• Windows Forms Best user interface control suite?

  The application I'm currently developing requires a very robust and user-friendly interface.  I know there are many third party control suites out there, but which one is the best for the money   I'm looking for a package that supports dockable toolbars and windows/containers, preferrably multiple color schemes, menus with icons, tab interfaces, etc. (pretty much the standards.)  I've looked at Infragistic's NetAdvantage, Actipro's UIStudio, QIOS DevSuite, DivElement's Sandbar and Sandock, etc. If anyone has personal experience with any number of these (or other) packages, please share your suggestions and preferences.

• SQL Server Is there a way to create a dynamic Insert on Stored Proc?

  Hi, I have more than 30 tables and I want to create just one SP for the Insert statement for all of my tables. Is there a way to do this or do i need to create one sp on every table for my Insert stmt. Thanks Does all the 30 tables have same number of column and column name If not, it is better to create one for each table. Even you can use Dynamic SQL to create the insert statement, you will still have to pass the values into the stored procedure. And you will have problem if different table has different number of columns. ...Show All

• Visual C# Transfer the value of a text box from one form to another.

  I want to be able to have the value of the text box in one form populate a text box in a second form when it opens.  Can anyone help me with this. It depends on the scenario of your application. The textbox1 control in Form1 is an field member of the Form1 class, if you want to have the value for the textbox from another form you have to expose the member field as a public (or internal) property so another class can access to it. Good luck, ...Show All

• SQL Server Execute a package on a remote server

The execute package task locally is not allowing me because i don't have a login permission i guess because i'm not on the same domain and my user account doesn't have the neccessary privelages to access the server. However i can execute sql statements and data flow tasks on the same server. Isn't it possible to use the login and password of the sql server in away or another to execute the package Thanks Thanks for your comments.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual Web Dev. - Creating a database

  I'm trying to figure out how to create an SQL Express database from within Visual Web Developer. The Data Explorer tab has a grayed-out entry for creating a new database, and Microsoft's VWD Express website explains that this can be done, but so far I haven't discovered how, even though I have installed both VWD express and SQL express, and they should be integrated together. Has anyone figured this out yet Since there is a grayed-out popup menu item for doing this- it must be possible. I've downloaded and installed the optional management tool for SQL Express, and have used it, and I wonder if there are any security issues involved in the i ...Show All
