• Windows Forms autocomplete AND dropdownlist combobox

  I want to give the user the functionality of the autocomplete, allowing them to enter one or more letters and receive a list of possible entries, whilst also ensuring that the user can only select an item from the list and not type any old thing. I know that I cannot use the dropdownlist list option along with autocomplete, but how can I make sure that the user does not enter invalid data Basically, at all times during the edit process, I want the data in the combo to be valid, so if a user enters invalid data, maybe the previously selected entry should be selected Whatever works best. I want to have the functionality of both autocomplete a ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Use custom attribute to execute some actions

  Hello All ! I have some questions on attributes. I would like to be able to tag my method so they can behave specially. For example I would have imagined to do something like [TestMethod] [UseDataSource("myConnectionString", "my Dataset file")] public void TestDataSource() {     //do some testing }   I have imagined that so my test code contains only what I am testing and some attributes is specifying which data it has to use in DB. But to make it wokr correctly, I need a way to get some other code being executed when my method is called. So is there a way to have a special method in my attribute to be calle ...Show All

• .NET Development Networked Application Scenario (any ideas would be great!)

  I've posted several questions about network streams but as I haven't had many replies I'm guessing I'm going about it in the completely wrong way! This time, I'll try to explain what I need to achieve and hopefully someone out there will be able to help me with a method. I'm building a networked application for use at my college (over a LAN). The server needs to be multi-client enabled, and hold information about each client individually (e.g. IPAddress and some custom information). The server would receive various messages from the clients, including Log In requests. The sever would be able to 'reply' to individual clients after re ...Show All

  I'm coding against an API and have a method which receives an XmlElement[], extracts a subset of data from the XmlElement[] and must return a new XmlElement[] containing the subset of data. I can obtain the data I am looking for however I am at a loss as to how to create and populate an XmlElement[] to return to the caller of the method. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. You could use a List<T> generic class and then the ToArray() method.

• SQL Server TableAdapters and Caching?

  Hello, I am interested in being able to be notified when someone inserts a new row into a table. I have a list of objects bound to a combo box using table adapters in Visual Studio.NET 2005.  I would like for my application to be able to subscribe to this notification and know if the list the app has needs to be updated when the user tries to pick an object.
