• Smart Device Development listbox and datasource problem

  Hi i have one problem with data in the listbox. if i assign Listbox1.datasource =  ArrayList1; and then if i work with arraylist items (add, remove), in the listbox is no change. why That is expected as ArrayList produces no notification events, so control is unaware of changes. To refresh the list you can rebind the array list after each change. To do so change the data source to null and set it back to ArrayList. That makes ArrayList a very poor data source, plus it’s very slow as reflections will be used to access data. You also can use data source which supports notifications. For example, DataTable, BindingList (V2), ...Show All

  Managed Code Analysis feature in Visual Studio Team System - 1. Is library support present for writing cusom rules 2. How are custom rules applied on target projects 3. Are all the features in FxCop like reporting supported Firstly you should know by the huge pricetag you presumably paid.

• Windows Forms Comunication between two forms

Form B would subscribe to this Event and in the event handling method it would receive the new Data Source and use it to refresh the Grid. Other way would be if you open Form B from Form A, then in the co ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista I got only one thing to say...

    I tried to contact mr. Gates for several months, but there was no answer to my letters. I tried as well to contact other's in the Microsoft Cooperation, but with no success. I had and certainly still have some great ideas to combine with the Vista OS... and many more ideas that would probably deal with the open source madness. But, as you know, there are two sides to this war, Microsoft and Google... I assumed Google would be very interested in my proposal, and I was extremely correct! My sites can definitely affect a great number of teenagers which are going to be the next generation of technology, and might understand, w ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to Delete Records from Sorted DataGrid, , Programmatically

  I have a Delete button on a form and a datagrid (forms). When I sort the datagrid and run my Delete Routine, I end up deleting with reference from the row number. So if A (which it's absolute positions in 2) is sorted and is now in row 10, when I delete it, it removes which ever was in row 10. How would I get the absolute row position of a row in a sorted datagrid Hello, you can get the actual row's index from something like this (where myDS.myTABLE is your datatable bound to the datagrid and Me refers to your windows form) Dim index As Integer = 0 index = Me.BindingContext.Item(myDS.myTABLE).Curre ...Show All
