• Visual C# C# 2.0 doesn't allow me to use System.Void?

  I love generics in 2.0! What a time-saving feature, less code to write! Plus it allows for more code re-use, and thus fewer bugs. I love generics, pat on the back to Anders and the C# team. I ran into a limitation, however, with C# 2 compiler and generics. I wanted to implement a method that would have a generic return type, for instance: TReturn ExecuteSomeDelegate<TReturn>(MyReturnableDelegate<TReturn> serverMethodToExecute) {     // pretend there's lots of error catching & handling here...     return serverMethodToExecute(); }   This is all fine and dandy: // call some s ...Show All

• .NET Development Designed for Windows XP 64 ?

  Microsoft have a program for registering a product and then allowing the use of "Designed for Windows XP" logo by that product vendor. It seems that this is also open to products that run on Windows XP 64, but that there is no distinct logo for 64-bit. A product designed for Windows XP 64 or Windows 2003 64, may in fact be unable to run on 32-bit versions, so surely a seperate logo and designation exists So, is there in fact a logo: "Designed for Windows XP 64" or not Thanks Hugh Jochen is correct. There is a "Designed for Microsoft Windows XP x64 Edition" Logo. I would recommend the detailed document ...Show All

• SQL Server Fit To Page? or Force Page Breaks?

  Hello Using SRS2000 and SQL Server 2000, I have created a report with a graph and a matrix object as well as required headers/footers. The problem we are facing is that the matrix can grow larger than the page can support (graph takes up about 75% of the space between headers/footers) and will continue on the next page. Is there a way of forcing the graph and matrix to resize themselves to remain on a single page (ie, fit to page) If not, is it then possible to make the graph the exact size of the page and then force a page break and have the matrix on a second page (we would perfer not to have 2 page reports if possible).

• SQL Server Differences between MSDE and SSE2005

  Good Afternoon, Everyone. I know SSE2005 is built on Sql Server 2005 and MSDE was built on Sql Server 2000 so let's not start a thread discussing that. My question is more about the concurrency governor found in MSDE. I've heard people talking about the concurrency governor in MSDE being removed in SSE2005. Instead, performance is limited by the server configuration; one CPU, 1 GB RAM, and a maximum 4GB database. Can anyone confirm this What happens if the server has 2GB of RAM and/or dual processors Will SSE only utilize 1 GB and/or one of the processors Thanks for the help, Scott It will ignor ...Show All

• Windows Forms Binding Navigator Problem

  Hi, I was wondering how you see the code for the previous, first and delete buttons on the binding navigator. The reason being is I run my application and the user presses the + button which displays a new record but if they then press the previous or first record button the program crashes with an unhandled exception. This is because there are fields in the new record that are required. I have put in a try catch for the Save button click event as I can see the code when I double click the Save button. I can then handle the exception gracefully by displaying the error message to the user via a status strip label if fields are required ...Show All
