• Visual Studio Express Editions Form with many buttons slow when form is refreshed on VBexpress yet fast on VB6, why?

  Hi, I am new to VB exp 2005. I am currently making a simple program that has 1 form and 100 buttons on it. When I run the program, I could notice the PAINTING process of the buttons. I mean, I could see some uncompletely displayed buttons while the others are already visible. This problem could also be seen when I MINIMIZED, then MAXIMIZED the form. I made an identical program using VB6. And ofcourse the response was faster. Is there any other way that I could make my program display the buttons more faster Thanks Its probably hapenin for ur PC configuration.... vbexpress edn need lots of RAM , i mean around ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Product Activation Problem

  I installed Visual C# 2005 Express Edition Beta 2 about two weeks ago.

• Windows Forms Adding combo button on a textbox

  I'd like to draw a combobox button on a textbox control (in its client area, so that the button seems to be on the right side). I need to use it a value search function. How can I do it Thanks. normaly this works: override the onpaint of the textbox and put this code in ControlPaint.DrawComboButton(e.Graphics, buttonRectangle, ButtonState.Normal)   Buttonretangle is the retangle specifying the button location and size not sure about textboxes, I think there are drawn by the os instead of the framework. if that's the case then draw on it's hosting control   Goo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Solution keeps losing SCC binding

  I have a solution with 11 projects, all bound to SCC paths.  The entire solution and all of the projects are in a single directory hierarchy, with the filesystem hierarchy exactly mirroring the SCC hierarchy and the solution/project hierarchy. Whenever I close VS and re-open it, the solution SCC bindings are lost.  I can go into the Change Source Control dialog, select the .sln file and click Bind and the binding is re-established, but next time I close VS it'll be lost again. Is this a known bug, or is there something special going on here that deserves further investigation There were a number of problems related to re-bind ...Show All

• SQL Server Query Paging

  let's suppose that we have a table entitled "tab1" which has more than 1000 rows and about 10 columns so in SQL 2000, if I do this query: SELECT * FROM tab1 the result will be displaying all the rows from the begining. and my teacher told me that there's a new option in SQL 2005 which is you can display the result of the query in a page mode. so can anyone tell me how can I do so for this query: SELECT * FROM tab1 so that I can see the results in pages. thanks I guess you mean the RANK option where you can number the result set to use paging, more information abo ...Show All

• SQL Server Best Practice for retrieving last record

  Hi there, very sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this in. I want to know what is the BEST practice, the correct Microsoft way of doing this: basically, lets say I am inserting a new record into SQL. simple customer record: firstname lastname address city postcode password dateOfRegistration (SQL has this value and the default value is the getdate()) That's all very well. I want to know how I can get the recordID for this and return that back from the caller (returning is easily done) - You cannot really after this insertion, perform a SELECT statement to get the LAST record entered, as there maybe ...Show All

• Visual C++ Corrupt Builds After Cancel

  Our team has a ~50 project solution with a few dlls, lots of libs, and three executables. If I do a build solution, and at any point during the build hit Control-C to cancel it, whatever is being built at the time I hit the button is now corrupt. It looks like it leaves the partially created .obj, .exe, or .dll around and doesn't detect that it only got halfway through. Is this a common symptom Is there some known fix (MSDN and google searches didn't turn up any hits) Our projects and solution are all converted from 2003, if that's any help.

• SQL Server Local Application Launch

  Hi, Does anyone know if there is a way to launch a local application on a users machine from a report We have a bespoke thick client system running which accepts a command line execution i.e. c:\program\programx.exe ref=xyz.

Thanks in advance for your help Dan. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) userPrincipalName element generated in client config

  If I generate a client config file using svcutil the <endpoint> element contains an <identity> element, which in turns contains a <userPrincipalName> element that contains a 'value' attribute set to the user who started the service (service was started as a Console app for testing). However, these elements are not specified in the services config file. e.g. for a basic example: Server definition: < endpoint address = " net.tcp://localhost:8000/Anite/TestService " binding = " netTcpBinding " contract = " Anite.ITestService " /> Clients generated config: < endpoint ...Show All
