• Windows Forms DGV RowEnter event: How to determine if it's fired during initial load

  As described in documentation, the "RowEnter event occurs when the DataGridView is initially loaded, as well as when the user selects a row other than the current row". Since I just want to react to user changes, I need to determine if the event was fired because of user interaction or initial loading. Does anybody know how to reach this Thanks a lot! You may check e.RowIndex in RowEnter event handler. If it returned 0 then it was initial loading that fired the event. ...Show All

• Visual C++ XP password char - Why "MS Sans Serif" does not work on all machines?

  The Problem: On some machines, my password field displays the password character as the "dot" - which is XP standard, and on other machines it dispays vertical bars. Details: In our win32 application we have added the manifest and are using the commctl32.dll version 6.  As a result the passwords _ARE_ seen as "bullets", but as mentioned above, on some machines - with identical setup - the editbox prints vertical bars instead of the dots. I have found that this is a font (MS Sans Serif) problem. Using a font like Tahoma, or "Microsoft Sans Serif" works on _ALL_ machines. NOTE: The problem occurs when using "MS Sans Serif" ( th ...Show All

• Architecture how to install several programs in farm

  I am beginning in a project which is a total disaster. The company has done a lot of things that I don't like so much, but I am an analyst-programmer, so I have not voice for changing anything. One issue is that all the modules of the different programs are in all the machines of the farm (>100 servers). So the load is balanced between all of them. I think that this works but isn't a good policy: 1) Perhaps if a program fails It could make all the servers to fall down because it is in all of them. 2) The loads aren't understood, because it is difficult to view which projects are the heavy. 3) Having >100 IISs makes AS ...Show All
