Gents - I have a DataSet with a Parent / Child relation. On Form1 I have a DGV that is bound to the details (child) portion of the relation (tblInventoryTransBindingSource).

.NET Development .Net Framework, compiled or translated?
Sorry but I have this basic question, is about plataform .NET Framework, I'd like to know if the final result is a machine compiled code compatible with .NET FW or is a .NET FW code to be translated in runtime as with Java . Too, I'd like to know about the same but with C# and Basic. We know that pure C++ code is optimized machine code, but how works C# or Basic about this . Thanks. Hi, The .NET compilers convert the code to MSIL - Microsoft Intermediate Language which is something similar to Java bytecodes. This is then converted to machine language by the JIT Compiler at runtime. Read more here . You can ...Show All

Visual Studio Team System Branching and Merging: Best practice
Hello, I'm trying to design a new directory structure for a large project which is migrating from using Visual SourceSafe to Microsoft Team System for Source Control. I guess my problem is the following: I'm used to CVS, and to how CVS manages branches and merges. As to what I have understood, the only way of creating branches is to select "branch" in the Team System Explorer and to create a new branch directory. That would be fine with me, but now, the problem arises: How can I accomplish that my new branch is downloaded into the same directory as the trunk (main branch) This is needed most of the time, as it is not possible ...Show All
Visual C++ using ATL macro to change LPSTR to LPCWSTR
Hello, I'm making a 3D game and realized I would have to face many problems and maybe trying to "reinvent the wheel" on my own, if I wanted to implement SETTINGS -(for graphics mode) in my game. So I am going for DXUT framework or engine by Dx team or what it is called to simplify my life. But I am facing some problems, because it is using UNICODE and I need to change LPSTR to LPCWSTR so I use macro A2W(lpstr) and include this for it #include <AtlBase.h> #include <AtlConv.h> But then I have a compile error: fatal error C1189:#error : Need to include strsafe.h after tchar.h bec ...Show All

SQL Server Dynamic age of customer based on transactions being viewed
Hi I am after some ideas on how to deal with customer ages and dynamically linking them to transactions. For example if I purchased something 2 years ago I would be obviously 2 years younger then now but if I have age as a standard dimension all of my purchases would be tied to my current age, assuming age is updated and overwritten. The ideas I have are a slow changing dimension which means that I would have a new entry per customer's birthdate or somehow tie the age calculation to the transaction date. The reason I want this is that the purchasing decisions of say a 20 year old are different than a 25 year old for us. Anyone dealt with ...Show All
Visual Studio Team System WebTest Broken in Experimental Hive with Team Explorer
It seems that installing the latest version of Team Explorer (TFS BETA 3) will break WebTests - you cannot run them anymore.

This is the installation order: 1) Install VS Team System RC1. 2) Install VS SDK (Sept - latest) 3) Install Team Explorer (but don't connect to any TFS).

Visual C++ Need to GetDriveType(), BUT...
I have a very large VC++ .NET (2003) program I've spent months writing. I need to use the GetDriveType() function, which seems to require #including windows.h.
