• Windows Forms Custom Control can't be used

  Hi, I've developed a simple control by inheriting from ComboBox. eg public class CatKeyword : ComboBox {} There's hardly any extra code to it. I've done it such that the new Custom Control appears on the 'My App Components' list on the toolbox - just like a real comboBox! It worked when I first created it. But I went to use it again today and when I place it on the form it says "Failed to load toolbox item 'CatKeyword'. It will be removed from the Toolbox" And it removes it from the Toolbox only to put it back every time I do a build. Why can't it find my control do you think ughhhh .... to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Export / Save Workbook without Customization

  Hi all, I used VSTO and created a workbook so that users can inject data via action pane, but I now want to enable my users to export nothing just 'data' to a new file. I noticed that the "Save As" function will copy the 'customization' to the new file too, that's what I try to avoid, as I just want to enable users to export or save as (I don't know how to call this process) the processed worksheet to a new workbook. Otherwise, a customization error will be thrown. Thanks, Have a look at the thread about RemoveCustomization: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=434488&S ...Show All

• SQL Server Modifying the Initial Size of a database

  Hello everyone, I'm having a problem shrinking one of my tempdb data files.  When I initially installed SQL 2005, the data file for tempdb was 6GB.  I'm not sure why it created such a large file, I don't remember seeing a setting in the setup to change it either.  Can anyone give an explanation for the file being so large Anyway, after noticing this, I created several other data files and shrunk the main data file.  The problem now is whenever the service is restarted, it recreates that file as 6GB. Is there any way I can get that to remain the shrunk size after the service is restarted   I just need to ge ...Show All

• SQL Server Package hangs on parallel "upserts"

  I have data flow tasks, one which validates the import file and one which processes the import file if the validation passed. The validation runs and pushes the three row types to three different recordset destinations. When I enter the processing data flow task, I have three parallel trees processing each recordset saved in the previous task. I'm using a script component to generate the rows which are then sorted and merged with the production database to find existing records. Based on this, I split to an OLE DB command (running an UPDATE command) or OLE DB destination (to simply insert the records.) In this particular case, all records ar ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Updating a Typed Table

  I have a form which has a combobox and a collection of textboxes. The combobox is bound to one table and the textboxes are bound to another. However the value displayed by the combobox is also a field in the table to which the text boxes are bound. I have not been able to find a satisfactory way of updating this latter table after setting the required values on the form. The only way I have been able to do it is to put a dummy textbox onto the form and to bind this textbox to the table to which the other textboxes are bound and to set the text of the dummy textbox to a value which corresponds to the displayed value of the combobox in the ...Show All
