• Windows Forms Putting DataGridView cell in edit mode causing problem .. Please Help

    Hello, I have extended a DataGridView control for custom event handling. By default all rows have the ReadOnly property set. All the columns are text box columns. After a cell is done editing, I need to move the focus to another cell and put that cell into edit mode. The first edit, I trap by handling the Enter Key press - since everything is ReadOnly at this time, the keyboard works. But thereafter, I have to override the  OnCellEndEdit method.  The problem is that I can't control the end edit behaviour after the user inputs data and presses Enter to update the cell changes. I try to  ...Show All

• SQL Server Cannot create new SQL database file.

  Hello, I'm using MS Visual C# 2005 Express, but I can't create a new local database file in the "Add -> New Item" dialog. The Studio doesn't create the database, but shows a file not found message. Any ideas Can you connect to SQL Server Express and create the database manually If yes, then the issue is within Visual C# and you should post this issue on a Visual C# Express forum. If you encounter an error with manually creating the database, let us know what that error is. Thanks Laurentiu ...Show All

• .NET Development ConfigurationManager or WebConfigurationManager

  Hello everyone, I'm currently working on class library which will be used in both webforms and exe-type applications (winforms, cli).  My class library must load pertinent configuration and, on occasion, update it as well.  Now, my problem is this:  how can i determine whether my class library is running within a webapp, in which case my configuration code should use WebConfigurationManager, and when it is running in exe-mode wherein I would use ConfigurationManager.  By the way, is there a reason there is no common base or interface shared by these two classes   Frustrating!

• Visual Studio How to make Tree's?

  I need to make something like this: Element |---Group |--Value |--Value |--Group | |---Value | |---Value |---Value |---Group .... but.. Group "can't be embedded in" Group and Element. Adding hierarchies doesn't help... I could make it using relationships, but then, i couldn't use compartments... Thanks, Yes, you can parent a class on more than one class (where 'parented' means being the target of an embedding relationship). The target role of each parent relationship targeting the same class must have a multiplicity of 0..1. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TestContext.AddResultFile

  Hi, What is the intent of TextContext.AddResultFile() do The help file just lists out the method at this point. I thought it would let me override the result file location, but that wasn't the case. Is this a result file that I can add and then populate with additional log information by calling TestContext.WriteLine Thanks. Lets say my test generates 3 files. I add them to the TestContext and the test fails for some reason. Now I want to see the contents of those 3 files, but there is no list, and no link to these files anywhere within the test-details page, nor anywhere else in the VS-UI. It would ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Web Service test with datasource

  I found the documentation on writing a web service test using a data source. This appears helpful when you use thee data source for generating data to send to the data source. ( I will try that shortly)   Once I have that working I need to verify the data returned from the web service against the data source. Can this be done Thanks, Tomk Yes you can verify the data returned from the data source using the validation rules.  You can use on of the built in rules such as find text or you can write your own custom rule.  The Xml document is exposed in the validation rules, so you can use that to find what y ...Show All

• Smart Device Development WSE3 causes run to redeploy all references EVERYTIME

  I am currently developing a smartdevice application for my PDA. With normal winforms apps you can do the usual rightclick -> properties. then check the "use WSE3" checkbox. For some reason after doing it on my smartdevice app, it crashed at runtime complaining about System.drawing.Bitmap (but that might be related to this problem, but i'll ignore it for the moment) But now, everytime i press run on my project, instead of taking 2seconds to only redeploy the new .EXE Visual studio redepoloys every dotnet.dll to the deploy folder of the application. so now it takes close to 5mins each time i press Run, so it is rather har ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB.net to word 2002 automation

  Is it posible to determine if you have it the end of a page then insert a pagebreak and add the title of the page again on the second page or would i need to use bookmarks to the head and footer of the pages any help would be appreciated i'm guesing there is a boolean endof thing for this as there is with the recordsets. thanks in advance. I'd probably use headers and footers to do what it sounds like you want to do - that way the title is always on the top of the pages. Trying to detect and position text at the top of pages / inserting and removing page breaks etc. sounds like a lot of code to me. Some areas which will pr ...Show All
