• SQL Server Is there a style sheet or theme sheet available for reports

  I'm currently building several reports which need an identical look/feel to them. I know that I could create a template which would incorporate any of its properties into any new report that uses it. However, it doesn't look like those properties are inherited by the child report. I need to be able to modify the look/feel of all my reports and I'd rather not have to make updates to each individual report. Is there a way to either set up the temp ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Feature request - Check in approvals

  One feature I think could be very useful in the next version of TFS is Check In Approvals. Some users should be configured so that their change set is not fully checked in until it is approved. This is a big help for new team members who are making code changes. It will also be helpful for core framework code where an architect wants to review what code was changed before it is checked in because it affects everyone. thanks, Andre ...Show All

• Visual C# How to find a System Tray Process

  Hi, I'm trying to retrieve a process from the System Tray programmatically. My program starts the process and then saves the Process object. Later, the program tries to locate the process and bring it to the front (in focus). For all processes that do not reside in the system tray, I can do this with no problems. When I call AppActivate on a process that is in the SystemTray, the ArgumentException is raised. Does anyone know how to ret ...Show All

  I have a DataGridView bound via a BindingSource to a typed DataSet. Every row is read-only except for a checkbox column bound to a boolean. I want to detect any changes to the checkbox column. Originally I intercepted CellValueChanged, which worked fine, but since setting the SelectionMode to FullModeSelect this event does not fire. What should I be trapping Thanks Mark - that works great.
