• Mounir27 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 Hi! Kevin, RE: In theory, I want to add an entity type mapping in the MSL.

• pdurbha Automation server can't create object - figured out my problem

  Recently I was working in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 and all of a sudden I couldn't create a new project.

• Wedgetail Dynamically opening and closing channels not defined by App.config

  Folks, I'm working on an application (game, actually) where I need to be able to create transient channels... some of the clients will start listening on and sending to a given mesh based on where the player is in the game. So, when I define in app.config the endpoint for net.p2p://ulyssesagenda/chat I'm fine because the peer mesh address of that channel never changes, and I'm only using a single instance of IChat to receive incoming messages. What I need to be able to do is, at runtime, open an INavigation on net.p2p://ulyssesagenda/nav/galaxy1 or net.p2p://ulyssesagenda/nav/galaxy2 or whatever. In other words, I need to be able to dynamically create instances of these classes that implement the mesh interfaces, and I need to be a ...Show All

• SDerix Some hebrew fonts not displaying in wpf
