• Visual Studio Team System How to determine solution workspace?

  G'day, Let's say I have two workspaces in my workstation. I have opened solution 1 in Visual Studio by using "Open from SC" in workspace1, worked with it some, then switched to solution 2 I have worked with previously, which happens to be in workspace 2. When working with version control solely through the Solution Explorer, one has no problems. However, in the TFS Source Code Explorer you have workspace selector combo box. Now, I have been working with solution 2, closed it, and opened solution 1. The solution 2 is in different workspace, but workspace selector in Source Code Explorer aint reflecting the workspace of curren ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to create a DropDownList/ContextMenu style window?

  I need a popup window(no border) to input some text. But it should be something like the drop down list of a combobox which doesn't make the owner form inactive. Making it a child window does that but it will be clipped by the owner form, while drop down list won't be clipped. I've tried changing the CreateParams to use different set of flags, but not successful. And I've been googling the whole afternoon... I saw someone says not to make that popup window active by SW_SHOWNA, but if the window is not active, then it cannot receive keyboard input. Does anybody know how DropDownList/ContextMenu achieve that ...Show All

• SQL Server Dynamic loading of a file

  I've been told by Kirk that it is possible to load a file whose metadata is unknown at design-time by using bulk insert along with a file (not a flat file) connection. He didn't elaborate though. Can anyone explain -Jamie Jamie, Bulk loading to several different tables with known metadata is simple. I don't know how one could load to a table with completely unknown metadata. The file connection works fine with the bulk insert task. If I remember this discussion, you were asking how to put a load into a foreach loop. If you had flat files with several different schema, you could name them accordingly and load into the table with the ap ...Show All
