• .NET Development Dataset Column Not Saving

  Hello, I am adding a new column to a dataset. If I don't add any values to this column, and write the dataset to xml, it skips this column. Does anyone know why Thanks That behavior is by design - it is exactly the way an XML writer should act. If there's no data, don't write anything. Keeping track of what fields go where isn't the data file's business, but that of the schema definition file. ...Show All

• Visual C# How to use Webrowser.Navigate()?

  I would like to send form data to a web form and open it in the webbrowser control in my winform app.  However, how should I define my name-value POST data (i.e. parameters postdata and additionalHeaders) for method WebBrowser.Navigate()   Please see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms161355.aspx   Thanks a lot!   Hi, I think that you may create a HTML page in some temporary location, that contains a script that is invoked on page load and does post. Then you just navigate in you control to that local temporary page, it performs post during load, and here you are with the result in you ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Scenarios list, when?

  The Scenario List is an entry point for Planning Trac k and for its workstreams Create a Scenario and Define-Update Test Approach too. I couldn't find it as a result of any activity of Envision Track . When should it be done There is an exit criteria for Create a Scenario , Prioritized list of scenarios , so I'm assuming this is the point we create the Scenario List . But in other hand, Scenario List is an entry point for Define-Update Test Approach and this contains a dependency for Scenario List . This is the point I got confused, what am I missing here One more thing... Is Define-Update Test Approach a workstream It says so, but doesn' ...Show All

  Hello, I've just installed the Windows Vista Beta 2 (Build 5384) and so far so good, except for one thing: somehow i can't activate the option to show the power icon on the "notification are" of the "taskbar".

• Windows Forms Problem with ToolboxBitmapAttribute

  I have created a custom component and now I want to display a custom bitmap when the component is displayed in the toolbox.  I have applied the ToolboxBitmap attribute as follows: [ToolboxBitmap( typeof (Resources), "Resources.ComponentImage")] public class MyComponent : Component {    ... }   The weird thing is I can call ToolboxBitmapAttribute.GetImageFromResource( typeof (Resources), "Resources.ComponentImage", false )   and get the correct image, but Visual Studio still does not display the custom image in the toolbox!

• Windows Forms Addding multiple words together

  In Excel, I was wondering if there was a way to take a list of words about 7 and add , LLC to each with a click of a button. I have tried the replace command and thats not what I am looking for, it doesn't work. I have also tried to use the paste special and use the add control and that doesn't work either. So could someone please help me. Here is an example Tompson Diamondback Sagewood And what I was wondering is, is there a way to take all those words and at the same time add , LLC to the end so they look like this Thompson, LLC Diamondback, LLC Sagewood, LLC With out replacing each one, one line at a time.

• .NET Development Unmanaged application using managed library can't find referenced assemblies

  There's a C# application with some DLL's. There's an unmanaged application (Total Commander) and I want to create a plugin for it that uses some functions from my C# libraries. I figured the best interface is a managed C++ library: it implements the unmanaged plugin interface by exporting the necessary functions, and it calls into my managed code, so I don't have to reimplement that library. Problem is, it can't find the referenced assemblies (FileNotFoundException, File or assembly name ... or one of its dependencies blah blah). It finds them when they're in the GAC, but for other reasons, these assemblies shouldn't be installed there (they ...Show All

• Visual Basic Reading characters from a line

  I was wondering (DESPERATELY) how to read only certain characters from a line of text and how to define where the code will start reading and how far into the line the code will read.  and lastly - is it possible to store these specified characters in a variable   I've been messing around with "Mid()" but its not doing exactly what I need it to.  THANX Mid is going to strip your string, but you can also look into using regular expressions to look for patterns in a string, and return them. ...Show All

• SQL Server Returning objects from CLR Stored Procedure

  Hello All I have a few questions about how to return a DataSet object from a CLR Stored Procedure as an output parameter: Can this be done  I am having problems at execution time with declaring an output parameter of the type "DataSet". "Cannot find type DataSet" message, compiler/build does not complain, error occurs at execution time. This seems like one of the most obvious ways to create a more object-oriented approach using the technology offered in the 2005 product stack (.NET2.0/VS2005/SQL2005), Do you agree if not, what other design would you use. If this cannot be done, returning the serialization of the DataSet would ...Show All

• Visual Basic ComboBox Click Event (Vb.NET2005)

  I want to handle the Text_Changed event ( Changed by user click, not by code ) in a ComboBox. I use Combobox_click in vb6. It works fine. But in .NET, the ComboBox_Click event doesn't make sense (It fires the event just when the control is clicked before any change is made). I tried ComboBox_ SelectedValueChanged and ComboBox_SelectedIndexChanged. Both of them fire the event when the text is changed by code. I alse tried ComboBox_ SelectionChangeCommitted. However, the text in the comboBox is not updated while the event is handled (it is updated after the event handling). Does anyone know how Thanks ...Show All

• SQL Server MDX Question

That mean I want {London, LosAngeles} be MDX axis(0).   In Sql, we can use "like L%".   How to do this in MDX thanks, You can use the MDX Filter() function in combination with various VBA functions such as Left(), Right(), Mid(): SELECT FILTER([Cities].members, VBA!Left([Cities].CurrentMember, 1) = "L")) ON 0 FROM [Cube] (I am reciting this from memory so the syntax might not be a 100% right, but you get the idea) ...Show All
