    Entity Framework 6 - Intermittent Runtime Error Reading AppSettings from Config

    Unfortunately I'm still having this problem but I'm picking up a bit of a pattern now which has hopefully led me closer to a resolution (of sorts).

    Entity Framework 6 - Intermittent Runtime Error Reading AppSettings from Config

    I have made a couple of changes to my implementation which has resulted in a different method of disposing of my wrapper objects which appears to have helped a bit but I am still getting these intermittent errors, albeit at a lesser rate. Have actually gotten an additional config error of a...

    InstallShield LE - How to deploy as a single MSI file?

    Question Floating point values in NumericUPDown control

    To allow floating point numbers update the .DecimalPlaces property to however many decimal points you'd like to allow. After that you can set the .Increment property to 0.1.

    How to merge cells in DataGridView?

    I've gotta say that after all the time that's passed since my original post the merging functionality I needed all those years ago would still have made a fantastic difference and even though I'm now at a level (finally! :3) where I'm able to inherit from the DGV and implement my own control...

    Question Is there a solution to the Bleeding Cursor problem for Firefox 2 and IE 6?

    Edit: This also applies to IE7 and IE8. FF3 and Opera 10 don't suffer from this problem at all.

    Question Is there a solution to the Bleeding Cursor problem for Firefox 2 and IE 6?

    I have a CSS menu comprised of <div>, <a>, <ul> and <li> elements. The menu works just fine except for when an <input> element currently has focus and the carat marking the current position in the element blinks and bleeds through the menu when it is displayed. Changing the z-index of the menu...

    I have a basic Form with a StatusStip at the bottom. I have set SizingGrip = False and the BackColor = White. Now, I have added a single ToolStripStatusLabel with Spring = True.

    DataGridView Performance and Management

    I'm sure by now most of us have come across and/or used a DGV in some way or another. Personally I only ever used it for small result sets until recently and never had any issues with it.

    DataGridView responsiveness when adding rows

    I realise this thread is old but I'm curious about something... @JohnH: Arguably it's never really a good idea to put too much info in the UI but what about instances when the purpose of an application IS to display that much info? Lately I've had to create a number of reporting apps (little...

    How can I prevent user.config being created when there are no user settings? I have machine settings which cannot be changed and no user settings whatsoever yet user.config is created regardless.

    Remoting and processing objects...

    Unfortunately I have to use 2005... :( I would ideally like to make use of Remoting since I have never used it before and would like to learn more about it as opposed to using Sockets.

    How exactly should a person go about setting up remoting and passing information between two applications? I have a client application which queries a server for info on it's state. The client calls the server which then processes things internally and then that result is the one which should...
