• Windows Forms Help! Primary Key/Foreign Key not being added to my database?

  I'm stumped. I have Parent/Child (i.e. Master/Detail) Form. The form is layed out using textboxes as opposed to a Datagrid. I have created everything using the Visual Studio Designer. When I run the form, everything works as it should! My Primary Keys and Foreign Keys are generated and I can see them. However, when I go to look at my database (MS Access) all the fields & records are listed except the Primary Key in the Parent Table and the Foreign Key in the Child Table They are just blank. Note: I have all my relationships setup via Visual Studio Dataset designer, currently I have removed all relationships and Keys from my Access ...Show All

• .NET Development Shortcut to application launches windows installer repair program

  On my Windows Installation project, I have a registry entry - to have the program run at startup - that's set during the install process. In my application, user can opt to have this feature turned off (the program will then delete this registry entry). However, when that's done, the next time user launches the program through the shortcut item, the windows installer repair is launched. This however is not happening when they launch the program directly (by launching the .exe file) So I know where it all occured, just not sure how to fix it (to make the shortcut ignore the existance of this registry entry.

• Visual C# Deciding whether 2 images are similar(not the same)?

  Hi everybody, I was given this idea for an application. The idea behind it is the following. You load one image, then the applications "slices" the image into small regions and compares each small region with another big picture from the same folder. If the small region is similar to another big picture from the sam forlder, the application replaces the the small region of pixels from the initial image, and puts small thumbnail of the big(similar) picture. It is like creating one big picture with small ones. Maybe you have seen the 2pac's clip of Changes, where his face is created of many small tv sets. The same shoul ...Show All

• Visual C# Getting information about file extension handler aplication

  I want to get information about the application that is registered with Windows for handling a particular file extension. In the application I'm developing, users can attach different files which they want to view later on demand. I don't know in advance which type of files they might attach. So, I want to get infromation from Windows about the application registered for handling a particular type of file. Once I get this information, I'll be starting that application with instructions to open the file the user is interested in. I guess this can be done thru Windows API. Any ideas See FindExecutable function: http://msdn.micro ...Show All

• SQL Server Print Preview pagination for multipage data in single text box

  I have a tried two different reports one with table and the other without The last textbox in both reports contains enough text which should fill half of first page and half of second page. In both reports the print preview and export to PDF keeps the first page blank and puts all the data in the second page. It appears that the textbox control doesn't know when to place a pagebreak when in print preview and export to PDF. The rdl file has no pagebreaks defined anywhere. Thanks in advance for your help!   There is an implicit keeptogether on the text box. Only when the text box cannot ...Show All

• Visual C++ need english

  Getting ready to work on another lab for school and I'm having trouble understanding the lab. This is the program they want me to write: Write a program that declares two twenty-element, one-dimensional integer arrays. Your program should fill these arrays with random numbers by calling a function called Fill_It. You will call Fill_It twice, once for each array, and ask the user to enter two different seed values. Fill_It needs to have a seed value, and low and high range values, and all three integers should be passed to it along with the array. Fill_It will use the seed for srand and then fill the arrays with values between the low and hig ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF is going be absent in First Vista Release

  Hello all, I am reading on some news groups that WPF is not going to be there in initial release of windows vista. Does anyone knows more about it I cannot imagine vista without WPF. Any thoughts from experts Thanks Basav Until it is final, it is not final. That said, the last I heard (At the Mobility group partner briefing this week), is that WPF will be on the Vista CD, but will be an optional component that the user must select to install. It will not be installed by default. This is largely because the WPF and WCF components install together, and WCF has a large security surface. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Browsing in global objects

  I need to create an application that will simulate the operation of a larger, native application for the purpose of creating a managed application that will communicate with it. Anyway, I have started a Windows Forms project and I need to add an unmanaged class to it. I could not instantiate an unmanaged class within a managed class (the compiler gave me an error) so I created a global instance. So far the problem with that is that when debugging I cannot browse the unmanaged instance - the watch thinks the object is out of scope. Is there any way around that Thanks! Kamen Maybe I am not being very clear. Let me provide some code. ...Show All
