• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) LINQ and SQL Server Permissions

  Hi, I have one reservation about jumping into LINQ for an enterprise application: Security. It seems (and correct me if im wrong) that to be able to use DLinq to perform insert/updates on the database, you would have to allow the database user you connect as, to have insert/update permissions on the tables in the database. This is not considered good practise at the company I work for, where we only give the user execute permissions for stored procedures (Obviously to prevent attacks like SQL Injection). I know one way around this is to override the default insert/update actions in DLinq to use stored procedures, but this takes away th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Compiling

  Hi, I recently downloaded the Visual Studio Express Edition, and I am unable to compile the file to run it, or at least I do not know how to use the file once created. I was wondering how I would test out a program/file once it is debugged. Thanks everyone for the help! Can you describe more what you are doing and your expected results To compile an application you will need to load it as a project, build it and then run it. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Dynamic Data Entry Control

  Hi We are going to migrate a VB application to Windows Forms. The current application uses DataView Control from Green Tree. This is a kind of dynamic data entry control. We can specify the field type (Text Box, Check Box etc), data source (Table, column name etc), and positioning (width, height etc) and then, the control will generate all fields durin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Deleting Corrupt Team Project

  I initially could not create a new team project because I was not a member of the local administrators group on the team foundation server (single server environment). Once this was corrected I deleted the failed projects via DeleteTeamProject /force <projectname>.  At this point they do not show up in the Team Explorer.   Next I try to re-create the project and the process fails with "Microsoft.Pcw.currituck" failed with error: "Initialization Failed: Project <Project> already exists on server <Server>".   Rerunning DeleteTeamProject again will say something to the effect of "no project found" ...Show All

• Windows Forms text box with gradient backcolor

  Does anybody know a way to create a text box whose background is painted with LinearGradientBrush. As much as I figured, text box never raises Paint event. I created a button with transparent background (inhereted from Button and style set to SupportsTransparentBackColor), and when I combine it with a panel painted with LinearGradientBrush I get the effect I need.  B ...Show All

• Visual Basic Which Control did I RightClick on?

  hi all... Is it possible to find out which control a user rightclicked on and show the name of the control in a messagebox For example I have three buttons on a form and a contextmenu that is used in common with all the buttons. When a user rightclicks on a button the context menu is shown. Kind of like the "Whats This" menu in MS Apps. So instead of writing a rightclick event for all of the controls on the form, I thought that if I could find the name of the control that the user rightclicked on to open to context menu, I could show the appropriate response. Is there a way to find if a coordinate of the mouse click falls ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Test projects and private/protected members...

  I watched a Channel 9 video showing some Team System stuff and they included showing off unit testing. When the speaker was asked about private and protected members, he said they had something for him, but he never actually said what it was. How is this possible I don't want to have to make methods public and wrap a property around every field just for testing. This blog could help: The inner works of private method testing in VS Team System ...Show All

  I have updated some of the samples to .NET Framework 3.0 Beta 2. http://www.valil.com/winfx Great! I was just trying to demo your chess app to somebody yesterday. More people should provide XBAP or .Application versions of their apps/samples.

If you have access to NETCF V2 (via beta2 or a CTP), you can use the new COM/interop feature(s) to use COM objects directly from managed code. -Chris Already ...Show All
