• .NET Development When to use TableAdapter.Update(DataTable) method?

  I'd like to know how can I use the TableAdapter.Update method so that I can update the database that I use whenever a user adds, modifies or deletes a row in a datagridview control. I suppose that I should handle the CurrentItemChanged event of the BindingSource that the DataGridView uses but I'd like to see a full example. In other words I'd like to create a WinForms application with a DataGridView that has the same capabilities as the DataGrid form for the Sql Tables in the Sql Server Management Studio. I know that it's a lot to ask but nevertheless this is something that is missing from the .NET Framework examples and walkthroughs. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) C# Properties and WCF

  Hi together, sorry for that question, but I am a newbie to WCF. I have read in the SDK about different contract types like ServiceContract, DataContract etc. Now I only want to expose a class which has one property to a client. How could I do that Do I have to generate a service contract or is there a more simpler way to handle this. For example I want to expose that class to a client: public class DataExchange { private in m_MyData; public int MyData { get{ return m_MyData; } set{ m_MyData = value; } } } So is it enough to write [DataContract] public class DataExchange { private in m_MyData; [Data ...Show All
