• .NET Development Adding connection to SQL server 2005

      Good morning, I am using VS 2005, and I ve installed SQL server 2005 (not the one given by VS2005). I ve establish connection to my data base.

• SQL Server Merge Replication Updates on Initialise (SQLServer 2005)

  I have a merge replication scenario where the technicians are filtered by their individual codes. Each technician has his own mobile device for collecting and synchronising data. On initialisation of the subscription, the user should only get the data that is relevant to their code. The client is staging the rollout to all of their technicians and as the system has grown, we have noticed that there are a number (getting larger every day) of updates that are creeping into the initialisation of each subscription. My understanding is that an initialisation will only ever apply the inserts necessary to create the subscriber database. Is my unde ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to Get Values from Datagridview row

  I have a datagridview on a form which is bound to a dataset. When the user selects a row I want to get teh values from two of the columns in that row. I am able to use the following code to get a value a place it in the variable varTransID. varTransID = TransactionsDataGridView.CurrentRow.Cells(0).Value However, I am afraid that if the user rearranges the columns then the the column reference will pull fromt he wrong column. IS there any way to reference the column title so that I am sure I get teh right value. Perhaps something like this: varTransID = ClientsDataGridView.CurrentRow.Cells( "TransactionID" ).Value Unfortunately the program ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Inspecting a State Machine Workflow

  Hi there!. I'm developing a State Machine Workflow. First, please let me put you in context: It’s like a form approval, but the form in cuestion has states (ie: Pending, OnCourse, Rejected, WaitingApproval, Approved) and if the form is Reject, the next State it’s OnCourse again doing a new iteration. I'm using Lab04 as example and I've definied the workflow until this point without problems, but now, when I'm going to code the "test host" I have some questions. In Lab04 a lot for work is done in classes StateMachineInstance and StateMachineTrackingService. Reading these classes I understand that are inspecting the Workflow ...Show All

• Windows Forms Implementing Cut, Copy, Paste, in a Menu

  Here's my situation.  I have a Form with a couple of TextBoxes and a MenuStrip that contains an "Edit" menu with cut, copy, paste, etc.  If I simply have the "Edit" menu items using NO shortcut keys (i.e. Ctrl+X, Ctrl+X, etc) the that functionality works fine in the TextBoxes, for example I can select some text in a TextBox and and use Ctrl+X to cut it.  BUT, if I add shortcut keys to my menu items that functionality goes away, obviously because it hasn't been implemented in my menu items. My questions is, is there a simple way to have the menu items hook up with/or disregard the textboxes so they still work with the ...Show All

• SQL Server Strange bug with intellisense...

  Hi all, I've got a strange bug with VS.NET and SSRS. Whenever I build my solution and it automatically deploys the SSRS reports to our report server, my intellisense stops working and I have to restart VS.NET to get it back. It only happens when the reports are automatically deployed. It doesn't happen if a solution has no report project. Any ideas as to what I can do to fix this Regards, Stephen. Still having this problem and its driving me nuts! Anyone know if there's anything that can be done to stop it Regards, Stephen. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Add Work Item menu still loading...

  I just uninstalled/reinstalled TFS on my server.  I uploaded my custom process template, and created a new team project from my template.  However, when I try to right-click the Work Items folder, Add Work Item, it says "Add Work Item menu still loading...(try again in a moment)".  It has been saying this for over an hour now.  When I remote desktop into the TFS server and use team explorer on there, I can add work items just fine.

• Visual C# Adding midi or wav files.

  I am making a program to provide information, and I need to be able to someones voice to play automatically in the backround. Can someone tell me how to do that "/" is not a valid path separator (although most .Net file operations recognize them).  The correct path separator is "\" and like Karen points out, you can use Verbatim string.  Also, it appears that you are missing spaces in the directory name - perhaps it is "c:\Documents and Settings" instead of "c:/DocumentsandSettings" So, try this: player.SoundLocation = @"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.XXXXXX-.XXXX\My Documents\My Music\test.wav"; Or better still, ...Show All

So how do we get around this Thank you a lot for the code!. Sincerlly works like a charm. The code was modified to adapt to my particular use: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.ComponentModel; namespace YourNameSpace { partial class DropDownLis ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Using Module

  Hello, I am working on a program that uses a lot of subs and functions, so I wanted to bring those together in 1 single module file. Now I did this (see code), but I noticed that it compiles the module with my app, and it doesn't compile it to an dll as I want to. Anyone here knows how to solve this because it is important that I can 'update' the file just by replacing my module dll by a new one. Here is the code I'm using: Module modules Public Sub SetSettings() E nd Sub Public Sub GetSettings() End Sub Public Sub cfu( ByVal flag As Integer ) Select Case flag Case 0 Try My .Computer.Network.DownloadFile( ...Show All
