• Architecture Advantages of OOP ?

  Hello, Im a fun of OOP designs. I design my bussiness classes when I start a new project. Then maybe I will write mapper classes for bussiness classes to map DB tables or using an O/RM tool or an ODBMS . Think that this project is big one and it has long deadline. You will develop it 2 or 3 years. Requirements will be changed. To develop this project with OOP designs and n-Tier application design is good idea. But I am asking myself ...Show All

• Visual C# Positioning windows form...

• Visual Studio Express Editions VWD requires SQL Server Express 2005 ?

  Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that VWD Express can connect to SQL Server Express, but not to SQL Server 2000 This is rather surprising, as I've always seen that new IDE products *expand* on the database providers available, not provide *less* connectivity. Going the other way, i.e., *requiring* SQL Server Express in order to connect to data, will make VWD's usefulness very low for many developers. Can anybody explain this to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Copy/Paste

  Is it normal that when I selected a shape, the copy/paste operations are disabled I suppose copy and pasting of shape is not supported Is there an easy way to make it work Thanks! Mike Hi Mike, Yes, that's the expected behavior.  We're not planning to enable Copy/Paste by default for V1, although it's not too hard to implement yourself.  Hopefully we'll have a V1 code sample that shows ...Show All

• Visual C# VS2005 randomly unable to find classes

  Hi I have a problem with Visual Studio 2005, in that it suddenly decides, quite randomly, that it can't find classes that exist within a particular namespace, even if the solution previously compiled ok. I can be quite happily fiddling with one completely unrelated file, but when I try and run the ASP.NET 2.0 C# application, it suddenly decides it can't find the class; even if the file in which it is defined is in the same solution, and e ...Show All

• SQL Server Newbie question about Object transfer

  Hi, I'm new to Integration Services and I have a problem when I try to make a simple transfer of tables and views between 2 DB. The idea is to copy tables and views from DB1 to DB2. If the object exists in the target DB, it must be dropped, then created and the data must be copied. The problem occurs when a new object is created in the source DB and thus does not exist in the target DB. This throws an error because the system cannot ...Show All

The default values are fine, they were set up in the column properties of the datatable. But how do I change the one special column If I use the addnewitem event in the bindingnavigator, does this occur AFTER the new ro ...Show All
