• Visual Studio Macro shortcut key assignment not working

  Running Final Release. I have created a macro and now I want to assign a keyboard shortcut for it.  Near as I can tell I am following the directions correctly, but as soon as I assign the shortcut to the macro and run it, instead of the macro running, I see a repeat of the actions I just took to create the shortcut.  That is, to say it another way, instead of my original macro running, the keystrokes I just took to assign the shortcut run instead.  What's going on It sounds like you are recording the steps to set a key to a macro.  Did you specifically stop recording the macro before s ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Organizing Projects into Products or Customers or Releases?

  Hi! We're trying to figure out how to best organize our VSTS projects. We have 5 different product all sharing the same core. We have core releases every 3 month, and a product release about every 6 month.The core is developed together with the product, so before the start of a new core release, the "core" functionality from all released product are merged into the Core. In addition a product are usually sold together with some customitation. This is done through developing some "add-on" modules to the product. So these are the different approches we are thinking of: One project per product. One project for ...Show All

• Windows Forms Does datagridview checkboxcolumn support text?

  VB 2005, DataGridView in UnBound mode: I am new to using the built-in datagridview checkboxcolumn type. I was assuming since this column type is similar to a checkbox, then each such cell would support both the box for the checkmark and a text string next to it. Is this the case, or did I just dream it up Assuming it was a dream, does anyone have a reference on how to make a cell in the datagridview behave like this where each cell can have both a True/False value and a text value Thanks!

• Visual C# byte to integer conversion - client server programming

• SQL Server Transfering and verifying data using temp tables

  Hi, I need to write code that uses temp tables to check data and transfer it to another table. As I understand, data has to be transfered to temp table, and then a loop will check each row for data integrity and move the valid rows into a new table. The code looks something like this. The problem is with this code, the destination table (table 3) contains only one record instead of 375. What am I doing wrong Select CustomerID, StaffID, Sequence, Bldg, Floor into #temptable from [06w_manukyan]..[Table1] declare @CustomerID char(10), @StaffID char(6), @Sequence int, @Bldg char(3), @Floor char(2) set rowcount 1 Select @CustomerID=Cus ...Show All
