• Visual Basic Error using RejectChanges when validating a DataRow

  I am trying to write some validation code to be executed during the RowChanging event. (I already have some other validation in the related ColumnChanging event handler.) If it finds errors I want to give the user the option to go back & correct the errors or Cancel the changes. The code looks like this (in outline): Private Sub ProblemsDataTable_ProblemsRowChanging( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As ProblemsRowChangeEvent) Handles Me .ProblemsRowChanging Dim r As Integer If e.Row.HasErrors Then r = MessageBox.Show( "There are errors in this record." etc. etc. ) if r = DialogResult.C ...Show All

• SQL Server How to get the URL to access a report?

  hi, all I am just starting to use the SQL Server 2005 report service.

• SQL Server Creating RS 2005 with Visual Studio 2003

  Hi All, My company is condidering upgrading to SQL Server 2005 and/or Visual Studio 2005. We may decide we want to upgrade one without upgrading the other. My concern is the Reporting Services compatibility. My understanding is that if we decide to upgrade to Visual Studio 2005, we would have to upgrade to Reporting Services 2005 because VS 2005 cannot create reports that are compatible with RS 2000. But if we decide we want to upgrade to RS 2005, we can continue to create the reports in VS 2003 because RS 2005 supports RS 2000 rdl files. Is this correct Thanks! Yes, you are wright.

• .NET Development RemotingConfiguration.Configure ensureSecurity parameter

  The old .NET 1.1 Configure method is marked as obsolete, and recommends using a new override with a parameter ensureSecurity. The MSDN documentation on the ensureSecurity parameter is a bit laconic: " true to enable security; otherwise, false ." I want to maintain backwards compatibility, i.e. don't want to require security. But I may want to use the new security features at some time in the future. What should I set this parameter to I'm a bit confused that the decision whether to use the new security features is hardwired into the code via this parameter rather than being defined in the configuration file. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Changesets, Merges, and atomic cherries.

  I've been having a look at the capabilities of changesets and merges, in particular I was interested in the following: * Cherry-pick merges -- you can merge specific file change to another branch without merging the changes that were included in previous versions of those files. Thus, if you've got 2 bug fixes which touch the same file, you can merge the second one without merging the first. So, I conducted the following simple experiment, involving a single file, and merge from a parent branch $/Test/Main to a child $/Test/Main-branch . I added a file A.txt into $/Test/Main, with a single line of text, Original Code. History ...Show All

• Windows Forms Manually wrap a string

  How do I manually wrap a string I want to popup a help text as a ToolTip on a TextBox, but I do not know how long this string is in advance and as the ToolTip does not have a maximum width with autowrap it might look pretty ugly to have an 800 pixel wide ToolTip with one line. So it seems that I have to break the string myself. How do I do this, if I want to break it after a full word every, e.g. 250 pixel One way I guess is to create a Graphic object from an empty Bitmap, append word by word to the string and measure it each time until it fits, but that sounds pretty unefficient to me. Is there a build in function I did overlook ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to get and/or set IP address?

  Hey, I'm using VB Express 2005 and I'm trying to write a small program to configure remote network devices. In order to do the initial configuration, I need to get the IP address of the local hard-wired ethernet adapter, or set it. One way of doing this, I figured I could set the local hard-wired adapter to DHCP and connect it to the device. Windows would assign an automatic IP address, which I could simply obtain. I would much rather be able to assign a specific IP address, do what I need to, and the re-set the adapter to its previous settings. Finding the correct hard-wired adapter could be as simple and promting the user with a list of ...Show All

• Visual Studio Toolbar buttons getting disabled

  Hi, I developed an addin and added a toolbar to it (Visual Studio 2003). The toolbar is instantiated in the CConnect::OnConnection(...) function. Everything works fine and the toolbar is visible, however all buttons of the toolbar are disabled. I have tried various things to enable them but to no avail.
