• Windows Forms Allow Click Once Deployment only for registered Users

  I want to deploy a application by Click Once Deployment. But only users I give a password should be able to install the software. So I thought about protecting the URL with IIS access rights. But how will then work updating the software. I guess the user will have to type in his password every time the application checks for new updates Has anybody already experiences with such a scenario and can explain his experiences ...Show All

• SQL Server Placing Database under Visual Source Safe Source Control

  I have been trying to evaluate how SQL Server 2005 integrates with VSS. The only thing I can find is the ability to place a database 'solution' under source conrtol and that basically puts create scripts and change scripts under source control. Ultimately that is nearly worthless. What I would really rather do is place the DATABASE under source control so that a user would have to check out a table if they wanted to make a change. I would ...Show All

• Visual Studio Crystal Export to PDF

  Hi All, I have a log file that is being created when running an app which exports crystal rpt's to pdf using c#. The first report works fine but the second crashes. I am up to my ears in code but nothing is really helping me. The difference between the first report and the second is that the second has three parameters that needs to be set and the first only one parameter. So, by running my app with a report with only one parameter the repor ...Show All

• Visual Studio Image Height higher than Page Header height

  I've put an image in the page header. The image path is determined at runtime, so i don't know the image size at design time (i set sizing property=AutoSize). Now, if the image height (AutoSized) is higher than Page Header height, the Page Header doesn't expand itself vertically to show the whole image (i expected it would do it, as "Body" expands itself to show all rows in a table). Any suggestions ...Show All

• SQL Server Ignore Null in a Column that otherwise needs a Unique Value

  In Access, when you specify a unique key for a column, you can also specify IGNORE NULL, in which case there can be more than one record with NULL, but if the field is not NULL, then only one record can exist. How do I do the same thing in SQL Server. I have a table with a column that identifies a Previous Entry. If the column is Null, then there is no previous entry - this may occur often. If the column is not null, then there is a Previous Ent ...Show All

• Visual Basic TableLayoutPanel CellPaint Event

  I have a program with TableLayoutPanel controls in it, and I use the CellPaint event to draw text (using DrawString) into the cell. I am using the rectangle "e.ClipRectangle" for the drawing, but it draws it into the entire control (all of the cells at once) instead of the individual cell. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong The height and width for e.ClipRectangle are rather large for such a tiny cell. The left and top are both zero. I ...Show All
