• SQL Server Hierarchical Cascades

  Please let me know if this is the wrong forum to post in.   I am trying to set up a new database with Referential Integrity, but I can't get it to work. I was wondering if anyone had some helpful tips :)   In my test case I have 3 tables; WebSite, Author and Article. WebSite is a parent to Author and Article. Author is a parent to Article.   If I have all 3 UPDATE CASCADE it breaks. If I only have 2 (any 2) it works. I get that it's a circle, but each would only be one step (A change to Author should only change Article, and that should be it, nothing would happen to WebSite)   W ...Show All

• Windows Forms Toolstripmanager and Visibility

  First, please forgive me for making a second independent post on the same topic. I have new information and my sense is that if I reply to my own posting the automatic procedures at MS won't pop it up for action. (Correct me if i'm wrong and there is a better way to handle this.) Second, please forgive the bright red print below. It separates the new stuff from my original post. I wrote: It's clear that loading and saving settings with toolstripmanager works great for strip position on the window and for item position with in the strip. It does not seem to track visibility / availability. Is my observation correct If so, then li ...Show All

• Visual Basic Item not member of ComboBox

  I am using VB 2003. Dim myComboBox as ComboBox myComboBox.Items But it says Items is not a member of ComboBox. Am I missing a namespace or some reference okay, i think that i have something for you. first of all, [ComboBox].Items requires parentheses; myComboBox.Items() also, items is a property of a combobox, so you have to give some kind of definition to it: myComboBox.Items.Add("hello world") but i'm not completely sure this will work, because i'm used to vb6 and not .net. i tried it, but it said that "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." here's what i used, because the intellisense didn't ...Show All

• .NET Development Access Database JET 4 using VB.NET

  Hi,     I would like to know if I need to have MDAC_TYP installed on my PC to allow an application to write to an access 2000 database.  The VB.NET application uses adodb and I thought that the .NET framework installation and also the deployment package would take care of the dependancies. However, when I tried to run the application on a PC that did not have MS Office installed it failed when trying to write to the database. I think the easy option is to install MS Office but I would like to know if there is another way to do this. The PC that I want to run the application on is running Windows NT4.0 and although MDAC is ...Show All
