• Windows Forms ContextMenu problem...

  How can I obtain the Parent of a ContextMenu I succesfully patched the problem in an "unelegant" manner (Added a Parent Property to my class and I've assigned it after the InitializeComponent...) that works... but sucks!!! Thank you! What do you mean by Parent   A ContextMenu control does not belong to any particular control. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Any build-in feature to memorize datagridview setting?

  My winform application has a datagridview which let users to set columns' width and height freely. Is there any build-in functionality to store the setting of the datagridview(such as column's width, row's height .etc) so that the users don't need to set them everytime the application is started Thanks. Hello. There isn't anything built-in but I don't think this would be very difficult to create. You would realy just need to persist the DisplayIndex, Width, and Height of each column into something like an XML file in IsolatedStorage (so that it is per-user rather than per machine). There is a good example of this here   ...Show All

• .NET Development Access, ADO.NET, Memory?

  I have a quick question. I have a VS2005 application which uses an Access database. The application and ADO.Net do all the work that most people would use a database engine to do. My question is about memory utilization. Suppose I had table A. It simply has pointers or references to a table of large documents stored as OLE Data objects. When JET/ADO.NET bring that table into memory does it bring the entirety of that table into memory If there are 50 MB of documents does bringing the table in to retrieve Document1 bring everything that the database has in that table with it In other words is that going to allocate 50 MB of memory ...Show All

• Visual Studio Hiding the Navigation Bars

  Hello all, I've implemented a language service using the core editor. In my LS I have added the support needed for the editor nagivation bars. The only problem I have is that when disabling the nagivation bars from the Tools > Options dialog, for my editor, they do not dissappear. Even when I restart Visual Studio .NET there are still there, even though the 'Navigation bar' is unchecked in my editor options. When implementing a language service, I do not override the default implementation of LanguageService.CreateCodeWindowManger or LanguageService.GetCodeWindowManager, so I was expecting removal of the navigation bar adornments to be ha ...Show All

• Windows Forms Deploy chm file with click-once

  I'd like to include a chm file with the application that I am deploying, but no matter what subdirectory of the project I put it in I can't seem to get the file to be included in the deployment. The help file does work correctly from my application on the development machine where I have it located in the project bin directory. Right now, my deployment is just to a directory from which I burn a CD. Thanks, jerryK Have you changed the BuildAction property of the file to "Content" I think that's about all I did to get it to work.   ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Lambdas in Custom Attributes

  I want to pursue the concept of embedding lamdbas in custom attributes. It is not supported today to my knowledge but I believe could be very valuable for DLINQ and more.  public class Customer {   [Association((c, o) => c.CustomerID == o.CustomerID && o.Status == OrderStatus.Incomplete)]   public Order[] IncompleteOrders; } I believe that a syntax such as this would generalize the join conditions that are supported by AssociationAttribute and allow for additional conditions. In that way, queries need not repeat those conditions.  Note that regardless of whether DLINQ adopts this, there is a deeper is ...Show All

  Hi all, I'm having trouble getting Visual Web Developer Express 2005 installed because I'm having problems uninstalling Visual Web Developer Express and SQL Server Express (both Beta 2).

• .NET Development WSE 3 Access Web Service through DLL

  Hi, I have a scenario as follow: The client application is Windows form which is using bunch of DLLs (.NET) also. One of the dll provides access to the web service. If I put WSE configuration settings in the DLL (Say MyDLL.DLL.Config) config file then the Client exe (Say MyApp.Exe) does not apply those settings. From the design point of view it becomes the responsibility of dll to apply those settings. My question is how the WSE 3.0 will find those settings in MyDLL.DLL.Config file instead of MyApp.exe.config file Do I have to do it in code Any idea Can I use webservice through DLL or not Let us say that the DLL is third part ...Show All
