• Windows Forms Can datagridview host a user control (not derived from the commonly used controls)

  Hi, I'm looking for a way to host a user control inside a datagridview cell. Most of the articles that talk about this use controls that get input from the user and the input is translated back into the cell in some form (i.e. text). And these articles use controls that inherit from other well known controls like combo boxes, edit boxes, etc. What I'm looking for is a way to embed a user control that, say, has an image in it. So I want to ...Show All

• SQL Server After Transaction Log Grows, it won't shrink.

  The other day I had someone truncate an extremely large transaction log (100GB) but it wouldn't return the space to the OS, not even after a backup and restore operation. There’s an interesting bit of trivia around shrinking this file. When the log file is truncated, you may not see all of the space returned to the OS. The reason is the way the data might be spread. Here’s the way we think data looks in the log file: <BeginFile>xx ...Show All

• SQL Server Error in IN-Clause

  I detected an error in the in clause. If you check for the existence of a value in a field with a subselect, the TSQL-Engine will not detect a missing field definition if the field name in the subselect is the same as the field name on the left of the clause. Here's an example that should throw an error but doesn't! go CREATE TABLE TABLE_A(COL_A int) go CREATE TABLE TABLE_B(COL_B int) go SELECT * FROM TABLE_A WHERE COL_A IN (SELECT COL_A FROM T ...Show All
