  Hi, I have a question about controling textboxes created runtime. Is there any way of accessing directly to particular textbox created runtime (ex. textbox3) now i'm going trough all controls on panel (textbox is on it) and searching for particular control name.

• Visual Studio Team System Does TFS Includes VSS?

  If I buy  TFS do I need to buy alsoVSS or it includes version control for documents  and source code A big part of Team Foundation Server is a new version control system built from the ground up.  It uses SQL Server 2005 databases to store version controlled items.  So no, you don't need Visual Source Safe.  But you do need to buy one of the Visual Studio 2005 Team System SKUs, each of which include a CAL that allows access to the TF Server.  I'm not sure if there is going to be a stand-alone Team Explorer (w/CAL) SKU for doc writers, etc. ...Show All

• Architecture DAL Generator using Reflection

  Hello, I decided to develop an abstract class that my objects could inherit from and it'd generate Update/Insert/Select/Delete statements for me and I like the way it is structure and works but I do believe that the code itself could be written a little cleaner but since I'm rather inexperience I don't really know everything that is right/wrong so I was wondering if you guys would help me improve my architecture for my DatabaseWrapper.

• Windows Forms ListView Designer Problem

  Hi, I have an app with a limited designer. I need to somehow be notified when the number of Items in a ListView changes (in order to implement Undo) Here's what I have tried so far: 1) The Items collection has no collection events. 2) The PropertyGrid DOES NOT fire PropertyValueChanged events when the Items are edited via a CollectionEditor. 3) There does not appear to be any event in the ListView to notify me when the collection has changed. 4) There is no way to have the PropertyGrid notify me when an editor has started / stopped editing. 5) ListView SelectedIndexChanged does not help. 6) IComponentChangeService in my D ...Show All

• SQL Server MSDE reinstall.

  I had MSDE installed on my machine, but I had problems making it work.  I installed the Visual Studio 2005Beta2, and it apparently installed MSDE 2005.  I deinstalled MSDE 2000, then tried to make MSDE 2005 work.  After lots of hair pulling I finally found the instance name, reset the authenitcation method, and reset the SA password.  Then I found out all my sql tools don't work with it.  No enterprise manager or query analyzer.  So off MSCE 2005 came from my machine.  I reinstalled MSCE 2000, but I cannot login.  I am not sure if I don't have the proper instance name, or password for the sa account.&n ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. D3DFVF_XYZRHW

  I'm not as brainy as I'd like to be, and I'm currently trying to implement my own simple windowing system. I am currently drawing one poly over another using already transformed vertices. What I have found though is when I set the Z component to 1.0, my scene appears in front of the polygon, but at 0.9 it doesn't. Be aware that I am using an extremely large coordinate space (hundreds of millions of units for... you guessed it, space...) and there are items (large items) over 100 million kilometeres away, and my ship which is like 5m from my ship, but even it still appears in front of the polygon when z is 0.9. So, what I would like to ...Show All

• SQL Server Replication Montor 2005

  Is there any way to configure repl. monitor in 2005 to view all the publications that go via a distributor in one place (as opposed to having to link to each publisher to see the replictaion status). we have 7 publishers going throigh one distributor and in 2000 could see them all on the distributor...now have to connect to each publisher & look on each... Thanks DesX This is a design change in SQL 2005 (largely based on customer feedback), and there's no way to accomplish what you want with the given tools. However if you want to build your own tool, you can. SQL Monitor is built around proc sp_replmonitorpublicati ...Show All

• Visual Studio Restoring Add-Ins after Resetting the IDE

  Hi, When i reset the IDE by "devenv /resetsettings" from the commandline, my add-in gets removed from the 'Tools' menu. Then i need to drag it from the Tools\Customize.. to the 'Tools' menu. Can anyone tell me how to restore my Add-in to the Tools menu after resetting the IDE or point me articles regarding this Hi Padma, When you do a /resetsettings, the command bars are reset to defaults and you lose the add-in's command on the Tools menu. At that point, the only way to programmatically restore the command is to re-add it using Commands2.AddNamedCommand2(). The code in your add-in's OnConnection eve ...Show All

• Visual C# using keywords

  Hi everyone, I have some doubts about the usage necessity of using keywords. Instead of using this keyword, it is enough to only add the packages into our Assembly(DLL files), so inspite of this, why do some programmer do both of them(add the packages into Assembly and also use using keywords for these packages). Thanks, Mert Regardless of your having added a package to your assembly, you need either a using statement, or a complete namespace every time you use an object.  You're free to type System.IO.File.Exists instead of a using System.IO and then have access to the File class directly, but generally speaking, if I use a packa ...Show All
