• Visual Studio Missing Icons and Bad Links in MSDN

  Hello. I'm having trouble with my installation of MSDN. Some of the little icons that should appear next to some of the links don't show up, and many of the links don't work. When the links don't work, I get a JScript error "Object does not support this property or method." If I attempt to debug it, it's always a simple, one-line, code block, such as; alink_301.Click() This is an example of what the missing icons look like. The little box, next to Look here, should be an icon; Send feedback to MSDN. Look here for MSDN Online resources . But other icons Do show up, as in this case; Platform SDK: Perf ...Show All

• Smart Device Development OpenNETCF beta 2 and VS2005

  Has anyone gotten the OpenNETCF stuff to work with VS2005 I have been trying for a week now and response on their forums might as well not exist. Getting error from VS2005 that the package dll is not supported by VS but that doesn't make much sense to me. Not sure if there is something in VS that is looking for the old stuff or what is going on. VS lets me add it to the toolbar, and it lets me include the packages into my references section for the project but when I try to compile I just get that its not compatible. Very strange stuff... any ideas anyone have it working Thanks, glenn Tim has sumarised very ...Show All

• Windows Forms Reordering individual rows in a DataGridView

  Hi, Is there a simple way to swap the position of two rows in a DataGridView I am using it to display an ordered list, where I want the up/down arrow keys to shuffle a row up and down the grid, but I can't see any way to reposition a row within the grid without completely repopulating it, which seems excessive. The Index value for a row is read-only. John. This bit of code almost does the trick, the only problem being that the attempt to select the moved row doesn't work, I end up editing the first column in the row. private void dgvConditions_KeyDown( object sender, KeyEv ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Terrific News - SQL Server Reporting Services

  Hi There From Another Thread "Will SQL Server Reporting Services work with SQL Server Express in the Visual Studio 2005 VB Standard Edition   To be absolutely explicit, SQL Server Reporting Services will work with SQL Server Express and Visual Studio Standard Edition. As I stated before, there is no such thing as "VB Standard Edition" as there is only one version of Standard, known as Visual Studio Standard Edition and that includes support for all languages. Hope this clears up any confusion. Thanks, Dan Fernandez Product Manager http://blogs.msdn.com/danielfe/ " This is TERRIFIC for $300 (US) One can Generate a ...Show All

• Smart Device Development progressbar not updated

  Hello! I have a strange problem: I am using a timer for updating a progressbar. Well, this is working when I am using the emulator but not when I copy the app on my smartphone. I tried to force a Redraw() on both the progressbar and form. I also tried Application.DoEvents() in timer_tick. I am clueless. Do you have any ideea why I searched the forum for "progressbar" but it seems nobody faced this before. Thank you, Augustin Calin Well, sometimes my phone is smarter than me . The reason why the progressbar was not updated was a theme I "developed" myself. Well, the colours for background and foregr ...Show All

• .NET Development Possible bug? FileIOPermission failed

  I think the following code should throw an SecurityException if I run the code from a network path. But it does not. try {     FileIOPermission perm = new FileIOPermission(PermissionState.Unrestricted);     perm.Demand(); } catch (SecurityException ex) {     MessageBox.Show("Sorry, you can only run this application from your local disk.", "Security Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);     return ; }   And another problem I found is that I do not need to call Demand() to let SecurityException be thrown.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Unable to add connection to SQLServer

  Hello In the 'Server Explorer' dialog, I am unable to establish a connection with SQLServer Express. When choosing 'Microsoft SQL Server (SqlClient)' as the data source, the list of servers does not include the local machine. Manually typing the local host name or localhost does not resolve the problem, as a test of the connection to the local SQL database results in connection timeout: Error msg: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding. Connecting to my local Oracle database is no problem however.
