• Windows Forms FlexGrid / Datagrid question

  Hi, I know that there is no Flexgrid in VB.NET 2003, and most posts I have seen are directing people to the datagrid. My problem is that I don't think the datagrid is an option in my case. I have recently upgraded my VB6 app to VB.NET 2003, which uses a FlexGrid. I populate the grid at runtime...and NOT from a database table The grid uses column AND row headings, which I need to be fixed in place...ie when the user scrolls horizontal ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions C++ examples in .Net

  After I moved from the Beta 2 to the release of Visual C++ 2005 Express, I was shocked to see that even the few code examples in C++ in the .Net framework class library were gone! At this time my interest is only limited to ADO.NET so I don't know about other .Net libraries but I can't believe only C# and VB.Net are considered "worthy" of extra attention in .Net, ... or am I the victim of some weird circumstances Kamen As far as my experen ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Backup job does not truncate the SQL log files

  I've implemented a standard Maintenance Plan to backup up the Team Foundation databases. (Full recovery model.) For some reason the log files doesn't truncate and shrink, as I believe they should do automatically after a backup is done, and a CheckPoint should have been set. I believe the latter doesn't happen (hence no truncate), but could anyone help me figure out why not Espen The log files will not automat ...Show All
