• Visual Studio Breaking change in RC C# compilation

  In all versions of the IDE prior to VS8 RC C# build employed interfaces provided by cscomp.dll shipped with .NET framework. Our company uses internal tool that integrates VERY smoothly as preprocessor into the build process by thunking interfaces in cscomp.dll. Compilation options, error reporting and debugging transparency are achieved with minimal coding. Now, it seems, RC has its own copy of compiler in C# package, and while csc based builds still work, IDE does not use cscomp.dll anymore. Any hint on how can we integrate preprocessor into new compilation process would be greatly appreciated. Please, help, whatev ...Show All

• Windows Forms Dynamically loading MDIchild forms at runtime

  Hi all, I would like to create an application where i can easily add / update components (e.g. inventory component, customers component) to the application without modifying the main project. I tried to design the architecture based on a MDI-application where I define the components in MDIchilds. The MDI-parent is then the main project. Each MDI-child has to be registered in a database and subsequently based on a user's credentials, this MDI-child can be loaded. Also based on these credentials, the user menu is dynamically created. I am actually looking for a project similar to DotNetNuke, but then developed in Windows Forms... But th ...Show All

• .NET Development File.Exists()

  Hi. Wierd problem here If i take this exact same code and put it into a Windows app in C#, it works and enters the loop after the File.Exists() command If i take this, modify it for the smartphone, it seems it return false all the time however the file does exist in that directory.

• .NET Development Control the order of calculation for fields with expressions

  c#, VS2005 My DataTable is having several 'calculated/expression' fields. Is there a way to control the order of calculation so that i would be able to use a calculated field in another, but be sure that field x is calculated before being used in field y.

• Windows Forms How to make a property not show up in propertyGrid

  I have a control that derives from the TextBox control. It has some additional properties in addition to the ones inherited from the TextBox control. I know that for all public properties, the default value for the browseable attribute is true which means that when you drag a control on to a form, the property will show up in the propertyGrid. My question is how do I turn the browseable attribute to false since I don't want all the properties in my control to show up in the propertygrid. I will explicitly set the browseable property to true for those properties that I want to show up in the propertygrid. Anyhelp in this regard is ...Show All

• .NET Development Icons for files - by extension

  Hi, I'm trying to populate a treeview with files in a folder and would like to show the icons for the file. How can I get the icons when I have the extension For example, ".doc" would give me the icon with the w. I want it to look like Explorer and have all registered files show icons. Thanks Thanks, David, but I belive that only gets icons from within the file. That's OK for excutables, etc. But, I'm also looking to get an icon associated with data and other files. See my .doc example above. At the moment, I'm doing an Explorer look-alike, and want to see icons for everything (eve ...Show All

Is this really setting the relationships on the database or just creating relationships in a dataset You can use any tools you wish to create the relationships between tables - I personally perfer the old fashion way of writing SQL DDL queries. You can use the data designer within VS to create the relationships or create the relationships programmatically by creating a dataset and adding tables to it.
