• Windows Forms Bug in DataGridView or example by Mark Rideout

  Mark, Thanks for your samples at http://www.windowsforms.net/TrackViews.aspx ID=220&Type=Samples&Redir=%2fSamples%2fdownload.aspx%3fPageId%3d1%26ItemId%3d220%26tabindex%3d4 . Your sample on Virtual Mode crashes. Just start it, click in the new row, type something, hit escape twice, and then maybe you have to type again. I saw another post where you state that there is a bug inDataGridView associated with the user hitting Escape twice. How about working around the bug in your sample Or is this a different bug, since it has nothing to do with the first column being hidden (which it is not) For the record, I am having a very d ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions what data type to use for username and passwords?

  hi i'm making a school project, where i need to make a database that holds the usual information like ID, name, address etc. it also has to hold on to usernames and passwords. i'm confused on what datatype i should use, and is there a way to enforce unique usernames thanks User names and passwords are just strings like any other, so you would use the same column type as for other strings. It depends what database you're using as to what that is. As for making the username unique, normally you would use the user name as the primary key and not have an ID, which would enforce that it was unique. The only reason ...Show All

  Hi everyone Does anyone know how to create a popup control that can contain other controls which looks and behaves much like the smart tag window for controls in the vs2005 designer.

• .NET Development Getting data from a website

  Hi, I'm looking for an application thats capable of stripping data from websites (Real Estate) with a structure. I also want that data stored in a database. I have seen one in Holland that's scanning the structured Real Estate websites. Does anybody knows where to find an apllication like this With regards, Bram Swaneveld You'd be lucky if WebSite you are accessing is capable to return you data in the XML form. In this case parsing is simple. This is exactly the scenario for what XML was introduced at the beginning.

• Smart Device Development Do any communication libraries exsist in the CF?

  Does any of the .NET TCP/IP classes exsist in the .NET Compact Framework (1 or 2) I want to mess around with some NNTP stuff (Where I was using a regular C# class for reference) and it uses these. Are there any networking protocals in the CF Thanks! Easiest is to add a reference to all the netcf assemblies and then let intellisense be your guide. I would not trust the documentation at this beta stage but it will have good clues (msdn library at msdn2). Also look at the Object Browser which in VS2005 has additional filtering.
