  I'm getting the following error when attempting a build via TFS Dec CTP: "TF42052: The file system on the build machine does not support access control lists.

• Windows Forms Buttons for each item in a listbox?

  hi, I have managed to draw buttons for each item in a listbox, by overriding the OnDrawItem event. My plan is to create a button object that will replace the drawn button for the item the mouse is hovering over. I will also need to have a button click event. Now this is where I need guidance. Anyone have any ideas on how I should approach this Thanks in advance, quincy Hi quincy, I am just including a simple code snippet. You can tweak this according to your requirements. When you want to create the button programmatically write the following: Button b1 = new Button(); b1.Text= " ...Show All

• SQL Server User-Defined Datatypes based on abstract classes

  I am trying to create a set of spatial datatypes for SQL Server 2005. Each datatype inherit from the abstract class "Geometry". ie.   public class Point : Geometry   public class Line : Geometry   public class Polygon : Geometry ...and several more. The reason for using the abstract class Geometry, is that they all share a common set of functions that return a Geometry object. For instance   Geometry Intersection(Geometry g1, Geometry g2)   bool Geometry.Within(Geometry g2)   Polygon Envelope(Geometry g) etc.. The problem is that when I deploy the assembly to the database, I'm told that the Parameter "Geometry" ...Show All

• Windows Forms Labels next to DataGridView nicely aligned at 120 dpi, but off at 96 dpi

  Hi All, I have a DataGridView with label controls to the left and outside of that control to label each row. This DGV is meant to have a fixed size, number of columns, and number of rows. I did the initial layout at 120 dpi, and everything looks great running at that setting. But when running at 96 dpi, the rows in the DGV seem to get taller. A vertical scrollbar appears, and the labels are of course now misaligned with the rows to which they are supposed to correspond. Does anyone know how to stop this from happening BTW, the containing dialog has Form.AutoScaleMode set to "Dpi" already, which generally takes care of ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Microsoft Access Chart Question

  I have a graph that i'm trying to display showing the history of a few fields. There are 2 tables: Person and PersonHistory... For each person there is 1..many records in person history... So the chart would show the trend of these fields in PersonHistory over time (week_ID is one of the records in personhistory...)

Also on this form is a check box for each statistic that would let the user determine what to show on the graph (it defaults to having all show up)... 1) I have it working now that as yo ...Show All

• Windows Forms Binding DataTable to DataGridView column

  The problem: I have a table and I want DataGridView to display this table in correct order: some fields should contain comboboxes . When I bind DVG to DataTable all generated fields except bool(Access Yes/No fields) are TextBox'es. If I create columns manually and bind DVG to the table in the DataSet DVG generates new columns and bind them to table. Turning autogeneratecolumns off doesn't solve the problem. I could create a separate combobox, hide it and show when user points to the specified column in order to imitate combobox in DVG but this solution looks ubnormal. Please provide information how to bind handmade colu ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) HierarchicalDataTemplate, ItemsSource and CollectionViewSource

  Hello! Is there a way to specify, in XAML, that a HierarchicalDataTemplate may have it's ItemsSource object to be wrapped by a certain CollectionViewSource (The instance of CollectionViewSource could for instance provide sorting of the ItemsSource collection) If yes, may you provide a hint, please ! Best regards, Henrik Dahl Hi Henrik, The data binding team has been discussing that scenario pretty extensively lately. Unfortunately, the decision for V1 is not to support that, but we will for sure consider it again for V2. I think this will be a pretty common scenario, and we should allow i ...Show All
