• Windows Forms Looking for a non-MDI strategy

  Are there any strategies for developing a .Net application where some of the user interfaces are broken into smaller peices and can be re-joined at runtime The purpose of this is so multiple developers can each work on a peice or section of the user interface without having to wait for someone else to finish. One idea we have is to use a tab control with multiple pages, but not sure about how to dynamically insert those pages into the tab con ...Show All

• SQL Server Imaging System - SQL Server 2000 / 2005 or Oracle10g

  I have written a little "imaging system" basically a web page that allows users to upload documents and it stores them in SQL Server 2000 DB. This DB has a Full Text Index setup against the image column which provides the users with full text search capabilities. Another web page allows users to search, version, and display the documents in a browser. It actually works pretty well, maybe too well. I am now asked to expand t ...Show All

• SQL Server Disk usage Report

  There needs to be two levels of disk usage reports, one that just reads the meta data (similar to 2000 functionality), and displays the pretty graphs, and then the one that is currently available that does the index analysis and so on. I have a 1.2 TB database on 2005 and it takes forever to pull up that report (which my client has decided they love)... Also, I do not know how hard it would be to keep a running analysis of database/index frag ...Show All

  Hello, I want to build a bigger application with WPF and it should have a structure like MVC.

• .NET Development Sockets and Serialization

  Hi, I'm building a windows forms app that needs to connect to a server farm via the internet. Performance is of the essence. I'm thinking to use .NET remoting but I prefer sockets to avoid the complexity of remoting; the data I need to pass are small in size anyway. For larger data I'll use Web services. I know that sockets connection can pass array of bytes and not objects. Can I pass a serialized object from socket to socket There' ...Show All

• Windows Forms RichTextBox AutoWordSelection bug

  There seems to be a bug with the AutoWordSelection property in the RichTextBox control in .Net 2005; it doesn't seem to take effect at all. Even if the property is set to False, the whole word still gets selected when the user drags across a line.
