• Windows Forms TableLayoutPanel

  Within a user control, I am dynamically creating a TableLayoutPanel at runtime and then adding controls to it. Basically, I want it to have 4 columns of equal width (25% each). I have no problems other than when the table is created, the first column is certainly much wider than 25% (more like 60%) and the remaining columns are of equal width. My code for creating the table is as follows: TableLayoutPanel tab = new TableLayoutPanel (); tab.SuspendLayout(); tab.Dock = DockStyle .Top; ColumnStyle defaultColumn = new ColumnStyle ( SizeType .Percent, 25); tab.ColumnStyles.Add(defaultColumn); tab.Aut ...Show All

• SQL Server UpdateText() not working

  I'm trying to run the following SQL against my column, Testtbl.Task I want to replace where the ampersand sign got HTML encoded to "&", and I want to strip it down to only the ampersand sign and delete the "amp" and the ";", that's why my parameters for the UpdateText are 0 and 8 with no update text value.

• Visual Studio Problems opening an MSBuild Project file in VS Beta 2

  Hello I am finding that the beta 2 is unable to open an existing msbuild project file in the editor.  Previously it would just open and be recognised as a form of XML file in the text editor.  Now when I double click on the file in the solution list it draws the tab on the editing pane, with the correct name on it, but does not display the file.  The redraw process for the screen area for the file stops. I can still switch to other files and carry on editing, but when I switch back to this file the display has still not been updated. Is it that VS is trying to be clever and edit the file in some special editor   Is there ...Show All

• Visual Studio SourceSafe Internet Plugin and IIS on W2K Server

  I have setup a VSS database on a file server and installed VSS 2005 on our web server. I followed the directions in the MSDN "How to: Set Up Database Access via Visual SourceSafe (Internet) Plug-In" (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms230206.aspx) When I reached "To enable Internet Access for an Existing database on a different computer than the web service" step #7 things got weird. First the VSS Web Service is running on a Domain Controller so it did not appear in the "Computers" list (sub-step 2) rather it appeared inthe "Domain Controllers" list. So I opened it's properties (sub-step 3). Th ...Show All

• SQL Server Debugging acting weird

  Hi! I have VS2005 RC1 and SQL Server 2005 September CTP installed on the same machine. I'm writing some pretty simple C# stored procedures and I'd like to be able to debug them with with the VS2005 IDE.  However, something's not working.  When I set a breakpoint and I run the code (F5), it turns white with a red border informing me that "the breakpoint will not currently be hit.  No symbols have been loaded for this document".  Obviously, those breakpoints are not hit and I cannot debug exceptions either.  I made sure the connection the project is linked to has "ApplicationDebugging" and "Allow SQL/CLR Debuggin ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Matrices

  I've been puzzling over the matrix theory stuff and I think I understand matrices pretty well now.  Here are some of the comments I wrote down as I understood them. I know, its easy if you know it, but I'm happy because I feel like I made a breakthrough.    The matrix is merely something you pass the device to tell it what to do with all subsequent vertices sent to it. You send it any vertex data to the device and it goes through one end and pops out the other and all transformed.                           &n ...Show All

• Windows Forms FIX: MaskedTextBox and Databinding Date fails with inital digit of 0

  Problem : If I bind a DateTime field to a masked text box with the default short date mask, the value fails to recognize a leading 0 and shifts all other digits one place to the left.   Solution : Select the MaskedTextBox.  Expand Databindings in Properties.   Click on the ellipses for “(Advanced)” A dialog box appears where you can set a custom format.   Choose custom and select MM/dd/yyyy as the custom format. I posted this because I looked everywhere trying to find an answer without success.  The Ladybug site (Bug ID FDBK21883) does not give an adequate answer. Hope it helps someone. Bryan ...Show All
