• Visual Studio Team System Useless output from TFS source control

• Windows Forms Show short filename in DataGrid column

  Hello, In a table of my database, I have a field which represents the full name of a file. Actually, I bound this field to a column of my DataGrid. I would show the short name vs the full name. Does anyone know how I can do it without inherits the DataGridColumnStyle I wanted to use something like the Format event existing in some controls. I didn't find it in DataGrid, so... Thanks in advance for your reply. The DataGrid does not have any real-time formatting options that can provide what you are looking for. The best you can do is to create a custom column style where you perform your own "short file n ...Show All

• Visual Studio Clearing Report Parameters

  Using VS 2005 B2 and C#. I'm attempting to display two reports, allowing the user to switch between them.  One report has a parameter, the other doesn't.  When I attempt to display the "no parameter" report after I display the "parameter" report, I get an error that I'm trying to set a parameter that doesn't exist in my report.  (Makes sense.) I've tried clearing the parameters with: myReportViewer .LocalReport.SetParameters(null); // throws an exception. myparams = new Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms. ReportParameter [0]; myReportViewer .LocalReport.SetParameters(myparams); // still get an error I guess I could create a R ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How do you reload a form

  Hi all, I know this is proberbly a really basic question but how do you reload a form, I'm need to put some code in a catch - end try block that will reload the form or allow the user to re enter a value in textbox2. The best way to do validation is to handle the leave event of the text box, and tell the user right away that they need to make a correction. You can also make changes to a textbox so it only accepts certain input, or use a maskedtextbox, if you're in VS2005. How do you mean reload Do you mean to restore it to it's initial state, or is your code throwing an exception If your text box ...Show All

• Smart Device Development GPS Sample Latitude/Longitude not correct

  I have a Pharos GPS unit with both the Blue Tooth and USB interface. I used hypertermal on a XP machine with the USB interface to record some raw GPS output. Then I used the file redirect to run the GPS WM5.0 Sample code in VS2005 WM5.0 device emulator. It displays the correct information on the screen Lat 42 / lon 83 when reading the raw GPS data file that I created. When I move the program to my WM 5.0 device and connect up to the GPS unit over BT, I get strange readings for the lat/lon. Lat 0d 42' 24.36 Lon 0d 83' 28.65. They look shifted right. What is degrees show up in the minutes. The number of satellites and time are correc ...Show All

• Visual C# Why are some method names prefixed with a '_'?

  Why are some method names prefixed with a '_' I understand that this is a naming convention but what is it supposed to represent void _createSearchFolderMenu_Click( Microsoft.Office.Core. CommandBarButton Ctrl , ref bool CancelDefault ) Thanks in advance, Dave Normally you shouldn't start a name with an underscore. In some languages that is reserved for compiler-defined symbols. In the case of autogenerated event handlers though it should simply take the name of the control and append the event name. Therefore it would appear that you have a control called _createSearchFolderMenu and you are hand ...Show All
