• Windows Forms Search for a value in a DataGrid Column.

  How do you search for a value in the first column of a DataGrid For example, the first Column of my DataGrid is Called InspectionID. It's a hidden Column. Lets say the InspectionID is 50, I wish to search or scan or interogate the first Column called InspectionID to find which ROW has the value of InspectionID = 50. Then I need to make the DataGrid select that row. Keep in mind that the DataGrid may have 1, 5 or 50 rows of data. I could iterate, but supose I have 100,000 rows....... it would be extremely ineficient, and very flashy too! ...Show All

• Visual Studio [ReportViewer]Background Thread Uses Wrong Culture!

  Hi all, Using VS 2005 and the reportviewer with local objects as datasources, I have run into a problem when the report is generated. It seems that the reportgeneration is using a background thread (of course, the user can abort it), BUT this thread is (always) using "en-US" as culture! My application is using sv-FI, so what on earth is hapening This leads to at least two problems: 1. DateTime.ToShortDateString() returns a datetime using "M/d/yyyy" instead of "d.M.yyyy". 2. The PaperSize is set to "letter" instead of A4. You guys think its fun when the printer is flashi ...Show All

• SQL Server Extending SQL Server 2005 Mgmt Studio?

  Hi, I've had requests for a version of my product ViEmu, a VS.NET 2003-VS2005 add-in, which will work within SQL Server 2005 Management Studio. I had a look at the Mgmt Studio, and it seems to be a version of the VS2005 environment customized for the product. There is a registry hive along the line of the one in Visual Studio, but located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Shell. I looked for any hint online, but it seems largely undocumented. I tried plugging my software by writing the right 'Packages' and 'AutoloadPackages' keys, and running "SqlWb /setup", which seems to do something. Nothing ...Show All

• Windows Forms Question about threading Forms

  I have two different forms in my app.  One is the main form and is the form the user is watching most of the time.  The other one is a information window with a datagrid.  This datagrid needs to be refresed every 5 secs and I have a Timer for that, but when ever the timer event gets invoked the main form flashes and loses focus.
