• Smart Device Development Edit data in data grid

  I am using VS2005 standard and an IPAQ hx4700 with windows mobile 2003 second addition. I created a form Application with a data grid for my Pocket pc 2003 device. The grid recovers the data from SQL server but will not let me edit any field. If I make the same application for standard windows using the same data adapter and data set, the grid allows me to edit. What do I need to do so I can edit the data on the Mobile NETCF DataGrid is read only. You need editable DataGrid to edit data or you can use separate forms for that. There are several 3rd party grids for NETCF as well as ways to e ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Whats the point?

Yet computing has been through all of those pahses and we've survived.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPFBeta2 change - MarkupExtension.ProvideValue - IServiceProvider

  Hello! I used the ColorPicker in a sample and when I recompile this in the beta2 CTP I get this error message No overload for method 'ProvideValue' takes '2' arguments at this Code line this .SetValue(ColorProperty, (( MarkupExtension )binding).ProvideValue( this , ColorProperty)); because at the Feb CTP the ProvideValue method works like this ProvideValue(object targetObject, object targetProperty) But in the new beta2 version the parameters changed to IServiceProvider.

• Windows Forms What's the purpose of 'PreviewKeyDown ' event?

  What's the purpose of new 'PreviewKeyDown' event The doc doesn't say much. Is the only difference that it occurs before the 'KeyDown' event If everyone start using this instead, won't it simply replace 'KeyDown' When should I use one or the other I found this excellent answer: http://blogs.msdn.com/jfoscoding/archive/2006/01/26/518181.aspx " If you've struggled before with having to override a class in order to set IsInputKey=true so you can get arrow keys for your control, you can now also use the PreviewKeyDown event." That's apperently what's is for. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Getting ready to install Vista

  Hello, On a new hardrive so can you tell me the best set up please i.e. do I need two partitions etc and if so what sizes. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place but I am new to the beta program and these forums. Thanks for your time. Hey, Glad to hear that it is now working! For 5112 (Beta 1), there's an issue that USB modem doesn't work properly. However I'm unaware if this is resolved in the 5219 build. For booting from a USB Device (external hard disk), this isn't a supported scenario, due to numerous reasons. You can't install Windows (any version) on external hard disk. Also, the product key that (s ...Show All

• Visual C# Is it ok to reuse the designer in my app?

  Hi all, I'm currently working with exposing parts of the designer in my app, purely as a visual way to express things like location and size for objects. I'm not trying to recreate the ide or anything, just provide a convenient way of altering an object's properties visually. I have a toolbox which contains my primitive objects, and a design surface which hosts those objects. I have all the goodness of custom properties and type designers working smoothly. Before I go too far out of the alpha stage, I'd like to be sure that I can legally do so. I've tried to read the legal things, but I just don't grok (Yes, I read the book when I was youn ...Show All

• Visual Basic Using Namespace in vb.net is not as good as in c# why?

  I was wondering why ms decided to have the way they set up the namespaces differently between the language. c# when creating a new projects it adds the namespace to the code as well as the property. in vb it only adds to the property of the project and if you try to add it to the code it will create a double one. eg MyCompany.Application.Employee Namespace MyCompany.Application.Employee public class stuff end class end namespace calling the above class will create a silly MyCompany.Application.Employee.MyCompany.Application.Employee this doensnt happen in c#. Also if you delete the root namespace in the properties to have total freedom t ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Using and querying custom property sets/items

  Hi In terms of the Windows Indexing Service and IFilters you can register custom property sets and return data for these custom properties when your IFilter is called. In the MSN-DS (WDS) dev guide at http://addins.msn.com/devguide.aspx they mention that your IFilter should return values for all properties that it finds for the item types it indexes. However the docs go on to state that : For a complete list of supported properties used by Desktop Search, see: C:\program files\MSN Toolbar Suite\DS\<VERSION>\en-us\Data\Config\msscolmn.txt Which is a fixed subset that won't know anything about custom property sets that ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Code Profiling for ASP.NET application

I had a file system ASP.NET application, run in http://localhost:1351/MyAspApp . I wanted to use code profiling to test the performance, so I followed the MSDN Library to set the performance session through Performance wizard.
