• Windows Forms DataAdapter.Delete for table with no Primary Key

  I'm trying to use a DataGridView with an unbound DataSet in order to maintain the sort order myself. All was working well until I realized the wizard will not create a Delete command unless a primary key is set in the table. So, I set a primary key and I'm back where I started. The system auto sorts the table by the primary key. Is there a way to inhibit auto sorting on the primary key Or is there a way to create my own Delete command using the unbound table I don't like playing in the Designer code if I don't have to. Hi! Have you tried with DataTable.DefaultView and then the DataView.Sort property Have y ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Connecting to access mdb file problem.

• SQL Server About Login Account

  Hi everyone, I have a simple question for you which is too important for me. My question is about logins in my own(local) server. I know that my local server(my computer's server) has to default login account which are called sa and BUILTIN/ADMINISTRATOR. While I am using my own server, I do not know which default login account is used by my Server since I use windows authentication while connecting to the Server.

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Management Studio can't be found

  Sorry if someone already covered this, but I can't find anything about it. I just installed (3 hours ago actually) SQL2005 Standard Edition (from the Launch event) on my machine, and i don't seem to have a shortcut to the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio anywhere. I looked for a likely executable, but couldn't find it anywhere.  This wouldn't bother me as much if I could use Enterprise Manager from 2K, but SQL2005 will not allow it to register. How do I get this going   There are people here that want to inspect it's features, etc.  I haven't got anything to show them.   I d ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Display a variable in a TextBox - Simple task if I new how

  In the absence of reference materials which are still somewhere over the Pacific, I'm trying to teach myself how to implement the simplest tasks without much luck. I have created a form and on that form have placed a TextBox. Now I go to the underlying code for this control and want to display a type LONG variable in the TextBox. Two issues here: the TextBox will not display a Long variable; this I have apparently overcome using ToString. But how do I get the resultant variable text data into the TextBox control on the form No, I don't want to use MsgBox! Like that other large Corporation (whose name will not be mentioned), you will ...Show All

• Visual Basic Reading characters from a line

  I was wondering (DESPERATELY) how to read only certain characters from a line of text and how to define where the code will start reading and how far into the line the code will read.  and lastly - is it possible to store these specified characters in a variable   I've been messing around with "Mid()" but its not doing exactly what I need it to.  THANX Mid is going to strip your string, but you can also look into using regular expressions to look for patterns in a string, and return them. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions displaying complete text in a dropdownlist control in

  hi i am populating a dropdownlist from database. the query is working fine. problem is the full text is not appearing in dropdownlist. e.g if it is "expenses-legder full details" in database. in dropdownlist its showing only "expenses-ledger " and omitting rest of the characters. is there any property of dropdownlist i can set to get this work. thanks CS When you display the list you are most likely seeing it only be as wide as the instance of the DropDownList itself, this indicates that your instance is not wide enough to display such a long string and given that it doesn’t have an AutoSize property the way many ot ...Show All

• Windows Forms Hitting breakpoint in thread causes thread to exit

  If I create a standard C# Forms app, add a button, and inside the buttons onClick handler I put the following code: ... { // workerThread is a member of the form workerThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart( DoWork ) ); workerThread.Start(); } ... void DoWork() { while(true) { Debug.WriteLine("Hello"); // <-- put breakpoint here. It gets hit but VS hangs then thread exits. Form keeps running fine. Thread.Sleep(50); } } So long as I do not put a breakpoint in the DoWork it runs fine. If I put a breakpoint once it gets hit VS hangs for a couple of seconds then when it resumes it reports the thread has exited and the DoWo ...Show All
