• .NET Development Percentage Sign in DataTable.Select()

  I'm using the Select method of the DataTable in .Net 2.0 in order to return a DataRow[] which match a set of criteria. One of those columns contains strings and I want an exact match. The filter parameter of the Select method seems to use a SQL-like syntax where % acts as a wildcard character. However, it's possible for the value of the string to contain a percentage sign. Using the SQL rules solved an earlier issue I had with an apostrophe (I escaped the single apostrophe into a double apostrophe). However, nothing I try seems to convince the Select method to treat my percentage sign as a literal character instead of a wildcard. I've tri ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridViewComboBox

  Using the latest release of 2005. My problem at the moment is really more of a cosmetic one than an acutal serious code/data problem, but its been annoying me all weekend and hopefully someone here will be able to point me in the right direction so I can find a solution.  I have a datagridview in a windows form, and I prebind it to a datatable type.  I load the datatable and it loads/saves to my remote database correctly. My problem arises with a datagridviewcomboboxcolumn.  Upon trying to modify the data inside(when the code is running), I have to click 3 times to actually get the combobox to open and display the choices.&nbs ...Show All

• Visual C# How do I embed an SQL Server Express database with a C# application?

  I haven't been able to find any decent tutorials for easily deploying a C# application with a bundled SQL server 2005 express database. Does anyone have any good information regarding this Using SQL express database is really simple, if you are already used SQL Server. There is only difference in connection string where instead of Setting Data Initial Catalog, you should set AttachDbFilename with file path to your database mdf file. Data Source attribute has to be changed and in case of default installation of SQL Express that is .\SQLEXPRESS One thing about connection is important and that is, authent ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Report not showing in Team Explorer

  If I log in as TFSSetup I can create a report and deploy it. That report shows up on the report site and in Team Explorer. However I have another account which is simply a domain member. This account is in the Content Manager role and has access to TfsWarehouse. I've given the account TfsWarehouseDataReader role memebrship in SQL 2005, which seems to be enough to allow this user to create reports. When I create a report with this user I can deploy the report successfully, the report shows up on the reporting site and I can execute it, both as the current user and when logged in as TFSSetup.

• .NET Development Where should a config file be stored?

  I have written a program that creates an .xml config file if one does not exist. The config is stored in the same folder as the .exe I am using ClickOnce as my deployment solution. (Program written in C#) The problem is that when a user upgrades the program the config.xml file is removed. This causes the user to have to suffer through the setup wizard after every update. How can I prevent the config.xml file from being removed Is there a special directory I should be storing the file in Any suggestions or advice would be greatly welcomed. ;) What JBrown said is the simplest method, but there is also IsolatedStorage.  Pe ...Show All
