• Windows Forms Delete Key DataGrid

  I'd like for users to be able to select a row in a datagrid and press the delete key on the keyboard and have the row deleted. I've got the code written to detect what row they're on and update the dataSet... but I don't know how to handle it when they click the delete key Thanks D-Man. That code works some of the time. When I highlight a row in the datagrid, and then press the delete key, the event isn't captured. Seems like I need to ov ...Show All

• SQL Server Implicit conversions using UDTs

  I've written a CLR UDT that basically wraps a COM FILETIME.  While using and testing this UDT, I've come across some unusual behavior that I can't seem to track down.  My question is this: When I make the T-SQL statements DECLARE @ft dbo.MyFileTime SET @ft = 0x0123456789ABCDEF What's happening within the SET statement   My first surprise was that it succeeded.  Then I thought, "The hex value, I understand, is implicitly a BI ...Show All

• .NET Development Terminating Processes from a Windows Service Cleanly (c#).

  Hi, Recently, I have created a Windows Service in C#; that calls a process (writen previously in c). It starts fine, however im unable to terminate the process cleanly, when the Onstop() is called.   Process.Kill() works, but prevents my process from shutting down cleanly (loses data - that I need). Ideally I need to use the CloseMainWindow() method... but this does not seem to work within a service (as a service does n ...Show All

• SQL Server Images not lining up with text box

  In several of my reports, within the header, I use a small, square, image as a navigation widget to drill through to a related report. Within VS, the report displays fine in both the layout and preview windows; the image is in complete alignment with the textbox on both the right and bottom edge. When I open the report in IE, the right edge remains in perfect alignment, but the bottom edge is 1px higher than the textbox to the left. I have ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Problems playing back video using DirectShow in Full Screen!

  I'm having a problem playing video back in full screen.  The deal is that the interface for the game I'm working on tries to play a video in full screen when the user clicks on the credits button.  Now the weird part is that the video ALWAYS plays reliably in windowed mode, but as soon as we test it in full screen mode, sometimes it works, other times it doesn't.  Has anyone run into this problem and if so, has anyone figured a wa ...Show All
