• Windows Forms How do you format a datagridviewcell after it has been edited

  When I enter new data or edit data into a datagridviewcell and move to the next cell I would like the data in that cell to be formatted. I would like to enter a format by column. For example, if I enter 1458.259 in a cell for column "cost" I would like it to be displayed as 1,458.26. If I entered 4589.3589 in another cell tied to column "boxes" I would like it to display 4,589.4. And finally if I entered 05/06/2006 in a cell for column "date" I would like it to display 5/6/06. I have tried to use the defaultcellstyle.format with "C2", "N1", etc. when I first initialize the datagridview. Th ...Show All

• SQL Server My Declarations are just not working ...

  Hello all, I am frustrated! I have tried to get this script to run 8 ways from Sunday and I am not having any luck. Below are the two iterations I have attempted. In both cases the error: Must declare the scalar variable "@BAK_PATH" appears. The key to this is that I need to run the backup on the DB directly because the Database must be backed up by name for the next step to work. DECLARE @PAR1 VARCHAR ( 256 ), @BAK_PATH VARCHAR ( 256 ); DECLARE DB_PAR CURSOR FOR SELECT NAME FROM SYS.DATABASES WHERE NAME LIKE '%HRN%TEST' ; BEGIN OPEN DB_PAR FETCH DB_PAR INTO @PAR1 ; PRINT @PAR1 EXECUTE ( ' USE [' + @PAR1 + ...Show All

• .NET Development When does the garbage collection get run

  The garbage collector is run on a low priority thread and called when any of the required generations on the heap are full. If I call a method that runs a loop creating objects on generation 0 of the heap, and the total amount of memory required to create all my objects is greater than the size of generation 0, then will the garbage collection thread force garbage collection before the loop has finished If not, then will an outofmemory exception be called based solely on the fact that generation 0 is full or do the new objects get allocated on generation 1 Sunil http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnm ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Grid Resizing

  Hello All, I have a query to do with resizing forms and grids in VFP. I have a grid on a form with 8 columns. In the resize event of the form I have put code to resize the grid at the same time so it matches the Width and Height of the form.

Columns will grow when the grid is made larger and shrink as the grid is made smaller.) Has anyone every handled this situation Cheers, Todd As with the resizing of any object, you need to know w ...Show All

I still got the same CPU type as THUMB.
