• SQL Server Table default value and data inserts using windows forms: It does not insert default value.

  I've created a table with a "Price" field (smallmoney). I set the default value for that field to be '1,99'. Then i create a Visual C# application, and add my table as a datasource, and drag it onto my form as a textbox. The problem is that if I leave the field empty, and Save - the value saved in DB is NULL. I would expect that since no value is given, it would insert the default value, which is 1,99. Are there any easy way to achieve this Without hardcoding the default values again, in my application I tried changing the field to not allow nulls, but that just resulted in an error when i try to save, because the value ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Questions about the new WPF/And Related

  Okz, i've seen those videos on Channel9 about Vista, and i have a few questions. The previews in the taskbar on mouseover, or/and the previews in the alt+tab - will they increase your memory usage as it would having two of the same thing running (like say if im running notepad, put my mouse over notepad in the taskbar, and i see a mini version of the currently opened notepad, will this use as much resources as 2 notepads running ) The other is about XAML, and WPF. It seems really cool, how Vista looks, except will this be easily added to our applications in Visual Studio 2005 I watched the Internet Hearts video and it didnt talk that muc ...Show All

• Smart Device Development auto-ftp ...

  I'm working on an app based off of the CPP CE CameraCapture app, and I'd like to regularly FTP the captured media to a web server. I wrote the FTP library in C# (back when I was hoping to do the whole job in C#, before realizing how little DirectShow is exposed to managed code) and honestly currently lack the skills to crank it out in CPP. I'm wondering what is the method to carry out the process, end to end. The platform is currently a Treo700w - a WM5.0 Smartphone -- and will eventually be a Cingular 2125 -- also a WM5.0 Smartphone. Can I crank up my C# FTP app, have it poll the capture directory for new material every so often, and lau ...Show All

• .NET Development multithreading issue - please help

  Hi, I'm having big issues using multithreading. As it is quite difficult to explain I've made a sample application to illustrate my problem: http://graphicsxp.free.fr/WindowsApplication11.zip It starts a new thread, which DoWork function calls a delegate to do do operations on controls (tabcontrol, datagrid....) There is also a popup that contains a progressbar to show the progress in real-time. The problem is that updating the progressform in the delegate does not work, so I can only update the progressform before or after calling the delegate, which is pointless as progress should be updated as operations on control are being ...Show All
