• Windows Forms Window Form ComboBox and DataGrid question

  I am having a few problems with windowforms. 1. In a combo box when you type one character it treats the SelectedIndexChanged as changed. 2. In a combo box how do I allow for nulls. 3.

• Visual C++ complete word of vc++ 2005 express edition is very bad

  i have a project which has a lot of files. when using vc 2003, it can do word compete well. but vc++ 2005 express can't do word complete. what's more,clicking on the include statement(e.g. #include "a.h") and trying to open the header file fails too, but vc 2003 can open it. why can't work just because it's express edition Hi Steve, I'm just guessing, but it is quite possible you are using headers related to Win32 programming. This would explain both why VS is not able to open the header file as well as Intellisense not giving you complete dropdowns. If this is the case, you should install the Platform ...Show All

• SQL Server Charts on multiple pages??

  Hi All, I am using SQL Reportig Services 2005 for displaying reports in Bar Graph charts. The problem is that the width of each bar in chart is not fixed and changes based on volume of data. If number of rows retrieved by dataset connection are many, then the graph appears too cramped and is not readable. Is there any way, programmatically or at design time, that we can change the width of chart based on number of rows retrieved in the dataset Any help or reference will be highly appreciated. Thanks in Advance !!! Assuming all the data you are showing as bars are really detail rows rather than grouped data, you could ...Show All

• .NET Development How to know when a CAO client has close?

  I am using a CAO schema in a remoting scenario. I need to know when a client has close the app. It's a chat, and I need to know when clients close, so I report the session termination to the other clients. Any idea Do u know about another schema wich could work better than CAO I dont like singleton cause i cant have individual info for each client since they share the same object.

• Windows Forms Control Display after Form is Loaded

  After the form is loaded there is a brief but noticible period during which the form is visible but the controls are transparent. Presumably this is while the child controls are being painted. Oddly when one control is filled (no longer transparent) the others are filled too. It seems to be a all or nothing thing.  My question is how can I ha ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView GetFirstRow() problems

  Hi all I'm using the GetFirstRow(DataGridViewElementStates::Displayed) function to work out which the first row displayed on the list at the current time. There are two problems with this though. First is that the docs say that it is meant to be for internal use of the framework rather than being used by plebs like myself. The second problem is that if the DataGridView isn't actually visible, the function returns -1. Not surprising I guess since none of the rows are actually visible. But I still need to do things to this first row even if its not currently visible. Does anyone know a better way to get this first displayed row ...Show All

• Visual C# casting problem from SD.DbType to SD.SqlDbType

  Hi all. I have a very strange problem of casting from SD.DbType to SD.SqlDbType/ When I try to cast SD.DbType to SD.SqlDbType it returns odd SqlDbType.

• Visual FoxPro SELECT - SQL executed partically

  I have 11,000 directories in my machine on one partition only (C:). In order to expedite search for file I need (I found MS search engine too slow) I scan all directories once in 10 days and create a table with directory shorthands and a field where extensions of the files located there are stored. Some directories have too many various types of files and I use a memo field to store extensions for them. Thus the primary field has 80 char length but there is a logical field "overflows" that signals the fact that that the memo field should be looked into. The trouble is: my SELECT statement ignores the memo field as I just found out. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Workflow Designer Rules Support

  Hi, I'm in the process of trying to setup a demonstration application which shows an example of workflow and rules management. I need to basically setup a workflow, set some properties, then run the workflow from the designer. Part of this demo include the use of an IfElse activity and a Policy activity which link with the rules engine portions. I've trundled through the examples and the current samples get things about 75% of the way there, and I've probably gotten another 5-10% there by looking at the threads here, but I'm still stuck. Here is what's happening: 1. Create a new workflow 2. Drop an IfElseActivity on the design surface, thro ...Show All
