• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) date picker not available, someone already working on it?

  Okay, so I'll be the first to whine about this: it's been said in some video's and a few blog posts that there will not be a datetimepicker for avalon provided by microsoft. Is that true If so, is someone working on this / planning on going to work on it I'm probably going to need this pretty soon, and I think it's a bit too involved to just do myself. Regards Ruurd, Thank you for raising this question. DatePicker will not be in v1 but will be very likely in later release. We are looking into providing DatePicker sample for use in interim.

• Visual C++ Visual C ++ Runtime Library, Abnormal Program Termination

  I have had some issues with this for some time until I managed to locate a few examples in the knowledge base. My problem was that on boot up I received the Abnormal Program Termination with a program link attached. The string ended in {setup\hpzrcv01.exe I remembered viewing a comment from one individual who mentioned to uninstall any recently installed software. Well in my case it was a Hewlett Packard Printer.I had deleted the printer, so I thought but had not gone to the trouble to uninstall it properly, soooooo!!!! by some unknown reason it was trying to complete the setup on boot up, as indicated by the tail of the string. I followed t ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to pad a structure size to 32-bit?

  My game book using C++/win32/dx suggests to either pad my structures to 32-bit manually, or by using a macro (easy way). Since each structure would be padded to 32-bit, this would definitely increase speed. I looked around the web and the docs, but I don't see this macro he briefly talked about. Does anyone know what it is Take a look at the #pragma pack directive described at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2e70t5y1.aspx Also, __declspec(align(#)) at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/83ythb65.aspx might be helpful.

  Hello everyone, I am having a problem creating a 'In-proc' , "Singleton" ActiveX Control using ATL 3.0.

• Visual Studio Team System Where to get link for SQL Server 2005 April CTP Developer edition and Standard Edition

• Windows Forms DataGrid & Visual Studio.NET 2003

  Hello, I have derived my own datagrid component from the one readily available in visual studio .net 2003 (using .NET framework 1.1). When I include the component in my project, I have noticed the following annoying behaviour: (*) Visual Studio .NET generates code for some additional DataGridTableStyles. To be honest, I think I've erased the code for hundreds of these, and they still keep appearing. It seems every time I make a modification to my DataGrid by using a designer (but not only in that case, there are others that I couldn't notice), VS generates code for a new DataGridTableStyle and adds it to my table. This does "wonders" to my ...Show All

  I'm loading XML via jdbc driver and am getting the following error: SETISOLATION_FAILED [dbinstancename]A transaction that was started in a MARS batch is still active at the end of the batch.  The transaction is rolled back. Here's the reason for this error message (check Using Multiple Active Result Sets (MARS) topic in Books Online): A batch or stored procedure which starts a manual or implicit transaction when MARS is enabled must complete the transaction before the batch exits.

• Windows Forms Databing a grid with web service object

  I was using a datagrid binding it with a web service object, i was just wondering whether it is better to bind a grid with the webservice object directly or using certain datasets to bind the datagrid to the webservice object. Please help me understand what you mean by "bind to the WebService directly"   Normally, you'll make a call on a web service method and it will return data and you bind to that data.  You can pass a DataSet back from your web service if you want to use DataSet binding - however, this is not required in order to get your WebService to work with data binding.
