• .NET Development Connecting to a database through a webservice

    Ilya Tumanov wrote: Yes, but it makes no sense. To accomplish that you would have to purchase SQL 2000/2005 and pay CALs per device (or per CPU license). If that’s acceptable, simply get rid of Access and use much more powerful SQL you've paid for. Alternative solution is to use Web Service to talk to Access database. Create couple WEB methods to talk to access and call them from device. Something like this should do: DataSet GetAccessData(String command, …) { // Connect to Access DB here, execute command and populate data set with returned data. return dataSet; } Bool ...Show All

• .NET Development WebClient Object very slow on first request, second request fast

  Hi All We are using the WebClient class to pull the text from a simple web page. The first request after starting the app takes 5 to 10 seconds to return the data, the second request takes .1 seconds. We can change the URL and the request is still fast after the first request processes. We have tried WebRequest/ WebResponse with the same results. We have also tried using a IP address, and a WINS name. As long as we do not close the App, all requests after the first request are fast, but if close the app, wait over 45 seconds, then try it again, we are back to the slow first request. It seems like .NET is building some kind of monster o ...Show All

• Windows Forms Datagridview Performance "Work around"

  I thought I'd share this with others that may have found a performance issue with displaying data in Datagridviews that have a lot of columns. (I have about 100). I was finding that initially displaying the form it would take 3 or so seconds to display 10 rows of data. What I have done now is to initially make all columns that are not initially displayed to invisible and then as soon as the user clicks the grid or the scroll bar to make the other 90 or so columns visible. This seems to be displayed instantly as opposed to the 3 seconds and doesn't seem to reduce the users "experience" too much etc. I did try to run a seperate th ...Show All

  GetOpenFileName uses a File Open/Save As dialog box that is subtly different from the one used by Visual Studio, which has "FTP Locations".  Is it possible to use the bosa_sdm_Mso96 dialog box in applications built with Visual Studio Thanks, Keith MacDonald Would it be remotely possible to get access to the Office version of the file dialog By the way, I notice that it is not used in VS 2005!

• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I view full code created by form designer

  I have created a simple form (only has a button) and proved that the project compiles & runs. How do I see the full code that has been created by the designer. All that I can see by default is the event code for the button. I would like to be able to see, and edit, all the code relating to my form. Cheers Paul Hi Paul, You can view the code which simply consists of parameters describing the color such as forecolor, backcolor etc in the FormName.designer.vb files BUT BUT BUT it is recommended that a user NEVER edit those files.

• Visual Basic VB vs C#. How capable is VB compared to C#?

  I need some clarification please. I am learning VB.NET right now and have a co-worker who has a very strong technical background and feels very strongly that learning VB is a "waste of time in all respects" compared to C#. I don't understand this point of view. Since VB is a .NET language does it not posses the same capabilities as C# Am I on the wrong track I really enjoy the VB.NET syntax and am picking it up quickly. Here's my background ( being totally honest ). I am self taught, I learned C++ back in the late 90's. From there, I moved to C# because ASP.NET is the best platform availabl ...Show All
