• Windows Forms Commit changes to binding data source without losing focus

  I am writing a win form application, and using a lot of databinding controls.  One question I have is that if I make edits in one field such as a textbox, and then click on a save button which is on the menu bar, the binding data source (data table) will tell me that nothing changed.  If I move the focus from this textbox to another textbox, then the change is acknowledged by the data source.  Same happens to adding a new record - ...Show All

• SQL Server MDAC and SQL Server 2005

  In the SQL Server 2005 upgrade advisor help file it states the following... "Upgrade Advisor detected an older version of MDAC. MDAC versions before MDAC 2.8 SP1 do not support named instances. To allow application connections to named instances, upgrade to MDAC 2.8 SP1." I've installed our application which uses ADO (not ADO.NET) to connect to an SQL Server named instance on a client machine.  Our application installs MDAC 2.6.  ...Show All

• Visual Basic How Can I Access Other Open Application Windows?

  I am trying to write a program that interacts with another third party application window. They do not expose an API that I can use, so I have to hack my way through it. The sad thing is I have actually done this in the past (I had to process a large number of cases, so I wrote a routine that pulled case numbers from an open excel window, and then closed them out in this third party application). I just can't remember how I accessed and disc ...Show All

• .NET Development Database engine not keepig up

  I am doing a "copy" operation in my application and I've noticed a strange behavior that I hope someone can help out with. I am using Access to store my data (and the associated OLEDB data provider). I'm noticing that I right after I insert a record I cannot locate that record again to properly use it another piece of logic. If I set breakpoints, it is enough of a delay that the engine "catches up", so it only happens when ...Show All

• Visual Basic XML comments

  My group is attempting to standardize on XML commenting for all of our classes and methods. We like the "Insert comments" option in VS 2005 but would like to add an additional tag <history> to the comments section. I know that we could probably do this manually each time we add a new class, but I would like to be able to have this new section come up automatically when we insert the comment. Is there a way to modify the XML co ...Show All

  I'm uncertain what the best forum is for this - I also posted this in the ASP forum.

However when I publish it to an IIS v5 environment, it fails with these errors.   3.)    .aspnet_wp.exe (PID: 3988) stopped unexpec ...Show All

• SQL Server Encryption By Passphrase

  I am investigating methods of encrypting data in a large number of databases. It seems to me that encrypting by passphrase would be optimum because it would prevent me from having to create all those database and symmetric keys on the various databases (there wil lbe dozens of them). Can anyone give me any advice as whether or not using encryption by passphrase is a good secure method of encrypting sensitive data in a large-scale production envi ...Show All

• SQL Server How to implement split and merge?

  I need to implement following flow: [Source] - > [Split] -  [IF TRUE] -> [DO SOMETHING] - [OUTPUT TO C] -  [IF FALSE] -> [DO SOMETHING ELSE] - [OUTPUT TO C] The issue is to come back to the same destination after conditional split. In other words, is there something opposite to "Multicast" I looked at Union and Merge - but it looks like it's not for this kind of things. Thanks. ...Show All

• .NET Development System.Math.Round(Double, Integer) bug?

  I'm not sure if I'm missing something here but there seems to be a bug in the System.Math.Round function from the .NET 2.0 For example, this code: Math.Round(4175 /1000, 1) Returns: 4.1999998092651367 The exact same code compiled in VB2003 (.NET 1.1) returns: 4.2 Does anyone knows why is this Thank you SO much for such a great explanation!
