• Visual Studio Express Editions Databinding Doesn't work!?

  Dear all Even though I have followed the tutorial on data binding gui's on msdn, my installation of vs.vb.net 2k5 doesn't add data. I've created a table in the sql database, added the dataset, drag and dropped the data table onto the form in detail view. I also entered some test data directly to the database in vs.2k5 enviornment. Running the program it displays the records in the database. I've added an msgbox command to display the "updated" records from the form's dataset. Saving new records causes a message to popup giving a new record count, which i assumed added the data to the database. But closing the program an ...Show All

• Visual Basic MDI form startup

  Hi I last used .Net 2002  and in the MDI form used the code below. In the properties of the project you set the compiler to start the main() function first.

• .NET Development No of threds in DotNet

  hi, i want to know how many threads will be thier(running) when an dotnet application runs. No he's not, the GC runs on a user thread (or threads). There is no fixed number of threads running in a process (using the CLR), what you have is a main thread a finalizer thread and a debugger helper thread as a minimum. The CLR your code(managed and unmanaged) and the framework classes can create any number of additional threads as it sees fit.   Willy.   < sureshsundar007@discussions.microsoft.com > wrote in message news:235f92b5-18 ...Show All

• Windows Forms ComboBox no longer has scroll events?

  VB 6 had scroll events for the ComboBox, but I don't see them, either in the documentation or the IDE intellisense.  Is this not available in .NET I want to load up only the first so-many into the ComboBox, since there can be more than 100,000 values, then load up the next group when they scroll to the bottom of the current bunch.  Is there some other way of doing this (I tried search, but get an error.) Peter. Unfortunately there is no easy way to do this - the ComboBox Control does not support a "virtual" mode. Joe Stegman The Windows Forms Team Microsoft Corp. This posting is prov ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums When to program in VBA and when not to???

  Hello Guys and Gals I have to make a presentation about VBA, and one question I need to answer is when to program and when not to program in VBA. That is, I sure will not program a Find function, since there is one built-in, and it does a great job. But I sure would want to write code that would enhance the Find function and make it look in multiple worksheets. What other examples of when not to program can I use Thanks for any help.
