• Windows Forms Refresh Designer at Design Time?

  Hi,   I’ve created a simple user control which resizes its height automatically according to the image size loaded by a user at design time. After loading the image my control resizes but the control selection area doesn’t resize automatically - only when I click on the control. My control also has a custom control designer which restricts the control user to set the user controls height at design time.     Is there any particular reason why this is happening How can I fix this   Thank you, Eric Maroudas.

• Visual Basic Accessing data in a TableAdapter

  Hi, I am brand new to using VB to connect to SQL Server.  I've set up a small database using Server Solution.  I have created a simple form that is intended to take a user-entered name, assign it a code and enter it into a table in the db.  To assign the code, I wish to sort my table in descending order by the "code" column, retrieve the value in the code field for the first record, increment the value and use this as the new code.   I have successfully connected to my db, created an instance of TableAdapter for the table and used a custom FillByCode() method to fill the associated DataTable.  Then I hit a wall. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Winforms ReportViewer control does not work with ClickOnce

  I have a major problem.  I want to use ClickOnce to deploy a business app that uses reporting services (with the new reportviewer control for winforms).  However, the majority (not all) the machines that I try to install the app on complain about a missing assembly "ADODB 7.0.3300" that must be installed in the GAC.   When I reference the Microsoft.ReportViewer.ClickOnce assembly I get a new dependency in my clickonce manifest file for the ADODB.  However, most XP machines simply do not have this installed.  This means that they have to install it some other way first before they can use clickonce.  This is ...Show All
