• Windows Forms how to share icons between forms

  I have many forms which show the same icons on controls. At present each form has its own imagelist which means the icons are duplicated, which seems wasteful. Is there a way of sharing a common set of icons and still have them appear in the form designer I can assign them at runtime of course but I would like to see them at design time also. (sorry if this has been answered before - the search was not working). Best thing to do is use Lutz Roeders resourcer http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/ to add data to a resource file and use CType(resx.GetObject("MyIcon.ico"), System.Drawing.Icon) in code to retrieve i ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System No effect of "define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE 1"

  For the moment I want to suppress all the deprecated insecure functions during static code analysis.  I've added this line in two separate files that get included in all source files: #define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE 1 to no effect -- the output still contains warning of these functions.  A colleague has resorted to #pragma to supress these warnings.  I'm curious as to why this doesn't work as documented in the help. Thanks.

• Visual Basic DataAdapter & query

  kind of a 2 part question: I need to query on 3 parameters: i.e. Name AND <X AND >Y at one Table in the DataAdapter. In using the DataAdapter.SelectCommand approach I find that one can pass only 1 parameter. So I simply put 3 separate commands - - and this seems to work (when there is a match) though I haven't rigorously checked it. so part 1 - is this approach ok In this DB there can only result in 1 match or no match. part 2 where I'm stuck is that finding no match is a good thing for the user - but I get a ServerError message of Not non-Zero index....... I was hoping that by having a bound textbox/label to one fi ...Show All
