• .NET Development Resources for DataSet-Designer in VS2005

  Hi, does anybody know any ressources about the DataSet-Designer - how to create Forms from type safe datasets, what the basics of type safe datasets are, how datasets can be created out of stored procedures, how you update type safe datasets during development time when the database still "lives", how to program and extend the functionality with the navigation toolbar, etc Maybe I'm blind, but I didn't find anything that went really deep or covers it in context - neither in the the MSDN nor on the web. Thanks, Klaus Try these articles (see below) if you have not already looked at them. They helped me: This ...Show All

• Visual Basic Child form???

  Excuse me guys. Could someone please tell me how to create what I’m assuming is called a child form (a form that when open takes priority over the main form so I can't access the main form until I’ve closed the child form). Thanks in advance!!! Well i think your talking about modal forms like dialog boxes etc. You would do this by calling the form like so: Form1.ShowDialog() Then the application would be frozen until Form1 is closed. There is the concept of Form owners. You can say this: Dim frm As Form1 = New Form1 frm.Owner = Me frm.Show() what this would acheive is Form1 would be owned by the current f ...Show All

• Visual Basic windows generated code

  When you drag a datatable onto the form and then drag another data table that is linked to the first table, you have created a master/detail database.  I have it working properly but would like to know where the windows generated code is so I can learn how to program that.  I have looked in the Form1.Designer.VB but it is not there.  When I click on a row in the master table, it fills the detail table.  It must do some type of parameter or query.  Where is that code.  Thank you. Hi, I checked into Form1.Designer.vb for the code that you mentioned.  When I ran through an ...Show All

• Visual Basic System.DllNotFound Exception

  I'm migrating from VB 6.0 to VB.NET 2003. There is a particular file abc.dll that I'm not able to add reference to, though its a dll file. When I try to reference it, the error is 'This is a not a valid assembly or COM component. Only assemblies with extension 'dll' and COM components can be referenced. Please make sure the file is accesible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component' How can I reference this file If this is not being seen as a COM component you likely need to do a P/Invoke against it. In your old VB6 project, did you have a few ‘define function’ statements that reference ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) DLinq's way to "SELECT TOP"

  I'm trying to do the following: SELECT TOP 10 FROM tblArticles ORDER by PostDate DESC in DLinq I have this... var articles = from a in db.Articles orderby a.ApprovedDate select a; which does all that except the top 10 part, I can't find any function that does that.

It'd be nice if I could just do return articles; Thanks for the help!! You should check the SampleQueries sample that comes with LINQ (in the Samples directory). It has the answer to your questions ...Show All

• SQL Server .NET Database/General Performance

  Can someone please explain what I'm missing Looks like, from my investigation on the net, that 1500/s is pretty much the upper limit of .NET's ability to insert records. Can anyone tell me why I have tried using UpdateBatchSize properties of 300, 500, 1500, 4500 all of which resulted in a max of 4 seconds difference over 90,000 records. Why can .NET only insert 1500/s when DTS can do roughly a million in a little over a minute, which is approximately 10 times the performance Both were doing only simple inserts. Due to my processing needs and integration with other apps, I really need to do the loading from within the app. I ha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Two questions about ListBox

  hello, Frist question is about ListBox and may be able for other tools How can I enable resize the ListBox control on the form Second : How can I remove only the selected items from listBox1 Best Regards Hi, As to your first question, are you intending to allow users to resize the list box (i.e. the user will click on the list box and drag it to it's intended size like you would a Windows form). If that's what you're gunning for then I don't think that it's possible. One of the gurus around here probably knows a way, but I'm not aware of any. You could do it programmatically by having the user's specify the new size so ...Show All
