• Windows Forms DataGridView selected row color

  I'm so confused on this. After looking at the docs and inherited behavior, etc, I just don't get it. I want to change the selection color to a color that I have prediefined for that row when the user selects it. For example, if the user selects row 1 I want the selection color to be red, if row 2 yellow, etc. Currently, when I add a row to the grid, I am assigning a DataGridViewCellStyle with SelectionBackColor = a color, to each cell in the row. Is this the only way Is this that difficult to do I'm sure I'm missing something that seems so easy to do. Thanks, Scott Check out these samples, they are pretty good. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Is vc++ 6.0 good

  i bought a book on vc++6.0.can i build powerful software applications with that.what is the difference between the vc++6.0 and vc++ 2005.what is the latest released version Well... you could use VC++ 6.0 but that's too old really. VC++ 6.0 was released about 8 years ago and I'd say that the quality of the C++ compiler and the IDE itself improved a bit since then . Not to mention that there is a free version of VC++ 2005 called "Express" (though it does not have support for MFC and ATL) see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Office automation - getting a built-in constant with late binding from .NET

    Hello everybody,    Because my application has to target multiple versions of Office I've chosen to use late binding. I don't want to hard code the constants (for example Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem) but to get them at runtime through late binding.    How could I do this from C# or Visual Basic .NET    Best regards,    Gabriela Hi folks! I had quite a similar problem lately, and I maybe found quite an easy way to "hard-code" these things. Take a look at http://www.aurigma.com/Products/COMtoNET/ .

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Flicker in Direct3D application ???

  Hello guys, I developed a small(very simple) 2D game last summer, and I remember I had to use a temporary output for the Drawing/Graphics, and then whole Output draw at once(like one bitmap) so that I avoided "FLICKER PROBLEM". Now, I am trying to get into 3D programming and want to ask, if there could be the same problem, because when my SpaceShip is moving I think its not so smooth as it should be and that it might be the same issue with Drawing something on something else and therefore cause flickering. I am using Direct 3D to render scene. Thx. Peto Usually flickering is the resu ...Show All

• SQL Server Page break occurring between a list and a table

  I have a fairly simple report, which consists of two datasets, and one list and one table. I have the list and table both as part of the body (no embedding inside each other). Everything works as expected, except that there is always a page break between the list and the table. I've double checked all the PageBreakAtEnd/Start, but it's false all the way over. Is there some other place that I need to set something to force everything on one page This report is embedded in an application, so have multiple pages doesn't make sense.
