• .NET Development Date Formatting with a DataList

  Hi there, I'm binding data to a datalist on a webform in C#. My problem is that I have a Date field that gets binded properly, but it shows the long date format and I need it to be short. In my webform HTML code I have <% # DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ReleaseDate") %>, so I was hoping I could possibly format it there somehow Any help will be appreciated, Thanks. Hi!

• Windows Forms hosted DesignSurface - editing Controls (e.g. ComboBox) => Crash

  I am playing with hosting a designer and I am already quite satisfied with my current test of a hosted designer - except that some controls crash it. I am just hosting a DesignSurface, add a ComboBox from my Toolbox, then click on the glyph for the smart tags, then click the check box "usw data bound items" once to activate. After doing that and leaving the smart editing again, so that this popup box is closing, I cannot enter it again - if I do so the application crashes with a NullPointerException:    at System.ComponentModel.Design.DesignerActionPanel.TextLine.OnParentControlFontChanged(Object sender, EventArgs e ...Show All

• SQL Server My SSIS Presentation.

  I was demonstrating some of SSIS's capabilities to our Software Development Manager and VP of IS. (We are deciding which ETL tool to use for our DW project. So goes this project goes the house).They liked what they saw and were crazy over Fuzzy lookup but commented that SSIS seems very much oriented toward the programmer side of the house. It was, maybe, not the best tool for the Business analysts who are working closely with us on this project. Any comments on their comment I wonder if SSIS "data source views" (which I haven't looked at at all) address their concerns Barkingdog SSIS ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Subscribing for events from code

  Hello, I'm after installing Jan CTP. It appears to be no means for generating event handlers from within IDE, or at least I couldn't find them. Normally double click or a button in property bag's header DID that. Anyway - I was trying to type something like: button1.Click += new WhateverEventHandler(...); from within InitializeComponent routine. button1 is null, therefore my code got failed. I found a place (some Connect proc with the switch within, which consequently sets my form's vars to something meaningful) -I'd be curious if it's the only place I can do my stuff from. The question is which place can I safely subscribe for my ...Show All
