• Windows Forms binding combobox.text not compatible with arrow keys?

  I have a combobox manually filled with a couple of items. I want to bind the combo to a dataset to store the value selected. As there is no datasource for the combo and no valuemember set, I am binding to the text property rather than the selectedvalue. Is this right Whilst this works fine when selecting an item from the combo using the mouse, if I use the keyboard (arrow keys), the text in the combo changes, but the change is not registered with the bindings, so when I come to save, I get a nullexception. I believe that binding to the text property uses the textchanged event which after checking, does not get fired when using the arrow ke ...Show All

• .NET Development inline query vrs sqlcommand duration

  Hi, I am migrating a client-server application to a N-tier using webservices. Now client connect to the server using webservices which execute queries to a SQL Server 2000 database. The old application was using inline queries (" WHERE CustomerId = '" + customerId +"'";.... Now I am using SqlCommands but I have detected a real slow down in the performance, running a query that retrieves 7000 records for example it takes upto 16 seconds more than older application. I suspected that was because of the XML serialization so I moved to remoting with binary serialization and reduced the time to 8 seconds, still way too ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro How to play a Windows Media Audio format (WMA) in VFP?

  Hi all, I am now trying to create a small program to play media audio files. I'm now using the MultiMedia ActiveX control (mci.ocx) to play these files but this ocx seems can not play WMA files while this type of file is getting more and more popular to music-lovers. Could anyone tell me how to play WMA files in VFP. Note:I want to play them directly in VFP with MCI control or with some API function that VFP can handle, do not have to use ActiveX of 3rd party (If have to use ActiveX of a third party to play , i can create one for my own in VB6). Do you have the latest codecs installed, right my two cents, ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Creating Relationships Between SQL Tables: Foreign Key

  I would like to create a relationship between two tables - much like that demonstrated in the VB Absolute Beginner series (lesson 8). But a CE SQL database does not have the Database Diagram tool in the Server Explorer window. How is this acomplished without the Database Diagram tool Oddly enough I had forgotten about this and moved on to other learning activities. But I revisted it and you are correct. It's just that you cannot invoke it in the same way as if you were designing for a desktop. Clicking the .xsd brought it up and then I was able to drag a new ValidationTableAdapter to my InventoryTableAdapter tab group. Neato! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Request Failed: Unable to connect to remote server

  I've seen several people post this error, but none of the suggested solutions have resolved my issue. This seems very simple to me, so I'm sure I am missing something very basic. I am very new to using Visual Studio for testing, so please bare with me. I have a local ASP.NET 2.0 application that strictly uses Windows security. I have recorded a very basic web test that navigates to one page within my application and that is all. When I run the test, I get a "Request Failed: Unable to connect to remote server" error. I have verified that the proxy setting is blank. I've recorded several other tests against .aspx pages and .htm pa ...Show All

• .NET Development Performance of ADO.Net in CLI Console app vs Windows Forms app

  I have been playing with ADO.Net and at first, I created a CLI console application, where I did different things, such as querying the schema collections of a database. I then created a Windows Forms application and did similar things (wrote code from scratch). What strikes me is that some simple calls that took no time under the console app now take a long time under Forms. I use VS C++ and SQL Server 2005 Express on a Win2000 PC and the ODBC provider factory. I establish a DbConnection to the database via ODBC data source, which was manually set up using the ODBC control panel. When I make the simple call: MyDataTable = myDbConnectio ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Visual Studio 2005 : Entrek CodeSnitch issue

  Hi everyone, I'm using the 3rd party tool CodeSnitch from Entrek. I've been using this tool for my development on eVC++ 4.0. I now have some issues using this tool with VS 2005. The problem that I have is that CodeSnitch seems to make changes to the .exe on the device after I've deployed it to it. Which didn't seem to be a big deal in eVC++ 4.0, but VS 2005 always re-deploys the application when I start to debug it. I couldn't find any option to turn that "auto" deploying behavior off. Does somebody know whether that is possible Thanks, Stefan Hi Stefan, I don't think that there is a totally clean solut ...Show All
