• Windows Forms Comples Databinding - ComboBox

  I am having trouble getting databinding to work with a ComboBox.  The problem is the translation doesn't take affect. The ValueMember (Foreign Key ID) shows up instead of the translated description (DisplayMember) when I bind to 'Text'. When I bind to 'SelectedValue', the proper entries are in the drop down list but nothing is in the text portion of the&nbs ...Show All

• .NET Development Right sequence to get datatable updates written back to the database?

  I have a DataGridView that I've manually bound to a DataTable (which is populated from a DataSet via a SQLDataAdapter).  The user can go through and toggle a boolean column value and then save the results.  I can see (via Rowstate) that the rows in the DataTable have been modified, but I can't seem to get them to be written back to the database.  I've tried both acceptchanges at the DataTable level and update at the SQLDataAdapter level.  I've looked through all the examples I can find and they just seem to be missing my situation.  Is there an example that just wires up a database table to a DataTable, modifies ...Show All

• Visual C++ Mixing cout and printf

  When I mix cout and printf as shown below, the two lines print in reverse order.  Why   I'm using a student version of Visual C++ 6.0. #include<stdio.h> #include<iostream.h> int main () { cout << "This should be the first line.\n\n";  printf ("This should be the second line.\n\n");  return 0; } They come out in a "random" order because both of the I/O systems have to write to the same underlying console object and they both use internal buffers in order to increase performance (you don't actually write to the console: you write to a buffer which gets flushed to the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Formless Application?

  Is there anyway to create an application that (when created) doesn't have a form For example, I would like to create an application that has an icon in the notification bar and have it so that when I double click it a settings form is created. I would prefer not to have the form exist all along and just have it invisible because to my understanding that uses more memory then creating it on demand and the goal of this application is to make it as unobtrusive as possible. Thanks in Advance, Nick Dancer. I'm not sure what this application will be doing but what you're describing sounds like a Wind ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office A very technical (I think) VSTO startup question

  What is different on a system before VSTO customized document is loaded and after Let me explain. We've got a Word customization that takes 58 seconds to load the first time after a reboot, but only 18 seconds thereafter. Our customization is installed in the GAC, is NGEN'd, and rather large. We have a shimmed managed Word addin that starts .NET CLR with the STARTUP_LOADER_OPTIMIZATION_MULTI_DOMAIN flag so that multiple documents don't require all of our assemblies for each document. We've also found through experimentation that loading a differently customized document (i.e. a new Word VSTO project) before loading our customized doc ...Show All
