  Hi All, I am now developing an application and I need to use thread that will execute functions which will update the datagrid. What that function does is actually checks or monitor whether there is any files in a specified directory that has been changed. If there is then read the all the files in the specified directory again and update a datagr ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSHPROPID_ParentHierarchyItemid?

  Hi, my project system is based on native C++ and the hierutil library. I have a situation where if I select more than one item in my project hierarchy an assert gets fired in hu_archy.cpp on a request for the above property. The assert is fired because the item id given to the hierarchy GetProperty call is not VSITEMID_ROOT (it's actually one of the nodes selected). I've tried reproducing this with FigPkgs or BscPrj but with these projects the request for the property is never actually made. Clearly something specific to my project system is causing the problem, but I'm not sure what. Can someone with access to the VS sources tell me what ...Show All

• Visual Basic Validating within a User Class

  I need to populate a container with an indeterminate number of label/textbox pairs for input. Since it is indeterminate at design time, I thought I'd create a user class with both a label and at text box in a pair so I could create them at run time and populate the labels appropriately from a data file. I need to validate each text box for numeric value. Then, I need to use that value to build up a subtotal on the form...sort of like this: Account Amount 1-1100 37.00 2-0000 90.00 .... Total 127.00 Can I code a validation event handler into the class at design time I know I can use the same handler for all the instances ...Show All

• SQL Server Step by step for Indirect configuration

  Is there a good step by step guide to setting up an indirect configuration I've followed the steps in Kirk Haselden's 'Keep your packages in the dark' article 3 or 4 times this afternoon and nothing seems to work.

• Visual C# How to cast a jagged array to a rectangular array

• Visual C++ what dose that mean?

There are 'argc' elements in this array. Say you have a program call myp ...Show All
