• Visual Studio Express Editions reconstructing variables into memeory

  Greetings, I finally have figured out how to send 8 bit chars over my serial port. Thanks to all who helped. Next battle: I am communicating with an 8bit microcontroller. My compiler for the microcontroller allows me to generate integers larger than 8 bits. ie 16, 32, float ect. Lets say I have a 16bit variable in the microcontroller. It resides in two adjacent 8bit memory locations. I can send this variable out of the microcontroller over the com port one byte at a time from its memory location. ie send the lower byte, then send the upper byte. I can easily receive these two bytes into and array in VC++. My question is this: How do ...Show All

• SQL Server Subfolders

  I know you can create sub folders in report manager, and then move reports into them. Is this a good idea since report designer cannot deploy to sub folders, and then you are left with deleting and moving, which throws off your subscriptions. Am I missing something Thanks! You have several options: - report designer supports deployment in a specific folder - you can move reports around (not delete/recreate) which keeps subscriptions, etc.. - you can automate deployment scripts using the SRS script host - rs.exe, look for more details in MSDN or Books online Hope that helps Tudor Trufinescu ...Show All

• .NET Development Fix: Confirmed "BUG" in VS2005 - Microsoft Access, SourceSafe (Operation must use an updateable query.)

  Hi ! Just wanted to let you all know about a problem I strugled with for some time before I found the solution. To recreate the problem do this: 1) Create a windows form project that uses a access database as its data storage. 2) Add the project to the sourcesafe (note that the database will be added aswell) 3) Now try run the project in debug mode and you will receive the error when you try to update/add any data to the database "Operation must use an updateable query". The problem here is that since the database is added to sourcesafe, its been set to "Read Only". The "Read Only" flag does not change when the files are copied to the bin/De ...Show All

They are back since then and you will see them in the next CTP and at RTM.   -Doug ...Show All

• Windows Forms Can't Resize Columns in DataGridView

  Is it by 'design' that when the AutoSizeColumnMode for the grid is set to 'AllCells', users can resize the columns According to MSDN2 documentation( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/system.windows.forms.datagridviewautosizecolumnmode(VS.80).aspx ), "Content-based automatic resizing prevents users from adjusting column widths with the mouse. User resizing is enabled in fill mode, however" And for "AllCells" mode, "The column width adjusts to fit the contents of all cells in the column, including the header cell" Meaning, AllCells mode fits into the description of &qu ...Show All

• Visual Basic roll over text

  hey i was wondering if it was possible to make it so when you roll over a button(in a VB.NETapp) and it displayssome text, like how to use that button thanks Hi, I have to agree, you might be talking about a tooltip. In the designer window of your project add a tooltip from the common controls in your toolbox, click on any control (like your button) you want the text to appear for, and from the properties panel, select "tooltip on tooltip1" and write the text you want diplayed. Or as MS says: To set a ToolTip programmatically Add the control that will display the ToolTip. Use the SetToolTip met ...Show All
