• Windows Forms Customizing TableLayoutPanelDesigner

  Hello, I'm developing a custom control that is to be used in a custom forms designer that I created. The control should have exactly two cells behaving like cells in a TableLayoutPanel, so I thought I'd build my control as an extension to TableLayoutPanel. Now I need to customize its designer, since I do not need all the design-time options that TableLayoutPanelDesigner offers. Problem is: TableLayoutPanelDesigner is an internal class, and can therefore not be inherited! Now I was wondering what my options are... I was thinking about developing a custom designer from scratch (extending from ParentControlDesigner). How to achieve ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Code Coverage not worknig properly during a team build

  Hello I have a problem with the team builds. In my proj file I have specified to build my solution, to run tests without specifying any test list. All my tests run correctly. I have a web site referencing four other DLLs. As I want to enable code coverage for my DLLs, I have edited the testrunconfig file to enable code coverage. So I select my four DLLs (in release mode) in the CodeCoverage tab of the editor. When I launch my builds, I see results only for two DLLs out of the 4. (Note that one of the 4 DLLs is empty so I can understant not to receive any result for it, but one missing has some code in it and some tests using it ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System MSF Certification

  I completed the 1846A course - and I wish to become an MSF practitioner. What's the certification that I should pursue I can no longer find 74-100 in the exam list (which used to be the MSF Practitioner exam) - the only one that comes close is the 70-301 one. Please advise. There will be some churn in the MSF exams as we transition to MSF v4.0. I suspect that is why the current MSF Practitioner exam has been withdrawn. David ...Show All

• Smart Device Development TextBox OnClick

  (Compact .Net 1.0) TextBox does not have a OnClick EventHandler to use. So I created my own TextBox class and subclassed TextBox and I override OnClick. This compiles but when clicking on the TextBox the method never gets called. Is there any way to get notified when the TextBox is clicked or selected I tried catching the OnGotFocus event, that works great except if the focus is already on the TextBox and the user click on the box again. I need something to capture this case and OnGotFOcus does not get fired. Anu suggestions Thanks You can hook the underlying WM_LBUTTONDOWN or WM_LBUTTON ...Show All

• SQL Server *.msg files cannot be searched in SQL 2005 without extended MAPI

  Hello, I have a table where I store *.msg files. I wanted to use full text search capability within SQL 2005 to search within the *.msg files for its content. There are filters that I can use to do that. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=254432&SiteID=1 But, there is a problem - the problem is that for any of these filters to work one needs extended MAPI on the SQL Server Box. This is highly undesirable to any DBA as the only way to install extended MAPI on a box is to either install the outlook client or an exchange tool. Any suggestions as to what one can do - whether I am right in the first place reg ...Show All

• .NET Development Editing app.config

  As part of creating a Login form, I'm trying to open app.config so that once the user has selected a server, and entered their user name, I can edit the ConnectionString within app.config to include these details (but not the password, of course!), so that the user doesn't have to enter them next time they login.

• SQL Server Calling SSIS packages from within a Script task

  Hello, I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of any sample code or documentation that allows you to execute SSIS packages from within a Script task In SQL Server 2000 DTS this was accomplished by instantiating the DTS.Package object and calling either the LoadFromSQLServer or LoadFromStorageFile method. I have not been able to find any similiar logic in the SQL Server 2005 SSIS environment. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Gordon Radley I have tried as you explained. Nothing happened. I have a top package from here I call another package which co ...Show All

  Anybody either have some good tips, or point me to some sources with good tips for avoiding problems with header file includes when classes reference each other, i.e. class A has a member variable (or reference or pointer to B) and B has a member variable (or reference or pointer to A) Forward declaration tips would also be welcome!

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Left Joins with Multiple Conditions in VBA

  Hello, I am trying to run a query in Excel VBA. The query has a left join with a two conditions -- every time I run it excel crashes. If I remove the brackets enclosing the two conditions, the query fails. The query itself is correct because if I run it directly in Oracle it works. Also I can run it thru excel via Date->Import External Data but not thru VBA. Also if I restrict myself to one condition instead of two it works thru VBA. Any one have any insights into what the problem could be Or any proposed workaround... Thanks in advance.
