• Windows Forms EditMode.EditProgrammatically

  With EditMode.EditProgrammatically according to the VS2005 documentation (RTM):    Editing begins only when the BeginEdit method is called. This doesn't appear to be the case. I have a DataGridView bound to a collection of business objects that inherit from a business object base class which implements IEditableObject. If I have the DataGridView.EditMode set EditProgrammatically I would have expected that I would be responsible for calling "BeginEdit". However merely selecting the row will cause the EndEdit() method to be called. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong Regards, Doug Holland ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Oracle persistence service ?

  I believe a SQL Server persistence service is being supplied out of the box. Are there any plans to provide an Oracle persistence service, or will this be left as "an excercise for the reader" (or 3rd party vendors...). We're not planning to provide an Oracle persistence service with the Windows Workflow Foundation runtime at this time.  So I guess you could say that it's an "excercise left for the reader".  There is a sample persistence service for the file system in the SDK.  You could certainly use it as a starting point for an Oracle persistence service: http://winfx.msdn.microsoft.c ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How do change the custom rules of FxCop1.312 to v1.32

  Hi  Can yuo pls give me some sample custom rules of FxCop 1.32 and some ideas about how to modify the custom rules of FxCop 1.312 to work in FxCop 1.32 Thanks in advance, Arun M As mentioned by others, this information is found in the 1.32 readme. There are many examples of custom rules out there, a good first place to start is the user downloads area of www.gotdotnet.com. 1) Change all Microsoft.Tools.FxCop.Sdk namespace usage to Microsoft.FxCop.Sdk 2) The LongDescription XML node is gone, use <Description> only 3) The GroupOwner and DevOwner nodes have been collapsed into a single node, renamed <Owner> 4) ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Express with Advanced Services - what Reporting Features does it have?

  I work for an ISV, and some of our customers use SQL Server, others use SQL Server Express. I need to develop some reports, so I was happy to read that SQL Express with Advanced Services would have some (limited ) Reporting Services available. Unfortunately, the sign-up period to beta test appears to be over, and so I am left wondering exactly what functions will be available. Is there anyone out there who has played around with the beta version reporting functions The RS features that are included with Express Advanced are described here: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/technologies/reporting/rsfeatures.mspx ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Generated WSDL doesn't reflect the security binding

  I'm performing the following test scenario: 1. Manually edit a WSDL file to change the policy settings, namely change the EncryptedParts and the AlgorithmSuite 2. Load this WSDL, get the Binding (via the ServiceEnpoint) and add a new ServiceEndPoint to the host 3. View the generated automatically generated WSDL at (http://... wsdl) According to my observations, the generated WSDL doesn't reflect the original WSDL. For example, if I change the AlgorithmSuite to Basic128 in the original file, I always get Basic256 on the generated file. I've observed the Binding object (obtained via the loaded WSDL) and the SymmetricSecurityBindingElement has ...Show All

• Windows Forms create button shortcut

  I read that you can create a button shortcut by preceding the button text with an &. I did that and indeed the character is underlined in the design view. The underline doesn't show up in runtime nor will &<letter> cause anything but the menu to activate for keyboard navigation. How do I create a shortcut for a button and get the button to respond to the shortcut> Thanks, /jerry Typically, the underline won't show up at run time until you press the ALT key.
