• SQL Server SQl Server Management Studio Express problem

  I installed the softwaren and connected without problem to my SQL 2000 server. When I click on the SQL Server log and try to read it, nothing is displayed. Any ideas I can read the other database objects and security parameters without problems. Also, do I need the full version to manage backups, jobs, etc. That will work. Not a great solution since I am able to view the logs with SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How does one hook custom events into Xaml?

  I'm trying to implement a Data Binding layer to protect my UI from business logic dependencies. I'm using XAML to bind a control (TextBox in this case) to a datasource, which works just fine so far. However, the underlying datasource fires a custom event. The UI needs to catch this event and act on it (enable some controls). If I use code behind to register for the event and catch it, then I'm breaking the markup/code separation. How can I register for and catch a custom event strictly in XAML code Note1: Just to make it intgeresting, the event is a generic that derives from AsyncCompletedEventArgs Note2: The event w ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System User account access

  I'm trying to setup some users in TFS and have problems adding users based on an InetOrgPerson object. User objects seem to work properly. Here are the symtoms: 1) When an InetOrgPerson is added, its display does not include a user icon and domain prefix. A User account adds with a user icon and the domain prefix. 2) When trying to access the TFS server, various Invalid User errors popup. One in particular states something about Invalid Account. 3) If adding a Group object instead (the long-term prefered method), the display is correct, but the result is the same (probably at the point where TFS is trying to validate the user). Does TFS secu ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do you refresh data bound to a DataGridView

    This should be easy... but I don't know how to do it. I have created a DataSet that is bound to a DataGridView so that the DataGridView displays the data in my DataSet.  If my DataGridView is called dgvStudents, the following code DOES NOT do the job: dgvStudents.Refresh(); I can see the grid itself flash and refresh(), but the data behind the grid is not being refreshed, so new items in the database (added by another process) are not being displayed in the grid.
