• Windows Forms Determine mouse XY coordinates for double-click

  The DoubleClick event for a DataGrid is just using the basic EventArgs and not MouseEventArgs. That makes it kinda difficult to determine <em>where</em> it happened since you don't have the coordinates to perform a HitTest check. My MouseUp event is already used to performed a full row selection, so what's a possible go step to solving this ...Show All

• SQL Server calculations scripts for aggregating on a dimension with several hierarchies

  Hi everybody, I am using the September SQL Server 2005 CTP version. I have a cube with five dimensions and several measures. I want to aggregate all the measures except one through the "sum" function along all the dimensions. On the contrary I have a measure (called [Valore]) which I want to aggregate with the Sum function along all the dimensions except one dimension called [DomMese]. Along all the hierarchies of this dimension, in fact, I would like to aggregate that measure using the firstchild (or, even, using “average”). I tried to add in the Calculations script the following piece of code, using the "Scope" statement: SCOPE ...Show All

• .NET Development Typed DataSet and WriteXml Namespace issue

  Ok, I have a typed DataSet that was generated from an xsd schema using xsd.exe. The xsd schema is owned by a standards organization, so I can't modify it. The generated code sets the Namespace property of the DataSet (e.g. http://www.std.org/xml/name-space ). This controls the scope of elements read from an XML file when calling ReadXml and the file is read correctly with appropriate rows populated. Now, if I turn around and call WriteXml the typed DataSet creates a root element based on the DataSetName property, which is Ok. However, I get the namespace attribute on this element. (e.g. <MyDataSet xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3c.org/ ...Show All

• Visual C# How to develop a password protected Windows Application?

  Hi all, I am trying to develop a password protected windows application. All that I require is a simple prompt for password whenever the application is started. The program should be able to detect if the application is started for the first time. If it is, the application should prompt for the user to set a password instead. If the password is correct, then the application will go on to show the starting startup screen. I am not really sure how to start or go about creating this application, i.e. password protected part. Q1) How do I store the password that is set. Do I create a static variable string and store the password using this stat ...Show All

Can I just remove the original and use the hotfix in it's place Thanks, Paul The update was pushed to you via Windows Update because it was rated as an Important security update.  In general you don't want to disable accepting updates since it will leave your system vulnerable to attacks ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Profiler instrumentation of C++ classes

  Can someone point to the documentation describing. Specifically I need to explicitly include member functions of some template classes. The command line says: /INCLUDE:funcspec+ Simple functions work fine, but I can't find the way to supply template functions (e.g. map<string, double>::find) Also, it there a way to supply response file (configuration file) rather than spelling out everything on command line Thanks.
