• Windows Forms Button Text and Image depression

  Does buttons with image embedded on them synchronize both text and image depression while clicking them in .Net2.0 I could find that when a new project in VS2005 is created and the form contains the button control, the look and feel at runtime satisfies the requirement. However, when I use a project originally developed in VS2003/.Net1.1 & now migrated , placing a button from .Net2.0, the run time does have the same problem. Dear Tabas Are you refering to the origional question or my reply on what I thought the question was. I assumed the question to be how to make CBitmap buttons look as though t ...Show All

• Visual Basic date format

  i am having trouble comparing dates, 1 is pulled from Outlook [Duedate] which is in the format mm/dd/yyyy and the other is todays date which is in the format mm/dd/yyyy when I display it in a message box, however I get the message type mismatch or the value in the condition is not valid Set myItems = myTasks.Restrict("[DueDate] > todaysDate") You should post the full error message, and the code in context that is giving you the error. In this case, todaysDate is a variable, so you need to put the value in the filter string, not the actual variable name, like this: myItems = myTasks.Rest ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Class Diagrammer - Disappointed

  I will start by saying that maybe I should wait a bit before making my first post on beta 2, until I have explored some features more fully, but I must say, that at first blush, the class diagrammer seems a bit amateurish.   I eagerly awaited the integrated class modeling in Vs.Net 2005. While I do like the fact that the code is updated dynamically as you modify you model I find some features, that I am used to in 3rd pary UML tools seem to be sorely lacking, unless I just missed them. Also is there any other UML capabilties other then just class diagrams   Surely there must be. If not, I don't see how this can be targete ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Deriving, CodeConditions and HandleExternalEvent Activities.

  Hi all, Thanks to great help previously, I'm up and cooking with my derived StateMachineWorkflow activity. Hence - another problem. In the 'dervivedWF' I want to call a common 'RunCodeCondition' method from a set of IfThenElseBranch/CodeConditions - however, the method does not display in the drop down Funny enough - from a HandleExternalEventActivity, part of the bindings for input parameters..... inData *IS* selectable for a parameter. I wouldnt have thought I'd have to create a dependant property for this (Mind you, it doesnt compile at the moment - non descriptive error - just fail, so it all could be wrong) Anyone done this or sim ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Data sources and destinations

  Can someone point me to a comparison between the OLE DB data source and the Data Reader Data Source   We are starting to investigate SSIS and have stumbled through some pain points by choosing one or the other. Additionally, I found that one can not use the SQL Server Destination unless the package is actually running on the Server hosting the SQL Instance.  This seems like we are moving backwards in time.  We have been able to run DTS packages on a client machine that doesn't host either source or target data sources. The SQL Server Destination seems like the most intuitive destination to use if my target is a SQL Se ...Show All

• SQL Server What's the easiest way to copy tables from one 2005 DB to another 2005 DB?

  I've tried creating a simple SSIS package but I get the error: [Transfer SQL Server Objects Task] Error: Execution failed with the following error: "Cannot apply value null to property Login: Value cannot be null..". THis is a known bug and while we wait for SP1 to fix this error, is there another way to simply copy tables (with indexes and without having the identity column renumbered) Any help is appreciated!

• .NET Development Change to SQL table not reflected in TableAdapter

  I have created a form with a DataGridView control. This automatically creates a TableAdapter, a BindingSource, and DataSet. Everything works great. However if I change the table structure, I can't figure out an easy way to get the new structure reflected in the TableAdapter or DataSet. Al I can do is create a new datasource, and then delete the old one. This changes all the names, and requires changes in code. Does anyone have an easy answer (besides don't change the table structure) Hi, The .NET 2.0 Wizard is to help you speed the process that create a Data Access application.
