• Windows Forms VB2005 - Listview Column Sort

  I'm having a problem that is cited fairly commonly on the net. I've tried various solutions and all of them have the same problem. I'm trying to do a column sort. String variables sort nicely. However variables that are integer variables don't sort at all. The order is very messed up. There is some sorting but not based in the full magnitude of the sorted integers. Can anyone help me with this. I've tried several ways of doing this, beginning with MSDN examples and they all have the same failing. Hello, plz could you tell me how can i get the selected item in a listview (multiselect disabled) i wanna use it on an other form (form2)... ...Show All

• SQL Server System.Transactions / SqlClient bug?

  Hi, I've been doing some work with nested TransactionScope classes and timeouts and I'm getting some strange results that I can't quite explain.  I'm hoping that I've done something foolish in my code, since that will be by far the easiest fix :) The scenario is that I have a stored procedure that may block indefinately (arguably not great, but it's outside of my control) - in the example below, it does a simple "waitfor" to pause for 3 seconds.  There is a intermediate data layer between my application code and the database that wraps all database calls in a TransactionScope (essentially the ExecCommand method in the exampl ...Show All

How do I write a custom action to do this I haven't been able to find a good example when looking through the threads... Thanks! You could do this by adding a row to the RemoveFile table of your msi, with the InstallMOde column set to 2 (msidbRemoveFileInstallModeOnRemove).

• Visual Studio Express Editions Colomnwidth in DataGridView

  Hi, In a DataGridView I have set the DataGridViewAutoColumnMode to AllCells, which works fine. But I want the possibility to change the columnwidth once the program runs, after the data have been loaded. I can't get this done. The width of the columns are locked and cannot be changed by using the mouse. I set the DataGridView.AutoSize to False (after loading the data), but that did not work. I set the DataGridView.AutoSizeColumnsMode to None (after loading the data). The last thing I tried was to set the DataGridView.AllowUserToResizeColumns to True, but none of these things were te correct way to get what I want. Can somone help me what ...Show All

For example, you can have column of check box cells and have other cell types, like a button, in the same column Since this is exactly what I needed, I started searching for documentation and examples.

• Software Development for Windows Vista ICredentialProvider

And what worse - after 20 or 30 seconds, the winlogon crashes completely with no recovery possible excepting hardware reset. I thought I basically did something wrong and decided to wait for more detailed documentation or some sample code. But MS doesn't seem to put too much effort on improving their SDK documentation and I also found that at least one other programmer has the same problem: http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx query=vista&dg=microsoft. ...Show All
