• Software Development for Windows Vista WF Virgin

  Dear One & All, As my subject says, I'm a WF Virgin. Having read many an article on the principles of WF, I'm keen to start developing with it.

• Windows Forms Custom displaymember and valuemember in a bound Combobox?

  I have created a form with a combobox that is bound to the database table field "State". The State field use numeric values 0,1,2,3,4 according to the state. The problem is that i don't want to show the exact same values it retrieves from DB, i rather want to display a list of possible "States", with custom text corresponding to the value. Example: The value 0 actually means "Stopped". So i want it to add the option "Stopped" (displaymember) in the list, with value 0. Whenever i select "Stopped" in the list and save the form, i want the value "0" to be saved in the database. How do i do this I k ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server CE 2.0 to SQL Server 2005 Express

  Hi All, I was wondering if it is physically possible to have an SQL Server CE 2.0 [or 3.0] connect to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition via RDA. And if it is, is this an officially supported scenario by Microsoft I haven't been able to find any official info on this issue. Is this documented somewhere on some MS pages Regarding synchronization I could only find out that Merge Replication works with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with it being only a subscriber but I found nothing about Remote Data Access synchronization with a SQL Server CE 2.0 or 3.0 Thanks, Marius   RDA and Merge Replicati ...Show All

• Visual Studio Supressing Solution Explorer Tree Expansion On Double Click

  We've created our own project type and have been modifying the behaviour of the solution explorer nodes by extending the HierarchyNode. What we'd like to do is to miminc the double click behaviour you see when you double click the properties node in a regular C# project. In that case when you double click the properties node the node does not expand, the properties editor is shown, and the focus in the solution explorer is set to the parent project node. Resetting the focus and calling up the appropriate editor is easy, but we cant seem to supress the tree from expanding. We did come up with a kind of hack solution where by we trap the doub ...Show All

• Visual C# Is C# the best language to learn/know?

  Hello, I am currently studying C#.  I presumed that C# is much better than VB.NET and so started studying it.  But it seems to me that most everyone related to microsoft is always pushing for VB.NET and not having much to say about C#, so what is going on   Id Est; - I now regularly catch the Dot NET Rocks radio show, which seems to be based, or at least biased toward VB.NET.  - I stumbled upon the VB.NET PDC05 disk online at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/pdc05/default.aspx which I was quite impressed with, so I thought I'd find the C# equivalent, to no avail.  Please let me know if there is one availa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio 2003 Remote Debug of DCOM Server

  I have the feeling I'm doing something stupid but I can't figure out what.  I'm trying to debug the client and server side of a DCOM com object with the client running on one system and the COM server running on another and I'm trying to debug them both from one debugger session. I have a C++ ATL based COM DLL server with DllSurrogate set so I can call it over DCOM and a C++ client program that calls CoCreateInstanceEx to instance up the COM object.  I run the client on 'HostA' and create the COM object on 'HostB'. I've got a drive (Z) mapped on both systems to the same share with the COM DLL project stored on that share (and ...Show All
