• Visual C# How to convert 2003 win from code to 2005 with partial?

  Hi, all. I have a window application written by VS.NET 2003. I opened it with VS.NET 2005 and convert the app. However it doesn't convert the structure of each class code. I like the seperated classes intruduced in VS.NET2005, which seperates form design code from custome code. Is there any tool or way to convert my old 2003 style form coding to 2005 style code seperating design and custome codes Unfortunately, there ...Show All

• Visual C# How to pass in one value and return 2 more?

  Hello, I am not sure what the best approach is to this, so any of you who have much more experience might be able to tell me how best to handle this. I have a form that has text fields for City, State, Zip. When the user types in a zip code and tabs off of the field it will auto populate the remaining fields. For example if a user types in 90210, it passes the zip code to a method which runs a SQL query to pull the city, state (Beverly Hil ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Querying and late bound data providers

  Hi Normally in the projects I work on we use a strict provider based architecture for accessing data. Obviously this is done to avoid having any nasty database or XML or something else dependancies in the logic of the program. The problem on the other hand is that querying such data stores must also be part of the provider meaning that all possible ways of querying data must be covered by the provider which obviously isn't feasible. Now I was ...Show All
