• Windows Forms DataGridView unbound column not updated.

  Hi, I'm binding to a set of data using the BindingSource control and a DataGridView. In the data I have various that contain enum values the need looking up for there text descriptions. What I descided to do was to create an unbound column and respond to the CellFormatting event on the DGV; in the event, when the column index is my unbound column I lookup the enum value (as given from the datasource[Row]) and set e.Value (e being the event args). This does not update the cell, even though the value being set is correct. Move the mouse over the cell and it is fine. If I remove the unbound column and display the bound enum value column but sti ...Show All

• Visual C# Deployment

  I quite like the deployment mehtod of VS 2005 but have a niggle and wonder if there is a work around. Sometimes I write a simple console application that needs to run from a command line or batch file. If I deploy the application it is not in the path, nor is it in a fixed directory such as \Program Files\..., nor available to other users apparently. The work around is to install then copy the exe manually (after I find it) to a known place, downside is uninstall and reinstall means do it again or else wonder why your fix does not appear to fix on the target machine but does on the development machine. Is there a &qu ...Show All

• Visual Basic XP Firewall, Port Blocking and OneClick

  My app uses sockets to communicate, and Click-Once for installation (allowed to run locally.) After every update the XP firewall asks to unblock my app. Is there any way to tell XP that I'm the same app, even though (because of where one-click installs) I'm running from a different folder Users end up with dozens of instances of my app in their firewall exceptions list. Thanx! ---Mike There is no way to inform XP that two different exes comming from two different folder are actually the same app (or update to the same app in this case) I believe (never tried it myself) that using the "netsh firewall . ...Show All
