I used the RowLeave event to execute tableadapter update to the database. This works fine. But when I try to edit a dropcombobox the value chosen is diplayed but as soon as I click another row the value get's resetted to the previous value. When I first select another cell on the same row! after editing the combobox and then click on another row, the value stays as it shoulds. It seems like the combobox (wich has editcontrolshowing) has a different behavior upon selecting another column instead of a new row. How to take care the selected value showing get's the actual value upon selecting a new row I checked the Cell.Va ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro VFP linked server issue

  We're using SQL Server for the majority of our applications, but our accounting package is still in VFP 8.0.  I need to make some costing adjustements from our inventory program.  I have linked the VFP database to SQL Server just fine and, using OPENQUERY, I can SELECT data without a hitch.  Performing an UPDATE or INSERT, however, is a different story.  I get the following error: "Server: Msg 7301, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Could not obtain a required interface from OLE DB provider 'VFPOLEDB'." Scouring the internet wasn't very helpful on this.  Can anyone offer me any suggestions ...Show All
