• Windows Forms DataGridView issue

  I have been using the DataGridView in Windows forms 2.0 (beta 2) and have observed inconsistent behaviour. In a recent project I am binding a DataGridView to a DatSet (Using the MS Oracle Data provider). The DataSet is being created manually in code. The DataGridView is populated correctly with the data, but I cannot set the column properties. For example, I cannot change the column headers or make other columns invisible (the respective properties that I set are being ignored). If I generate the same functionality using the design time tools, i.e. drag a DataTable onto an empty form from the Data Sources window, So that a DataGrid ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server CE 2.0 to SQL Server 2005 Express

  Hi All, I was wondering if it is physically possible to have an SQL Server CE 2.0 [or 3.0] connect to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition via RDA. And if it is, is this an officially supported scenario by Microsoft I haven't been able to find any official info on this issue. Is this documented somewhere on some MS pages Regarding synchronization I could only find out that Merge Replication works with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with it being only a subscriber but I found nothing about Remote Data Access synchronization with a SQL Server CE 2.0 or 3.0 Thanks, Marius   RDA and Merge Replicati ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Intercepting Word's message pump

  Hi; I am working on intercepting Word's message pump to determine when the user clicks on a menu so I can enable/disable items in the drop down menu. (I'll post the code once I get it working.) I am intercepting the pump using NativeWindow. And I can get the OpusApp windo handle. But here is where I am hitting a problem. The OpusApp window gets no specific messages as the menu is first clicked. It gets a WM_PARENTNOTIFY (WM_LBUTTONDOWN) when it is clicked with the mouse - but that message is fired a lot. And it gets a WM_ENTERIDLE if it's poped up with ALT-T (Tools menu) but that fires after the menu is displayed. I then looked at the menu c ...Show All
