• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) JOINS

  Having installed and now run the 101 examples, I'm pretty impressed, and also seen the actual SQL going to SQL 2005!  I believe now<S> However in the JOIN examples I see the 'joins' are done using the old SQL 89 syntax.   I.e. in the WHERE clause, which is perfectly valid for INNER JOINS but a surprise because of the limitations where it comes to OUTER JOINs An OUTER JOIN with constraint that is applied before the JOIN has no equivalent. E.g. Table 1                             ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Top VSTS+Agile intro resources

  Hello, I'm part of a small development team (10 members including business analyst, team leader and infrastructure guy). We're considering moving to Team System. We currently have a very loose, informal development process. I've been trying to catch up on Agile and methodologies in general, but there is very much information and much of it requires prior knowledge of or experience developing by methodologies. What I really need is concise introductory material explaining what Agile re-organization or restructuring is required to maximize usage of VSTS. So, what one or two concise introductory VSTS+Agile migration resources do you most highly ...Show All

• .NET Development Help : XML Signed document properties

  Does someone has a simple example in c# or vb.net to make an Xml signature that includes SignatureProperties element type for the inclusion of assertions about the signature itself (cf. W3C recommendation: XML-Signature syntax and Processing http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/#sec-o-SignatureProperty ). Thanks in advance for your answer. Moulincourt     Hi Moulincourt, The XML signature implementation that ships with the CLR does not include an implementation of SignatureProperties.  However you can still include them in your signature, you'll just need to do some work. First, you'll wa ...Show All

• Windows Forms Formatting data before binding

  Hello, I have a business object returning a datatable back to a bindingsource, which a datagridview uses to bind the results.  However, certain fields are yes/no, which I want to convert to true/false.  Is there an event that fires before the binding takes place where I can switch it Thanks. There are several approaches you can take here: Use the System.Windows.Forms.Binding class (extensive usage examples are included in the documentation for it). It features a Format event that does exactly what you want (and a Parse event for conversions the other way around); Write a SQL stored ...Show All

• .NET Development can not add COM component (evalcom2.dll) to a visual studio 2005 project

  On http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/msi/setup/validation_automation.asp is described how to use the Evalcom2.dll.

• .NET Development Javascript Validation in ASP.Net

  I am writing an ASP.Net application that needs validation for certain fields.  I found a Javascript routine that will examine a text box for uppercase, lowercase, and numerics.  I can split up the validation to return a value based on what is found. The problem is that I cannot figure out how to incorporate this Javascript with my custom error handler.  The custom error handler for ASP.Net cannot be used to weed numbers and/or special characters out of a text field.  That is why I am using the Javascript routine. This is what I am trying to add to the HTML code of my project: var numb = '0123456789'; var lwr = 'abc ...Show All

• Visual Basic inheritance template missing in vb.net 2005 express

  I'm trying to experiment with form inheritance and created a base form with a couple of buttons.  I save and build this base form as a dll.  Then I try to add another form which inherits the base form, but the project menu has no items to allow me to add an inherited form.  I've also tried adding a reference to the project first, but it still doesn't work.  What is wrong Actually, rather than add a class I simply added a windows form and changed the boiler plate code "inherits" statement and everything worked.  I've been working with VB.NET 2003 and wasn't cognizant of the separate ...Show All

• Windows Forms how to eliminate duplicated values in a databound combobox?

  I have a comboboxService, bound with an ACCESS db table "Service", the displayMember is a column called "serviceContactName", which allows duplicated value in the db. (i.e. one person can be the contact of many services). When I run the app, the combox will contain all the contact names for all services, e.g. if person "Smith" is the contact of 10 services, his name will have 10 duplications in the combobox. How can I make the comboboxService only load the same contactName once plz help If you databinds through datasets you can add a query to your data adapter which include a distinct select on th ...Show All

• .NET Development Activator.GetObject and client-activated object mutually exclusive?

  Hi all, From reading the documentation and articles, it appears that when the remotable type is configured as a client-activated type, Activator.GetObject cannot be used. I tried creating an instance of a client-activated remote object using Activator.GetObject. I started from a working implementation of a Singleton to a client-activated type. I can get a proxy, but every call to a method on the proxy results in a "Requested Service not found" exception. The reason I want to use Activator.GetObject instead of Activator.CreateInstance is because I prefer to only have an interface on the client side and not the full object implementation.
