• Windows Forms DataGridView KeyDown?

  (VS2005 - beta 2) Hello, is there anyway to capture a keypress or keydown event in the DataGridView   I know there's events called KeyDown and Keypress, but if the DGV is in edit mode, they never get caught.  My ultimate goal is to make it so pressing enter moves to the Cell to the right, instead of to the next row but I need to know what key is being pressed before I can do that. Thanks -Adam Hi Logan I would explain step by step You have to derive the datagridview class to do this. First you have to add a new class1.vb to your project and write some code in it: Public Class DGV ...Show All

• .NET Development Is it better to buy 64-Bit pc?

• Visual Studio Express Editions Cannot find MSDN Express Library and SQL Server Express in Add/remove programs component section

  Hi, I downloaded Visual Web Developer Express on my pc.  I did not download the express library  or SQL server express because I already have studio.net on my pc, web matrix (and the server it uses) and IIS.  I didn't think I needed sql server express, plus I thought I'd be able to download it through "Add/Remove programs" and adding the optional component according to the "Readme" file.  SQL Server Express and MSDN Library Express are not in the components section in my Add/Remove programs list.  Do I need to uninstall VWD and reinstall it in order to get these components   I've already registered the prod ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Web file existist

  Hi, I'm building a small program which displays images that are downloaded from a website during runtime. My question is: How do you determine whether a file exists on the web (i.e. check to see if a .gif file exisist at a URL e.g. "http://www.somedomain.com/someimagename.gif") Really the only way to determine if the file is there is to request it and check the status code you get back and/or check the full output as well. A simple way to check the status code is: HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.somedomain.com/someimagename.gif" ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Error with custom activities

  In a number of my projects I keep getting stuck when I try to use custom activities in my workflow projects. I add a reference to my activities project into my sequential workflow project and drag on the activity shape from the toolbox. Sometimes I get the build error "Could not create activity of type 'MyWorkflow'. An item with the same key has already been added." I can delete everything and start again and the problem remains. Can anyone explain what this error means I'm using activities and workflows with code-separation, if this is relevent. Much obliged, David. Perhaps it helps you to know that the cod ...Show All

• SQL Server Feature requests

  May be it's too late, but I think this requests could be scheduled at least for a SP1 if it's not possible for the RTM. 1) Execute Task without debugger: it would be very nice to be able to execute a single task without going in debugging mode. Just as you would ask "Start Without Debugging CTRL+F5" but for a single task 2) Customize default properties for task and component: when you drag a task on the package you get a default value for the properties that you could want to change; often I need to change the same property in the same way each time (for example I'd like to set the Batch Size for a OLE DB destination to 1000 instead than 0 ...Show All

• SQL Server An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.

  I recently re-formated my personal server and installed SQL Server 2005 on it instead of 2000 which I previously used. Now, I have imported the databases to the new SQL Server 2005, but I seem to get the following error when trying to access the database (from my asp.net page)   I've googled and searched the forum, without any luck. Now I was hoping for someone to answer this question, or perhaps guide me in the right direction.   Note: I've tried 5-6 different solutions that I found on the net, in vain.       Server Error in '/ph' Application. ---------------------------------------------- ...Show All

• Visual Studio No data in Reports, but the headers show up fine

  C#, VS Pro 2005..... OK, so I've tried the simple approach of creating a form, adding a CR Viewer and ReportDocument to the form, selected just one field from a table (as a simple test - I've tried more complex ones as well). When I run the app and view the form, the report shows up blank, but with the headers visible. Refresh does nothing but, well, refresh the headers. Yep, the Viewer is set to the report name. The preview function shows nice test data having nothing to do with my data - so that doesn't help. Is there a secret handshake to enable actually getting data in a report Something on the order of the way a form is laun ...Show All
