Windows Forms MaskedTextBox / TextBox (maximum number of chars event) ?
Hello, I have several forms that use TextBoxes/MakedText boxes for the user input. Both of them only accept a maximum number of chars.

Visual C# A problem about binary file source safe versioning
Does anyone of you ever try to check in your binary files for versioning We have this habit since the day when we work on VB projects. Since COM versioning is very important, we have very clear habit to keep different versions of the DLLs. Now in .net, with VS.NET 2003, we realize there is a very strange behaviour which prevents binary files checking from working properly. Lets say, we have 3 projects: ClassLibrary1, ClassLibrary2, WindowsApplication1 -->: reference ClassLibrary2 --> ClassLibrary1 WindowsApplication1 --> ClassLibrary1, ClassLibrary2 When I have checked out all WindowsApplication1 binary files, while leaving ClassLib ...Show All

However this does not work: StringBuilder ^str; f1(str); How is this achived Thanks in advance. I did it the same way. Other folks on the forum might be able to suggest other ways if possible.

Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Remove Window Border Completely
Is there anyway to completely remove a Window object's border If I set the Window.WindowStyle = WindowStyle.None, there is still a "border" around the window which is rather annoying. Thank you, Jaco I am having another issue with all this. I am making a custom-draw window in which I manage all the border drawing and window resizing, etc. So to achieve removing the "standard" window border, I set WindowStyle.None. This of course leaves a bevelled border in XP. I t seems that setting either AllowsTransparency=True or ResizeMode=NoResize will get rid of that bevelled border. ...Show All

SQL Server Converting an Access database
Converting an Access database I uninstalled sqlserver2005 express and reinstalled sqlserver2005 ctp. Now, everything is in order.

SQL Server Replication vs. DTS
I am unsure whether to use a DTS package or Replication for the following: We have four SQL Server databases on four separate servers with the same data schema, one for the north east, south west, mid atlantic, and mid west. We also have one "global" database on a separate server. First, and only this one time, we need to copy data from the four regional databases to the global database. Then, at least once a day we will need to copy changed and new data from the four regional SQL databases to the global database. I have researched DTS and Replication and am unsure how to proceed. DTS doesn't seem to have a mechanism to copy ...Show All
