  Hi All, I just configure the SQL TCP/IP but after I configure, I can't connect to the server via SQL Management tool.

• Windows Forms How to edit a date to null from a textbox

  Hello, I have a textbox bound to a smalldatetime field. The SQL table definition of the field allows nulls. The dataset was created with an SQL data adapter "fill" command. Whenever I change a date in the textbox to an empty value it replaces it with the original datetime. How does one get the textbox to accept an empty string or, more basically, how can a date be edited to null from a textbox Any help or reference to documentation is much appreciated. You could add a Parse handler for the textbox, like orderDateTextBox.DataBindings[0].Parse += new ConvertEventHandler (ParseValue); void ParseValue( ...Show All

• Visual C# Read-only wrappers for derived classes

  Can anyone point me to a good method for implementing read-only wrappers around a derived class rather than, for example, a simple collection What I mean is that I have class A which inherits from class B. B is not abstract, so can and will be instantiated on its own. I need to be able to create read-only versions of A and B. The only way I've come up is to have a class ReadOnlyB : B, blocking writes and forwarding reads. That's fine. But for A, if I implement a class ReadOnlyA : A, it has to override not just the members of A, but those of B as well - not nice, especially in a hierarchy 3 or 4 deep. Got to be a better way Thanks.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Confused on why is is possible to drop activities in .XOML and .XOML.CS files?

  Hi everybody, I may be overlooking something obvious, but this is sort of confusing to me, so I would appreciate a clarifying voice on this. If I create a WF console app, delete the original "Workflow1.cs" file, and add a "Sequential workflow (with code separation)" item, then I get 2 files in the solution explorer: "workflow1.xoml" and "workflow1.xoml.cs". I can click on each one of those two files, and add activities separately ( ): For example I put a "code1" activity on the .xoml designer file, and a "code2" activity on the .xoml.cs designer and create some handlers for them. The code is reflected in the class, as it can be se ...Show All
