• Windows Forms How do I get the table to accept input into a form written via a program.

  If I write to a text box via a program, the table attached to the form is not updated until I navigate to the next form record. Presumably the Form locator.position change accepts and confirms the value to the table.   The Data Table is not linked to a SQL database or MS Access but I read and write to it from text files so I can not to an sql COMMIT.   On occasion, the field will display the value sent but the underlying table ignores it. So I need an “Enter” like event to commit or confirm it in the table.   John Spencer wrote: Remco, Don't worry if you can not help here but I took a look at your s ...Show All

• Visual C++ Draft: How to rebuild the 8.0 CRT Library for use on NT 4.0 SP6

  DRAFT 0.2 - comments welcome  HOW TO REBUILD THE 8.0 CRT LIBRARY FOR USE ON NT 4.0 SP6 The shipping 8.0 C Runtime Library DLL (MSVCR80.DLL) does not support NT 4.0 SP6 for one reason and one reason only: someone at Microsoft added a function call to GetLongPathNameW which does not exist in kernel32.dll on NT 4.0.  You cannot delayload the CRT, therefore there's no way around it.  In order to run on NT 4.0, you must rebuild the MSVCR80.DLL to remove this reference.   Fortunately, very little work needs to be done to rebuild the 8.0 C Runtime Library DLL to support NT 4.0 SP6.  First, let's identify th ...Show All

• SQL Server PivotTable Total from Database

  hi, i'm trying to create a PivotTable in which I will be able to see totals coming from the database, not a calculated total field performed by the PivotTable. The data are structured with a hierarchical dimension for wich values are existing for each low level detail item and also for the high level detail item. Is it possible to create a PivotTable based on a ROLAP(with SQL query) access that provide this kind of result (with total from the database). For example, with the following table of data, I want to produced a PivotTable with 2 columns (E1Dim2 and E2Dim2 values) and 2 rows (E1Dim1 and E2Dim1 values). The PivotTa ...Show All

• Visual C# BackgroundWorker and SHGetFileInfo

  The SHGetFileInfo function sometimes does not give the appropriate icon when called from by a BackgroundWorker. As far as I have been able to ascertain you get the correct Icon back as long as the Icon is static for a file type. That is, the Icons for .txt, .doc, etc. are the same no matter which file it is. But the Icon for files/shortcuts with the extension .url or .sln (if you have VS 2005 installed) will have Icons which depend on file and for these files SHGetFileInfo returns does not return the appropriate Icon instead it returns the default Icon for a file (the icon that is used when Windows does not know the extension type). ...Show All

  Hi, First, I want to host over 50 different services each with a seperate interface, how can i do that in WCF using the same endpoint and the same service host. Second, can a service dynamically add a service to be hosted, for example lets say i have created a new service is there a way i can dynamically host this service without recompiling the service host code. You can host services dynamically. I do this currently with a Peer channel binding, but it works with any of the bindings as well. You can configure as many services as you like to the same endpoint.
