• .NET Development Null Value exception thrown, need to change default action

  Migrating a legacy Access VB6 app to VS 2005 B2, the old app handles null's read from ADO recordsets in its own way. The migrated code using a dataset is suffering from exceptions that the generated dataset code throws. I need to be able to reset the default action to either ignore or replace etc. This is an option for the field in the dataset (codegen etc). However I would like to do it once for the entire dataset (30+ tables of 20 columns and n assorted queries etc). Doing this by hand for each field is a real pain. Is there a way to change the default null handling option from throw exception to anything else, when initially gen ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL 2005 - sp_rename doesn't work on user defined data types

  First a little intro, the company I work for relies heavily on user defined data types for the object model we have set up. This gave us maximum flexibility to for example easily extend descriptions to a varchar(50) instead of a varchar(40) when a customer required this. The process of changing the datatype is first we rename the datatype to have a new name, and afterwards the new datatype is rebound to all tables, stored procedures etc... however, in SQL 2005, one of the first steps, namely renaming the datatype fails, in fact it appears you can no longer rename user defined datatypes if they are used within stored procedures.

• Smart Device Development Smart device help installed correctly?

  I have VS2005 installed with WM 2003 and 5.0 SDKs. I am able to build and debug for both sets of platforms although I have just noted that the Windows Mobile SDKs are NOT listed in the results of any searches that I do. E.g., if I search for "SetWindowText" a general win32 API, the WM APIs do not appear only the desktop win32 type. Also, the VM 2003 SDKs appear in the contents but the VM 5.0 SDKs do not. My question is: are the VM 5.0 SDKs supposed to be viewable and searchable in VS2005 Beta 2 ... and so why might they do be appearing in my installation The help for the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK, is inst ...Show All

• Smart Device Development VS 2005 seems to require a focus on a form

  When developing my vb program in vs 2003, I was apparently not required to focus on anything on a form if I didn't want to. So on a form with nothing but a few buttons used for the purpose of calling other forms, I could use this code to press ESC and close the form: Private Sub LocMenu_KeyDown( ByVal sender As Object , _ ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase .KeyDown If e.KeyCode = Keys.Escape Then Me .Close() End If End Sub Someone helped me write this code, and I don't understand the implications of "MyBase", but in any case, I could press simply press ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions VC++ 2005 Express - for each loop

  Hi everyone! I'm kinda newcomer, thus I've quickly encountered a problem which I can't solve in the 'elegant' way. The problem is how to iterate the collection of various types of controls (controls conteiner) and operate only on a specific controls type. I'm not sure if I've made myself clear, so here's a code which doesn't work: for each( Windows::Forms::NumericUpDown^ ctrl in this->tableLayoutPanel->Controls ) xmlwriter->WriteElementString(ctrl->Name, ctrl->Value.ToString() ); tableLayoutPanel contains NumericUpDown and Labels (which couses all the problem here) type controls. I want to ...Show All

• .NET Development A Question on GC

  I have a MDI program in which user can open different document and edit it. After several user use it, they report that it becomes more and more slow. So I watch the memory usage of it carefully and found a problem : it seems the memory is never released after a document is closed. I watch the memory cost in Tesk Manager, and found that whenever a document is opened, the memory cost increases. However, after the document is closed, the memory cost does not drop. When another document is opened, it cost more memory. I later realize that since the document is opened for a while, the objects it allocated have been moved to Generation 2. So ...Show All
