• Visual Studio Express Editions Programmatically giving focus to Particular Cell in DataGridView

  How does one give focus to a particular DataGridView cell programmatically so that after some action a user can be presented with a DataGridView where a particular cell already has the focus and is already in Edit Mode allowing the user to directly edit the data in that cell (or add new data if it is any empty cell) without first having to navigate to the cell to give it focus Thanks in anticipation. If you know the cell, like having a reference to it from the variable desiredCell you can simply do the following: dataGridView1.CurrentCell = desiredCell; dataGridView1.BeginEdit(true); ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Which version of Visual C++?

  Hi Folks, I would like to buy Microsoft Visual C++ to do write some simple Windows applications perhaps using DirectX in them.  I am not really interested in .NET or web development, and would just like to write C++ applications using resources such as graphics/icons/sounds that compileto executables. I am a bit confused about what product I need to buy. Looking at past products, I can see that I would want something similar to Visual C++ 6.0 Professional. Now with the .NET at the end of everything I am notsure what I should get! If I am correct, for my requirements I probably can get away with downloading the beta of Visual C++ ...Show All

• Visual C++ Does anyone know how to convert a WCHAR * to a char *? (Part 2)

  Well, sort of. The reason I ask the same question as someone else is because my problem is in a different context. I'm trying to create my program by reusing two other programs' source codes (I'm giving credit where it's due!), but one uses wide character strings and the other is using ASCII character strings. As such, conversion is necessary to use the function calls for both programs. (And I don't think regular type conversion will work here...) ...Show All

• Visual Basic Databinding to a Checkbox

  I have a simple form with 2 checkboxes which are Databound to an object, the properties of which are of type boolean. The problem I have is :- I am using the CheckChanged event. When I check the Box, the value of the UI control is correctly changed, but the value in the object does not reflect the change i.e. the Object seems to lag behind the form. If I subsequently click on another control, and then check the values of the control and the object, they are now in sync. Anyone got any suggestions Cheers, Paul Could you explain how the checkbox is bound to the object In a databound or propertybound sce ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual Web Developer multiple errors on start

  I've installed VWD on three machines. One, with XP Home and never had beta versions, runs OK. Two others, with XP Pro, that did have beta versions and have Web Matrix, exhibit a host of problems. Both machines have had all beta stuff removed. On one, I've loaded and reloaded VWD. Problems: (1) On program start, multiple instances of error: Package "Visual Studio Explorers and Designers Package" failed to load properly . . . and also "Common IDE Pasckage". (2) Developer News: "Content will be downloaded once an Internet connection is established" the machine is on cable modem. (3) No .Net controls, only HTML controls in the toolbox.

• Visual Studio Express Editions VWD requires SQL Server Express 2005 ?

  Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that VWD Express can connect to SQL Server Express, but not to SQL Server 2000 This is rather surprising, as I've always seen that new IDE products *expand* on the database providers available, not provide *less* connectivity. Going the other way, i.e., *requiring* SQL Server Express in order to connect to data, will make VWD's usefulness very low for many developers. Can anybody explain this to me Does this mean, since I have installed Visual Web Developer Express edition beta 2 that I dont need SSE which doesnt seem to want to install on my system.    SO can I use SQL 2000 ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WorkflowRuntime.CreateWorkflow overloads

  I have not been able to find any information about two CreateWorkflow overloads in the WorkflowRuntime class: CreateWorkflow(XmlReader workflowDefinitionReader, XmlReader rulesReader, Dictionary<string, object> namedArgumentValues) and CreateWorkflow(XmlReader workflowDefinitionReader, XmlReader rulesReader, Dictionary<string, object> namedArgumentValues, System.Guid instanceId) I have two questions: 1. Given that there are issues with argument passing and Xaml-only (or "no code") defintions, do these methods have any purpose 2.
