• Windows Forms Invoke or BeginInvoke cannot be called on a control until the window handle has been created.

  This is throwing me for a loop. I have a modeless form open with a richtextobx. I am using FileSystemWatch to monitor changes on a text log file. When changes are found I check to see how much the file has grown, and then read and append the new portion to the RTB. The log watcher form comes up, does its initial paint (which is NOT driven by FSW) all is OK. Some moments later when the log file first changes, and FSW gives the event, I marshal it back to the GUI thread for updating the RTB, but get this odd error. I have done this pretty much already in previous VS.NET without a hitch. As far as I know my window handle has been created at the ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Business Scorecard Manager 2005 database problem

  Hi, I’m having a problem with my Business Scorecard Manager 2005. It’s installed, but it doesn’t make a connection with the database (SQL 2005 Enterprise). Even with the templates that it already has, the connections that he tries to make are to tables that do not exist. If i try to create a connection string to an existing database, it also gives me an error. How can i solve this Thanks As I understand it, the templates are for SQL 2000, not SQL 2005. I am running into the same problem with SQL2005. No problems with SQL2000, though. Try this link out - I plan on doing the same: http:// ...Show All

• Windows Forms Form close event stupidity!

  Hi, I'm a PHP developer turned C# and its all a bit confusing.  (i've done a bit of VB6 so maybe it ain't so confusing). How do i add code to the form close event For example, frmMain contains a button to open frmLogin which disables frmMain so the user MUST login.  When frmLogin closes how do i activate the close event to re-instate fr ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista DrawThemeBackground and Glass

  I have a custom window class that supports tool windows that have a slightly smaller caption than the standard tool window class (similar to Photoshop). When theming is available, it uses the DrawThemeBackground API to paint the caption area and min/max/close buttons. My app is getting glass O.K. in all other windows, yet DrawThemeBackground is displaying an opaque caption area and plain ol' buttons. I'm guessing I need to do something more. I watched Jeff's presentation ("Great looking apps...") several times. I don't know if DWM is the answer to getting glass in my custom captions, but it did prompt me to seek out more informa ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista VS2005 and directshow

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Generating wsdl:documentation from WCF

  How do I generate wsdl:documentation in WCF In the .asmx world, I used [WebMethod(Description="Foo")] attribute. I would have expected something similar on the OperationContractAttribute. Greetings -- You can export wsdl:documentation by extending the WCF runtime and WSDL import APIs. Below is a pretty long example that introduces a WsdlDocumentation attribute that can be used to annotate either an interface or an operation. It takes a single string parameter and then projects that out to the wsdl:documentation element. It has a few things going on. First, it's an attribute. Secon ...Show All

• Visual Studio Localization tool

  Hi, I am looking for a tool which helps to do a localization of an application. My idea is that it is an interactive tool which is looking for strings in source code and makes them localized. When such tool is started it offers each string found in source and asks if the string is translatable. If yes, some identifier is supplied by user to name this string in resources and new record is created in resources. The string in source code is replaced by method returning the string from resources. Such tool would decrease time needed to localize bigger application with all strings hardcoded in compare of doing all this work manually without any ...Show All

Total What I would like to have is Jan Feb March April May ...  Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Total Is there anyway to have subtotals displayed at the end of the row For dynamic groups (e.g. quarter), the subtotals are always part of that group. They currently cannot be moved out of that group instance. Another way of doing this, is to use a table in the report with explicit column ...Show All
