• SQL Server Testing ODBC connection manager

  I am testing out the ODBC connection manager, as part of my beta testing from my company. I created a new conn manager on the palate (dsn pointing to local  sql server). But I am not sure how this one can be used. I can not use any of the Data flow sources which can use this ODBC connection manager. Using the said conn manager in a Datareader source shows up the error "Can not acquire a managed connection from the run-time connection m ...Show All

• Windows Forms Drop down menu on a button ?

  I inherited a windows forms 2003 app which showed the paint tools in a pane, using a toolbar. I continued this approach, but I've been asked by the client one time too many for changes that you just can't do in a toolbar, so I've removed it and added a button for each tool. My problem now is that standard buttons don't seem to offer a drop down menu, only a context menu. Am I right in thinking this If so, what's my best option 1 - an owner d ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView events firing oddly

  First: It took a bit, but I've come to enjoy the DataGridView! My current issue is that the events seem to 'keep firing' after expected. I have a form with a TreeView and a DataGridView. The TreeView is being used as a menu and when a node is clicked, I manipulate my DataSet and DataGridView data binding within the TV_AfterSelect event. I'm finding that the DataGridView's _RowsAdded and _RowsRemoved events are firing long after expected. I've ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to view out-of-scope variables with debugger?

  Good morning: Can anyone tell me the trick for viewing out-of-scope variables while debugging I have a time-dependent application that I cannot stop by using a breakpoint (and get predictable results anyway). I could write values to the quick-console, but I don't always know what variable I want to look at in advance. Stopping the application to re-write the code often alleviates the problem that needed debugging. I have read several books ...Show All

• Visual C++ Problem executing code on other systems.

  I'm hoping that I am forgetting to do something obvious.  But, I seem to be unable to write code that works on any system other than my own. I'm currently using Visual Studio 2005 If I compile my project on my 64 bit machine, the code will only execute on this machine.  If I compile it on my 32 bit machine, it will execute on both my 32 or 64 bit machine but no one else's.
