• Windows Forms VS2005: How to handle DateTime <=> DateTimePicker and NULL less verbose

  Hello, I have a DateTimeForm (single DateTimePicker which holds a nullable DateTime) The typed datarow (_row) throws an exception for null so i need the first if And I need another if/else for handling the null value correctly for the return value... this seems very ugly to me...can someone simplify this : DateTimeForm form = new DateTimeForm(); DateTime datetime = null ; if (!_row.IsdatetimeNull())     datetime = _row.datetime; form.datetime = datetime; if (form.ShowDialog() == DialogResult .OK) {     if (form.datetime == null )    _row.SetdatetimeNull(); else   & ...Show All

• Visual Studio How do I hide a toolbar in a tool window?

  In Visual Studio .Net 2003, I want to show/hide a toolbar in a tool window at a user's request.  The IVsToolWindowToolbarHost interface has a method, ShowHideToolbar(), which looks like it will work but the VSIP and VS SDK documentation indicate this method is for use only by the Visual Studio environment and not for use by a VSPackage. So how do I dynamically show/hide a toolbar in a tool window Please note that I'm using unmanaged C++. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. The ShowHideToolbar provided by IVsToolWindowToolbarHost is safe to call, as are BorderChanged and ForceUpd ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions I may have found a way (Excel to Form Controls) but one problem...

  I just coded a functionality in my program that with a click of a button pulls up Excel, takes all values as strings and populates the spreadsheet in a particular format, with column names, and even makes a line chart out of two column's data. This was pretty hard to find out how to do but after fits and starts it finally works great. My question now is... I'd like to go in the reverse direction - to open a particular spreadsheet (which will be created new daily and saved to a default folder; with studies of stock market picks, stocks, trade ideas and so on) and bring that data back into my form, back into the original place it came from, ...Show All

• Windows Forms graphics flicker problem (double buffer not working)

  I am trying to create a simple Breakout type game. I have a game panel on my form that holds my game (the paddle, ball, and board of blocks). I use a timer with an interval of 10 to move the ball a set distance every tick. The problem is that I also draw the board everytime this timer ticks and it flickers. I tried setting the doublebuffered attribute of my form to true but it didnt help. Anyone have any ideas either a different/ebtter way to buffer it or a different way of drawing the board I tried making a new panel on top of my game panel to just draw the board in but that didnt work for me either (unless I did something wrong).

• Visual C# DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn

  Hi, i added a DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn in my datagridview using C# in a Windows form. The datatable I show in the grid has only one column. I don’t know how to iterate the results in the Datagrid, i would like to see if the row is checked and call a function if it is for every result i got. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance You could do it by iterating through the DataSource that is bound to the grid.  or you could use dataGridView1.Rows[0].Cells[0].Value; and iterate through the rows and columns by changing the indexes from 0.  Lastly you could implement the Cel ...Show All

• Windows Forms RadioButton: the Click event was raised unproperly

  Control :RadioButton Description: the RadioButton's Click event was raised even the Checked property is changed Programmatically in form's constructor/OnLoad event handler. I have found some document that says, the Click event won't be fired when programmatically changing the Checked property of a radio button. But actually, if you put a 'radiobutton1.Check = true;' in the constructor of the form, or even in the Form.OnLoad event handler, the Click event will be fired. So is there any way to identify if it is the user that is choosing this item, not a programmatical changing of the Checked property (You know i dont like ...Show All
