Re: Dynamically binding a linq query to a linqdatasource

Because LINQ is lazily evaluated you can build up a query and never go to the database (until you enumerate it anyway). So you can probably do something like this: var products = db.Products; if(!showDiscontinued) { products = products.Where(x => x.IsDiscontinued == false); } // many more cl

RE: WinForms - button text from sender object

If you were expecting various types to hit that event then you'd just need to check the type before casting it... If TypeOf sender Is Button Then MessageBox.Show(CType(sender, Button).Text) ElseIf TypeOf sender Is TextBox Then MessageBox.Show(CType(sender,

RE: WinForms - button text from sender object

Yes, that works - CType(sender, Button).Text) in VB.NET - for a Button. - but I thought there was something more general, though the .Text property isn't going to be uniform across controls. I'll go for that solution. thx _ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia _ From:

RE: Dynamically binding a linq query to a linqdatasource

Looks like the linqdatasource generates the linq for you. You just have to use the properties like select and where, before you bind the linqdatasource to your viewgrid. I feel like this sorts of defeats learning linq to some degree. Regards Peter Maddin Applications Development Officer Pat

Dynamically binding a linq query to a linqdatasource

I want to use linqtosql to do crud. I want to bind a viewgrid to a linqdatasource which is bound to a datacontext. If you want to do this for every row in the table that is easy. I want to dynamically build a linq query to return a subset of rows that I can manipulate and update within the

I only use OneNote and Outlook on mine. That may be why I find it fine for day-to-day use, yet others find it underpowered (probably the same goes with the Dell Slate). Everything I do in OneNote is synced back to my regular PCs I also have SharePoint Workspace running on it, to have an offline

I think it was the Express build so I could build Metro apps. Don't recall having an option but it was the ISO version if that helps. Oh, and we tested it the other night. The pen does turn off the touch when its in proximity of the screen so no risk of drawing stuff with your hand while using the

All the PC winslabs are pretty dear. We have a couple of them and Win8 really does need a bit of grunt to run. I can thoroughly NOT recommend the Dell Latitude ST (Atom + GMA600) as it runs like arse (and cost $1300) - complete waste of money that is an painful to use and an embarrassment to be se
