• lx Using the Hands-On labs with September CTP

  Ok I figured out a few of the things I needed to change to make the InterceptorBinding code work in the advanced WCF hands on lab that initially targeted the June CTP. What I'm not able to figure out is this change to no longer use the "InnerChannelListener" from the ChannelListenerBase. I've found a handful of postings on using "GetProperty" to do it but I have not been able to implement it. This is confusing me a little, can someone explain this Below is my code for the InnerChannelListener property that does not like my setter because it's not setting an actual variable: public IChannelListener <TChannel> InnerChannelListener { get { return ( IChannelListener <TChannel>) base .GetProperty&l ...Show All

• LearningVisualC2005 Pixel manipulation

  How do I change pixels in a bitmap I've only seen examples of creating new bitmaps from an array of values, but I need to be able to set pixels in an existing bitmap without the overhead of re-creating it from scratch every time. Can I lock bitmaps like with System.Drawing.Bitmap and manipulate memory directly Not in XBAPs of course, but for desktop apps I think you want System.Windows.Media.Imaging.WriteableBitmap I've never personally used it so I can't give you much more advice than that. David *bump* Thanks, it looks like the way to go. Not very slick, feels almost like Win32 programming, but it should do the trick. ...Show All

• rooooooodog Threading problem in WPF

  I'm having a problem which I expect is by design, but I can't find any documentation on it. When I create an object on another thread and then try to databind to it from the UI thread I get a System.InvalidOperationException with the message "The calling thread cannot access this object because a different thread owns it." That seems to make sense. The object was created by another thread so access to it is restricted to avoid potential problems. It's just that owning thread has exited and I want to go on using the object. If the object has been stamped with the ID of the thread that created it, is there a way to change it Just out of interest, if I call Dispatcher.CheckAccess() before I databind the object it returns tr ...Show All

• Richard Berg MSFT Deployment of VTSO solution developed in C#

  Hi, I have been using Microsoft .Net 2003 (C#) and VBA to develop solutions for Microsoft Office 2003. Basically it is a user-template based solution. I want to migrate to Microsoft .Net 2005 and use VTSO to develop the solution for Microsoft Office (2003 and upwards....). It will be a Shared-Addins type of solution. (all the solution are for desktop-winforms) I want to know whether I need to deploy Office PIA to the user's machine when deploying the VTSO solution All the possible solutions are welcome. Also, Please suggest If there is a more better solution in VTSO other than Shared Addins Thanks Padmabhushan I recommend that you do not use the Shared Addins. Instead you need VSTO 2005 SE to create Addins ...Show All

  In future version of LINQ will I be able to do a .ForEach directly on the Dlinq objects For example: var batches = from b in this.m_Database.Batches where b.EndTime == null select b; batches.ForEach(b => b.EndTime = DateTime.Now); Also will there be any other CTPs of Linq for Visual Studio 2005, or will I have to download the entire Orcas CTP if I want to use the newest features Thanks.

• Michael Dawson Reportviewer print dialog problem

  My .NET version 2 application creates reports by calling a method from a dll (which I also wrote) which displays a form containing a user control which in turn contains a ReportViewer. I set the viewer's .ReportPath, .BindingSource, and .DataSource properties and call the .RefreshReport method. The viewer displays the report correctly. When I click the viewer's Print button, the Print dialog correctly appears, but I have to click the dialog's Print button twice to actually send the report to the printer. What could be causing this This should not be the case. I have contacted one of our support escalation engineers about this and he will contact you directly. I just need either your support case nu ...Show All

• Jason Presley Styling Buttons using DependencyProperty

  I want to create an ImageButton that uses three bitmaps for its various states. So I've created a 'ImageButtonStyle' that replaces its ControlTemplate with a custom ContentPresenter. I use triggers on this style to check for the button state. To determine which bitmap i have to use for which state, I've created a ButtonInfo class that can hold 3 Uri's (for each state) and some more info, like for example the text and the foreground color. An instance of this custom class gets created for each button and assigned to the content of the button. I then use binding (in the ImageButtonStyle) to access the properties of the content. So far so good: this works. I can see the button with the bitmap and caption. The problem is that I want to make t ...Show All
