• Visual Basic Helpcursor on a ToolStripMenuItem

  Hi all, I have a ToolStripMenu in my application. I would like to change the cusor from default to help cursor when i click on a item in the ToolStripMenu. I was successfully able to change the cusor, but when moved the cursor on certain items, the cursor again changes to default. When moved away from such items, cursor changes to help cursor. I later found that the help cursor remains unchanged for items which has help for those items are enabled. So when i move the help cursor to a toolstripmenu item, cursor changes to default cursor. I would like to know how to avoid this change in cursor when moved to toolstripmenu item as there is ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) CommunicationObjectAbortedException

  I'm trying to get an object from my server, that contains lots of other objects with List<>'s, strings, ints and colors. The server is throwing a CommunicationObjectAbortedException. Then I tried to change the iterface and added [XmlSerializerFormat] on the servicecontract. That seemed to work, but now all my Color objects are changed to 0. The server is returning an object with correct information, but when it reaches the client, all the color-objects are 0. All other objects (DateTimes, List<>'s..) are coming thru OK. Any ideas Can you get a trace (both server and client) for me ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to force Repository Refresh?

  Hi, is there any way to refresh the repository on demmand or the only way to do something like that is to set a small refresh time Thanks a lot Thank you for the details. For these cases, you can manually run the adapters and process the cube by invoking the Run webservice by following these steps: - Log onto the application tier. Browse to http://localhost:8080/Warehouse/v1.0/warehousecontroller.asmx Click on GetWarehouseStatus, and then click the Invoke button. Wait for it to be idle. It should return ProcessingAdapters (pulling data), ProcessingOlap (processing the cube), or Idle. - Browse to http://localhost:8080/Wareh ...Show All

• .NET Development Can I apply an attribute at runtime?

  Hi all, As you might have noticed some attributes are supported only on a limited number of flatforms and/or os versions, so I am trying to apply those attributes with caution.  I can achieve this by using conditional compiling with some symbol defined ...  However, in such an approach, I have to re-compile my file on every platform and/or os version, with different symbol definitions ...   I just wonder whether there is a way I can apply attributes at runtime rather than at design time.  I know CodeDom namespace can achieve this by making your whole file dynamically generated and complied.  I just wonder, wheth ...Show All

• SQL Server DTExec is the only redist for executing dtsx file?

  Question: trying to execute SSIS package "Package.dtsx" from another machine. What are the requirements to do this without installing full SSIS I presume that we need .Net framework 2.0, but what are the minimum component or files I need to run a package thanks Horseshoe My understaning is that SSIS is not redistributable as DTS was. Either way there are more files than just dtexec. All the tasks and components are spread accross several assemblies for example. If it is redistributable, then it will be covered in redist.txt or the equivalent if that has changed from SQL 2000. I believe it is now licencsed a ...Show All

• .NET Development Questions on EncoderParameters / PNG TIFF Image types

  This is a repost, (i had originally posted to the incorrect group, sorry...), and also, I am still unclear on where to post this one, as it seems to "fall between the cracks" somewhat...I can't find a forum that really seems appropriate for GDI+ questions (if someone has a tip on that, idappreciateit!) The question: Does anyone happen to know, offhand, if there is a way to specify the quality encoder parameter type for .PNG files that actually causes some effect on the degree of compression I have seen 3rd party imaging software that allows settings for this, usually with a compression level from 1-10, which really w ...Show All

• Windows Forms Making child controls of UserControl editable

  I have a UserControl subclass, CompanyInfo, with various controls (Labels and Textboxes) on it. When I'm designing this class, I can edit the controls, move them around etc., which is fine. However, when I build CompanyInfo into a DLL, then add it to the Toolbox and drop it onto a form in the Designer, I can no longer edit and move the various controls that CompanyInfo encapsulates. I have tried setting these controls to public access, but that hasn't helped. I'm using C# in VS .NET 2003.

• Visual C# Reading large .csv file loading is very slow.

  First let me state that I am very new to C#. I learned C++ in college but that was in 99 and have been coding mainly mainframe since then. So I am kind of new to the .Net platform as well. The problem that I am having is when I am loading in a .csv file it is taking a long time before the user can do anything because the program is busy loading my data into my array. Is there a better way for me to do a read then using StreamReader. Here is a snipet of code where I am doing the load.
