• Visual C# Multiple ComboBox Display Issue

  I have a windows form application with three dependant comboboxes.  The comboboxes are using an ArrayList as a datasource.  Each box has it's own. The first comboBox (Unit) is the main driver.  SqlDataReader provides the dataelements for the ArrayList. The second ComboBox (Comp) is dependant on the results from (Unit). It works the first time.  I can select from (Unit) and then using the Validated event, populate (Comp). I can select from (Comp).  Everything works. The second time I change (Unit).  After the Validated event fires the (Comp) box becomes invisible (when using Visible attribute) and will not sho ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Workflow from XAML with Custom Activity

• SQL Server SQL Server pricing

  If this is not the best place for this question perhaps someone can direct me to the right place. Please do not send me to a knowledge base article as this does not really help. I come from a Sybase background. I have the potential to direct various companies that need client/server applications to SQL Server but it is not clear to me (even vaugely) what it is going to cost them. These businesses have maybe 20 to 50 PC's that might need to access data on a SQL Server database. This will almost always be done through an application like Visual Studio .NET. The number of people that will actually need to go into SQL Server Management Studio ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Checkin problem in TFS MSSCCI Final

  I have two files checked out and they are in two different projects. I want to check in these two files in one changeset. However, when I clicked the Check In button in the Pending Checkins window in VS.NET 2003. The TFS checkin dialog box only shows one file in one project. I clicked Check In, then it shows the other file. Is there a way to group these two files in one changeset Thanks, -hengyi Hello, unfortunately VS2003 (and other IDEs as well) are performing checkin per SCC connection. Each project (or even part of the project - for example in web projects) has separated connection and in fact ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro older scatter gather, and VFP.

  Hi; I have a form which the user fills. The info the user enters need to be added as a record in a table. In the Foxpro2.6 world I used to do this by letting the user edit empty memory vars, and then append blank / gather from memvar. I am wondering if there is a better way to do this in VFP9 I know I can use buffering then tableupdate(), but that requires that I would append blank FIRST before I let the user edit the fields. I would like a way for the user to edit the fields, and if he cancels out, to be able to revert the table to its condition without an empty record. I think maybe transaction processing might be ...Show All

• SQL Server Why SQL2005 Is NOT Faster Than SQL2000?

• SQL Server ErrorCode and ErrorColumn in Excel Destination

  I am exporting records with errors to Excel using the Excel Destination tool. The ErrorColumn is a numeric. How do I find out which column it is While it's fairly easy to add an ErrorDescription column on top of the ErrorCode, it's NOT so easy to add an ErrorColumnName on top of the ErrorColumn numeric ID value, because of all the ifs ands and buts that determine whether the column name is readily available or not. (For example, did the preceding component have synchronous or asynchronous outputs, and so forth.) You can run your error output through a Script Component and try looping through the columns in i ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Speed difference between GraphEdit and custom application

  Hi, wonder if anyone has encountered this problem. I have a custom transformation filter, which runs basic thresholding computer vision algorithms. In GraphEdit, it uses 47% of CPU capacity and runs very fast, but when loaded into my custom application, uses 99% of CPU capacity and runs very slow. I use an Acer Travelmate 8104 2GHz Centrino. The obvious culprit is the application, which I initially wrote in C# using DirectShowLib from sourceforge.net. But when I wrote a basic application in Visual C++ using native libraries to test that theory, I had the same problem. So, something else is causing a massive speed drain.
