• dn8 Can a Trigger match against a value taken from another property?

  Is it possible to set up a trigger based on the value of another property I tried using the Binding syntax, but it seems that the comparison value can not have a binding in it: <Trigger Property="ProgressBar.Value" Value="{Binding Path=Maximum}"> What I am trying to achieve is a progress bar that is only visible when it has a value that is not the minimum or the maximum. I can get it to work if I hard-code minimum and maximum values, but I want the style to be applicable to any progress bar with any value for maximum and minimum. The other thing I tried was binding the Visibility value to the Value value using a Converter that would return Visible or Hidden appropriately, but to do this it needs to know ...Show All

• Sean Connolly What's equivalent in WPF for "Application.Restart()" in WindowsForms?

  Application.Curent object doesn't contain such method. Any suggestions Thanks As it turns out, Application.Restart() is quite hard to implement properly, as evidenced by using Reflector to inspect the WinForms implementation and discovering that it isn't actually implemented properly there, for a start. It completely ignores command line escaping when creating the command line to start the new process with. To demonstrate this, you can use some very short code just to show command args and perform a restart: static void Main(string[] args) { Console.WriteLine("Restart Tester"); Console.WriteLine("command line: " + Environment.CommandLine); Console.WriteLine ...Show All

• LOTG Error loading type library while creating Word projects

  This has now happened to me twice. One day VSTO works fine. The next day when I try and create a Word project I get the following message in both VB and C#: Error loading type library/DLL. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80029C4A (TYPE_E_CANTLOADLIBRARY)) I can create Excel projects just fine. Running repair on the VSTO Runtime solves the problem. Anybody have any ideas as to why this happens and whether it can be eliminated Robert Hi, You might try downloading regmon.exe from www.sysinternals.com (recently aquired by Microsoft) and watching regkeys when you try to create a project. Although this will generate a huge log as the system is touching regkeys all the time, you should be able t ...Show All

• Art_ Issues with generating .net 2.0 client for consuming a WCF service

  hi all, I have created a WCF service and specified message contracts for defining how a request should be sent when invoking a WCF method and also the response. I am using a Windows Service to host the WCF service. The service runs fine and there are no issues with that.

• Mahesh kumara VSTO Add-in - how to make form fill app window

  I am creating a VSTO add-in that consists of a very large windows form. It probably sounds a bit strange, but I would like the form to fill the entire Word application window. (If that is not doable, then I would like it to cover the active document window.) I thought I had answered my question by setting the form's WindowState to Maximized. However, that seemed to be overkill, as my form went outside the bounds of Word app window (especially when the Word app is not in a maximized state). Does anyone know how to set an add-in's window size and position so that it fills the entire parent window area Thanks I have posted a sample solution to my blog. http://blogs.msdn.com/pstubbs/archive/2 ...Show All

• TrevorW SourceSafe LAN Service does not work with NetBIOS/DNS aliases.

  We have a Windows Server 2003 R2 acting as SourceSafe server. The server has been setup with a normal hostname (SERVER08) and has been enabled to allow LanMan aliases. The server has been changed as described in these short articles: http://www.sanx.org/tipShow.asp index=305     or    http://www.jsifaq.com/SF/Tips/Tip.aspx id=8062 The alias is used so we can move the SourceSafe database to other servers without the clients knowing. This setup means that the server can be fully accessed in all normal procedures (RFC, HTTP, Network shares, etc) using either name. Also SourceSafe clients can connect to the server using either the  \\SERVER08\SourceSafe or \\VSS\SourceSafe UNC path. Ev ...Show All
