• Windows Forms Winforms

  Hi, I'm developing a simple windows form on .NET using c#. The form has a button(button1) that adds buttons (button2,button3........)to the form when clicked at run time. I'm finding it difficult to write the mouseEvents ie. the MouseLeave, MouseClick and MouseEnter events as well as the code for the button1. Below is how far I've gone. I would appreciate your help with this.

• SQL Server Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server

  Hello Everyone, I have instaled SQLExpress September on my Windows Server 2003 Standard. and I work on a windows XP SP2 for development using Visual studio Web Edition (Beta2) which comes with sql server 2005 too. I've built my application and tested it on my computer and everything went fine. But When I copied the application to the server, it showed the following error: "Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path.

• .NET Development Execute a list of SqlCommands

  My client/server architecture is designed in a queued fashion: the client may send many messages to the server, and from there, the server will create SqlCommand objects, and execute each one in SQL server. What I'd like to do is find a more efficient way to execute lots of commands; currently, I do: // open a connection SqlConnection connection = new SqlCommand(...); // create a command SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("DoSomething", connection);  command.Parameters.AddRange(...); // Execute it. command.ExecuteNonQuery();   Unfortunately, doing this for every command for, say, a few hundred commands, is fairly sl ...Show All

• SQL Server Overloaded Stored Procedure

  Hi I want to create two stored procedures with the same name but accepting different params. Lets say Procedure A can accept param1, Procedure A can also accept param1,param2. Is there any way SQL Server supports overloaded procedures with different sigantures. Regards Imtiaz You can use a feature called numbered stored procedures. So you can create somesp;1 and somesp;2. But I would not recommend doing this since the feature is being deprecated. In general, for data access or modifications you want to keep the TSQL interfaces simple to use. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Encapsulating Win Form's Controls Logic in a Class...

  Hi all, are there any Classes (.dll's) out there that encapsulate the common events and methods used by Windows Form's Controls What I mean is, for example, the ListView Control, is there a Class that encapsulates its main events to carry out common methods (checking , unchecking all rows in the event of a Column Header press etc etc). The reason I ask is because for each Windows Form I create in my application, I am repeating alot of the logic for the same Controls that appear across many Forms. Thanks Tryst If you want to 'extend' the logic of an existing control, you could create you own control that inherits from the original contr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office MSFlexGrid OCX license enforcement

  My app has used a MSFlexGrid OCX control for many years. I cannot even say where the original OCX came from - the previous developer found it. After porting to Studio 2005 the app now complains that the OCX is not licensed (see http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/AddPost.aspx ForumID=29&SiteID=1) but only on certain boxes - in this case an XP box with only Studio 2005 installed. It works on boxes with both Studio 2003 and Studio 2005 installed. On clean customer-installed boxes the install CD has worked fine in the past with 2003 builds of the app. The offending XP box did NOT have the key HKCR\Licenses\ 72E67120-5959-11cf-91F6-C2 ...Show All

• Windows Forms Event firing in DataGridView DataGridViewComboBoxCells

  I have a DataViewGrid (virtual) to which I have added a row of DataGridViewComboBoxCells. My problem is that when one of the DataGridViewComboBoxCells is dropped downand you click on any of the other DataGridViewComboBoxCells in the same row then no event appears to fire. The drop down closes but the edit does not move to the combobox you clicked on. This problem only occurs if the first combobox is dropped down and you try to navigate with a mouse click. If the current box is not dropped down then the click navigates to the correct box. Navigating with the tab works whether the first box is dropped down or not. Can someone tell me what e ...Show All

• Windows Forms passing variables to form

  I made my textboxes on form1 public. I was able to access them through my form2, after I made a statement like form1 form2 = new form1();   Problem is, the text boxes are all empty on form2. Is this because I initiated a new form1 and therefore the textboxes are set back to their default as empty How can I access variables stored in form1 from form2 thanks. To have one form talk to another, pass the Form as an argument   In class Form2, write a method like   Public Method(Form myForm1) {             myForm1.TextB ...Show All
