• SQL Server Dynamically Generating SMDL (Report Model Definitions) With C#

• Windows Forms ComboBox - SelectedIndex Bug when List is in DropDown state

  Hi all, I have noticed a strange bug with the System ComboBox in .NET 1.1. Whenever the ComboBox is in DropDown state, it does not appear to update the SelectedIndex.

Make sure the ComboBox.DropDownStyle is set to DropDown. 5. Add items to the ComboBox (doesn't matt ...Show All

• Visual C++ Problem migrating from VS .Net to VS 2005, release build only

  We have reciently moved from VS .Net to 2005 and seem to have hit a snag with one of our programs. We have 3 programs that all ran perfectly (well, usually) under both debug and release builds using .net, using the default build options, or at least very very close. When we moved to 2005, after fixing all of the typical migration errors/warnings and getting a clean build with all 3 programs under debug and release we found that one of the progra ...Show All

• Architecture Lazy linking pattern

  Lazy loading is a familiar pattern for hydrating business objects but has the drawback of being expensive when many objects need to retrieved (through many SQL queries). In a situation where there are perhaps 20 classes of object each with only 5 to 100 instances of each class, it may make sense to load each of the instances of each of the classes in one go. However linking these classes might be best done as required (hence 'lazy l ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Public/Private Sub Issue

  I am sure this question has alot to do with my inexperience with VB...so its probably something simple. I have a form with some text boxes on it. I have them set to be ReadOnly by default. I want to make it so they can be enabled by opening a dialog box and typing a password. So I created a public sub( ) that basically just enables the form fields when the correct password is typed. The problem is that the statement that makes ReadOnly ...Show All

• Visual C++ Can STL vector cross DLL boundary?

  Can I have the following method in a DLL and call it from a Client, like this // DLL file void DllFunction (std::vector<int> &B) { B.push_back(1); } ---------------------- // Client file void SomeFunction () { std::vector<int> A; DllFunction(A); } When I try to do this I get a runtime error in _CrtIsValidHeapPointer (dbgheap.c) when SomeFunction returns.

• Windows Forms DataGridView: Location of a HeaderCell

  I've seen the posts about getting the rectangle for any particular cell using DataGridView.GetCellDisplayRectangle(). For a HeaderCell, I can get the size, but not the location (without computing it based on column widths, which is painful as they resize in any order.) I can compute the location based on the rectangle for the cell in the first row, but not if there isn't one. I want to add a row of blank cells just below the header to allow the ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to add Controls to ListView Control??/

  Hi Im trying to develop a calendar control that is similar to outlook. Initially I was planning to use a listview and add the controls on the listview whenever an appointment is created. But the control is exactly not added to the listview but to the form. When I change the size of the form then the controls obviously are out of place. I was wondering is there a way to add a control to ListView. Or is there any other control than listview that f ...Show All
