• SQL Server Control Flow design question

  hi all of you, I haven’t idea if the following description is a issue or not, anyway: I begin from Control Flow layer. I’ve created a sequence container and inside I’ve got two groups, one own a sql task and another one own a Data Flow task. Both are linked for a completion conector. Up to here everything is fine. But when I collapse my sequence container the arrow remains there for these tasks and you can see the sequence container “closed” and the arrow lonely. Not very esthetic, not practical. Any clarification or though will be as usual welcomed I've seen similar problems in the past. I think th ...Show All

• Visual Studio object DataSources at design time

  object datasources can be attached to a SSRS report at runtime but was wondering if there was design time IDE support we would like to expose our Business objects not the database at design time I must be missing something but I can easyily use an xml file as input to  reporting Services and it will happily cosume it at design time but I can not see an easy way to do the same at DESIGN time in VS Reporting . There must be an easy way to create a DataSet from an xml file and the xml tree appear in the data source window.

• Visual Basic accessing a property of a collection class from one of its members

  I have a collection class (Book) which contains a list of "Page" objects. I implemented the Book class as inherited from CollectionBase so it has a built in List to keep track of my Page objects.

• Windows Forms Maintaining the selected row after sorting a DataGridView

  Hi, Simple question, hopefully there's a simple answer: How can I maintain the same selected row even after a sort on a DataGridView In other words, after new items have been added to the binding source and a sort has been forcefully been carried out (in the custom BindingList), how can I ensure that the selected row is the same row as the one selected before the sort Bear in mind, I'm doing the sorting in a custom BindingList so I can't just handle the Sorted or SortCompare events and implement my own logic there. Thanks, Jiten You will have to record some info that can uni ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView - dotted selection rectangle

  Hi, when I click on a cell in a DataGridView, a dotted selection rectangle is drawn. How can I prevent that Also, when reordering columns, a selection rectangle for the header cell is drawn How can I prevent that as well as I do my own drawing for column reordering. Thanks, Tom You can handle the CellPainting event and mask out the DataGridViewPaintParts.Focus and then call the base Paint method with the new paint parts.   In this version there isn't any built in support for using the built in column reorder but customize the way it looks. You'll need to handle the whole column reorder code and perform ...Show All
