2 New Member
I have a windows form which displays table contents from a database.

I want the contents to be automatically updated when the table in database is updated.

What I implement on my forms is a little timer control, which refetches the data at a defined time interval.
moreover, eevrytime a request is made to edit it, i ensure that I picku up the latest data from the database rather than the one from the dataset (depending on how critical the operation is)

If you have SQL server as your Database, you can use notification services, and implement your aplication to listen to this service.

I have a windows form that is bound to a datatable. In VB6 I could just update the field contents and it would be updated in the database, however if I update the text property of the control from code it is 50% chance that the update will make it back to the dataset. If I update the dataset instead of the form, it does not show on the form. Is there a method that should be used?

Hi I have a report with a graph on it and want to change the minimum and maximum values for the value axis when it is previewed. This can't be done by adding code in the Open event as once the report has started printing the properties can't be changed.

I have a form that collects data, and I want to prompt the user if they try to exit the app, or load a new file, without saving changes that have been made. In MFC/Win32, you'd trap the WM_COMMAND/EN_CHANGE notification messages, etc. But, this doesn't seem to happen in Windows Forms. I tried Spy-ing a windows forms app, and the WM_COMMAND messages don't even get sent...

Hi all I'm very new to dotNet and just trying to get my head around the right way to do the thing that I would normally do in asp. In asp I would loop through a recordset and output all the html dynamically for the layout I want.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
