• .NET Development DataTable.CaseSensitivity affect on relational selects

  I am trying to modify how a DataTable.Select behaves with respect to case sensitivity. The documentation implies that: The CaseSensitive property affects string comparisons in sorting, searching, and filtering. Modifying the example to use a relative operater and not the equal operator I get the same results independent of the value of the CaseSensitive property. Is this a bug Is there a way to affect relational operators in a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Programmatic Project Creation via TFS API in Beta 3

  I noted that Beta 2 did not support programmatic project creation via the TFS API.  When reviewing the Beta 3 SDK, I could not determine if these was now possible, although this feature did not appear to be present.  Could someone clarify if programmatic project creation is available now in Beta 3 I'm afraid it is not.  We will not be supporting programmatic project creation in version 1 of TFS.&n ...Show All

• SQL Server Batch invocation of Drillthrough action

  Does anyone happen to have an example of a batch invocation of a drillthrough action Essentially, what I'd like the ability to do is use the results of the drillthrough to feed into another process (i.e., to use as input to an SSIS package or load into a relational table.) However, I've found no examples of what the action settings would need to be in the Application field, for example. Maybe drillthrough isn't the proper action to define it ( ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB vs C#. How capable is VB compared to C#?

  I need some clarification please. I am learning VB.NET right now and have a co-worker who has a very strong technical background and feels very strongly that learning VB is a "waste of time in all respects" compared to C#. I don't understand this point of view. Since VB is a .NET language does it not posses the same capabilities as C# Am I on the wrong track I really enjoy the VB.NET syntax and am picking it up quickly. ...Show All

• Visual C++ C4533 warning, "initialization skipped by goto"

  Is this warning buggy in MSVC 7.1 or is it just a stupid warning In the example given here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/f7687yks.aspx It makes sense because the condition, (1) will always be true and the goto will always skip the initialization. But the following code gives me the same C4533 warning and it makes absolutely no sense why it should. #include <iostream> using namespace std; struct TOILET {   &n ...Show All

• Windows Forms IDE Designer unable to display forms containing user controls

  When I implement user controls and use them on the main form all within the same project, eventually the IDE Designer stops displaying main form. The IDE will give a message about one or more errors while loading the designer. And then it will say it can't find the user control. The compiler will compile and execute the application just fine. Am I missing something that I have to do to eliminate this problem The problem doesn't seem ...Show All
