• Visual Basic Checking for optional parameters in a function

  I just seem to be generating questions today. I have a function (UpdateNode) which can be used to write back data to a database.  The function accepts a number of optional parameters depending on what the user wishes to change.  These Parameters are: StructureID - Mandatory (key field) Description (String) Name (String) ParentID (Int) isTeam (Boolean) Where no parameter is specified, then I don't wish to touch what was already in that column on the database.  I have managed to figure out how to check if all the parameters have been given except for the boolean values.  There are two valid options for the isTeam- True or f ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView FormatProvider error ?

  The DataGridView format provider doesn’t work for me. Here is a quick example: DataGridViewColumn formatColumn = grid.Columns[0]; formatColumn.DefaultCellStyle.FormatProvider = new MyFormatProvider(); formatColumn,DefaultCellStyle.Format = “format1”;   The MyFormatProvider class (which implements IFormatProvider and ICustomFormatProvider) format method never called on the grid.   When I just set the Format property with a known string (i.e for dateTime object) it works fine, but creating custom provider is not working.

• SQL Server Help SVP: How to connect to external server and backup db with SSMSExpress

  Bonjour You'll have to be gentil with me, because until today I had never worked with MS SQL (I was developing with Access). Scenario & question: I have installed a phpBB forum running on MS SQL on my clients server. Since Saturday this forum just won't load anymore. I have tested the connection to the SQL database within Macromedia Dreamweaver and it's fine. I can view the table and the data contained in them. I would like to re-install phpBB but I need to back up the db first. I have installed SQL SERVER MANAGEMENT STUDIO EXPRESS, and all the other things like .NET 2.0 etc. It seems to work, as I can look at local SQL database samples, ...Show All

• SQL Server Is it possible to modify column data type of view

  The SQL Server Management Studio shows the data type of each column of views. I am wondering how SQL server determines the types since my SQL code of views does not specifiy data types for any columns. I am much more interested in knowing whether the data types can be modified. Could anyone offer some hint Thanks, hz SQL Server uses the underlying schema information to do so unless you don’t specify a different data type than the source data type (liek within CONVERT). You can change the resulting data type in the view e.g. via CONNVERT(VARCHAR(10),GETDATE(),112), which was a datetime before and a varchar afterwards. HTH, Jens ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions permission denied runtime error 70

  I'm writing a program that copies a file over another. Either of the files could be in use at any time by others (momentarily). I want to ensure that I won't get permission denied if one of the files is in use. My thought was a loop that waits for the file(s) to close(if needed), then copies it. How do I check if the file is in use Thanks in advance for your help!   http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8tbkaxz5.aspx     ...Show All
