Hey all. To be honest, I don't prefer MS Access as a relational database management system (RDBMS). Except, in the forms view part of Access, it had move-forward/jump-to-the-end and move-backward/jump-to-the-beginning buttons at the bottom right/left (respectively). I was hoping to mimic that functionality in C# with my XML Editing F...

I have a web app in production that is used for typical data entry,retrieval, and reporting type functions.

I have a binded DataGridView that allows adding new rows. The problem is that a new object is automatically inserted in the binding source when the CurrentRow is the last grid row. I want that a new object to be added to the binding source only when the user starts typing in one of the last row cells. ...
Hello good people. I'm really sure that the title of my question depicts what i mean.i guess that's why i can't find that much on google.I think it needs to be explained.

What is the best way to copy or cut/past a form from one Project to another Project within a Solution in Visual Studio? Whenever I try it, using the solution explorer (drag and drop or right clicking cut and past), it only copies the underlying C# code and not the necessary 'bits and pieces' that help you visualise the form via the form...
REASON: I'm working on an emergency alert application that needs to display information on a desktop. When the client receives an alert, it pops up a window. If a screensaver is active or the monitor is in standby the alert will not be visible. I'm wondering if it's possible to wake the computer up via some sort of programatic mouse m...
I have a form with some controls. (Actually, this is a sort of ongoing problem.) Some of the forms I have had are resizable, some are not. Regardless, when the form is displayed, it would be nice to have it appear in the "minimum" size needed. Other Windowing toolkits, such as wxWidgets (wxWindow::GetMinSize) and Qt (QWidget::minimumSize...
I want to create a virtual numpad, similar to the on-screen keyboard. How do I prevent the form from ever being activated/focused, so that when I push a button on it, the SendKeys.Send call goes to the right form? I'm certain I have to use an unmanaged API for this, but besides that I'm not even sure where to begin. Thanks for any hel...
I am looking for a datepicker like what microsoft provides, but it doesn't support null values, and since this is tied to a nullable field on a database that isn't acceptable. I found this one, but according to the comments at the bottom of the page it has issues with binding to a database. I also have one in my project that I inherited...
I'm trying to manually draw cells in a DataGridView. Specifically I'd like to draw a row of CheckBoxes. Normally you can add a DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn, but as far as I'm aware, there isn't a DataGridViewCheckBoxRow. (I can't just create lots of DGVCheckBoxColumns because I'd like different cell types in different rows). I've overr...
I am trying to implement the MVP pattern for WINFORMS. Its a simple for with a button and a Grid, on button click, the grid will load, and user can fill in values into the grid. For my button click event, I have something like this: _presenter.LoadGrid(); Which is simple and straightforward. My question is, in regards to grid... I am...
I have been working on a proof of concept for a project (winforms) in which needs to encode the live feed of the webcam to FLV using Flash Media Live encoder. I am using the command line utility of FMLE to encode the live feed to flv files. The problem is that I need to have a mechanism which will also show me the feed while it is being ...
Consider that there is a ComboBox which is populated through its DataSource property. Each item in the ComboBox is a custom object and the ComboBox is set with a DisplayMember and ValueMember. IList<CustomItem> aItems = new List<CustomItem>(); //CustomItem has Id and Value and is filled through its constructor aItems.Add(1, "foo"); aIt...
Hi, I know this is a bad question, but google has failed me. I want a listbox full of items. Although, each item should have a different value. So when the user selects an item and presses a button: a method will be called which will use the value the select item has. I can not/Do not want to reveal the values to the user (e.g "Item1 ...
My application's user interface needs to be built soon and the data being represented is chainable; most components have inputs and outputs and can be freely wired together as necessary. Yahoo Pipes is the style of interface I think I need but I'm having trouble finding something suitable for WinForms. TreeGX looks interesting but it on...
Anyone knows the reason of "random" user.config corruption? I've a WinForms app affected by this problem at my client's production line. Found the same issue on the web and a workaround but I can't figure out because it happens. ...
Often when using software these days, the ESC key will close a dialog without persisting any changes I've made. I like that especially because even though the dialog may have a cancel button on it, I don't necessarily want to reach for the mouse or tab over to the cancel button. It's a nice clean way of saying "Oops, didn't meant to do t...
