• .NET Development Multiple selection on dropdownlist???

  Hi! I would like to know if it's possible to select multiple values on a dropdownlist. I've already seen something that looks like a checkboxlist in a dropdownlist, I mean, at first it looks like a dropdownlist, and when you click the button, it appears a checkboxlist, where you can select as many values as you want. How can I do something like this Thank you! Hi, You must write your own control... the DropDownList which is found in the System.Web.UI.Controls will render a <select><option...><option...></select> HTML code and have no chance to add checkb ...Show All

• Visual Basic Newbi for .NET

  I found that MSV6 (VB and C++) still work well on XPSP2. So I'm not sure in the future since .NET was released since few year ago. What info which I should consider to move from MSV6 to .NET Now, I'm developing on XPSP2 and 2K Server and 2K DC. VB6 is likely to work on Microsoft platforms for a long time.  The issues to consider are: VB6 support has ended VB.NET is a much better language than VB6. It is, however, different enough that I believe it's a tough learning curve initially, and certainly a lot of legacy stuff is supported, but should not be used if you can help it. The wizard to move VB6 apps to ...Show All

• Smart Device Development passing objects

  Hi. I understand that the smartphone/.NET CF (1.1/2.0) does not have a way to send objects using TCPClient/listener (in other words, from PC to phone) but can send strings. I know you could use a web service, and pass objects to and from :) I am wondering if there is any way I can pass an object from the PC (not using webservice but a C# winform app) to the smartphone and back Objects are not actually going through the wire. Instead they are transformed into bunch of bytes, which are actually transmitted and restored back on another side. That process is known as serialization/deserialization and performed by ser ...Show All

• Windows Forms just a thought but i think i know how to go from ImageList images -> Icon objects..

  hm..if you look at my post just a few below about using 32bit icons and my solution, i think i have found a way to convert an imagelist image to an Icon.. essentially you'd extract the icon from the imagelist with the functions i provided, then you'll have a handle to the icon Icon newIcon = Icon.FromHandle(hIcon); i think that's right...im on my lapto ...Show All

• SQL Server Newbie: "Compiling" a DTSx package

  I have now created a few simple SSIS packages. In BIDS I right-clicked on a solution and selected "Build". I went to the "bin" directory hoping to find a standalone ".exe\.dll" file but found only a ".dtsx' file. Can BIDS can actually build a standalone exe\dll or is the .dtsx file all that's available (If so, I guess that another program is expected to invoke the .dtsx file.) TIA, barker SSIS does not generate standalone executable for your pkg. DTExec.exe under \Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn is the application which launchs the run o ...Show All

• Visual C# Code organization

  Hey all! I was wondering if there were any recomended plugins or macros for VS2005 that would help me sort and reorganize a C# code file Time after time I'm tired of creating a set of objects using the Class Diagram tool and having each field and property being written one after the other. I'd like to have all my fields grouped up in one region, Properties grouped up in a region, constructors together in a region, events, etc... Any good places to look Thanks! ~Jonathan MacCollum I've heard that CodeRush is a good tool for refactor based needs with Visual Studio, I haven't used it myself, and don't know if they supp ...Show All

• SQL Server Merge Replication - Weird Conflicts for no reason

  Hi. I am using Merge Replication on Sql Server 2005 (which works much better than 2000 by the way) and everything is working great except occassionally I will get some conflict rows for no reason. The same column(s) of the same row was updated at both 'PublishingServerName.DatabaseName' and 'SubscribingServerName.DatabaseName'. The resolver chose the update from 'PublishingServerName.DatabaseName' as the winner. I checked our audit table and in every case there was no one updating the conflicting row(s) on the publisher that day. I have had to submit the losing row (which is the suscbriber) in every case. I am using COLUMN le ...Show All

• SQL Server Different Results With View Versus UDF

  I have two views, for various reasons I decided to wrap a Select * From View with two UDFs. When run on their own, the UDFs return the exact same resultset as their respective view (did a compare and stuff to make sure). However, when I join them together, what was once 130,000 records (when joining the views) skyrockets into millions of records, and the resulting resultset is filled with duplicates. What is going on Firstly I would use a stored procedure to return result sets, not UDF's. Secondly, it looks like you are getting a cartesian join, where every row in one table joins to many or every row in the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System CA1000 and Generic Singleton classes

  Hi everyone: I am developing a library that will provide persistence methods for business objects. The Persistence class is generic because it needs to know about the type of object it persists. (The type parameter to the class is the type of object to be persisted.) However, there is no need for the clients of the library to instantiate an instance of the Persistence class each time an object needs to be loaded or saved. So, I want to make the Persistence class a Singleton. (I can't make it a static class, because the class does keep state, namely info about the type to be persisted) However, when providing the static public rea ...Show All
