• Visual Basic sql database

  I am trying to work on an inventory program for my model railroads using SQL.  i got the form down pat, but when I test it out and put data in, close it, then restart the build, nothing.  What am I doing wrong DUHHHHH .  I accidentally stumbled upon the way to get it going after I posted this.  Now, as long as I execute it from the release directory of vb, it will work.  Sometimes I have to try it twice for the sql server to kick in.  Thanks for the reply anyway. ...Show All

• .NET Development Binary Serialization of DataSets - bug with DateTime-Columns?

  I just tried to serialize a datatable which contains two DateTime-Columns (I use .Net 2.0).

• Visual Studio Express Editions Adding rows/cells to an asp:Table

  How do I add static rows/cells to an asp Table -- i.e., without manually coding them in Source view or dynamically adding them via code I've looked in help, but I can't see anywhere in Properties to add them, nor does a right-click offer any help, and there's no row or cell object in the Standard toolbox. I'm sure this is really really simple, but I just can't seem to find it. thanks...jon OK... I see; you have to be in design view, select the table, and finally the properties box shows the rows collect... Why isn't there a rows and cells object in the Standard toolbox ...Show All

• Visual Basic Setup errors

   Peculiar problem. I downloaded VB Express Beta.  Setup.exe stops about 3/4 done.  Task manager says it's still running, but nothing happens on the progress bar.  After a couple of hours ( ), I tell task manager to close it, then it reports Setup is not responding.  I've disabled virus scanner, firewall.  No luck.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Visual Test is blocked from clicking UI

  In the Vista docs, it mentions UIPI and UAP being off by default in Beta1.  Since installing the Dec. CTP, Visual Test gets an error "cannot set playback hook" when attempting to click buttons on other applications.  This is essential functionality for UI scripting via MSAA applications like Visual Test and Silk. What's the solution for enabling a VT to click buttons   Is this a bug of the Dec. CTP or a feature   We can and do run all of our Automated Script Testing as Admin.  This however, does not resolve the issue. Have Microsoft actually hinted that they'll be dropping su ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Custom/User Controls

  I've spent the last couple of nights struggling with WPF user/custom controls. Currently I am adding usercontrols to the children collection of a canvas in the MainWindow OnInitialized() override, getting the data to create the child from the database. Now ideally this could all be done declaratively, by binding an observable collection to a custom control which can handle the user control creation and presentation, and encapsulating all that logic in the control rather than the main window. I've got a user control which for now just exposes a couple of properties such as name, and has a really simple bit of xaml for th ...Show All
