• Windows Forms Is it Possible ObjectDataSource and datagridview

  I have an objectdatasource bound to a datagridview in a Windows forms app. The datasource object has a boolean field. I can load and display the data ok. If there are 20 are so rows and the AddRow row (*) is not visible  everything is ok. However if the addrow row comes into view or the mouse hovers over the boolean field then I get the error in the DataError event:  "System.FormatException: Formatted value of the cell has a wrong type".  I tried setting the CellStyle Null Value to false and 0. I tried setting the true and false values. I tried putting default values into the ObjectDataSource's constructor. I can't se ...Show All

• Visual Studio Input arguments for wizards

  Is there a way to retreive input arguments from within a wizard Possibly through a reference to a configuration service or something like that Basically, I just want a reference to the current project from within my wizard (using a custom wizard page).  I have a recipe argument with this value, but how do I access that from within the wizard Thanks!

• .NET Development Guidance on which versions are loaded into projects/GAC

  If I have both 32 and 64 bit versions of the framework on a machine, which version is in the gac which version will be used from within visual studio What version is used at runtime outside the VS environment Is there any general guidance on what which version is being run Thanks for any info! Can compile an dot net application for x86, x64, IA64, or any cpu. If the app is compilied for the x86 processor the app will always use the 32 bit framework. Anycpu will use the 64bit version of the framework if available. At run time you can tell if the app is 64bit by checking the intptr.size = 4 you are in 32 bit = 8 you are 64 ...Show All

• Visual Studio problems with OleUndoEngine

  I'm building a custom (form) designer using September CTP and I'm trying to implement undo/redo functionalities using the OleUndoEngine together with CodeDOMComponentSerializationService  as described in VS SDK. My designer uses the DesignSurface for designing controls and I added the CodeDOMComponentSerializationService to the designer host which I acquired from the design surface. Then I created an OleUndoEngine instance and passed the host as its service provider. The problem is that when I try to undo any action on my designer inside the VS, the StackOverflow exception is thrown without any further details. I would be grateful ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Checkout behavior on non-mergeable file types

  I understand that in general TFVC encourages concurrent development by defaulting a checkout to just marking the local version as editable.  However, IMO for non-mergeable files, TFVC should always do a get latest when checking out this type of file.  Since the file is not mergeable, allowing devs to checkout anything but the latest version is setting them up or a *bad* experience. It would also be very nice to have a command line switch on TF CHECKOUT to have it grab the latest first. We're received a lot of feedback on the behavior of not getting files on checkout.  W ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB6 App to query data remotely

  Hi to all, I have a VB6 app that can query/update/insert data successfully on an ACCESS database which can either reside on my pc or any other pc in the intranet. However, our company has another site in the same country but miles apart, so we're not connected by intranet. How can i make the database also accessible through internet such that my app can still carry out database transactions from the second site My idea is to set up a ftp drive that can be access from internet (with username and password) and have my app look for the database there. Question is not sure if it'll work and whats the code to look for the ftp drive and a ...Show All

• .NET Development Puzzling CAS Issue

  I have an application that uses remoting. I have strongly named every assembly in the application. I have granted FullTrust based on the key used for strongly naming. (I did this by creating a code group with the membership criteria being the public key that the assemblies are signed with.) I have done this on both the remote and local systems. This application can be run from a local disk (no problem), a remote disk (network share - big problem) and from a web page where it runs under IEEXEC (big problem) The local application is designed to connect to multiple and arbitrary servers.  I can connect to any server if I run from my loca ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to install a Debugger Visualizer for a C++ object in Visual Studio 2005?

  How to install a Debugger Visualizer for a C++ object in Visual Studio 2005 I could happily and successfully follow the tutorial for creating a Debugger Visualizer in Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 in C#. But there was no information about creating such in C++. How to do it What I mean by creating such in C++ is having an object in a C++ application visualised by a Debugger Visualizer (written in any language). Besides, I'm sure it's possible, becuase Debugger Visualizers is such a great invention and such a large step towards the future of programming, that it would be a terrible waste to not implement it  ...Show All
