• Windows Forms RightToLeft support in PropertyGrid

  Hi, Does PropertyGrid support the RightToLeft property When I set the RightToLeft proprty to YES, all values in the right column are aligned to the right but the PropertyGrid itself does not flip to the right. I would expect the category names and the propery names to be on the right side of the grid, while the property values on the left column. Is th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions MSDN Express Library 2005

  Hi. I am currently installing Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition and I was just wondering why does the MSDN Express Library 2005 need to be installed on my C: partition. I've made it just 5 Gb in size because I only use it to hold my Windows installation, while I keep my apps and data on other partitions. So is the MSDN Express Library 2005 available separately and if so, is it possible to install it elsewhere than on my C: drive And sorry for my weird english, I speak french.   The installer will only allow the express editions to install on the root partition. I was looking for a solution to mo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to disply linked ( lookup ) tables in datagrid view?

  Does any one has an idea, how to disply a data from a parent table and a child table in same row in datagrid view (relation ane-to-many) I would not like to put any additional, calculated fields into parent table and copy data from lookup table. It was simple to do it in MS Access DataSheet view, but it seems imposible in Visual C# datagrid. GridView in .NET 2.0 does not support hierarchical display like Access's data sheet view. You can use DataGrid control from .NET 1.1 if you absolutely want this feature. You will have to add it to the ToolBox first. Right click on ToolBox, select Choose Items, and find Da ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Caught in the backwash.

  I have looked at VB Express. I purchased VB .Net 2002 when it came out, but I always end up going back to VB6. Why I suppose it has more to do with file I/O than anything. I cannot get a handle on the new FileSystemObject. I can never make it work. VB6 is eight years old now, and I would like to move on, but I'm stuck. Well, yes, there are a "few" (well, maybe more than just a few) things that have changed regarding file access, and it can be a bit of a hurdle to figure things out. Once you have grasped the new concepts, though, I believe that you'll find the "new" way more powerful. ...Show All

• SQL Server Authentication in Management Studio

  Hi, I'm attempting to connect to a SQL Server 2005 instance on a Windows 2003 server remotely with Management Studio on a Windows XP box. SQL Server is set to use Windows Authentication. If I select Windows Authentication as the authentication method in Management Studio, the 'user name' field is greyed-out and locked to my current XP user name, which is no good for connecting to the server. Why is this happening and how can I change the user name and password to that of an actual account on the server TIA, CraigyBoop You can’t switch that for integrated security, as "integrated" sec ...Show All

• .NET Development Verifying User's Internet Connection

  I am looking for a way to verify whether the user's computer has a valid internet connection. Is there a function in .Net that will allow the underlying Windows internet connectivity detection to be checked Or do I have to hack something together like running a ping internally Any ideas of suggestions are greatly appreciated. ;) While there is a way of determining if the system has a network connection, there is not to my knowledge a way of determining if there is an actually Internet connection without actually testing for a connection. That's because until you actually test for such a connection, you have no way of kn ...Show All

• Visual C++ _itoa "identifier not found" once ported to VS 2005

  I have recently installed VS 2005 and loaded my VS 2003 project. I quickly realized that I needed/wanted to define "_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE" bc I need to be up-and-running with a clean compile fairly soon. After adding the underscore to many of my string related calls, my only remaining problem is with four existing _itoa() function calls. I get the following compile errors: error C3861: '_itoa': identifier not found Sure, it seems that I have just forgot to include stdlib.h, but of course this is not the case as this is old code. What am I missing I have even created the simplest of VC++ Win32 test programs and adde ...Show All

• Visual Basic Question about moving an app from vb.net 2003 to vs 2005

  I'll be getting my copy of vs 2005 this week and had a question about EnableVisualStyles and how that will work. I just recently learned about enablevisualstyles and have started to apply this to my app. However, vs 2005 has this turned on by defualt and draws the controls to correctly include this be default. Does anyone know what happens to visual styles when bringing an app from vb.net 2003 into vs 2005 I'm hoping that it will apply the correct visual style settings automatically, however I'm a bit optimistic about this. I have a copy of my app that does not have any of the visual style stuff turned on so maybe this one would work bett ...Show All

• Visual Basic excluding app.config from compiling

  Hi, I am trying to setup resource or config files to store database connection info, i.e. server, username, password, port, etc. I currently have the info in the app.config, but when I build the application the app.config is not available for me to change it, i.e. it is compiled into the exe. Should I be using a different file I am using .Net 2003 tnx jctbmw, I'm not 100% sure that I understand what you mean by "the file is compiled into the .exe"... The "normal" supported way for having an app.config file is to add it to your project with the name "app.config". ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Form Designer Bug

  Happened three times now, if a resource isn't found the form designer seems to delete every item from every menubar/toolstrip/statusbar. I then have to go through the designer.cs file and manually add stuff like this to everything. this .menuStrip.Items.AddRange( new System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem[] { this .item1, this .item2, this .item3, this .item4});   A little tedious, to say the least... elliotg2005 wrote: Happened three times now, if a resource isn't found the form designer seems to delete every item from every menubar/toolstrip/statusbar. ] Got the same problem.

• Visual Studio Team System Check out files status

  Hi, Thare is way to get (not with a SQL query) the checked out files status - time that they were checked out Thanks in advance, Shmulik. Yes, you can use "tf status /format:detailed" to get the date/time the change was pended.  Here's an example.  It shows the version being edited (changeset 37875), that the change was pended this afternoon, name of the workspace, the computer and the local path, and the file's encoding (type).
