• Windows Forms .Net Compact Framework - ComboBoxes & Trapping Keyboard Entries

• Windows Forms Tabs Voluntarily Rearrange Themselves...

  I've heard of lots people with this problem, but I've never seen an official (or unofficial, for that matter) reason, work-around, or bug confirmation for it. My tabs in my application randomly rearrange themselves randomly in debug mode somewhere between F5'ing, saving, and closing/opening Visual Studio.  I can go into the collection in the tab properties and arrange them back the way they belong, but then 15 minutes, an hour, a day later, they've rearranged themselves again in some different order. I've noticed the first tab and the last tab never move...just the ones in between.  Sometimes it's only one tab that moves three, ...Show All

• SQL Server SQLExpress database file auto-creation error

  Hi, I'm not sure this is the right location to post ... I got some issues with VS 2005 BETA 2. I done full install except for SQL Express and full install of the SQL server disc.

• Visual Studio Team System MSDN Academic Alliance

  Will TFS be available for universities via the academic alliance program I couldn't find any page with any information on that. Let me also state my opinion on that: I think learning how to organise team development, manage a dev process etc is a key component of any CS education. So, I think you guys should do everything so CS faculties can provide a TFS for all their students so that they learn how to use it. Along that line I believe you should include the Team Suite in the academic alliance program instead of the pro version. I think it is so important to NOT have students use tools that are less professional than what they will use on ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro VFP

  In VFP 8.0 I have a table build and need to write a prg that well look in a fold and what ever files it sees it import or append in the existing table.

• Visual C# Project fails to copy latest built dll into start-up project's folder

  I have several projects in a solution. After I build the project, it fails to update the start-up project's copy. If I look in the bin\debug folder for the project, it looks up-to-date. However, the start-up project's copy of the dll is old. If I copy the dll's to the start-up project's bin\debug, it works correctly. When I examine the References in the start-up project, it is looking in the correct place. Any clues on how to make it copy the latest build dll into the start-up project Thanks! You should try readding the references to the DLLs (Right click project -> Add Reference). Another thing to ...Show All

• SQL Server Excel columns to a temp table in SQL

  I would like to transfer all the cells of an excel sheet to a temp table in such a way that there is no data loss and no rows of columns of data are made to Null or omitted. I am keeping the datatypes of columns in the temp table as Varchar(255). Thanks Clayton. This is the oldest Excel driver problem in the book, and is documented in the BOL topic on the Excel Source (which is currently being expanded with still more "known issues" information). If you would like to write to me directly, douglasl@microsoft.com , I will send you a Word document that discusses at greater length all the potential known issue ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Workflow Designer Rules Support

  Hi, I'm in the process of trying to setup a demonstration application which shows an example of workflow and rules management. I need to basically setup a workflow, set some properties, then run the workflow from the designer. Part of this demo include the use of an IfElse activity and a Policy activity which link with the rules engine portions. I've trundled through the examples and the current samples get things about 75% of the way there, and I've probably gotten another 5-10% there by looking at the threads here, but I'm still stuck. Here is what's happening: 1. Create a new workflow 2. Drop an IfElseActivity on the design surface, thro ...Show All

  Very likely I am not doing it right but cant see the obvious. I used the "Communicating with the host application" lab exercise document as the base with some changes, I have host app (implemented as windows service) that, based on config, loads a couple of assemblies implementing certain local services. The app first registers an instance of ExternalDataExchangeService with the WF runtime which it then passes to the assemblies implementing local services. The assemblies then register instances of their respective local services with the external data exchange service. These satelite assemblies also expose remoting i/f w ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Newly added user control can't be edited.
