• Windows Forms How to do a three table join via IDE

  I am trying to develop a windows application which takes a selected author and displays all titles for that author. There is a many-to-many relationship between authors and titles so there is a join table conyaining the authorID and the TitleID for a given author. I can't seem to figure out how to get the titles to display in a listbox based on the selected author. Any help appreciated. This helped. I got a bit side tracked looking at the .xsd file. This shows the defined relationships. Once I saw that the foreign key relationships could be chosen as a data source in the IDE, I got it to work.   ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System how to unbind a project and rebind it in new location

  I bound a project in a TFS source control location that I want to move to another place. I cannot find any way to move the project, and rebinding it in Visual Studio does not let me add it to another location in the source control tree. I really would like to move the project down one level (ie: from $/MyProject/ to $MyProject/Library1/) so that I can organize other class libraries under the existing project. I have also tried the "tf delete $/MyProject" command, but that just complains that it is "unable to determine the workspace". The online help and tf command line help are of no use. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Problem with System.IO.Ports when sending data to Bluetooth com port.

  I want to connect a mobile phone from my pocket pc over Bluetooth com port using the new System.IO.Ports.SerialPort function in .Net Compact Framework 2.0. I can open the com port, but when I want to write data to it, the whole pocket pc hangs and I have to hard reset it.

• Visual Studio Missing Icons and Bad Links in MSDN

  Hello. I'm having trouble with my installation of MSDN. Some of the little icons that should appear next to some of the links don't show up, and many of the links don't work.

• SQL Server Stored Procedure Wizard

  SQL 2000 had a Stored Procedure Wizard and I was wondering where it is in SQL 2005 or if it even exists any more. If it is gone was an alternative created Jon I an trying to understand the issue here. Why would you want to create 50 stored procedures all at the same time If you are putting together a new enterprise application that requires a lot of tables, views, functions and SPROCs perhaps a code generator would make more sense. They can allow you to create several procedures at once. Much faster than any wizard from microsoft. I usually build applications up a piece at a time this includes SPROCs. Gene ...Show All
