Windows Forms Dynamically switching queries and databases
I am using VS2005 and am able to bind a complex query to a DataGridView at design time. What I ultimately want to do is: (1) Select a named query from a drop-down box then reconfigure the DataGridView for the appropriate number of columns and repopulate with the new query. (2) Select a database from a drop-down box and refresh the DataGridView with data from the new database. (Assume I have created the appropriate DataSources.) I see where the query is stored in the _commandCollection of a TableAdapter (and in the xsd file) but I do not find public access to those. As far as the DB connection, I see references in Settings.Designer.c ...Show All
Windows Forms Click Event
Can someone tell me what the code for opening a link is. Like Process.Start(" www.microsoft.com ") for Visual Basic .net. Also could someone tell me where to put the code. I don't understand - if you mean a URL link, that is the code. Put the code where-ever you want to open a URL. I suspect you're asking something else, but it's not clear to me. Do you mean a link button It's like any button, you can add the code for a click event in the designer, it will put the right code where it needs to be. ...Show All

Windows Forms ListBox is really slow on adding about 64000 items
so, this is a problem - adding about 64000 into ListBox takes about 2-3 seconds.. my code: David M. Kean - MSFT wrote: You might want to consider a different design that doesn't require a user to select from 64000 items. It's not usable. this list is some kind of dictionary index - filled with words.. with input box for quick searching - it is a common design as i think.. there are many programms with such design (different kinds of dictionaries) - and they are not so slow on startup :) may be they use some hacks to populate words' list .. ...Show All
