• .NET Development DataTable.CaseSensitivity affect on relational selects

  I am trying to modify how a DataTable.Select behaves with respect to case sensitivity. The documentation implies that: The CaseSensitive property affects string comparisons in sorting, searching, and filtering. Modifying the example to use a relative operater and not the equal operator I get the same results independent of the value of the CaseSensitive property. Is this a bug Is there a way to affect relational operators in a select statement private static void ToggleCaseSensitive() { DataTable t; DataRow [] foundRows; t = CreateDataSet().Tables[0]; t.CaseSensitive = false ; foundRows = t. ...Show All

• Visual C# Append text in the first line of files

  is there any functions/methods to append text lines (2 lines) in the first line of .txt files ex: i got a txt files contains 3 lines and i want to append 2 lines above the first line I think the easiest way is to read the File using the System.IO.StreamReader and read it into a string and add the initial two lines to the string by concatenation. Then close the StreamReader and open the file using the StreamWriter with append option set to false(which would overwrite the file) and write the string to file. Sample code snippet: string strFileContents = ""; string strDataToAppend = "This is ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Moving TFS servers

• SQL Server UNION with the second set ordered

  Hi, I was trying to use the UNION construct to combine two tables. The second table was to be sorted before effecting the UNION. The first attempt was the following: SELECT emp_id , assigned_branch_id FROM employee WHERE title = 'Teller' UNION SELECT open_emp_id , open_branch_id FROM account ORDER BY open_emp_id The above was generating an error. I then tried SELECT emp_id , assigned_branch_id FROM employee WHERE title = 'Teller' UNION SELECT e . open_emp_id , e . open_branch_id FROM ( SELECT TOP ( 100 ) PERCENT open_emp_id , open_branch_id FROM account ORDER BY open_e ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) inheriting from itemscontrol - not able to bind to itemssource

  I have a situation where I want to wrap a (custom)panel with some stuff (scrollviewer, track and some buttons). Therefore I created a new class that inherits from ItemsControl. In it, I use a style to set my panel as the itemshost.

• Visual Studio Report Designer - how to add ObjectDatasource?

  I am trying to add a local report to my ASP.NET 2.0 app. When I create new datasource in VS report designer it always creates SQL Datasource (it doesn't even ask me about the name of the dataset). I am going to use my business objects as a source of data, so it would help to be able to use them when I design the report. I don't need that DataSet1.xsd in my project. I just want to use my own objects. Is there any way to do that in the report designer Is there a way to access the session from this object to retrieve session stored info   System.Web.Httphandler.Current is nothing w ...Show All

• Visual Basic What persists and why?

  So far I haven't been able to find out why a bindingsource retains results from a previous query. Does anybody know if it is the bindingsource or the dataset or whatever that holds this data. The table where the query results are stored has the new results, but I can't get at the new results using bindingsource or dataset. Does anybody know how to get the new results into a bindingsource or why the previous results persist and what can be done about it I figured this one out myself. As I was beginning to suspect, the problem was that the TableAdapter needed to be "refreshed". I did that with the follow ...Show All

• .NET Development Another Undo operation encountered a context...

  I've been looking around these forums for the past hour, looking at the variety of solutions to this error. But none seem to be applicable in my case. I'm not an experienced visual developer, so a lot of this (including terminology) is very new to me. So I may be misunderstanding one of the solutions previously offered. I'm writing a mobile application that communicates with a local server that then goes on to communicate with a Unix server (our main application is Unix based). I'm using Asynchronous sockets (as far as I understand it). Client Unix Client - inherited from Client with overridden OnDataReceived and Send functions. ...Show All
