• Windows Forms MaskedTextBox and the Decimal Type

  Hello All, I'm hoping someone can help me with this one. I have a model object that represents a stock part. This part has a price. The price is stored on the database as type money. The price on the object is stored as type decimal. I have a binding source that has this object as it's datasource and it is bound to serveral controls on the stock part view. The bound control for the price is a MaskedTextBox. When I input a price, say 2.35, and tab out of the control it is stored properly in the object but the bound control displays 235.__ I have tried the following masks, none of which work... 999.00 ###.00 000.00 Can someone clue ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Are there any plans for typed XML data access?

  DLinq uses entity classes which can be generated from DB by SQLMetal. This allows typed access to data (you are not forced to use names in quotes and casting). This is great. But for XML there is no such possibility now. XLinq is much better than DOM but it is still untyped tree like DOM. This is disappointment for me. I would like to have possibility to treat XML in typed way (like XmlSerializer). Are there any plans for C# 3.0 or 4.0 to provide typed access (with LINQ pattern) to XML Ideally this should use W3C XML Schema mapping because XSD can define contract and Visual Studio offers IntelliSense and validation. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Slow Performance

  Hi,      Recently I experience a slow performance from Crystal Report. I just updated my VS2003 to latest VS2005 last week.  One of my reports was very slow to load since then. So I created a new small project. It only has one CR with 26 tables, 45 formula fields and several empty sub-reports on the main report. The attached codes show how I call my new Crystal Report.      First I set the text of all 45 formula fields. Then I changed table's logoninfo by using ApplyLogonInfo in a FOR-loop. Somehow it took 16 or 17 seconds to change all tables(26) connection at run-time. So I can see that ApplyLogOnInfo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions C# and application settings

  Hi all , I'm just starting to learn C# after learning a lot of Visual Basic. However, I have become a bit stuck! It's a really simple question but I really can't work it out.

Settings .Default.X //and RocksnGems.Properties. Settings .Default.Y to access the settings (RocksnGems is the default namespace for the project). I don't know if reading the variables in th ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro similiar fields

  Hi I'm trying to cross reference records from two different databases by first and last name. I can pull most the records (about 1500 out of 1700) on straight forward comparison of (a.firstname = b.firstname) and (a.lastname=b.lastname) as for the rest, is there a way to check if one name is similiar to another (in case of a typo, or mis-spelling of the name) Thanks, Mike Not an easy task as there could be many spellings, punctuation, etc. You could try SOUNDEX() although it only works for English expressions/names and has limited use at that. ...Show All
