• Windows Forms AutoToolboxPopulate not working

  Hi One of the great things I liked when beta testing VS 2005 was the AutoToolboxPopulate feature that would populate a special tab in your solution toolbox whenever you create a new Control or Component. The feature seems to still be there (seen it in the Windows Forms Designer UI options tab) but it is not working properly. Whenever I build my app, the controls built in are not showing up in the toolbox. Is it related to the fact that I create simple classes files instead of custom control files (which at the end are just source code files) Thanks Amadrias I received a response from Microsoft the other day ...Show All

• Visual Basic DataRelation constraint

  I have a master detail relationship basically an Order to Line Item relationship. I have a business rule that must be enforced which is that an order must have at least on line item.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks in Advance ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Progress bar

  Ok. how do you gte a progress bar to work beacuse i'm clueless. Well, which bit are you stuck with The most common reason that people ask this is because they are trying to show progress on an atomic operation ( that is, they call a method and expect a progress bar to move while that method runs, that won't happen ), or because they don't see anything on the progress bar, because their processor is taken up by the operation ( call Application.DoEvents() within your method to fix this ). If this doesn't answer your question, please provide some more detail and the code you've already written, and I'll be happy to help further. ...Show All

• Visual C# Passing arrays from unmanaged DLL code to c#

  Hi, I pass my dll the filename (string) to an image and it returns a list of points which are detected faces on that image. What I have done is pass a parameter from c# which is a pointer to an empty array. The dll code then allocates the array for the list of points and returns the size of the array. I then copy the array for use in c#. This does work - but is it the right way to do this (seems like a bit of a hack) If I wanted to pass a list of structs (instead of ints) back from the dll how would I do this see code below Thanks Ashwin ashwinv wrote: No i don't think so....as I am passing a reference ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Casting a parameter to it's parent

  Hello I want to implement a routing service which receives data and forwards it to another service without actually knowing the data type. I know I can achieve this using the message header and body in SOAP, but how do I achieve that otherwise I have this scenario: public class A {class data} public class B : A {class data} public void DoSomething(A a) It's easy to cast object of type B as A and send it to the "DoSomething" method inside a process, but how do I do that in WCF I expected the serialized data to the used in the service to create the parent class (class "A") while the excess serialized ...Show All

• SQL Server Query Question (SQL Noob from MS Access)

  Question: How do you concatinate fields in SQL   I tried in a SQL query, but did not have any success.  I'm coming from MS Access where it is simple to add fields together. *** MS Access SQL *** SELECT Table1.Field1, Table1.Field2, Expr1: Table1.Field1 & " - "& Table1.Field2 FROM Table1 *** END *** You could add fields and put characters between the two different fields like a space and/or some sort of seperation character (/,-,_,:) in an expression.  Then you could call that expression from whatever you wanted.

• Visual Basic Updating Multiple Related Tables in a Database

  Hello. I am new to the VB 2005 arena, and apologise if I am asking a stupid question. But I am really stuck on one thing.

• SQL Server performance issue with trans log on tempdb?

  I am running in to a tricky issue, and am hoping someone here has seen something like this before. Here's the basic sequence I am working with. A temp table #A contains some number of rows (in this case, about 45k rows). 1. Create temp table #B and insert a subset of the rows in #A (in this case, the subset happens to be 100% of #A) 2. Perform a few dozen updates to #B, using data from permanent tables. 3. Update the rows in #A with #B, i.e.: UPDATE #A SET xxx = xxx FROM #B JOIN #A ON #A.id = #B.id So, here's the problem: - I run steps 1 and 2, and they complete very quickly. I run step 3, and it completes very quickly (a ...Show All
