• Windows Forms OnPropertyChanged databinding issue.

  We have a binding setup from a TextBox to our business object, the binding DataSourceUpdateMode is set to OnPropertyChanged and the field we've bound to is a String type.  Our object formats the string to be all UPPER case; if we type in an upper case character everything works as expected, however, if we type in a lower case character the cursor position in the TextBox goes back to 0. Is this working properly or is this a bug; and do you have any recommended ways for getting around this Thank you, Phil Our design is we assume the set will succeed or throw an exception.  If it is successful (doesn ...Show All

• Visual C# Showing a Form

  How would I go about showing a form FormName .Show() doesn't work, and I don't know what will. See, I have two forms (Form1 and Form2). When an item from a treeview control that is on Form1 is clicked, I want Form2 to show. I already have the function that runs when the treeview control is clicked (private void treeView1_AfterSelect(object sender, TreeViewEventArgs e)), but I don't know how to display Form2.  When I try Form2.Show(), I get the following error: Error    1    An object reference is required for the nonstatic field, method, or property 'System.Windows.Forms.C ...Show All

• SQL Server Running Create Replication Script

  I am about to replace a SQL Server which is replicated to about 25 computers. The replacement PC (and SQL Server) will have the same name. I intend to generate a Create Replication Script before shutting down the old PC and to run it on the new one. Should I also create and use a Remove Replication script and run it on the old PC before shutting it down I am thinking that I might need to do this to remove Replication infromation from the subcribers before running the Create script. In other words, is it OK (or not OK) to run the Create script with the subcribers already in existence Is there possibly a way to run the Create script on t ...Show All

• Windows Forms Best fit all column for a listview

  Hello. I noticed that when you double click at the end of a column in a listview (details style) the column changes the width so that all the text should fit. Is there any way I can do this at runtime So I would like to do something like BestFitAllColumns() for a list view. Thanks for your future help (I hope ). Hahaaaah I've found a solution!

• .NET Development Video/Audio streaming in .NET C#/C++/VB possibility?

  Hi there, I was googling, however unfortunatelly could not find anything useful in terms of Video/Audio Streaming (webcam to webcam) using .NET C++/C# or VB. I need to develop an application that will allow for cam-to-cam video/audio streaming, if possible any links or hints will be great. Thank you There is nothing inherently built into any concept of streaming. When a producer produces content, a subscriber consumes the content without having to wait until all the data is transfered. What .NET /C# gives you is the ability to transfer data to and from. I am not sure why you want to tranfer video from ...Show All

• Windows Forms Masked Text Box

  Hi, I'm using a masked text box. I'm allowing only a two digit number. The thing is the cursor doesn't automatically align it's self to the left when it's put unto the text box. I think I tried every property available. Is there something I'm missing Thanks in advance...Eric I've found it's better to do it myself for that sort of stuff.  I just handle the KeyPressed event and set Handled to true if Char.IsDigit(e.KeyChar) and Char.IsControl(e.KeyChar) are both false.  In your case, you'd also set it to true if the text of the control was 2 charaters long.   ...Show All

• Visual Studio Reading Strings for MSBuild

• Visual C++ how to convert an int to LPCSTR

  Hi..I was wondering how to convert an int to an LPCSTR for use with a textout function..thanks in advance..code samples would be awesome! You can use _itoa_s (or itoa if you are not using the Secure CRT).  Note that the C means const, meaning that TextOut won't modify it.  But your code needs to provide a pointer (LP) to a char string (STR).   See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0we9x30h  for documentation and code samples. ...Show All
