• Windows Forms Scrolling bars

  Hello all, i want to ask you how i can add to my windows application project the functionality of the bars like in visual studio ("Toolbar", "Properties", etc). I want to display some information in bars and i think that is the best way but i can't find anywhere how to do it. Thanks a lot! In order to have your own Properties style window, try using the PropertyGrid control and which is unfortunately the only control that you are looking for that comes built into the framework. I believe the other control type you are looking for is the Toolbox and if I am correct, take a look a ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Standard Design for a C# Wrapper to Native functions

  Hi all I have a wrapper to a driver and it is being used by multiple applications. Can somebody advise me what would be a standard design for a C# wrapper a .cs file or a shared dll. Thanks in advance Both ways have advantages and disadvantages. If you’re planning to share library, you can ship if with, say, new version of a driver so your applications can be updated without any changes. You might save some space as well. However, you would need to strong name sign that library and GAC it. Also it would expose your driver as its all public. Sharing source file makes it harder to upd ...Show All

• Visual Basic Validating within a User Class

  I need to populate a container with an indeterminate number of label/textbox pairs for input. Since it is indeterminate at design time, I thought I'd create a user class with both a label and at text box in a pair so I could create them at run time and populate the labels appropriately from a data file. I need to validate each text box for numeric value. Then, I need to use that value to build up a subtotal on the form...sort of like this: Account Amount 1-1100 37.00 2-0000 90.00 .... Total 127.00 Can I code a validation event handler into the class at design time I know I can use the same handler for all the instances ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Cannot resolve bug activated by a removed user

  We have a bug that was activated by a person who left the company and was removed from our security group/DL. The bug was reassigned to another dev who fixed the issue and is now trying to resolve the bug. But when he changes the state to resolve and tries to save it, he gets a message saying "the field Activated By contains a value that is not in the list of supported values". It seems that the Activated By field has the name of the old dev that is not in our users list anymore. Since the field is not visible/editable in the form we cannot change its value. How can we resolve this bug Update: It is not possible to save ...Show All

• SQL Server Attach database from network drive

  Hello, when I attach an database from a network drive in SQL Express 2005 the access permissions on the data and log files will be change. This ends in a deadlock when the user doesn't have administrator right on the network server, because the permissions will allow access only for administrators and an unknown Usergroup on the network server. I think it's the SQLServer2005MSSQLUser$xxx$MSSQLSERVER group from the local server. Example: DBCC TRACEON ( 1807 ) GO PRINT 'ATTACH FIRST' CREATE DATABASE TEST ON ( FILENAME = N '\\server\tmp\test.mdf' ), ( FILENAME = N '\\server\tmp\test_log.ldf' ) FOR ATTACH ...Show All

  Does anyone know where I would find information on creating new dynamic display pictures for messenger Thanks, Scott Kirk Only licensed partners can create dynamic dp's, and to get licensed you should pay and sign contracts etc. Conclusion, there isn't much probability that you will be licensed. But, if you have got a big company with a lot of money to spend, you could give it a try... I advice you to contact microsoft for that, and I don't exactly know at what e-mailaddress. ...Show All
