• LKeene TabItems displayed vertically

  Hi all, I want to display my TabItems vertically, like this (bottom pic): Image I've tried to get this effect by using RotateTransform, but that doesn't do the trick. It only rotates the content, not the TabItem-header itself. Thanks in advance for the help, Frances Unni Ravindranathan has been created an XPGadget which shows how to do this kinda stuff, you can download the source from this blog . Sheva I think you're looking for TabStripPlacement . < TabControl TabStripPlacement = " Left " > < TabItem > < TabItem.Header > < TextBlock > < TextBlock.LayoutTransform > < RotateTransform Angle = " 90 " /> </ Tex ...Show All

• Ido Flatow set document path in word saveas dialog

  Hi all, I hope someone can help me. I'm programming in Visual basic. In my word template project I would like to preset the document path (preferably to a sharepoint document library) and the document name in the built-in word dialog when the user presses the save commandbar button or chosses the file save as menu. I haven't had any luck with this. Thanks for any help Greets Speedtriple If you were working without VSTO, in a Word template or document, you'd include two procedures in an embedded VBA project: FileSave and FileSaveAs. For anything else, you need to sink the DocumentBeforeSave event. For example, in C#:         private void ThisDocu ...Show All

• Roy mm Would it be hard to add support for SQL IN (...,...) ?

  i.e. string[] cities = { "London", "Paris", "Seattle" }; var query = dataContext.Customers.Where (c => cities.Contains (c.City)); LINQ to SQL gives this error: NotSupportedException: Queries with local collections are not supported It should instead convert this query to: select * from customers where City in ('London', 'Paris', 'Seattle') Without this kind of support from LINQ to SQL, what it the best way to support what Joe is trying to achieve, where a field is to be compared to a dynamically provided small set of values Matt, I'm sure this has already been considered during your "mapping of a feature for remoting collections of values to the server" but I'll throw it out ther ...Show All

• Wicket Getting Relationship Schema Data from CdmEntityType

  OK, So I'm using CdmEntityType to crawl a type, but I can't seem to find the relationships. Is there a simple way of getting the list of relationships within a given type Thanks! Mike Ah! This is great... however, it appears this code is for the more recent code, and not the AugustCTP, which is what I'm working with. :) I'm waiting for the FebCTP before getting the latest bits... No worries on the conflict.  I'm close to getting done with a little project I've been working on w/ EF... I hope to have something on CodePlex by next weekend (maybe even this one if things go well!). Also... is there an example of this EntityContainer path that you mention   Maybe that works w/ the Aug. codebase Th ...Show All

• schalmeti Creating a Derived Type in the Designer

  I am attempting to re-create my previous VideoGames database using the designer. I want to see if I can do everything I need without tweaking the underlying XML once. So far its working with NavigationProperties. However, either its been too long since I've used this stuff, or the designer is limited. I am trying to create a derived type called WiiGames that derives from VideoGames, that uses a condition where the VideoGame.Type.ID is 1 (Wii). Anyone have a walkthrough on how to do this in the designer and/or how to start using the designer and finish using XML Has anybody created a conditional derived type Thats really all I need here is how to fix this syntax so I don't get the above runtime exception about the mapping...

• pavel989 VS 2005 is better than DLL hell?

  Please please please someone bring back DLL hell (which was never really that big of an issue) -- DLL hell is a considerably better trade-off that dealing with interpreted, buggy, slow, and "mysterious" development platform called VS 2005. So many issues with VS 2005: 1. Why is it so slow I mean slow even on a very fast system with 4GB RAM, multiple processors (3Ghz zeons) and 10K rpm hard drives. Is it just a flawed design 2. Why did SP1 not really improve anything and seems to have caused more problems than it solved Debug corruption (no symbols loaded) and a host of other issues. 3. Why is the simple task of moving multiple controls around on a ASPX page via the VS IDE so painfully slow and unresponsive 4. Wh ...Show All

• EZ1976 Can't edit text in RichTextBox (VSTO 2005)

  Hi, When I add a RichTextBox to my Word document at Runtime, my textbox displays correctly my formated text. But if I try to change the format ot some text in the RichTextBox once Word is launched, nothing happens! How can I enable the formating of text in the RichTextBox Thanks, Claudia Thanks for your reply! So there is no way to introduce (in my code) a control like a textbox, which allows the later user to format text in the textbox Thanks, Claudia Hi Claudia, If you are using VSTO, the RichTextBox control isn't supported (which is why it is not enabled in the designer).  The Windows Forms RichTextBox control wraps the Win32 Rich Edit Control.  ...Show All

• Ryn Message Namespace / invoking class functions

  I'm trying to see how to accomplish this with WCF, any help would be greatly appreciated. I am setting up 3-4 WCF services and in one of them, I want it to essentially be a wrapper of stored procedure calls. So, it would basically be a set of function calls with the parameters strongly typed in the Function call. However, since we are going to have a lot of these, I want to be able to separate these out by program utilization. For Example (pseudo code): Dim client as New IWCFStoredProcedureClient client.webSites.GetProducts() client.scanner.RetrieveOrder(OrderId as Integer) And the service contract would have a list of those methods in there. It's kind of an organizational thing. The other problem I'm trying to solve is the abi ...Show All
