• Visual C# Accessing object in form (newbie question)

  Hi, Sorry, this is a very simple question, but I am new to c#. Here goes: I am creating a simple app, which has a class with holds a list of names (say). in my main Form I create an instance of this class: MyClass names = new MyClass(); Then, in the main form I can access this various functions associated with this class (to add or remove names from the object). If I create in my main form a new form that has a textbox to input a name into the object names, I find that in the new form (form2) that I cannot access my names object.

• Visual C++ Porting from VC6 to VS2005

  Hi, I am porting my project from VC6 to VS2005. There is no problem with my code; however, I am using a third party MFC extension dll. This dll was compiled on VC6, and I don't have its source code, therefore I can't recompile it. Since the MFC80 and MFC42 dll's aren't binary compatible, I can't port my project to use the new mfc dll's while continuing to use the third party dll. I'd appreciate any input that might help me solve this problem. Thank you, Tomer. Mhhhh. Only way I see: Compile the MFC 4.2 with the new compiler and use it with your code. Also you have to use the old CRT! Maybe you have to recompile it from the sources too. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Modelling SqlServer 2005 database

  My TFS project has database, what is the best way for modelling database I guess I should use "Sql Server Project" template, but how can I add and support DB diagram to this project Should I still use Visio For Entrprise Architects 2003 (I have one 11.4301.6568 version) Ideally I want to have database schema stored in the TFS and all changes are made to the schema should be reflected to physical DB and vice versa.

• Visual Basic creating a vb code file to hold all functions

  Hi, I want to create a visual basic code file that I can place all my functions in so that all my programs can use this one file instead of including the function in each webpage, etc...similar to a #include file for C++.  How do you do that in Visual Basic .NET You cannot do that and you don't really need to.

• .NET Development IIS And Impersonation - accessing file shares?

  hi all, i have two servers, one web server (called WS01) and a file server (FS01). I have a new drive on FS01 and i want to store my uploads to it. The problem is that the two servers are separated, they are located in the same place, and can see each other via private ip addresses but are not on a windows network together, so they dont share user accounts. I was testing the sites on our servers and discovered that i can't get into the storage on FS01 even using identity impersonate = true. I tried a workaround i found on ASP Alliance ( http://aspalliance.com/336 ) but cant get it to work i managed to create a virtual dir on ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) DockPanel Width Limited by Bitmap effect?

  Hi all, Ive been struggling to make a dockpanel component wider than around 900 pixels - im using one as a header on my application - it therefore needs to expand to fill the full width of the application. It seems to be limited by the application of a BitmapEffect drop shadow. For example with the followign code the dockpanel downt paint anywhere near 1700 pixels wide, but when i comment out the bitmap effect element the panel fills the width of the screen as it should. I really need the drop shadow though! I think this may be a bug in WPF. By the way - the Border is inside a Canvas.... <Border Width="1700" Margin="39, ...Show All

• SQL Server Error loading Oracle DATE data

  Hello. I'm trying to put in an SQL server database some data extracted from Oracle Server 9i. During the load process, the "OLE DB Destination" in the task chokes up when it finds a record containing the date '0197-01-01 00:00:00' (i got this by putting the error output to a column of type varchar(50)). I can't use the Condicional Split's date functions to filter this out because they also choke on the strange date. Can anyone give a sugestion Thanks in advance, Hugo Oliveira SQL will not recognize that as a date. Valid ranges for a datetime column are January 1, 1753, through December 31, 9999.

• Windows Forms how to minimize flickering when maximizing windows (form is being redrawn)

  i have used docking and Panel controls to correctly position various controls on the form and i am using pictures as background for my form how do i minimize the flickering when the window is maximized/minimized so that white flashes donot appear when the form is being redrawn.

• Visual Basic User session logon time!

  I am inquiring about information on whether it is possible to determine how long a user has been logged on for. What I hope to accomplish is to determine if a user has been logged on for more than an 24 hours and if so, display a splash screen of some type to tell them to log off. I don't want to log them off, politics involved. Every where I look I haven't been able to come up with a solution. I did find a sample script to check event logs, but how do you calculate the time the event was written and the actual time to determine if it is more than 24 hrs. Can anyone offer any help.
