• Visual Studio Express Editions Windows Control Component reference?

  Howdy Folks, I'm trying to learn C++ and how to use Visual C++ Express. I've been digging around looking for a reference for the control components located in the Toolbox, but I can't find it.

• Visual C++ Halting Keypresses?

  Hi all,     I am writing a program that is supposed to lock a user from the common key presses, i.e. Alt + F4, Crtl+Alt+Del, etc.  I know I have to have case WM_KEYDOWN:     switch(wParam)     {     //The Keypresses     }     break; My problem is that I do not know how to halt the keys from doing anything.  I am certain that VK_F4 is for the F4 key, but how do I link alll of the keypresses of one command together, i.e. the keypresses for the Task Manager.  I also need to know how to make the window, that will disappear, to keep windows ...Show All

• Visual C# C# Generic Constraint Improve Way?

  C++ template use constraint by signature,It's very flexible to programmer but complex for complier, and at most time programmer can not get clear error message from complier if error occur. C# generic use constraint by type,complier is relaxed, but it is very limited and even sometime tedious to programmer. Is there a way to get merits of both (NOTE: I think the all-important purpose of develope tools is to let programmer relax, not the complier !!!

• Windows Forms Grid and BindingSource object change

  I was working thru an excellant example by Robert Green of Microsoft entitled Walkthrough: Smart Client Data in Visual Basic 2005.  This was for Visual Studio 2005 beta 1.  Using beta 2 there seems to be a significant change.  When I worked thru this example the DataConnector object has been replaced with a BindingSource object.  Why is this and how do I implement the one to many form using this new object   You are correct in that this has changed and we are working on updating the sample.  Rather than use the "Add related..." smart tag, you can now do this more naturally ...Show All

• Visual Basic Problems with Primary Key and Identity

  OK I have a table called tblExemptions in a .mdf file. It is related to another table called tblPersonnel. My problem is that I have a column named exemptionID in tbleExemptions that is set as a long int. In the properties I have it set as an identity, with the identity increment set at 1 and the seed at 1. Now for some reason if I view it as a datagrid view, it will not update the exemptionID field. Everytime I try to commit the changes I get errors saying that NULL is not allowed. Which of course it isn't. Now if I use the Show Table Data view inside the IDE then the field updates itself. It's only whne I am running the application. Please ...Show All
