• Windows Forms Variation of the Master/Detail

  Hi All, I have a slight problem with my master/detail scenario: I actually want to show the same data in the detail view as in the master view. I have a form that shows the master table as a grid and I have a form, that will, when things work, show the same data as a details form. When I double click a row in the grid view, I want the other form to show only data for that row in the details form. Now, when I double click a row in the grid, the details form comes up, but it does not necessarily show the row I was on, rather the first row in the data set. How do I set up the data sources etc. correctly such that this is possible Thanks ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Debug Mode vs Release Mode

  I am working through a beginning C# book which is attempting to demonstrate the Debug.WriteLine and Trace.WriteLine functionality in both Debug and Release mode configurations. The book states to simply choose the release mode option from the standard toolbar. I believe that the book is assuming the use of the full blown version of Visual Studio 2005, whereas I am using Visual C# 2005 Express Edition. I see a drop down box in the standard toolbar that, when rolled over, shows solution configurations. However, this box is grayed out and not accessible. Is there some configuration setting that needs to be made in order to "activate& ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView perf questions

  Continuing the conversation on the forums so everone can participate... Adam asks: This is a great FAQ . I'm curious, why would they make the Alternating Style override the DataGridViewColumn.DefaultCellStyle It seems like that should be an underlying style more like DataGridView.DefaultCellStyle. What do you think about SuspendLayout and ResumeLayout I notice your FAQ doesn't mention those two methods. Will they help performance I'm trying to optimize my DGV's as much as possible, but the ones with 500+ rows and approx 10 to 20 columns are very slow. Unfortunatly the ones with many rows are also the ones that I have to perform custom ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Convenience question: global setting of panelitem margins

  If I have a panel, like the uniformgrid or the stackpanel, I regularly do not want the items within it to be next to eachother, but I want a margin around them. I set the margin for each individual item. I can not find a fast way to set these globally. That would be really convenient though for quick layouts. I'd love to see a property like 'ElementMargin' on the stackpanel that will set that margin around each element it shows. Well, depends on what's in your StackPanel. Is each child of the same type If so you can put a type specific style on the StackPanel once and it will be picked up by all children. For example:   ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions What books to get

  I have looked at the local book store for books on programming. There seems to be a selection of books on VB6 and also on VB.Net. Which would be a better choice for me to get in order to learn the Express edition Any major differences I should know about when reading one of those that I need to keep in mind when I'm applying it to VB Express Thanks! Whatever book(s) you get, get those that cover VB2005. The other versions, won't help you with VB2005. There are a lot of new books for VB2005 and even some that include a copy of VB2005 Express Edition. I haven't used but one book on VB2005 and that was Introdu ...Show All

• Visual C# Newbie: Two Questions on Generated Delegate Class

  Hi everyone, I'm new to C# 2.0 (moving over from Java) so these might be easy. I have two questions I'd like to ask regarding delegates. I know that when I declare a delegate the C# compiler automatically generates a class that extends MulticastDelegate . Here's a simple delegate declaration: delegate bool Charlie(bool b1); First Question When I use ildasm to view the generated class for Charlie I see there is a generated c'tor that takes two parameters: an object and a native int. Yet, when I instantiate a Charlie object, I only pass one parameter to the constructor. Here's an example: Charlie c = new Charlie(someMet ...Show All

• SQL Server Old Excel files after SQL2000 > SQL2005 migration

  Hello there! We are having some problems over here after our SQL2005 upgrade. If we try to use an excel file that previously accessed the SQL2000 database (same DSN name and credentials), and then try to refresh the data after the 2005 upgrade, we get the errormessage "[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]User 'DOMAIN\username' does not have permission to run DBCC TRACEON." We have tried to delete and recreate the DSN file.. Tried to use SA user instead (with offcourse full access).. An even bigger problem is that we can not even get into msquery to copy the SQL query to make a new file, the same problem appears. ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB 2005 Compiler Optimization Discussion

    There's been something percolating in the back of my mind. I come from a computing environment that preceeded windows and the Intel Architecture and instruction set. n comparison to the instruction set that i'm used to, the Intell instruction set looks like a house wreck which may or may not be important to the discussion at hand. Everyone knows that moderators agree on everything and that in moderator space we just stand in love circles and sway back and forth. So when I was discussing a compiler one day, I said I really admired a language which had a seven pass compiler. "Nonsense", was the response, "two will do it." Wi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Credentials probem connecting to TFS

  I have installed TFS beta 3 on a single server in workgroup (Server A). Now I have some clients (WKS01, WKS02, ...) in a win2k domain (DOMAIN). If I connect from WKS01 using IE then IE pops to ask the credentials, I type the workgroup user credentials  and then I can see the WSS project portal. If I try connect using VS 2005  it fails. I think that this problem is due to the fact the VS2005 pass the credentials of the user (DOMAIN\User1) belonging to the context in which VS is running. There is a way to bypass this problem If not and I decide to move Server A in the domain, do I need to install again TFS Thanks Fabrizio ...Show All
