• Windows Forms Can I access the DataTable_ColumnChanged Event..............

  Can I access the DataTable_ColumnChanged Event.............. of the child form from the parent form \ Thanks Yes. Parent form should see ChildForm.Datatable You should "AddHandler ChildForm, AddressOf ParentForm.ChildDataTable_ColumnChanged" in the parent form. Obviously you have to declare the ChildDataTable_ColumnChanged sub also ;) Doing this will attach an event handler for ColumnChanged events raised by that dataset. ...Show All

• Visual C# static/const/readonly variable...

  I must be missing something simple... I want to have a small struct... I want 3 of the 5 variables to be constant for all instances and the other two to be variable. However, the 3 that are constant come from an xml file.. which must be read in...not an actual string in code... so I've tried things like struct samplestruct { public string constVar1 = xmlval1; //won't compile because you can't instantiate in struct so i tried struct samplestruct { public const string constVar1 = xmlval1; //won't compile because expression must be constant so i tried struct samplestruct { public static string constVar1 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Setting report viewer width

  I am trying to set the width of my report viewer in my asp.net page and for some reason it is not seeing it. It always comes up as 869px. I tried setting it at runtime in the code and in the properties of the reportviewer but no luck.

Now if you try and set the ReportPath to anything you get an "Operation is not valid ...Show All
