    - Is there a simple way to add a button to header cell of DataGridVi As usual I'm in too much of a hurry. Is there a simple way to add a button control to a header cell of DataGridView?

    - Image control I need to have a control that I can place on a form that I can view an Image. But here's the catch, I need to view the entire image (no matter the size) in a 400x400 pixel object. Also, I need to be able to to enlarge and shrink the image in the same viewable area. Is there any .Net object that does something similar to this or do I need to enhance an existing object such as the PictureBox? thx...sonny Tag: Help.

    - .Net Winform saving a file to local drive I have an app running on a Citrix server. The user logs in on IE and get their Citrix neighborhood. They run the app and in the app I have a grid component from ComponentOne that has a property called SaveGrid that can save the results in the grid to a file. The user selects their local hard drived and tries to save to a file there and the app is unable to even though they have given Citrix permission to access their local drive. Does the user need to have .Net 2.0 framework on their machine even though the app is running through Citrix? Bill Tag: Help.

    - Serial Communications - baud rate I am using the Serial Port class for serial communications, It is very easy to use but there is one thing I want to do and can't figure out how. SerialPort.GetPortNames() gives me a list of all the Serial Ports on the system. I let the end user select one from the list. I also want to give the user the ability to specify the baud rate for the selected port. However, I could not find an interface that will list all the baud rates for a given port. I looked in the registry and the values did not seem to be there. Anyone know how I can get the supported baud rates for any serial port? Thanks in Advance, Bob Costello Tag: Help.

    - Dynamic controls and postback. I have to modify existing code : Basically, it implemnts tabbed forms. On the pageLoad, the code creates the two selection controls, plus kind of page depending of selected control. On selected control_click, do a page redirect to itself, putting in the url the new selected control. This somewhat works, but when the user clicks on another tab, there is a first rendering of the page with the initial page (page_load + control_click) , then a redirect, then a new page_load with the new controls displayed. How can I ameliorate the round trip time, by rendering the new page in the control_click, and not doing a redirect. I have tried it, but its says invalid view state. So I disabled view state for the tabbed page (it is in a table cell) , but it keep saying control ID already used. (None of the dynamic controls created have ID). Is there a better way to do tabbed forms ? NB asp net 2.0. Thanks. François. Tag: Help. My datagridview columns are being reordered after binding to data object Tag: 112616

    - DateTimePicker - how to show nothing when user has not specified a date? Is there some way to have the DateTimePicker display nothing? I came up with a hack but I was hoping that there was a less offensive method than the horrid little code snippet that fell out of my fingers when I wasn't paying attention. Here's why I need to have the date time picker be able to not display date information. My client wants to display nothing if the underlying data model does not have a datetime value. If the user sets focus in the control then the client wants the date time picker to immediately light up with a default date time. If the user leaves the control without entering a value then it goes blank again. Otherwise, it hangs on to the user's entered value from then on. Here's the hack. When the form is first shown, display the date time picker if the data model's date time is valid. Otherwise, hide the date time picker and display a text box where the date time picker would have been. When text box receives focus, hide the text box, show the date time picker and transfer the focus to the date time picker. On leaving the date time picker, hide the date time picker and display the text box if the user did not enter in a value. If the user did specify a value then leave the date time picker visible and the text box remains hidden. Most of this horrid little code snippet works just fine (or at least as well as one might hope for). However, there is a problem with the text box's tab index. It is set with the same value as the date time picker's but it insists on being someplace very different in the tabbing order. Why is this and how can I fix it? A second little puzzle has to do with the date time picker's Leave event handler being called in response to calling dateTimePicker.Focus(). Why is the Leave event being called? How do I stop this? -- Richard Lewis Haggard General: www.Haggard-And-Associates.com Please come visit here for a couple thousand good giggles!: www.haggard-and-associates.com/Humor/humor.htm Tag: Help.

    - General question about deployment strategies for Dot Net 2.0 Winfo I work in a large corporation with a large amount of legacy code. It is intended to eventually replace the legacy code with Dot Net 2.0 apps. They have a legacy update distribution system that they are rather 'fond' of. (i.e. it isn't going anywhere anytime soon.) It seems to be mostly a copying system, possibly using xcopy. Every machine in the system gets its application updates this way. There is a reluctance to use ClickOnce or the Windows installer. Frankly these applications are for internal use only, the security requirements are not that strict, and the code is not that complicated. Given that, tell me if my assumptions are correct: In general and at a minimum, when compiling a VB Winforms app, all necessary reference dlls and resources are copied into the bin directory. Assuming that the target machine has Dot Net 2.0, all that is needed is to copy the bin directory to the target machine and it should run. (As yet there is no need for shared assemblies or other complications.) Tag: Help. My datagridview columns are being reordered after binding to data object Tag: 112607

    - Mouse roller changes combobox SelectedItem not visible, wich fires SelectedIndexChanged event Hi, My form has several group, combo and textboxs. To make it easier to reproduce I've simplified: 1) one group box with a combobox and a textbox and the combo has the focus; 2) the user first selects and item from combobox and the focus passes to textbox; 3) user doubleclicks on textbox and the current groupbox which fires this: a) current groupbox visible status changes to false; b) based on the information the user selected on the combobox, a DatagridView is displayed in another groupbox, changing focus to it; c) and now, this is the problem, if the user uses the mouse roller then combobox, in the invisible groupbox, SelectedItem is changed and I can't explain why. If the first groupbox stills visible, the problem does not occurs, but that is not an aceptable solution, because the form remains with too much information. I hope my problem has become clear.

    - Forcing a datetime format for all users all over the world Environment : framework 1.1, winforms, webservices, sql server 2000 Architecture of the application : database is hosted behind the webserver. Client winforms application is installed on the client machine and webservice are used to transfer the data from the client exe to the database over the internet. Database\ webserver server is running on GMT time where as the client machines can be running on any time zone and any part of the world. Ado.Net Datasets are used to transfer the data between the client machine to the database over the webservice. My application has 50 forms having thrid party grid controls used all over. since it is gong to be used in all different countries, i want to do force the datetime to have a specific format which is 'dd-mmm-yy hh:mm:ss' for all culture. One way to do it is to hardcode this format in every form's control but i think there might be a better way which is using the cultureinfo object, is there any way to force this object to show a specific format for datetime so that if it is set in one place (like the start of the application) all controls in all forms will show this datetime format. If anybody's got a piece of code, please show me the link. thanks Tag: Help. My datagridview columns are being reordered after binding to data object Tag: 112603

    - Problems creating a custom column within a DataGrid We're doing a project using VS2005. A coworker needs to create a custom column within the old datagrid. (Can't use the new DataGridView for some reason unknown to me.) This column will be a checked list box. I have not worked with the datagrid in some time but I have managed to hack together a test program using leftover code. (The usual techniques. Create a custom tablestyle, add the columns, etc.) The code does work, at least so far as when i click on a particular row, the checklistbox displays and is populated correctly. (The grid itself is bound to pubs.titles. The checkedlistbox is bound to publishers. No real code. Just fill the datasets and display) The problem is this. I believe I am looking at only one instance of the checked list box for the entire grid rather than a separate instance for each row of the grid. Any changes I make in one row are visible in any other row. I realise this is a pretty vague description but what would be some obvious things to check for? Tag: Help.

    - Winform App and security issues I have a .Net WinForms app running on a server and the user accesses it through the Citrix Neighborhood. A feature of the app is that it creates an excel spreadsheet file and then the user can choose to save it to their local hard drive. When the app was under VB6, this was not a problem but now under .Net the app hangs when trying to save to the local drive. I tried it and it worked but then I have administrator privileges on the server.

    - DataTable binding, Column change events, and BindingManagerBase PositionChanged I've assembled a form with numerous controls that bind with different DataTables representing a relational database. The DataTables are arranged hierarchically. To navigate the rows in the DataTables I'm using Prev/Next button events that access the respective DataTable's BindingManagerBase.Position field and modify it. Works _fairly_ well. I've noticed that my DataTable.ColumnChanged event handler (used for validation) fires once for each change the user makes (which is good and expected), and once when navigating to a new row (which is puzzling). For example, with no row edits a click on the Prev or Next button, the ColumnChanged event handler fires. Does this seem accurate, and if so why? -Jamie Tag: Help.

    - databinding issue Hi, I have a business object I want to use for binding. There are a series of combobox on the form that are populated via a bindingsource which sets the DataSource, DataMember, ValueMemeber. THis populates the combo with available values. Now, I bind all the controls on teh form to my business object. The BO has a property which I set to be bound to the SelectedValue of the combo. The property in question is defined as an enum. It seems like the binding mechanism cannot read/write from the property when defined as an enum. If I change it to Integer, it all works correctly. Does anyone know the cause of this issue?

In order not to conflict the sql 2005 for work, I choosed the Access database. Everything are going well. I have only one problem. The physical Access table is not updated. The related code is listed as below: private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.bindingSource1.EndEdit(); int result = 0; result = this.customerTableAdapter1.Update (this.customerDataSet1.Customer); MessageBox.Show(result.ToString()); } Please advise.

    - Issue when publishing in C# I need help with this one. I am running VS 2005 Pro. If I create any windows application and then try to publish it I get a "Default certificate could not be created. Publish aborting." I have tried to create the test certificate but every time I try to do this I get an error "The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT : 0x80070002). However, I have another machine with VS 2005 Standard and if I create a windows application it works with no problem. I have re-installed VS 2005 Pro on my machine again but the problem persist. Anyone has seen this before? Any suggestions? I have searched the web for possible solutions but to not avail. Obviously Microsoft won't even talk to you unless you pay them for their technical support. Kind of ridiculous if you ask me. Their software is messed up and yet they want me to pay them. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks EggHeadCafe.com - .NET Developer Portal of Choice http://www.eggheadcafe.com Tag: Help.

    - Animated gif freezes I have a windows application that controls a scanner. I want to display an animated gif while the scanner is scanning so the user can see something is happening. The problem is that the gif freezes while the scanner is running, thus defeating the whole purpose of displaying the gif. Is there a way to display the gif so that it doesn't freeze? I have tried putting it in a picture box or in a label and using the ImageAnimator. I have also tried running the scanner in a different thread. Nothing seems to work. If I displayed it on a new form would that do the trick? Thanks for any help. Tag: Help. My datagridview columns are being reordered after binding to data object Tag: 112521

    - Windows Report Viewer Print Error on Windows Server 2003 I have a windows application that uses the Report Viewer to display local reports. On Server 2003 boxes (XP is fine) clicking the print button pulls up the print dialog as expected and after clicking the print button it goes throught the expected motions e.g. "print page 1 of n...". however nothing comes out of the printer Opening the Printer window (Start->Printers and faxes ...) shows the document in the queue with a status of "Error". The Application Event Log shows nothing The System Event Log says that everything printed okee dokee. Any ideas? Also is there anywhere to look besides the Event Viewer to see any details on the error? (I have tried printing from the report viewer in default layout and in print layout. still no go) Tag: Help.

    - Question about dual (?) mode programs I've started using Dot Net 2.0. What I am thinking about doing is writing one of my apps to act either as a windows app or a console app, by clearing the 'Enable Application Framework' checkbox and setting the Startup object to 'Sub Main' in a module file. Whether the app acts as windows or console will be determined by command line arguments. Is there any serious downside to doing this under 2.0? (In all likelyhood, this will probably be a fairly lightweight app.) Tag: Help. My datagridview columns are being reordered after binding to data object Tag: 112518

    - Should be simple C++ Forms Question I have a split container on my form, from within one of them I wish to reach the main form of the app. I'm having problems with the headers and namespaces. I want something like this: //within right pane form ABCForm^ abcForm = (ABCForm^)Application::OpenForms["ABCForm"]; abcForm->ExecutePublicFunction(); If I include the main form header I get: 'ABCForm' : undeclared identifier 'abcForm' : undeclared identifier syntax error: ')' and many more.... The two forms are of the same namespace. if within the namespace I do this: namespace ABC{ ref class VPEForm; public ref class OtherForm : public Form { the line: ABCForm^ abcForm = (ABCForm^)Application::OpenForms["ABCForm"]; will compile without complaint. But then the line: abcForm->ExecutePublicFunction(); I get: use of undefined type : 'ABC:ABCForm' Like it sees the 'ref class VPEForm' as the complete definition of the class. So what's the proper way to reference the other form and handle the includes and namespace from another form? This should be simple I know... Thanks, Steven Tag: Help.

    - Problems and confusion with ClickOnce, VB, and SQL Server jobs (Pardon me if this is the wrong forum but this touches on too many areas.) I need to write a bit of VB code to update a table in a SQL Server 2000 database. The code itself is trivial. The deployment apparently is not. (If there's a better way to approach this problem, let me know.) It appeared to me that a console app would be the simplest solution. What I want to do is have something on the server that can be run once a day through a SQL Server job. I deployed it through clickonce, (Install option). I recognize that if the deployement were updated, there would be an update prompt that a SQL job couldn't handle. For the moment I am ignoring this potential problem. (I'm assuming that the person who updates the program will run it manually on the server to check for updates.) The error I am getting when running it through a job is this: SQL Server Scheduled Job 'EmployeeMirrorApp' (0x936F6C440A37D44DB8AE923DD83899A6) - Status: Failed - Invoked on: 2007-07-09 13:06:00 - Message: The job failed. The Job was invoked by Schedule 1977 (Sched 1). The last step to run was step 1 (Run App). When I run it from the menu, it works correctly. I think my biggest question at this point must be: Is this approach even possible? It looks to me like the app is not being installed in the Program Files directory as one would expect and I am not sure SQL Server has access to it. (or even sees it.) Opinions? Tag: Help.

I have a datagridview which I used the wizard to manually add the
columns. I even manually typed in the displayed index value for each
columns. Before binding to a data object, which contains a LIST, the
order of the columns are as I specified in the wizard. However, when I
binded the grid.datasource to the object.LIST and specified the
DataPropertyName, the columns got reordered.

I can not figure out why it is doing this. Any help is greatly
appreciated. By the way, I have no control on the data object. I have
to accept it as it is.

Beside specifying the displayIndex, I don't know what else to do
beside pulling my hair.

Thanks for any help / insight.
