  According to this walkthrough: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/ms182546(en-us,vs.80).aspx I should be able take values from a Table Column and use them as values for QueryString Parameters. In my case, I want to use them as Form Post Parameters instead of QueryString but either way, I get the same result: First, When I add the Data Source, the thing says something like 'Invalid Object' when I try to run the test, My data Source is AdventureWorks1.vEmployee and the only way I have been able to get rid of this error is by editing the Data Source in the XML to say "HumanResources.vEmployee" in the <DataSourceTable> tag. Second, ...Show All

• Visual C++ ECMA C++/CLI and VC++ 2005

  Does the ECMA C++/CLI Standards document ECMA-372 delineate the exact C++/CLI language in VC++ 2005 If not, what are the differences. eldiener wrote: Does the ECMA C++/CLI Standards document ECMA-372 delineate the exact C++/CLI language in VC++ 2005 If not, what are the differences. Considering that it was more or less the same team that architect-ed both, I'd assume the compiler to adhere to the ECMA document - any exceptions would probably be due to a buggy implementation or due to lack of time (in which that will be addressed in Orcas). A VC++ compiler team person will be able to give a more ...Show All

• Windows Forms PropertyGrid Invalid Property Value

  Hi All, In my custom form designer, I have a property grid. I am having a problem while selecting multiple (>1) controls to change their common property. For example, if I select 2 labels at the same time, and change the size of them, I will get an error message saying "Invalid Property Value", and the details show "Specified cast is not valid." The property then got changed. But when I select only one control to change its property, it's fine. I can't debug where the error occurs. Really frustrated. Any idea Thanks a lot. Some properties are not "mergable", but the p ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions C# handling multiple events

  I see that in Visual Basic 2005, you can create an event handler that handles multiple events. For example I have five buttons and I want all clicked button events to be handled by the same handler: In VB I would have: Private Sub Button_Click(ByVal sender as Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click, Button2.Click, ..., Button5.Click <code> End Sub As of right now I have a ton of "this.button<number>.click += new System.EventHandler(this.Button_Click)" in my initialization code. I'd like to know if there's a C# equivilent in which I would be able to create a new event handler that handles multiple ...Show All

• Windows Forms Button Image and Text with OVERLAY puts text BEHIND image

  Maybe I am missing something. I came up with a nice button image graphic, and selected IMAGE and TEXT, and to OVERLAY, and the image COVERED the text. The opposite would in general seem more useful to me. Why would you ever want to have text overlayed that you could never see I tried using background, but of course you can not declare a transparent color, and also it eliminates the image when you mouse over the button. Regardless, is there any way to get my text in front of the image on the button What is the button's FlatStyle set to   Is it FlatStyle.System   I have seen some other posts about graphics and transparency ...Show All

I tried to loop through all the columns in the datatable in code and dynamically create the gridview, but it always displays the values from the first row only, for all the items Yes, you would have to build the columns dynamically as you say.
