• .NET Development problem in using DropDownList Control

  Hi All, I am developing a small web application in 1.1 framework. I am using a DropDownList control. I have coded a selected index changed event for that, and set the autopostback property to true. When i select any value from dropdown, it triggers this event alright, but again displays the 0th value from drop down. What could be wrong. Code Snippet: private void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged( object sender, System.EventArgs e) { DataView dv; Students st = new Students(); dv = st.DataLoad(); dv.RowFilter = "Student = '" + DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Value + "'"; // always returns 0th r ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Pageframe

  Dear Sir, How to make a pageframe moveable On form, I want to move pageframe with mouse on some different location. Please help Thanks in advance Tariq, You can do something like this. However keep in mind due to performance it's common to save page contents as class and instantiate that class when needed - if that's the case for you, either class should have the same code of pgfMover class or inherit from that class. Also note that pgfMover class doesn't make any checks if it has parent.parent and simply assumes used only with pageFrames : Public oForm oForm = Createobject('myForm') oForm.Show Define Class myForm As Form & ...Show All

• Windows Forms Another DataGridView Bug in VS.NET 2005

  Hello there, I think I've run into another bug within the DataGridView control. I've got some kind of bigger project here where I use DataGridView in several forms. But everywhere I use it, I can't get access to its properties. They simply aren't displayed. The property explorer remains empty when I select one of those DataGridViews. It seems to be a bug 'cos VS.NET crashes when I select the DataGridView via the DropDown list right above the property explorer. I can't continue my work if I won't be able to access the properties of my DataGridViews... so please, if there is anybody who can help... any kind of help would be greatly appreciate ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Problem creating a parallel version of the ForEach example activity

  I am trying to create a custom activity that is similar to the ForEach example posted in the custom activity gallery: http://www.windowsworkflow.net/ControlGallery/ControlDetail.aspx Control=2222&tabindex=2   The code below is basically modifications to that sample (i.e. the activity inherits from CompositeActivity, etc.) The difference is that I want the set of activities executed to be done in parallel rather than serially. I’ve been trying to figure out how to accomplish it but have been running into some (perhaps naive) problems. The code looks like the following:   private void ExecuteChild( ActivityEx ...Show All
