• Visual Studio Express Editions Can I Safely Install Visual C# Express if I have ...

  Hi, I was wondering if I can I Safely Install Visual C# Express if I currently already have an important application that uses dotnet 1.1 My priority is to not interfere with the stability of this application that I use daily. Thanks, Steve Yes you can. When you start a .NET application the system tries to run it with the version of the framework it was built for, so if you still have 1.1 installed then it will run without even knowing 2.0 exists. ...Show All

• Windows Forms DGV w/ CalendarControl

  I have a DGV with a calendar control. The calendar control works fine for those rows that have an entry in the field. When clicking on the DGV to enter a new (line) entry, the default value which was in the calendar cell from the code is replaced to a NULL value. This change causes an understandable "InvalidCastException" in trying to convert the (Null) value to a date. The default value is set at the table.column database default as (CONVERT([datetime],CONVERT([varchar],getdate(),(1)),(1))). I've also tried just getdate(). --- [I'm having a second issue with the combo filter which I'll inquire after sorting the first ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Things I miss from Source Safe... any suggestions?

  I have found myself missing Source Safe many times over the last few months as I have worked with TFS. Usually this is due to quirks in the UI (which hopefully are related to the fact we are still Beta3), but there are a few other things that I miss that made my life as a lead developer easier. Maybe someone has some ideas on how I should be doing the following in the new version control system... 1. Search for Status / Wildcard Search Sure in the Source Control Explorer you can view all Pending Check-ins and see everything you have checked out. Very cool and easier than Source Safe. But how do you view ALL pending check-ins for ALL de ...Show All
