• SQL Server Make (Select All) as default value in parameter

  Dear Anyone,   Does anyone know how to Make (Select All) as default value in parameter selection on a multi-select parameter thanks, Joseph We have the hotfix for the (Select All) option applied (after applying SP1). However, when the users change another parameter filter which cascades to change to the multivalued parameter filter, the (Select All) option is not reapplied. In other words, if new entries show up in the multivalued ...Show All

• Windows Forms CancelEdit or RejectChanges

  I have a bindingsource bound to a datagridview. I delete a row using bindingsource.removecurrent, and then I try to restore the row using bindingsource.canceledit. That doesn't work (even though it does work when removing and restoring rows in a listbox), so I tried calling RejectChanges on the underlying datatable and that worked. So why doesn't Canceledit work. I literally put the statements back to back for testing purposes and it still won't ...Show All

• SQL Server Identity field settings not copied by Import Wizard (2005)

  It appears that when you use the import/export wizard from within Microsoft SQL Server Managment Studio, the identity attributes of the table being copied are not transferred. For example, say the source table has a column [ref] [int] IDENTITY ( 1 , 1 ) NOT NULL, When the import wizard is done the destination table will have a column named ref, but will not be an identity column. The column definition will be [ref] [int] NOT ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System "The permission Destroy is not valid"

  I created a Team Project and SCC branch and then realized that I wanted to basically start over because I did something wrong.  While I don't realistically expect that I can actually delete the Team Project itself, I was hoping to remove and re-establish the SCC folders for that project (by blowing them away and re-adding the code solution to the Team Project). In order to do this I am trying to grant the "Destroy" permission to a user ...Show All

• Windows Forms Automatic toolbox item service ignores ToolboxItem attribute

  The service that automatically creates toolbox items is not using the correct class: it ignores the ToolboxItemAttribute on the component that specifies which ToolboxItem-derived class to use, and instead creates a ToolboxManagerToolboxItem. The result is a bunch of unusable Toolbox items. We have already logic to populate the toolbox with a correct ToolboxItem whenever the designed class is opened in our graphical root designer. So we h ...Show All
