• .NET Development newly added record not showing up

  I have a dataset, binding source, and table adapter used in a form.  I am binding the controls to the binding source.  I use the SqlCommand method to add a new record via a stored procedure instead of the table adpater's update method.  Once the stored procedure has added the record, I return (output param) the primary key and pass that to a query in my table adapter as a param to rebind the form.  Basically it's like this: this .TableAdapter.FillBy( this .DataSet.tableName, Convert .ToInt32(primaryKeyValue));   If I put a breakpoint in the code before this statement, the primaryKeyVa ...Show All

• Windows Forms Application-wide event when focused control changes?

  Hi, In my application, I have a panel that displays some help text to the user based on which control they currently have focused. The control could be on the main form directly, or could be buried several layers deep inside nested ContainerControls (e.g. panels, tabs, user controls, etc, etc.) I need two things: 1. To ascertain at an application level which control is currently focused. In the absence of a better solution, I start at my main form and recursively iterate through all ContainerControls, etc. until I end up at the ultimate ActiveControl. Question: Is there a better way to do this 2. Is it possible to subs ...Show All

• Visual C++ Weird build output

  I am not sure why I got this. I think I accidentally pressed some sort of key combinations and my build output is like this: 1>------ Build started: Project: test, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------ 1>Compiling... 1>main.cpp How to remove the prefixing '1>' Under Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->Build and Run there is an option to specify the number of parallel builds. If you set it to 1, the output lines are no longer prepended with the build number. The actual number of parallel builds is either this setting or the number of projects in your solution that is to be rebuilt, whichever is smaller. Brian ...Show All

• Visual C++ VC equivalent of dirent

  I'm porting some code from another environment which defined an dirent.h and had an dirent structure which was used with opendir/readdir/closedir functions...  What is the VC equivalent to these functions, as VC doesn't have the dirent.h, dirent struct and/or the opendir/readdir/closedir functions (or at least I'm not able to find them in the help or in the directories). Thanks, George >Anyway, there's no reason for a compiler to have dirent.h if it's not in the C standard.

• SQL Server SQL Server Management Studio remote server agent status

  I have seen posts related to this, but no solution for my situation. On a new Windows Server 2003 system running SQL2005 SP1 (9.0.2153), remote DBAs do not have a service status indicator in the object explorer in ssms. If the DBA logs on to the server locally using the same domain ID the appropriate green arrow/play sign indicator is displayed as expected. The DBAs are members of a domain group that is a member of Remote Desktop Users and a local SQL DBAs group. The SQL DBAs group has been added as a SQL login and assigned the sysadmin role. All sql administration functions appear to work otherwise. Using subinacl to grant the SQL ...Show All
