• Windows Forms Creating Custom Dialogs

  Hi, I try to create a custom dialog in VS2005(C++), but the result is, that the dialog’s behaviour is like a "normal" control. It should behave like all the standard dialogs, which means, that you can place the control at design time on the "component tray" like i.e. the printDialog. Searching around, I found, that I have to set: TopLevel to false, and the FormBorderStyle to none/FixedDialog. But this is not working for me. What’s going wrong Best regards, Carl Aha... well... These two items you see in that menu are simply a shortcut, for convenience. In the same menu you will also see 'Add ne ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to load conditions from a .rules file in a designer hosting application?

  I want to let my designer hosting application be able to read conditions from a .rules file after it reads a workflow from a .xoml file. What can I do The rule editors and related classes use the WorkflowDesignerLoader. They call the FileName property to get the "name" of your workflow file (I put name is quotes since you don't really have to have a file - you might be storing your workflow in a database. Then they call GetFileReader - passing in that name with .xoml or .cs with .rules (so if you pass back foo.xoml - they will pass foo.rules to GetFileReader). You return a TextReader. They they ...Show All

• Visual Basic Listview Question

  I have a listview that contains data that I'm pulling back from a database, which works great. Now I want to add a URL to the end of a description field, when certain criteria is meet, and that works. The problem that I have is that the URL is not clickable within the listview. Is there a setting I'm missing like the richtextbox detecturl's for the listview, or is there another way to recognize that text as a link so that I can do a onclick event Secondly, once I get the click working, I'll want to add an image rather than the URL in the listview, is it possible to load an icon sized image in the listview for the url Hi Jeff, ...Show All

• SQL Server Reporting Local mode images and text

  I am attempting to put an image on a report and place a textbox over top of the image. The image is a certificate of completion and the textbox is the person's name. When I put the image on the report it forces the textbox to print under the image. It sounds like you're using the Webforms viewer. Overlapping report items are not supported when rendering to HTML. If a report item overlaps another item, the items are arranged so that they do not overlap. Some more information: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156022(SQL.90).aspx -Chris ...Show All

• .NET Development xmldocument.validate exception handling

  Hello All, I am writing a Web Method that when passed a string containing a path to an XML document it will get that document and validate it using xmldocument.validate. I know that the validate method takes an event handler. When validate fails I would like to pass a message back to the web service consumer. This is what I have so far. Does any one have a better suggestion One that fits a standard. I think part of my problem with this solution is that I am throwing a new exception back to the web method. Forgive my lack of understanding, but how do I send a string back to the web method from the event handler. Thanks, prosimma ...Show All

• SQL Server Update fields on n-side of 1:n-relation

  I have some tables with 1:n-relations. Now I want to update the n-side of the relation. Whatever i do the result is always: Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted ... Both number and internalNumber are unique in table k, which is the 1-side of the relation. Ab is one of the n-side tables. UPDATE Ab SET knr = (select k.internalNumber from Kunden as k where kNumber=k.number) In my opinion there should be one kNumber at a time and for each kNumber exists exactly 1 record in k. The following gives the same result: UPDATE Ab SET knr = k.internalNumber from Kunden as k w ...Show All
