• Visual C# Reg the Validation in Reusable component

  When creating the reusable components, validations for that input parameters can be written inside the component or in calling form itself. Which is the best way to do which is the best practice What is the Benifit of the doing this one If the validation has got to do with your core business logic,it is best to encapsulate it in the control/class library(depending on whether your component is visual or non-visual),so that it does 2 things- 1.Promotes reusability 2.Any changes that need to be made tomorrow,when your business need changes,will affect the component ONLY.The changes made to the compone ...Show All

• Windows Forms Merging ContextMenuStrip to ToolStripMenuItem

  I have a context menu which defines a basic set of items(add, remove, properties). I would like to add these items to a ToolStripMenuItem.

• Visual Basic How do make progress bar work on the working interface?

  Hi, I am programming two interfaces for a Windows application: interface1 is the main interface, and there is a button on it. When I click the button on the interface1, the interface2 should be shown. But it will take long time to display the interface2 (the working interface), since the interface2 is doing many computings. I would like to set a progress bar so that the interface2 can display immediately after I click the button on the interface1. After the interface2 display, we can see the progress growing step by step. Could anyone provide a sample program Thanks in advance. Moreover, I use the following codes to make the interface2 ...Show All

• Windows Forms BindingSource's AddNew fired automatically if no object in collection

  I have a form holding a list of data objects for the user to browse and select to edit.  The data objects come from a CollectionBase-derived object that implements IBindingList (in fact, it's BusinessCollectionBase of CSLA .NET Framework).  This collection is bound to a BindingSource , then the BindingSource is bound to a BindingNavigator and a DataGridView . When this form is loaded, the collection class' static method will read the data from the database and return a collection instance.   If some data objects are loaded into the collection, everything is ok and the BindingSource's AddingNew event will not be fired automati ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) No WinFX template in VS2005!?

  I have installed the Visual Studio 2005 Extensions, but there's no WinFX project template in Visual Studio. I'm using Vindows Vista Beta 2 Build 5384.4. When you installed Vista Beta 2, did you reformat the hard disk If not, I wonder if your problem could be caused by an old version of the Visual Studio extensions for WinFX on your disk.

• Visual C# dynamic testing, casting and instantiating generic types

  I'm trying to understand how to manipulate generic types at runtime but can't seem to get at what I'm looking for. For example: object obj = new Dictionary<string, object>(); So I now have generic dictionary object. How do I test obj to determine it is indeed a generic dictionary Is there something similar to: if (obj is Dictionary < what goes here > )    Then once I know this object is a generic dictionary, how do I create a typed reference to it Dictionary< what goes here > typedReference = ( Dictionary <What goes here >) obj; I want to be then be able to add items to the dictionary typedReference.A ...Show All

• SQL Server Legacy Maintenance Plans

  FYI... I upgraded a SQL 2000 machine to SQL 2005. When I remove a database, it doesn't automatically remove the Legacy Maintenance Plans associated with this database. When I remove the Legacy Maintenance Plan, it doesn't automatically remove the jobs associated with the plan. It also leaves behind a stub in msdb.dbo.sysdbmaintplans. Just a heads-up.

• SQL Server Replacing sqlserver 2000 with sqlserver 2005 express

  I have an app that uses a sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to connect to a sqlserver 2000. Is it possible to do a direct replacement of sqlserver 2000 with sqlserver 2005 express just by reconfiguring the app to point to the express The app would still be using the sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to try and make the connection. If that is a possibility, what can be some differences in the configuration Previously with 2000 the config information I entered is: server name: "machinename"( or ip).

• SQL Server Execution of Package failed

However the new wizard does not work... I wrote SSIS package, but when I execute I get the following error: "Can not apply value null to property Login..."
