    - Show an SQL Server Integration Services Raw File in a Datagridview Dear all I want to give administrators of a datawarehouse a possibility to have a look at the extracts of the source systems a SSIS Packages puts in a datawarehouse. I thought the best way would be to let the package generate an Raw file with the extract and write a .NET windows application to show this SSIS RAW File in a .NET 2.0 DataGridView. Unfortunately I could not find out how this works. Can you please point me to the right direction? Thanks, Marc Regards, Marc Tag: MySQL solutions + feedback Tag: 100671

    - VS2005 Opening a Form in Designer Sets the Modified (Dirty) Indica I have project that has forms derived from another form in a class library. I just converted this project to VS2005 from VS2003. Whenever I open one of the forms the tab showing the name of the form with an asterisk (*) so that it appears like it is modified without me making any changes. When I click the close button it then asks me if I want to save the changes? If I say yes and compare the before and after there is no difference. Has anyone seen this? I'm assuming it's probably being caused by something in my base class (form) but I have no clue what it could be. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, -- gw Tag: MySQL solutions + feedback Tag: 100665

    - Handling Different DPI Settings when Manually Setting Coordinates If I'm manually setting the size and position of controls, how do I determine what the coordinate should be if the user changes the windows DPI setting? I have a problem when I run an app, which was compiled in 96 dpi, in 120 DPI. I have the property, AutoScale, set to DPI. If I manually set the size and position of any one control and get it to show up where I want in 96 DPI, the control shows up in the wrong place under 120 DPI. Since the DPI is higher, the X and Y coordinates should be higher as well. I know how to detect the DPI setting. So how do I know what values to use based on the DPI setting? Can I just multiple all manual coordinate settings by 1.25 if the DPI is 120? I'd like to take advantage of the Autoscale property, but I'd like to just change the position of one or two controls depending on user bevahior. Is this something built in or do I have to come up with complex spacing algorithm? Ed Tag: MySQL solutions + feedback Tag: 100657

    - Embedded Winform resize in 2.0 I have a no-touch application which I created in 1.1. It is embedded within IE, not a stand-alone window. I'm migrating it to 2.0 and one thing (which is a major problem) is that the <object> tag doesn't appear to resize within the browser frame any more. I tested the same code in 1.1 and 2.0 and something changed. I need to figure out how to change the size of my application when the browser changes. I've tried a bunch of options including JavaScript but nothing appears to effect the size of the embedded .net control. Anyone have any ideas? Tag: MySQL solutions + feedback Tag: 100649

    - Application.Restart on ClickOnce Deployed Application We've got an application that we deploy with click once. Using the MyApplication_UnhandledException we restart the application with Windows.Forms.Application.Restart() if the user encounters an error we didn't catch. Our application allows paramaters to be passed to the ClickOnce Application We are retrieving these like this.. If My.Application.IsNetworkDeployed Then Dim zUri As New Uri(My.Application.Deployment.ActivationUri.AbsoluteUri) zstrQuery = zUri.Query zarr_strArgs = zstrQuery.Split("&".ToCharArray) Else.... This works fine when the appliciation is started the first time. After a restart though, it appears that there is no ActivationUri.AbsoluteUri and I recieve an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error. What's going on? The documentation states, "Applications are restarted in the context in which they were initially run. If your application was started using a URL pointing directly to the application's main executable file, it will be restarted using the same URL. If your application is a ClickOnce application, it will be restarted using ClickOnce. If your application was originally supplied command-line options when it first executed, Restart will launch the application again with the same options." The way I read this, it should activate the same way it did the first time, so why is there no Uri? -- Neil Tag: MySQL solutions + feedback Tag: 100643

    - MdiParent bug...or am I dumb Setting the MdiParent of a Form works as expected. However, if an application has more than one top level mdi container form then unexpected erroneous behavior is observed when setting the MdiParent of a child form first to one MdiContainer, and then setting the MdiParent of the same child form to another container. After setting the MdiParent for a second time, the child will not activate and when maximized will not merge with main menu, if available, or the title bar if there is no main menu. Reproduce with the following code: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace MDIParentBug { class MainForm : Form { Form secondMdiForm = new Form(); Form mdiChildForm = new Form(); public MainForm() { this.Text = "Main Mdi Form"; secondMdiForm.Text = "Second Mdi Form"; //Set as mdi containers... secondMdiForm.IsMdiContainer = true; this.IsMdiContainer = true; //set the mdi parent of the child mdiChildForm.MdiParent = this; //Show second mdi container... secondMdiForm.Show(); //Hook up activated events.. this.Activated += MDIParent_Activated; secondMdiForm.Activated += MDIParent_Activated; //show mdi child... mdiChildForm.Show(); } void MDIParent_Activated(object sender, EventArgs e) { //set new parent of mdi child... mdiChildForm.MdiParent = sender as Form; } [STAThread] static void Main() { Application.EnableVisualStyles(); Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false); Application.Run(new MainForm()); } } } I'd like a simple fix but unfortunately I think it's truly a bug. One that's unfortunately killing my schedule. If I'm doing something fundamentally wrong I'd like to know. Robert Conde Tag: MySQL solutions + feedback Tag: 100634

    - External component has thrown an exception I seem to get this exception when I open forms using ShowDialog() from event handlers. Consider the following: private void cboCombo_SelectedIndexChanged(...) { try { (do something that raises an exception here) } catch(Exception ex) { try { (open a form with ShowDialog() here) } catch {} } } Somehow the SEHException is being thrown to Main() where it crashes the app. The stack trace is as follows: at System.Windows.Forms.UnsafeNativeMethods.DispatchMessageW(MSG& msg) at System.Windows.Forms.ComponentManager.System.Windows.Forms.UnsafeNativeMethods+IMsoComponentManager.FPushMessageLoop(Int32 dwComponentID, Int32 reason, Int32 pvLoopData) at System.Windows.Forms.ThreadContext.RunMessageLoopInner(Int32 reason, ApplicationContext context) at System.Windows.Forms.ThreadContext.RunMessageLoop(Int32 reason, ApplicationContext context) at System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(Form mainForm) at WinApp.MainForm.Main(String[] args) in mainform.cs:line 2078 I've gotten around this issue in the past by starting a timer in the event handler, and then launching the form from the timer elapsed event. That works ok, but gets cumbersome quickly. I can provide code samples if necessary, but the code in question really isn't doing anything spectacular. I don't see how the code sample above could allow an exception to be thrown (without an explicit throw, that is). Does anyone have any experience with this issue?

    - Does ClickOnce work well? Any disadvantages to it? We have an ASP.NET web application that gets installed on a server in a hospital and then any computer throughout the hospital's network can access the application. I prefer Winforms applications to ASP.NET, so I am thinking that we should replace our current one with a Winforms application distributed through clickonce. What are the disadvantages of doing this? I am having difficulty convincing my coworkers that clickonce will distribute just as easily as a web application. It seems to me that the only major disadvantage is that the client PC has to have the .NET framework on it, which won't be the case in general. Does clickonce work really as easily as advertised? I scanned newsgroups to see a bunch of people having deployment problems of one type or another with it. thanks in advance Tag: MySQL solutions + feedback Tag: 100628

    - newbie... tablestyle question... I am using vb .net 2002. I have a datagrid where I am displaying columns from a table. The columns that are empty are being displayed as "{null}" and I want them to be just blank. I heard the onl;y way to do this was by using a table style to map each column and use the .nulltext="" property so that nulls are displayed as blank... My question is this... There are many columns in this particular table that have null values. Is there a way to set up a table style using a loop to go through eac field in the table (we are using SQL server) and set the field arccordingly?? I am currently doing it the long way and I am pretty sure there is a smarter way to do it... Below is some sample code for the load event of the form... In this code I have only dim'd two columns but I have a bunch. There must be an easier way than what I am doing here. I am think a for next loop must work but what would the syntax be? Private Sub frmAssetMaster_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim ds As New DataSet() Dim dgTableStyle As DataGridTableStyle ' fill the dataset SqlDataAdapter1.Fill(ds) Me.DataGrid1.DataSource = ds Me.DataGrid1.DataMember = "ComputerMaster" 'Create a data grid table style. dgTableStyle = New DataGridTableStyle() 'Map the table style to a table dgTableStyle.MappingName = "ComputerMaster" ' Dim all of the columns you want Dim dgTextBoxCol As New DataGridTextBoxColumn() Dim dgTextBoxCol2 As New DataGridTextBoxColumn() ' Set Col 1 properties dgTextBoxCol.MappingName = "ComputerName" dgTextBoxCol.NullText = "" dgTextBoxCol.HeaderText = "Asset Name" 'Set Col 2 properties dgTextBoxCol2.MappingName = "RAM" dgTextBoxCol2.NullText = "" dgTextBoxCol2.HeaderText = "RAM" ' Add the column styles dgTableStyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(dgTextBoxCol) dgTableStyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(dgTextBoxCol2) ' Add the table style Me.DataGrid1.TableStyles.Add(dgTableStyle) End Sub Tag: MySQL solutions + feedback Tag: 100625

    - Word in a WinForm I'm struggling to embed a word document in a winform application and access the document object to automate it. I've found http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;304662 But the code won't compile. There seems to be some conflict between the Browser control and the SHDocVw bits. I can get the document loaded OK, but the event mentioned in the KB article does not seem to exist and I can find no way of getting at and binding the instance of the document to a Word._Document object. I can't find anything particularly useful through google and to make matters worse, I'm using an x64 OS which may well be having issues with 64/32 bit widths (though I don't think I've got there yet). So, simply put. In VS2005 I can load a word document in to a browser window. How do I get teh Word Document object from it?

    - Using AxWebBrowser to get client / server conversations. Hiya, Got a small issue. I've created an app that can monitor what information is sent from and to a webserver while navigating through a particular scenario on a website (i.e. booking a holiday). Trouble is some actions are captured, and I can get the post data / query strings etc, however others aren't - mainly XML Posts for online games etc. I'm currently using the BeforeNavigate method and decoding the post data to get the information, but I think this isn't the best thing to use. So is there another way to get this information (and more!), maybe from the HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse classes (of which I am unfamiliar with). Any help is much appreciated, Thanks.

    - Process.Start executing old version of my EXE Hi everyone, >From my WinForms app I am executing an external process. It turns out that I have replaced the EXE of the external process with a newer version and my WinForms app is still executing the old one. I am using Visual Studio 2005 and programming in C#. I have been wrecking my brains for two days and I can't find a possible explanation. These are the things I have tried so far: -Renaming the new EXE and, of course, referencing the new name in my code. -Deleted all the MUICache entries in the registry. -Removed the EXE completely from my Visual Studio solution and added it again. -Deleted all the suspicious caching files of Visual Studio. -If I xcopy my app to another computer it works. -If I xcopy my app to another folder in the same dev computer it works only once; in subsequent runs the old version of the EXE is called (even with a different EXE name). This is absolutely frustrating. I would appreciate any input. Thanks much! Tag: MySQL solutions + feedback Tag: 100587

    - Simple cross thread problem (I think) I ran into a threading issue with vb.net 2005. So I did some research and found out I could do one of two things. I could use the following(Which I'm not a big fan of) Dim ctl As Control For Each ctl In Me.Controls If TypeOf (ctl) Is TextBox Or TypeOf (ctl) Is Label Then Control.CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = False End If Next or I have to use a delegate and call it like so I like the secondary idea but I can't get my head around it. It's probably simple and I've over complicated it but all I need to do is react to a raise event call from a class on a form. I have looked at all kinds of examples but I'm don't see how it applies to my situation. Does anyone have an example of what I need to do? I just want to update labels and textboxes on my form when the event is raised. Here's the sub as it is now Private sub mMachCtl_NotDecoded ()Handles mMachCtl.NoDecoded txtColor.Text = "Error" txtLotNum.Text = "Error" Dim ctl as control for each ctl in me.controls if typeof ctl is label or typeof ctl is textbox then ctl.backcolor = color.red end if loop End Sub so how do I setup the delegate, and something to make that happen? -- You only know how far you can go if you go too far Tag: MySQL solutions + feedback Tag: 100584

    - Strange Behavior on Embedding a CMainFrame inside a managed tab control... I know this one is WAY out pushing the envelope, but I'd like to know if anyone has any ideas about it. We have a behemoth of a legacy MFC application which is now being embedded in a Windows Forms application (using VS 2005). It took some substantial out of the box thinking to make this work, but by and large it is working. There is one behavior, however, which we haven't quite solved yet. For some strange reason, we are having some significant focus management problems. When we bring up the application, no part of the application seems to have the focus. If we use the mouse to activate the application, everything seems to operate correctly, but if we bring up a modal dialog box, the dialog box receives and manages the focus correctly, but once it is dismissed, the focus does not return to the application window. It seems to return to the tab control, since the arrow keys navigate the tabs, but the controls in the legacy application cannot be reached using the keyboard. Interestingly, modules written in C# using windows forms controls do not display this behavior. I haven't been able to find anything in the window management or window styles to explain this. Can anyone out there shed any light on this?

    - Datagrid Question I'm creating a winform application that implements a datagrid to display a daily inventory for chemicals. If there is already data for a particular day, that day's info will display in the grid. Otherwise, I want to just display the list of all chemicals that are not marked as discontinued in the Access database so that the user can enter that day's inventory count. There are 2 database tables for this portion of the app. The chemicals table contains... you guessed it - chemical information, and the dailyInventory table contains the fk to chemicals and daily inventory counts for each chemical. My first approach to create the datagrid as described was to use a select statement that populated a dataset and bind the dataset to the datagrid. I tried several different join statements to accomplish this, but nothing seemed to work the way I wanted it to. If there wasn't any data for a particular day, the closest I could get was to display all the chemicals but some of them had information from previous dates and others contained <null>. So then I thought perhaps I should use a dataset from another screen to populate the datagrid with the list of chemicals. However, I don't want to bind that dataset to the grid since the data needs to go to dailyInventory and not just chemicals. Have I just missed the boat on the select and rowfilter statements or should I use the second dataset instead? If I should use the second dataset, how do I add items to the datagrid without binding it? -- Message posted via DotNetMonster.com http://www.dotnetmonster.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/winform/200605/1 Tag: MySQL solutions + feedback Tag: 100576

In some other cases i get an error that for reader failed to read the form and then i have top restart VS IDE and try again. Is is just me or other people also have this sort of problem and is there a remedy? It's really annoying and i waist a lot of time because of that so if someone could suggest a solution i would highly appreciate it! Thank you, MuZZy Tag: MySQL solutions + feedback Tag: 100553

    - RaiseEvents causing unsafe cross thread? Hello to all, I had to convert a VB classic app to .net and I chose to use 2005. In the app I have a class that interfaces to several devices. A vision system, barcode scanner, etc, etc. When these devices are triggered I respond and once I'm done with the processing of the logic I raise events from inside the class that update textboxes and labels on the form. It's a very simple event. I am just posting text based on conditions. But I get an unsafe cross thread error when I do this. '** Forms Event Sample Private Sub mMachCtl_NotDecoded() Handles mMachCtl.NotDecoded txtColor.Text = "Error!" txtLotNum.Text = "Error!" txtQuantity.Text = "Error!" txtQuantity.Text = "Error!" txtWorkOrderId.Text = "Error!" txtWoNum.Text = "Error!" BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red lblColorScreen.Text = "COLOR NOT DETECTED!!!" Dim Ctl As System.Windows.Forms.Control On Error Resume Next For Each Ctl In Me.Controls If Not TypeOf Ctl Is System.Windows.Forms.TextBox Then Ctl.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red Next Ctl End Sub So I did some research and found out I could do one of two things. I could use the following(Which I'm not a big fan of) Dim ctl As Control For Each ctl In Me.Controls If TypeOf (ctl) Is TextBox Or TypeOf (ctl) Is Label Then Control.CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = False End If Next or I have to use a delegate and call it like so Delegate Sub SetTextCallback(ByVal [text] As String) Private Sub SetText(ByVal [text] As String) If txtColor.InvokeRequired Then Dim d As New SetTextCallback(AddressOf SetText) Me.Invoke(d, New Object() {[text]}) End If End Sub I'm ok with this method but I can't modify it to be generic. I want to pass to the SetText sub the control that I want to set the text property on. Yet when I modify the delegate, the sub and the calls to it the IDE locks up. Is there a way to modify the delegate, supporting sub and calls to it so that I can pass something as object? OR did I miss the boat completely and there is a simpler way to do all of this? thanks in advance, Pat Laf -- You only know how far you can go if you go too far Tag: MySQL solutions + feedback Tag: 100551

    - ListView OnSelectionChanged event firing multiple times Hi, I have a ListView on my form whose selection is used to populate several text fields. When selecting a ListView item, the data for the previous selection is checked for errors. If errors are found, a message box is displayed and the user is returned to the previously selected index. I am using the ListView as a single selection control so in the event handler, I am only checking for errors when the selected items count is equal to 1. I expect to have this event fired twice (once for the user's selection and once when I manually select the previous item) but I am seeing it fired four times. For example, assume my ListView looks as follows: Item A Item B Item C Assume that Item B was selected and changes were made that contain errors. When you select Item C, the errors are detected, but the message box detecting the errors is displayed twice. If I have a message box that displays the selected item when the event is handled, I will see the message boxes in the following order: Item C selected Errors were detected Item B selected Item C selected Errors were detected Item B selected In the end, I am returned to the previous selection and the behavior that I need but I get the error message twice. Does anyone know why that event is firing twice? Thanks!! Tag: MySQL solutions + feedback Tag: 100550

    - ReportViewer Print Layout I'm trying the ReportViewer control (not Crystal Report) in my project. When I run the project, it shows me that the number of pages is 9. But when I print the report, it turns out to be 33 pages. Why? And how do I make it so that it will show the actual number of pages instead? Tag: MySQL solutions + feedback Tag: 100537

I think ODBC driver for MySQL 5.x and Odbc connection is best solution that
you look for.
