• Windows Forms DataGridView doesn't refresh when calling refresh multiple times

  Hi everyone, I have a big problem with the datagrid, in an optionsdialog I change the grid.RowTemplate.RowHeight property. After changing I call the grid.Refresh() method. This works normal, the grid get's invalidated and refreshes it's layout. Now the problem occurs when the user opens the optionsdialog again, when he changes the RowHeight property again. the grid doesn't refresh anymore, you see it flickering but it stays the same.

But it's not an option for me because I lose Column s ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to add a custom property to a My User Control?

  I have created my own user control which appears in My User Controls list in VS 2003 (using managed c++). Now I want to add a custom property to it so the property appears in the Propeties window. For now, only the base class UserControl properties appear to be there. Any ideas Thanks! A control, when selected within the designer, simply lists all the public properties on that form within the properties window. If you need help on the language specifics about how to create a property in managed C++, then the C++ forum would be a better place to ask, as we only deal with programming Visual Studi ...Show All

• SQL Server Meta Data Services SQL 2000 "msdb database could not be opened"

  Hello anyone / everyone, If you are having trouble accessing Meta Data Services on W2k3 and SQL 2000 and get the error that the "msdb database could not be opened" I found that hot fix 912812 on the operating system is the culprit. Remove it and Meta Data goes back to working, although I am being asked to approve the ActiveX control every time the page refreshes. Hope this helps somebody, to took me long enough to track it down. If anyone has a resolution to the ActiveX question I'd love to know the answer. Thank you, Uncle Davy Use "Internet Options" in Internet E ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Users can't configure their Project Alerts

  We are using TFS and we've having some issues configuring project alerts. I am the Project Administrator and I was able to configure Project Alerts for myself using Visual Studio 2005.

However, I have two other users that are Contributors in the project (I'm not sure if this is related to the problem), but they're not able to properly configure their Project Alerts: They use Team Explorer to open the Project Alerts dialog box of our pro ...Show All
