• Visual Studio Team System Uninstalling SDK samples

  Hi I've built the SDM SDK samples and after playing with them I now want to uninstall them. Using control panel->remove software which runs the WiX uninstaller created for each project doesn't get rid of the icons still showing on the toolbox... is the uninstalling process supposed to properly get rid of registry entries I was expecting the uninstaller to totally clean any samples traces in VS... am I wrong Uninstalling the msi with samples (that Wix uninstaller you have mentioned) will remove all of the files and registry keys. The issue is that the VS toolbox caches a prototype the first time it is ...Show All

• Smart Device Development formatting a datagrid

  Ok - I have a datagrid bound to a SqlCeDataAdapter grid.DataSource = myDataSet.Tables(0) I want to apply a dataGridTableStyle to format the grid nicely ts.MappingName = "procedureHistory" Dim procedureDate As New DataGridTextBoxColumn procedureDate.MappingName = "procedureDate" procedureDate.HeaderText = "Date" ts.GridColumnStyles.Add(procedureDate) etc etc for the other colums grid.TableStyles.Add(ts) But it doesn't work - the grid still has the default formatting -  I guess it's cause the datasource.tables property just references an index, and this doesn't correspond to the ts.mappingName perhaps To go back a st ...Show All

• Visual Studio Custom coloring using MPF

  The documentation mentions the following for creating custom colorable items: - Set RequestStockColors to 0 or leave it untouched (Left it untouched) - Define your own ColorableItems in the constructor of LanguageService - Override GetItemCount and GetColorableItem methods of LanguageService I followed the above steps and still the custom colorable items do not show up in Fonts and Colors property page on Options dialog box. I made sure that the names of the colorable items are different from the existing ones. I am using October RTM version of SDK. What else needs to be done Thanks in advance.   ...Show All

• SQL Server Issue with Export to CSV

  Dear Anyone, Whenever we export reports to CSV, it seems that the column headers in the CSV fileb are the actual column names in the select statement we used in the data set and not the column names that are in the report. Is there a way to reflect the column names in the report to the CSV file rather than the actual physical column name in the report Thanks, Joseph As there is no explicit binding in RDL between the data columns and the header columns, CSV export uses the names of the controls in the export. You can either change the textbox name or you can override the name using the DataElementName property (on the data tab of the te ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions HAD Beta 2 But do not have uninstaller

  I had beta 2 of VB.net Express and Web Developer. I don't have the uninstaller anymore, but I do have a lot of registry items to remove. Some of them are easy, of course look for v.8.0 and for Express 2005, but I want to make sure I get them all. Does anyone have a list of what I need to remove And to make sure I didn't forget any files, anyone have a list of the files to delete Or, even better, if anyone has the beta 2 to install so that I can use the uninstall method, that would be great. The two methods posted do not work. I use that special uninstaller, and it can't remove anything, probably looking for an uninstaller that no longer exis ...Show All
