• .NET Development Quick SQL question

  I am trying to build manually the UPDATE, INSERT and DELETE strings of my OdbcDataAdapter because the ones generated by the OdbcCommandBuilder are not going to be adequate. I will still be starting from the generated strings and build on them. To understand better what they do, I need to interpret a specific SQL predicate, and I am having trouble with an expression within. The following SQL command is supposed to ensure that a row in a table is deleted only if the data hasn't been changed (in OBDC style, parameters are designated by question marks): DELETE FROM MyTable WHERE ( (ColumnIndex = ) AND ( ( =1 AND TextColumn IS NULL) OR (TextColum ...Show All

• Visual Studio Validation when dropping an element on the canvas

  Hi all, Is it possible to do some validation when dragging&dropping an element from the toolbox on the canvas. When the validation fails, the dropping should not be allowed. E.g. before an element can be dropped some property of the model/canvas has to be set, or an element is only allowed when another type of element is not used. Kind regards, Ronald I created an override of the OnDragOver method to enable dragging objects from another tool window onto the diagram. I discovered that if my override includes a call to IDataObject.GetDataPresent(string s), then the OnDragOver method is called n ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can I Create an Access DataBase Without Access?

  I don't own Access and this is for Learning Purposes.... Can I create an Access DataBase with my own Schema(I guess that's the word) with VBE or any Other Way I downloaded Northwind.... Can I change Northwind schema without Access Thanks   Yes. I know you could do it with DAO. I'm not sure about ADO. Since ADO.NET is a little less faciliated in persisting, the USE of ADOX has been recommended to me for things like table creation and storage and I find that it works very well with VB.NET. I've installed systems based upon access databases on on target systems that did not have access. I ...Show All

We're using VS.NET 2002, with framework 1.0.
