• .NET Development DataGridView Problem

  I recently started using ADO.NET with VB/C# .NET and I'm really liking it. I also recently ran into a problem with the DataGridView control.  I added a DGV Control to my Windows Forms application and bound it to a DataSource.  Now it's working great and everything but anytime it has enough rows to warrent the use of the Vertical Scroll bar it locks up my Apps UI for some reason.  I can't for the life of me figure this one out.  If anyone has any suggestions/comments please post them. Thanks! -Chad Figured it out-- it was becuase I was calling the sub that was adding this information into the DB was on ano ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server June CTP Installation With SQL Server Express

  Hello, I have installed a copy of Visual Web Developer Beta over the Internet which comes with an April version of SQL Server Express. I tried to install SQL Server 2005 June CTP on the same machine but it says it has incompatible beta components from Visual Studio or SQL server. Does this mean that the two can't co-exist on the same machine Hello. 1) Stop and disable SQLEXPRESS service in one of the service managers 2) Run " SQL Server 2005 June CTP \ Setup Tools\Build Uninstall Wizard\sqlbuw.exe", this should uninstall your ".NET Framework" and might remove your " SQL Server Express", but not your "Visua ...Show All

• Windows Forms VS 2005 Designer Error when dragging UserControl Onto Form

  I created a form that uses Enterprise Library - DAAB - version Jan 2006 to access the DB in its constructor. Everything works fine; however, when I created a UserControl that attempts to store that form as a variable, the VS 2005 designer will not let me drag that UserControl onto a new form. It gives me the following error: “Failed to create component ‘UserControl’. The error message follows: ‘System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of object.

• Software Development for Windows Vista What are the minimum requirements for hosting the design surface?

  Hello I have a legacy system into which I would like to have a workflow designer. As it is a legacy system, I really don't have much more than a HWND to work with. Is it possible to host the designer in this sort of environment Best Regards Peter Villadsen  The design surface is based on System.Component so you need to have the .NET CLR loaded in your process at a minimum.  I think that your HWND will also need to be associated with a Microsoft.Windows.Forms style window.  There's a lab on how to host the designer (Lab 12) in our downloadable hands on labs here .

• .NET Development Binary file I/O - use FileStream Class or BinaryReader/Writer?

  I am doing binary byte oriented File I/O. with non-sequential access. I started using BinaryReader and BinaryWriter Classes. I soon discovered that those classes don't apparently do Seek etc. so I switched to using the FileStream Class. I cannot see much advantage in using BinaryReader/BinaryWriter when I can do everything I need to do with FileStream. When would it be beneficial to use BinaryReader/BinaryWriter and not the FileStream class Thanks, David Harrison well one major difference is the ease of reading/writing data. The Reader/Writer are nothing more than helpers for the stream you c ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Requests...

  May be it's too late, but I think this requests could be scheduled at least for a SP1 if it's not possible for the RTM. 1) Execute Task without debugger: it would be very nice to be able to execute a single task without going in debugging mode. Just as you would ask "Start Without Debugging CTRL+F5" but for a single task 2) Customize default properties for task and component: when you drag a task on the package you get a default value for the properties that you could want to change; often I need to change the same property in the same way each time (for example I'd like to set the Batch Size for a OLE DB destination to 1000 instead than 0 ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Planning Application Development: Reference about 'Where to Put Stuff'?

  Forgive my profound ingnorance, but having access to all historical documentation is not helping : I need to plan for Vista while maintaining XP compatability. The systems admins where I work (gov site) are really turning up security. Back in the old days, we wrote apps with INI files that we kept in the applications installation folder (under Program Files). We often used that or another file to keep program state information. Then we moved to using Windows Registry keys to store installation (LocalMachine) and current user information about the application. Now my sys admins are saying my apps should not be able to write to the registry AN ...Show All
