Wow, so many .Net Coders Daniel Fisher (lennybacon)4-Apr-03 9:36 Daniel Fisher (lennybacon) 4-Apr-03 9:36  It is nice to see that there are a lot .Netters around. The most coders i know are still armed with VB or C++. Re: Wow, so many .Net Coders Kir Sem4-Apr-03 21:35 Kir Sem 4-Apr-03 21:35  I think it is a god time to start working with .Net. There is no way to ignore it. So many "new" technologies every half-year - I have headtaches... Regards, Kir Sem what's Graphics tools?

Datagrid Question Santanu Lahiri2-Apr-03 7:47 Santanu Lahiri 2-Apr-03 7:47  Hi, I am trying to use the MS Datagrid control in my project. I have been able to hook it up to a recordset and display the records. However, I would like to display a dropdown combo box at time on a certain column. I have been looking for documentation on this, but can not find anything except a reference to the built-in combo box which can be used in the ButtonClick event handler. Does anyone know how to access this combo box? Thanks.

Apologies! I finally solved the issue by forgetting the combo box and going with a pop-up menu. Thanks. MSDN...

I wonder if CodeProject is stored in a version-control repository. If so, does it use SourceSafe? Michael 'War is at best barbarism...Its glory is all moonshine.

Re: CVS Jim Crafton4-Apr-03 4:17 Jim Crafton 4-Apr-03 4:17  You like ClearCase?? Are you using it in the fancy Stream based way (they have some 3 letter acronym for this, which I forget, UTM??), or the more traditional way? We used it at my old job and almost without exception, everyone of the 20+ developers hated it with a passion. And the Admin guys despised it. ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire! Real Mentats use only 100% pure, unfooled around with Sapho Juice(tm)! Re: CVS / ClearCase MattyT6-Apr-03 15:07 MattyT 6-Apr-03 15:07  No, we don't use the UCM (Unified Change Management) features - and they do sound like they add an unnecessary layer of complexity...would be interesting to hear from anyone that does use UCM features... We have ~250 developers working on the same codebase at three sites around the world and ClearCase has proved extremely reliable. Some developers don't like the flexibility that the tool provides (tagging/branching/ triggers/directory elements etc) but once familiar with the concepts other tools just seem limiting. We have a dedicated admin guy at each of the sites and they seem pretty happy managing it...mind you they're pretty experienced with the system. I've only really used rcs/cvs and SourceSafe but I just can't imagine those tools scaling to the demands that we put on ClearCase!

Anyone else use Virtual PC[^]? - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!" Re: Virtual PC Navin2-Apr-03 2:08 Navin 2-Apr-03 2:08  I've heard quite the opposite - that VMWare is better and faster than VirtualPC. But I haven't used VPC, so I can't make my own judgement. What do you mean by "intrusive"? I've found VMWare to be anything but intrusive... so long as you have enough RAM... "When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute.

Those things bugs me. Virtual PC only install a driver you can attach to a netcard, but otherwise it's a normal tray-program. When I exit Virtual PC it's closed, and not all kinda services running like VMWare... And believe me, I have worked with both, and Vortual PC is a lot faster with Windows, it runs Linux a bit slower than VMWare... - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!" Re: Virtual PC Navin2-Apr-03 6:43 Navin 2-Apr-03 6:43  From the poll, it looks like you're the only one that has those opinions. I have never worried about the services or network adapters VMWare installs. Why should I? IF they don't crash the system or slow things down too much, I don't care.

A place I worked we played Counter Strike friday afternoon, every friday, but we had to stop the VMWare services to get Counter Strike to connect to the server.

VPC is much faster than VMWare for actually running the Virtual OS...installing it takes forever...but once that's over, you've got it made. Hawaian shirts and shorts work too in Summer. People assume you're either a complete nut (in which case not a worthy target) or so damn good you don't need to worry about camouflage... -Anna-Jayne Metcalfe on Paintballing Re: Virtual PC Gavin Greig4-Apr-03 20:51 Gavin Greig 4-Apr-03 20:51  Anders Molin wrote: Anyone else use Virtual PC[^]? Yes, 50% of our development team are Mac users outside work so Virtual PC was the "obvious" choice. However, i haven't used VMWare, so can't make a comparison.
