• Windows Forms Setting Datagridview Styles Dynamically

  Hi, As part of my learning of VB express I am stuck at the moment on setting the datagridview styles dynamically. I can change the default formatting colours etc but what I would like to do is change the colour of a complete row based upon the value of a given cell within that row. I have in my datagridview a number of rows where one row has a cell with the value 10. I would like to paint this row's background red to highlight it from the rest. I have tried many ways of doing this but without the required result. I have used the .rowprepaint and .rowpostpaint events Any help would be very welcome   # Re ...Show All

• Visual C++ Use of nonstandard file extensions in the IDE. Not behaving the same as .cpp files.

  I have Visual Studio 2005, Professional Edition. I wish to use non standard file extensions in Visual Studio 2005. Specifically we are using “.cp” not “.cpp”. I am able to compile by doing the three steps below, but the “Scope” and “Function in ‘scope’” dropdowns are showing “Unknown Scope” and “” respectively. These dropdowns are part of the document just under the tabs showing the open documents. Any assistance on populating these scope and function dropdowns will be greatly appreciated.

• Visual C# Windows Service that watches the keyboard

  Hi there, I have a working windows application which implements a global-system-hook-class to watch the keyboard and log the pressed keys. The statistics are used for language analysis. In order to automate this process a little bit more, I want to write a windows service which does the same monitoring. I worked with servies before, but last time, I used a timer, because the service was supposed to work in a certain interval. This time, I want the service to work permanent. My windows application instanciates the globalHookClass, registers the conserning event and then listens for the keys; system wide! How can something like this b ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System New Team Build Type Creation Wizard fails

  Here's the situation...    I initially created a team build type using the "New Team Build Type Creation Wizard" which didn't work out quite right.  Deciding to try again, I deleted the build type and wanted to start over. In which case I have no build types showing. Bad idea.  Cause now I can't create a new build type.   Here are the steps I'm using to create a new build type... 1) From the VS menu.... Build --> New Build Type 2) From the wizard ... Enter a build name, and description. Click next. 3) Now it shows the "Select and order solutions to build."  This is where the problem is.  I ...Show All

  Using the System.Data namespace, and in memory DataTables. I have two tables. DataTable enumTable; DataTable dataTable; typesTable has two columns, "id", "string_name". dataTable has two columns, "id", "type". dataTable.type is foreign key into the typesTable.
