• Windows Forms DataGridView Scroll

  Hi. When I scroll my DataGridView it is scrolled by steps of 3 (or any other number) of rows depending on what is set in Windows Mouse Properties. Is there a way to make it scroll row by row t.e. one notch = one scrolled row. Thanks! There isn't any built in property to change this. You would have to override the OnMouseWheel method and provide your own implementation (and not call base.OnMouseWheel) -mark DataGridV ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Inaccurate double variables in VBA!!!

  Hi All, I'm working on a big structural project. I wrote about 10000 lines of VBA code using AutoCAD, Excel and Access, but one of the problems that I could never resolve was inaccuracy in single and double variables. For example when I try to read start point of an AutoCAD line object in double variable A and then compare it with another double variable B that is equal to A, I don’t get correct result. For example if VBA watch window shows ...Show All

• SQL Server Handling a double or float value for inserting into DataTime field.

  Hi, I was trying to enter the non-normalised exponential format of double or float value into the DataTime field in my data base. It is allowing to store any kind of data passed to this field.

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Source Control History Tags?

  We recently switched our source control from Source Gear Vault to TFS. One feature that I haven't figured out in TFS is the special special tags feature that allows the source control to add history and other info in the source file. Example from .sql file: /*-------------------------------------------------------------------------- * $History: /vsln/path/filename.sql $ ****************** Version 9 ****************** User: bob Dat ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is the pseudo SQL syntax necessary?

  Current LINQ syntax is like this: var upperLowerWords =         from w in words         select new {Upper = w.ToUpper(), Lower = w.ToLower()}         where w.StartsWith("a"); But I think that this is unnecessary breeding of C# with SQL. I believe that combination of methods with lambda calculus would be better: string[] words = { "aPPLE", "B ...Show All

• .NET Development Should I keep Controls in an consistant state after an exception?

  I'm building custom Controls (VS05 C#) and I'm wondering whether I should implement my controls in such a way that their state stays consistent when an exception has been thrown (assuming that the controls don't implement IDisposable). In normal circumstances Controls appear to live only during the lifetime of the thread (the browser request). They are created in and throwing an exception will normally end the thread. In that case spending extra ...Show All
