• Windows Forms Datagrid Automatic Row Adding

  At the bottom of the datagrid, in the leftmost  column there is an asterisk (*) which refers to a record that has not been added to the grid yet. But it does not seem to appear unless the grid has at least one row of data. Is there a way to make this visible when there are no records I'm trying to prevent the need to have an "Add" button. When the grid has no data, a single empty row should show up. Does it not It may not have the asterisk in it but it is editable... ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Why will LINQ fail ?

  Microsoft tries to helping object developers to close the gap between the relational world and the object world.And they call this " object modelling approach " Dlinq. Using " custom business entities " in enterprise programming with Dlinq might seem the best thing after " sliced bread " but it isn't. For my part I have written my Mappers and used commercial OR/M tools. They mostly provide the same thing. __Read the table from the database. ___Put that into a some HELPER thing.( DAO,DAL,ORM) ____Put that into your custom business object _____Read from your business object.(if u can :) ) I see NO REASON for this " Unnecessary Pull ...Show All

• SQL Server Calendar slow to load

  Is anyone else experiencing performance problems with reports that use the calendar control for date parameters   Whenever we load a report that uses a calendar it takes several seconds to fully load the form (you can see something like this in the status bar:"...ReportViewerWebControl.axd OpType=Calendar...").  This is not a serious problem, but if the user tries to use the control before it fully loads then the page throws javascript errors.  I am wondering if this is a  issue with the report itself or the server configuration, or if it is just something we have to live with. The calen ...Show All

• Visual C++ Building VC++ proj files using MSBuild

  We use VS 2005. What is the best approach to automate the daily build process How can we use the MSBUILD to automate the build process for an application consisting of several projects( about 40) Are there any samples or documentation available to build multiple projects The application is in VC++(un-managed C++ version - it compiles to native code). I am able to compile a single project using VCBuild. I would lie to know how can we build all projects a single time without using multiple VCBUILD command lines, either using MSBUILD/VCBUILD. Is it possible to make them(tools) read the projects to compile from some input source, say a text fi ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Help! Save me from this error cursor not saved error message!!!

  Hi all; I have this grid who's control source is a cursor who is exclusive. Somewhere in the grid I use a replace command to change one of the fields in the cursor. When I move to the next row, and change a field I get an error stating that the current row is not saved and needs to be saved. I have tried everything including putting a FLUCH FORCE command after the replace command. I don't see why an exclusively opened table should even have this problem. Well, its probably a simple know thingy for you wizzards, but please save me before I lose my sanity :-) Thx. Somewhere in the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Release 2!

  So I got a marketing email for a new product called xCelsius from BusinessObjects, but I did not receive anything to tell me that Release 2 is available. I went to their website to see if there was an update as to the release time frame and instead found a download page. http://www.businessobjects.com/products/reporting/crystalreports/xi_release_2.asp Thank you so much for posting this.

• Visual Studio Is there a way to get MSBuild to use .sln files but determine dependency order for builds?

  I was thrilled to start playing with MSBuild to automate building our projects.  We have several solutions which build anywhere from 1-2 projects up to 50-60 projects.  One problem I've noticed however is that MSBuild doesn't seem to respect the dependencies to provide the proper build order when an MSBuild task loads a solution.  This sort of defeats the purpose of allowing the MSBuild task to load a solution if the build order is not respected. Is there any way to tell MSBuild to respect the build order through project-to-project dependencies   I poked around in the assemblies and it doesn't look like there is any way t ...Show All

• .NET Development Using the Athelon AMD 64 Processor on a 32 bit Mother board.

  I am an MSDN subscriber now for three years, and recently, I am having a constantly recurring problem with Visual Studio 2005 Team System for Developers. I originally installed the Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite edition, which has a 180 day limit on use, on my development machine. I then started developing with the best programming development environment that I have ever used. I love everything about this ingenious, well designed, and well behaving system UNTIL, a dialog box popped up one day and informed me that I had only 26 or 28 days left before the program would stop working. This was expected but, almost simultaneously I started getti ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions LIKE Operator

  Hi All. I'm having trouble with using the Like Operator from VB using the Adodc control. As a test, I have 1-field, 1-record in a 1-table database: Table: Test Field: Keyword Value: Testing I have my adodc connection string set up working fine. I try this query: "SELECT * FROM Test" And it selects the one record it fine. The problem comes when I add the LIKE Operator to a WHERE clause: "SELECT * FROM Test WHERE Keyword LIKE 'T*'" This returns no records. This is extremly strange because I put the same query in Access, and it will select the record fine. Am I missing some sort of lack-of-support wh ...Show All

• SQL Server Data flow task reports different row count than actual rowcount

  I have a data flow task that moves all the rows from 18 tables on a production server to a reporting services server. One table, which does not contain the most rows (about 650K rows) reports all the rows have been transferred. However, if I go in to the SQL Mgmt Studio and do a Select count(*) on the table, there are only 110k rows. Has anyone else experienced this problem Thanks, Nick Anzano How does the data flow report that 650k rows have been transferred Are you looking in the logs SSIS could certainly report that it has sent 650k to the database - what happens then is up to the database! Is the target database SQL ...Show All
