• Windows Forms ListBox items should be gray when not in focus - why arent they?

  Hi I just wondered... I have a listbox on my windows forms, and different from all other windows controls (e.g. listView and treeView), the items in the listBox remain SystemColor.ActiveCaption as background color when the ListBox leaves focus. ListView, Treeview makes the selection grayed out - making it very easy to see that the control is out of focus. Is there any way to "force" the listBox to behave in the same manner I find it confusing when working with keyboard shortcuts that it "seems like" the listbox is active - but really isn't. I hope it's just me that have mi ...Show All

  I have a listbox "listboxServices" and an ACCESS db table "services", when i set the listboxServices' databinding to the default dataset, the listbox will show all the data in the services table.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Practical questions

  Hello all, For as far as I can see, LINQ offers key features that belong to the data access layer. (Not like the current features from System.Data in .NET 2.0.) LINQ is all about replacing existing data access layer code with LINQ code, I think. So is the true advantage that we don't have to write SQL code anymore If so, would the LINQ code be placed on the database server (stored procedures) or on the application side Would data access layers still exist And in what form Where would they reside On a (for example) SQL Server, or on the application side I could not find any 'best practices' yet on this subject. Hope you understand my issues ...Show All

• SQL Server SUM is summing like values

  The problem with my SUM below is that I don't want it to sum up like amounts.  For example, there may be multiple rmstranamt showing but if in the list there are 2 that are alike, just sum up one of them along with the others.  In other words, I need to somehow do a grouping of the rmstranamt so that I'm not summing up one unique number twice in my SUM. Example output. Lets say my query finds 3 rmstranamt records for a particular account.  Right now it's taking 3265.12 + 3265.12 + 3000.50 which is not right.  I need just 3265.12 + 3000.50 and to ignore the other duplicate 3265.12: 10   3265.12 10   3265.12 10 &n ...Show All

  Hi, Where in the TFSWarehouse I can get information on BVT (build varification test), i.e., how many test failed for a particuler build Thanks in Advance, Syed Raihan.

In Beta 3, only "Cumulative Result Count" exists. Here is the distinction between these two measures:   Result Count - Shows the number of results according to the selection criteria.   Cumulative Result Count - Shows the "latest" result for each test in t ...Show All
