• Windows Forms Binding DataGridViewImageColumn in DataGridView

  Dear all, I would like to binding (string or bool) data from database in DataGridViewImageColumn. However, i catch exception in DataGridView_Error event when i run it. Exception message is Formating error or Commit error. Please help me to resolve my problems and give me example code if possible. Thanks for your help. Khiem Vo. The Image column only supports binding to a byte array, not to a string or bool data. You'll need to manually convert the string or bool to an image in the CellFormatting event.

• Visual Studio Logos in Report Header

  Hi Everyone, I'm doing a project with local reports. In my reports the logo comes from the database thus I've to use a 'Database' image.My report logo is inside a report header alone with other info. The problem I have is that I cant refer to Database fields inside the report header. I got round this by having the other report header fields as Parameters. I also tried to cross-refer the image from an hidden image box located inside the report body. But I guess that's not simple as doing the same for a text box to refer a string. One alternative is to forget abt the ReportHeader and go for a Recatngle data region but its much cooler to have ...Show All

• Visual C# Parent and Child relationship among Forms

  Hello, I am trying to develop an application which will have the following layout, but running into a little bit of trouble. Let's say I have a main window FORM_Main, which has 2 buttons but1_main and but2_main. If you click but1_main, FORM_1 appears.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Vista 5259 denying me access to my IP settings

  I did a clean install of the OS and the internet is not working again, I know I'll have to enter my IP etc directly into the TCP/IP properties but when I try to do that it would not let me, with error message saying I do not have sufficient rights to access those settings, so it's denying me access to my own computer settings, how do I fix or get around this Thanks for any help. 5259 is not a supported build, but it sounds like you are running either as a standard user or a protected admin and that the credui/consentui isn't getting invoked(bug).

• .NET Development Pressing enter key causes my web page to load again.

  Hi , I am facing a strange problem with the ASP.NET (with VB.NET) user controls. My user control contains only one text box web control and some other controls (but one and only one text box).  I put this user control on a webform (web form also does'nt have any text box control) and request that web form through "http:// " request. Now, when i put some text in the text box and press the "Enter" key (while the cursor is still in the textbox ) the webform reloads i.e. Page_load event is called again for the webform and subsequentally for my user control. This initializes my user control to blank sta ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Caching\Source Control abnormalities in Team Systems

  This is more of a overall problem I've been having then a specific problem. We currently are in a pilot project -- 4 developers, 1 architect, 2 ba's, 1 pm, and 2 dba's. The code we have been working on has multiple projects of different types (web, web deployment, setup, class library, etc) and we've been in a bit of flux as we've been investigating different architectual problems. As we have been adding and removing different projects there seem to be lots of caching going on so that 1 person will delete a project out of source control so that it doesn't appear at all (no red x indicating it wil be deleted, etc) and another person will g ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro define window

  How could we show a define window into a top level form, where-in screen visible is set to FALSE Because I try it, and it doesn't show-up, maybe i got wrong in coding. Thanks for any help Amado Madix, Start thinking how you do that with a browse. If you can browse then there is either a cursor or table open in current workarea. With a browse or programmatically moving record pointer ( say with skip, locate, seek etc ) you can go on any record. "Transfer to your form" - it depends. If you call a form that uses the same datasession as calling form does all you need is to position the record pointer ( by any means, it might be a browse, ...Show All
