• Windows Forms PrivateFontCollections and PrintPreview controls

  I am having a heck of a time getting a Printing.PrintDocument and a print preview control to use fonts in a private font collection. I've got a simple form that contains a textbox (for the TTF file path), a label and a Print Preview control. On load, the form adds the TrueType file to the Private Font Collection. A font, scoped to the form class is created from the PFC and assigned to the label. The label, as expected, redraws itself using the new font. Finally, a PrintDocument is assigned to the printpreview control. The PrintPage event renders some text using the new font. However, what is displayed in the print preview control look ...Show All

In .NET its even worse. You just won't get to override anything that paints. I even tried overriding the PreProc ...Show All

  Hi! On an existing MergePullSubscription (Subscriber: SQL Express) I call the SynchronizeWithJob() method. But each time, the following exception occures: ExecutionFailureException: The specified pull subscription is not configured with a synchronization agent job.

It also has an Alter method which will make the changes that have occurred to the table.  However, is there any way to get the script that the alter method is using to alter the database/table Alter seems to return void and I can't find any other way to get the script that SMO is using or any other way to get the script that is used in an alter.  Am I looking in the wrong place or is it not possible to get the alter script Thanks, Ashton ...Show All
