• Visual C# User Selected Database Path

  I am currently creating a frontend for a database. The frontend is essentially used to input data into the database. However, since the database needs/is stored on a server, my application will not find it, as the app.config file specifies the connection string as "C:\...\filename.mdb" which is the path of the file on the computer I am creating it on, not of the server.   Is there some way to modify this code to be set by the user, from some kind of config form Perhaps using a openFileDialog and setting the selected path as a local variable and defining the connection string as this path If this is correct, how would I code t ...Show All

  I have completed my excel project, I am doing the fine tuning now. A little background it is an excel spread sheet created with VSTO, it pulls data from SQL and loads the data on different excel sheet based on what option they pulled. The issues I am having are that if I pull a dataset with more than 500 records I get a “Stack trace error” and “context switch deadlock was detected.” I have search this error on here and some suggested “What you are seeing is one of "Managed Debugging Assistants" (MDA) and can be disabled by Debug->Exceptions ... > Expand the MDA node and uncheck the box against contextswitch ...Show All

• Visual C# Getting a list of computers on a network

  I'm writing an application that needs to get a list of computers (their names) on a network. The examples I've found all seem to query an ActiveDirectory on a server, which is not what I need. Is there a way to get a list of computers on a server-less network using the .net 2.0 classes I've done this before in VB6 using API's, so would I have to do that in C# 2005 using System.Runtime.InteropServices, or can it be done with System.DirectoryServices Thanks for any help with this.   Yeshia wrote: Im not sure if this is what you are looking for but this code should get a list of computers ...Show All

• Windows Forms RadioButton: the Click event was raised unproperly

  Control :RadioButton Description: the RadioButton's Click event was raised even the Checked property is changed Programmatically in form's constructor/OnLoad event handler. I have found some document that says, the Click event won't be fired when programmatically changing the Checked property of a radio button. But actually, if you put a 'radiobutton1.Check = true;' in the constructor of the form, or even in the Form.OnLoad event handler, the Click event will be fired. So is there any way to identify if it is the user that is choosing this item, not a programmatical changing of the Checked property (You know i dont like ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Missing ORM Features

  Hi, Been playing with the preview and saw in the doco that mapping inheritence is not supported. This is fundamental to an ORM. Without it polymorphic queries are not possible. Not only this, but all ORMs I've worked with (Persistence, TopLink, Versant, Hibernate, NHibernate)  support the standard 3 ways of mapping inheritence to a relational model. This is equally important because alot of legacy schemas out there use a combination of these. IMHO DLinq is useless in any real business application without this. Whats the status regarding this one I hope it's one of your higher priority features. Another question I have is the need to ...Show All
