• Visual Studio Sorting problem. Can't sort groups based on a formula field.

  I have a crystal report that has an empty "Detail" section. I have a bunch of formula fields in the "Group Header" section. I change the group by field at run-time and hence the value of formula fields in the group header changes. I want to sort the groups, not by the group name, but by one/many of the formula fields in the group header section. I opened the "group sort expert" and selected one of the formula fields but i don't see the res ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView and nulls

  I have datagrid view which is bound to a SQL Server table. I created it without any coding simply by dragging a data source.    The fields in the underlying table do not allow nulls and have a default value of '' so that if the data is missing the field should contain a zero length string. If I try to create a record using this grid and a field in the grid is left blank an error is generated apparently because ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Visual Studio 6.0 SP5 setup on Vista Beta 2 (5384)?

  Does anyone know how to get around the MDAC check in the Service Pack 5 setup of Visual Studio 6.0 For some reason it doesn't detect MDAC 2.5 or higher which it requires (even though Vista obviously has a later version - 6.0) and the setup will not continue from that point. I've tried every registry key I could think of to trick it into thinking MDAC is installed. Thanks Ted. Totally untrue - the sup ...Show All

• Windows Forms Progress Bar will not update (visual J#)

  The progress bar is located in the MDIParent class and I would like to manipulate it in MDIChild classes. The progress bar is active and is publicly defined, but will not update. The values change at run time, but there is no change graphically. The same is true with progressBarBtatusLabel. This seems to be a trivial problem but I am unfamiliar this environment. Any suggestions are helpful. Thanks If ...Show All

• Visual Studio It takes forever to load a solution specifically because of VSS.

  I am wondering if there is any way to speed up the loading of solutions which contain projects bound to source safe repositories. It takes on average 5 minutes to start up a solution I use which contains 24 projects. When I unbind these projects to Source Safe the load time is 2 seconds. To check out files is a pretty bad story as well, it takes around 30 seconds just to pop up the dialog that asks if I would like to check out the file, then ano ...Show All
