• Windows Forms book for learning to develop controls

  I can't seem to find a good book focusing on developing custom controls.  Every book I've bought or looked through seems to just skim the surface of creating controls because the book as a whole focuses on either asp.net or win forms or something larger in scale and therefore only devotes maybe 1 chapter to custom controls.  I've looked through&nb ...Show All

• Visual C# height and width

  my web user control is composed by a panel (h=100%,w=100%) which contains a table (h=80%,w=100%) with a datagrid and a button and a panel (h=fixed px,w=100%)with another table. This second panel is first invisible and then visible when button is clicked. I try to put it in my web form where there is a table. My problem is that if the table in web form is short, the user control not resize and i can't see the second panel.   Thx If I understand your situation correctly, you should explicitly set the height of the cell that contains the user control to the minimum allowable height for the user control to be fully se ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) avoiding right arrow presses after entering a quoted property

  As I'm going through the FebCTP examples, I'm entering the xaml in manually to explore and better remember the available properties. When entering a property like VerticalAlignment that has in-built options (Stretch, Top, Etc.), pressing tab results in the cursor moving to the right of the quote. This is helpful and allows entering further properties without moving to the arrow keys. When entering a property value that isn't appearing in intellisense (like a Heading or Click that is done manually), pressing tab or enter just insert whitespace inside the quotes. Pressing shift+enter results in a newline being created above and the cursor ...Show All

• SQL Server How can I tell which CTP I have?

  I received SQL Server 2005 CTP in my June MSDN shipment. But it seems to be missing specific functionality that I would expect in the latest June CTP. Specifically, I don't see the 'Transfer Database' task in the Integration Service project template. A fellow on the NG told me that he has this task in his environment. He reported his SQL version as being 9.00.1187.07, while my version is 9.00.1116.00. So which CTP do I have Am I using April or June Thanks for your help!

• SQL Server YTD calculations performance

  Hi, I'm having problems with a calculated measure which is being used for returning year to date sales from the product dimension. The problem is that the performance is incredibly slow even on a very small subset of the data, and I haven't actually managed to have the sample query (below) return as of yet (I've had it running for 45+ minutes). The measure is very simple: CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[MEASURES].[Sales YTD] AS Aggregate(PeriodsToDate([Time].[Year - Month].[Year], [Time].[Year - Month].CurrentMember), [Measures].[Sales]) I'm using it in the following query which should return about 370 rows: SELECT NON EMPTY {  [Me ...Show All
