• Windows Forms Secrets of the BindingSource.Filter

  I searched through the MSDN documentation and these forums, but found precious little about this undocumented, yet powerful feature: The new BindingSource.Filter property, from my experimentation, is a full-fledged secondary "where" predicate on top of whatever selection is done in the base query that is tied to a TableAdapter. Since the base query is not accessible (or is it ) for dynamic changes, this Filter is where one can dynamically change the query, achieving a different result set in your DataGridView component on-the-fly. The documentation merely says that Filter should have a value like fieldname='value' . But you could use a ...Show All

• SQL Server DBCC CheckDB

  Hi: As part of database maintenance plan, I am using the option (checkbox) for checking the integrity of the database before backing up database or transaction log.

Does anyone have more details on this Also I am backing up my user and system databases every night with database integrity checkup. This is a live eCommerce site. Usually database integrity check should not take long but if it does, will it block users. Is it good idea to do it every night I was thi ...Show All

• Visual Basic HTMLDocument

  I'm having an issue parsing a string, in the line "If DocStr.Contains("<td>" & CStr(FirstCardNum) & ".</td>") Then" below, it returns zero, the issue is that I put a breakpoint there and looked at the string in QuickWatch and it was in there, i've narrowed down that its not the String.Contains function because it works elsewhere, even with identical data. That leads me to believe that it has something to do with the HTML.Document . Can anybody help Private Function GetCardList() As Boolean         Dim FirstCardNum As Integer = 1         Dim ListDoc As ...Show All

• Smart Device Development LoadLibrary() call fail.

  Hi, I developmented a DShow filter on smartphone and wanted to load it in my application. But it returned NULL when call LoadLibrary(_T("MyFilter.ax")). The error code is 7e. And I tried to use Regsvrce.exe to register MyFilter.ax, the error code returned is also 7e. However I explicitly put "MyFilter.ax" in "\Windows". I attempted to load another module, LoadLibrary(_T("aygshell.dll")) for example, it succeded. It seemed that the problem existed in "MyFilter.ax". How can I do to resolve the problem I am very appreciated of any ideals! I t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System distributed development environment

  Background: We have a distributed development environment and some development is outsourced. We have all the code in team foundation source control. The offshore team does not have access to the server due to firewalls. They ship us the code and we need to merge it into our source control. Question: What is the best way of merging their code into source control We tried the following but did not work: 1) Do a global checkout to my workspace 2) From windows explorer, overwrite all the files(source files as well as project files) 3) Do a checkin. I was hoping that I would be prompted for resolving the changes at s ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions set up help, PLEASE

  OK, two questions: 1. Is there a "getting started" guide that shows how to start a project WITHOUT the dotNET dependency It seems as though the IDE wants to default to .NET I followed this: http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/visualc/usingpsdk/default.aspx where it describes setting up the PlatformSDK. I followed it to a "T", and the part where it says: "From the File menu, click New Project. In the New Project dialog box, expand the Visual C++ node in the Product Types tree and then click Win32. Click on the Win32 Console Application template and then give your project a name and click OK. In the Win32 Application Wizard ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team system and MS Project

  Do you need to have MS Project installed to use the report features of Team System In the last beta it didn't seem like it was this neccesary to have MS Project installed, but now it seems I can't get most reports because I don't have MS Project. Shouldn't it be possible to get close to full use of team system without MS Project No, you shouldn't have to do anything. Just create the Team Project and you should be able to see some docs and reports in the two folders. As for customizing methodologies, take a look at these Webcasts: MSDN Webcast: Implementing and Customizing MSF 4.0 Process Guidance wit ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS error listing

  Is there a list of all the SSIS Error codes and what they mean Ex. -1071607778 is an error code output when a lookup task fails to find a match. I haven't been able to find any information on the different error codes. Is there a description file or enumeration file that exists somewhere I think it's still hex, the L at the end is usually included in literals to denote the size of the integer - i.e. L = long, whatever that may be for the platform, 32bits in this case I'd imagine. -S ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WWF Performance

  I created a simple console app to host the workflow engine and run a simple sequential workflow consisting of a while condition, a sequence, a couple of trivial custom activities, and an incrementor to kill the while loop after 10 iterations. On a fairly powerful developer machine, running a release build, running outside the debugger, performance measurements showed that it took about 1.0 second to load and unload the workflow and another 1.0 second to execute it. This does not include the time to initialize the workflow engine. For my application I would need these times to get down into the millisecond range. Is the c ...Show All
