• Windows Forms How to open a form, collect user input from a second form that opens, then display the appropriate data on the original form?

  I am trying to develop my first multi-user program in VB. NET - a language that I don't know, in an object oriented environment which I know very little about. Yay. I have run into a couple of challenges that I am not sure how to approach and figured maybe some of you could point me in the right direction. Both of these issues are related to opening a form, prompting another form to open and gathering information, and then sending that information back to the first form. The first scenario: When I run the application, I have a menu of different screens. I select the "Benefits Management" screen (which has information about an emplo ...Show All

• Visual C++ RMDIR bugging???

  Hello, I need help with RMDIR desperately... well, I got this code from the HELP files but doesn't seem to be working... /* remove example: remove or delete directory C:\test */ #include <stdafx.h> int _rmidr(       const char "C:\\test" );    return 0; } but what's wrong with this An identifier is a name: it identifies something. In your code "_rmdir" is an example of an identifier and in this context it identifies a function which, if invoked, will deleted a directory on your disk. If you look at my example above you will see that it starts with: #include <direct ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Bug in team build report in beta3??

  I have strange problem with Beta 3 (I have to test it on refresh version also), when I launch a Team Build from Team Explorer, if I keep the "report" Team build generates, code coverage results are not included in that report page, but if I close the page just when it starts to be generated (when it first appears beginning team build), code coverage results are correctly included, it's not big problem for the moment (it's beta I know) but it is curious Luis, Just to clarify, I'm assuming what you mean to say is that when you reopened the completed build, you were able to see the code coverage data The code coverage data gets generated ...Show All

• Windows Forms Repositioning ToolStrip at runtime

  I'm creating a form that has two ToolStrip controls. When the application is running, I'd like to be able to reposition the ToolStrips by dragging them by their grips, including (I believe the term is) "rafting" the ToolStrips into a single row. This seems like it ought to be an easy thing but I'm stumped -- the ToolStrips are fixed in place. The cursor doesn't change to the four-way arrow over the grips either. I've tried putting the ToolStrips in a ToolStripContainer, but that hasn't seemed to help. Here's a code fragment showing one of the ToolStrips, if that's helpful. // // planToolStrip // this .planToolStrip.A ...Show All

• SQL Server Setting SQL server Express maximum memory usage

  Hi All, How can we set the maximum memory usage for SQL server Express I have tried setting it in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express - Memory option, but it didn't have any effect.A problem I'm facing now is that the sqlservr memory usage keeps increasing and eventually slows down my application. Is there a way to set the upper limit or clear the unused memory Thank you.

• Visual Basic TableAdapter update unchanged record cause Concurrency Violation

  I found that concurrency violation would occur if updating the database using table adapter when the actual record does not have any change. Seems like my DataGridView marked the row dirty. TableAdapter.Update would result in concurrency violation because zero record was modified. Seems like TableAdapter did not verify there are actual changes in the record before sending the update command. Bug It may be simple to reproduce in your project, but I can't reproduce the problem you describe on my data grid. To my mind, that makes it probable that it's related to your project or data source. The scenario ...Show All

• Architecture General best practices for .NET development

  Hello, I'm an ex Java developer now working for a young and fairly naive company that is largely .NET oriented. I, and really the company as a whole, feel very much "thrown into the thick of things" and I'm positive there are better methods and techniques to accomplish my goals. I just find myself often with general questions about .NET and writing .NET applications. Ideal versioning techniques, sharing libraries we have written across projects at the company, effective build processes and deployment processes, etc etc. For example: Say three different projects all wish to use a same library. Should the library be made ava ...Show All
