• Windows Forms BindingSource.Find throws exception on empty DataSet

  I have a problem with a bindindingSource very similar to the problem reported here but I've tried the solution outlined (explicitly setting the bindingSource's DataSource before the call to Find) but it doesn't help me (the DataSources for my BindingSources are correct) - so there's no chance for the DataSources to get set incorrectly. My situation is slightly different because I'm adding the BindingSources from the toolbox (not by ...Show All

• SQL Server Changing Column size/type with Derived Column

  I have a number of date columns that are parsed as DT_WSTR (6) and I have written a Derived Column converting them into DT_DATE via this (found on the forums) type expression: (DT_DATE)(SUBSTRING(Date,6,2) + "-" + SUBSTRING(Date,8,2) + "-" + SUBSTRING(Date,1,5)) But I really want to replace the current column, not create a new one. If I use "replace" the data is forced to be a DT_WSTR (6), and I get a truncation error at run-time. Simeon ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is MSMQ broken??

  The following simple example doesn't work properly.  It was built using VStudio 2005 and both the machines involved have WinFX Nov CTP installed.  It appears that MessageQueue.Receive only works correctly with a queue on the local machine.  This also prevents ServiceHost from working correctly with MsmqIntegrationBinding - which is how I discovoered the problem. I have tried this code in both directions between the two machines wi ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Scaling (Shrinking) Sprite Chops Off Texture...

  I am using the October 2005 Release of DirectX 9.0. When attempting to Scale a Sprite I am running into some very odd behavior. When "growing" the Sprite the Texture stretches and maps fine. When "Shrinking" the Sprite the texture apparently does not shrink - and it gets cut off. I am setting the Transform properly on the Sprite, applying SpriteFlags.AlphaBlend to Sprite.Begin(), and using Sprite.Draw(). Is anyone else ...Show All

• Visual Studio Workes with Beta2, but not with RC1

  I have a Crystal Reports project that uses data from a dataset that is already filled - no database connection needed. It runs fine with Beta2, but under the exactly same conditions with RC1 it asks for a (non existant) database login before displaying the report.
