• Visual C# how to know when form lost its focus

  Hi, Is there any way to know when Form lost its focus I have tried Deactivate event but it does not helped me. Thanks in advance One way would be to use the flash functions of the task bar and make it flash like the other apps do. Or use a Tray icon and when ever there is news have a popup rise from the bottom like the MSN Messenger does. ...Show All

• Architecture Safely access file from a Web server

  Hello, I work on a project where clients access to a database and a files storage system (NTFS). On a LAN, all works fine but we would like to allow user to access those data from Internet. My question is: how our Web server can safely access to the file storage Is it acceptable to access directly to the files Must we develop a kind of application server In this case, which kind of technology could be used Lastly, if my web server is running on Linux what are our options Thanks, Sebastien I don't see any reason you couldn't continue to use your files and leverage the NTFS permissi ...Show All

• SQL Server Question about comunication issues between Principal and Mirror

  Hi there. Imagine this scenario in High Availability mode : The principal sends a transaction log to the mirror, then the mirror saves the log on disk and then notify the principal.

• Visual Studio Optimization joint between 2 tables

  Hi, I have a report (Crystal 10.2.36 from VS2005) with 2 data tables in which I push the data. There is a join (=) link between the 2 tables on the primary keys of the tables (same PK on the 2 tables, first table is data of year 2004 and the second of year 2005, and 400 lines in each table already aggregate in the database). That takes 14 seconds (WinXP, P4 3,2GHz, 1Go RAM) to charge the data (SQL queries are still made), whereas with one table only that counts is instantaneous. Is it possible to optimize this processing time (join in Crystal) I tested indexed PK columns but the data not being stored in the report that does not have any e ...Show All

• .NET Development IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries .NET Provider - Will it work with VS 2005?

  I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 (Visual Basic) along with IBM Client Access V5R3. I can't seem to get VB to recognize the native IBM .Net provider. I'm very new to DotNet so that's certainly part of my problem but I'm just wondering if anybody has used the native DB2 provider in VS2005. I know IBM says they haven't tested it in VS2005 but I'm wondering if it works at all. The IBM .Net provider definately works with VS2005. Load the IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries (10.0.0.0) assembly from the Choose Toolbox Items dialog in VS2005 Toolbox. Same syntax as VS2003 to add connection, command and dataadapter ob ...Show All

  Is there any way to retrieve the output of T-SQL "PRINT" commands from .NET -Ryan This works fine, but in my case, not only I need to get the print outputs, but the rows affected by SQL commands too... I can get the number of rows returned by parsing the resultsets from an ExecuteReader, but if the batch also contains UPDATE or DELETE commands, I'd like to get the number of rows affected by these commands too, like SQL Server Management Studio does.
