• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) SQL connection string

  I found an apparent bug while working through the DLinq Hands-On Lab. The bug is seen when using a SQL connection string to connect to SQL Server instead of SQL Express and the connection string uses "Data Source" instead of "Server". When I used "Data Source" instead of "Server" I always got connected to the default local instance instead of the named instance I was attempting to connect to. When I used "Server" the correct instance was used. // Connects to localhost DataContext db = new DataContext ( @ "Data Source=localhost\SQL2005;Initial Catalog=Northwind;Integrated Security=SSPI;" ); // Connects to localhost\SQL2005 ...Show All

• Visual C# Generics Question

  Hi there, Suppose I have the following class: public class CacheItem<T> { public T Data { get { ... } } public bool IsExpired { get { ... } } //other properties } How would I go about iterating over a collection of cache items where T could be different for each cache item In other words, how do I get this to work: foreach (CacheItem< > cacheItem in Cache.Items) { if (cacheItem.IsExpired) { ... } } As far as I can tell, this is impossible. The best I could do would be to define a non-generic ICacheItem interface and code against that. Then I could provide the generic CacheItem<T> clas ...Show All

• .NET Development Exception: DataTable internal index is corrupted: '5'. on ...

  Hi, I have a problem with bindingsource component in framework 2.0. I have a combobox bound to a bindingsource which is also bound to a dataset with 2 related tables and a datagridview bound to the same bindingsource. What I want to do is : When the selectedindex property of my combobox changes, the corresponding cell value must be changed in the datagridview. But although the value in bindingsource changes, datagridview does not display the new value. That value is displayed after I move the mouse over that cell and make it invalidate its region manually.

• Visual Studio Team System Checking a CoreField's Availability on its WorkItem's DisplayForm

  I have some code that sets certain CoreFields' values no matter the Project or WorkItemType. One of these fields is the Description field, which is defined in the CoreField enum in the WorkItemTracking.Client assembly. The problem is, there does not seem to be a truly reliable way to check if this field is visible on the DisplayForm in CMMI Projects (and perhaps all projects, but I have only come across this problem in CMMI ones). The Description field is available for such projects, but it is not visible in the Editor (WorkItem.DisplayForm) when the new Bug is displayed. The WorkItem Type Definition for CMMI Bug WorkItemTypes desc ...Show All

  Hi, I'm currently using Source Safe 6 and would like to connect it with my installation of VB Express 2005 beta2, is it possible And how do I make it If not, what are my options TIA /Kejpa   Hi Kejpa, Source control integration is not available for VisualStudio Express SKUs.

You'll have to use SourceSafe Explorer standalone to create a VSS project, set the working folder to your VB local project folder and add your files to Sou ...Show All
