• Visual C# Way to Exclude Directories on Reference Searches

  I'm curious if there is a way to exclude a particular project directory from reference searches. The encapsulate Field function of C# is a great time/type saver if the reference search doesn't take forever. However I have a large directory that makes it take forever and I know a fact nothing in it would reference the current field. Is there any way to remove the directory from the reference search to reduce the function execution from 4 minutes back to a few seconds Hi David, I am afraid there is no such a Refactor's setting to exclude a directory for reference search. This seems a product limitation we ...Show All

• SQL Server Querying a really badly designed table

  I am working on an application with a number of tables (which I can't change) that have data of the form a1, b1, c1... a2, b2, c2...a3, b3, c3... The tables contain 5 to 10 sets of data in each row. I want to create a stored procedure to return a cursor with a row for each set of data for a row of the table. I know I can use unions: select a1 as a, b1 as b , c1 as c... from sometable where pk=@pk union select a2, b2, c2... from sometable where pk=@pk union select a3... Is there a way that is more efficient (eliminates requerying the table and all the unions) While the structure rema ...Show All

• Visual Basic HelpCursor on Menu

  Hi all, I need to enable context sensitive help in my application. For this when user clicks on a menu item( "Whatis this"), i would change the cursor to a help cursor. I used system.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Current = System.Windows.Forms.Cursors.Help As this code did not help in changing the cursor, i modified the code to Me.Cursor = System.Windows.Forms.Cursors.Help This code indeed worked. But when i move the cursor over a item in the menu, it changes back to the default cursor. Can someone tell me a way by which the cursor would remain as a help cursor irrespective of the item the cursor hovers over. Thanks, Suga ...Show All

• Windows Forms Easy way to format textbox without negative numbers

  It is nice in 2005 to use Bindings, Advanced for a textbox and select a numeric format.  One problem I am having, however, is that I see no way to tell VS that I want numeric formatting, but I do not want the textbox to accept numbers that are less than zero.  Is there an easy way to do this What I think would be the smartest option is what I would hope MS would provide, which is a text box class that can have filters on it based on certain logical rules. So for example, if you want the textbox to check the inputted value for only positive numbers, the control would be used something like th ...Show All

  Hi guys, I have experienced a problem with a SQL Server 2005 SP1 upgrade, where hotfix.exe reported an error during the SSIS component upgrade, and then the SSIS service would not start back up. I have since attempted an additional SP1 upgrade on the server, which completed successfully, however the SSIS service still will not start.
