• Visual Basic Common Language Runtime detected an invalid program

  Alright... Now I have made some research and I found out that this exception can be thrown by invalid IL or by too many controls on a page. But since I have not more than 30 controls in my page that throws this exception it must be the IL. I have also run the PEVerify.exe on the assembly Here's the output: [MD]: Error: MethodImpl's Decl and Body method signatures do not match.

• .NET Development Parent Child Relationships within a Datatable

  Hi there, I've read some of the threads on parent-child relationships but nothing seams to deal with relationships within the same table. I'm using ADO.NET 2.0. Basically I have a DataTable which I add rows to during my processing. It contains parent child realtionships within the table. When I call the update I'm getting Foreign Key Violations obviously because the child is being filed before the parent. I don't have any control over the order in which I add the records to the DataTable. To make things more complicated, the Parent and Child IDs are GUIDs which means sorting is no use. Can anyone assist me with a pattern h ...Show All

    Does anybody know any way to control the Horinzontal Scrollbar of DatagridControl As I try there isnt any event which fires when there is a change in Scrollbar, and there isn’t also a way to position the scrollbar in the region that i want.

However, as user scrolls, grid would be repainted. That means you might be able to inherit from DataGrid and hook into OnPaint() to simulate event you need by ...Show All
