• eric_from_nj Creating positioned elements with databinding

  Hi, I need to create some positioned content of a Canvas control using databinding to a collection of business objects containing absolute coordinates of every element. I tried with ItemsControl bute the Canvas.Top and Canvas.Left properies cannot be assigned and the elements appear always stacked one under the others. Thankyou in advance Andrea Boschin hi, I've tried the approach you described but the result is that the elements are positioned at 0,0 in the parent canvas. here is the code < Window x:Class = " WindowsApplication1.Window3 " xmlns = http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation xmlns:x = http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml xmlns:domain = " clr- ...Show All

• Rush hour Debugging WCF server on Vista RC1 (x64)

  I'm having trouble debugging a WCF server on Vista. It seems that you are not allowed to bind to an adress without elevated privileges, this I fixed (when running *without* a debugger) using e.g http://mark.michaelis.net/Blog/WindowsCommunicationFoundationWithWindowsVistaAndUAC.aspx that is adding a manifest to exe requesting elevated privileges. The problem is, it seems this does not work under the Visual C# (Express) debugger (even though there is a exename.vshost.exe.manifest) with the correct content. I do not get a dialog asking to OK elevated privileges, it just behaves like the the manifest is not there ! ! How do I fix this The thing is, my account has admin privileges, I just don't have them by default. Is this really the ...Show All

• stuart54321 Deploying Outlook Add-In (after following tutorial Part 2) - fixed!

  First off, it's worth saying that VSTO 2005 is excellent both as a product and as supported by all of the great articles and samples. Office has become a very important Hosting environment for enterprise applications and VSTO (and the community) is exactly what we need. I just finally got my Outlook Add-In to work with one-click deployment, but I needed to customize the SetSecurity project referenced in the Part 2 Walk-thru. I added a "trustTargetDir" parameter and when "trustTargetDir" is true, then the AddSecurityPolicy method uses "FullTrust" o the targetDir. In my case, I'm using Redemption.dll because I need to manipulate MAPI Extended Headers, and even though I set the Interop.Redemption.dll als ...Show All

• rolf cerff reporting services report viewer control

  I have a form with a report viewer control.  Everything works as expected except for when you click the print button in the report veiwer.  The print dialog comes up, but then you have to click the print button twice, or click on the dialog somewhere and back on the button in order to print.  It's like the dialog doesn't have the focus when it initially opens.  When it does open title bar looks the same as any other window with the focus.  Anyone else notice this behavior I should add I am using SQL Server 2005 and VS Pro 2005   I have found the following thread regarding this problem.

• Giridhar Damodaram Generating diagrams with Sandcastle?

  Is there any way to create diagrams with Sandcastle I mean like Doxygen generates DOT language and using GraphViz creates diagrams that are embedded to the generated help file. Of course I could use Doxygen, but I kind of like Sandcastles VS2005 layout better. First: Thanks for quick reply! Here is a link to diagrams Doxygen generates: http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/examples/diagrams/html/class_e.html Doxygen generates a DOT language description of the inheritance or collaboration of classes and then passes it to GraphViz. Those simple visualizations are of a valuable tool when bringing a new person to a project that has been in the works for some time. Wrth, ...Show All

• JimmyT7360 Using web services with xbap application

  I have created an wpf browser application that relies on calling a web service. However, whenever I call the web service, I recieve a "System.Net.WebPermissions" error message. The web service is located on a different server. How do I get this to work Thank you for the help. Steve I just want to make sure I understand. Your suggestion is to add to the browser application a wcf client and create a wcf service on the same server, and the wcf service does the bridging to the remote web services. On the service side, I would add the calls to the web services that are hosted remotely as normal. Assuming this is what you meant, I just need to clarify one other item. Does the xbap consider th ...Show All

• friendster WCF service cannot verify incoming message with SAML token

  hi there, I have implemented an STS service using the June CTP and a WCF service/client to use the STS for authentication/authorization. I use wsHttpBinding for the communication between the client and the STS service and wsFederationHttpBinding for the communication between the client and the service. At runtime, the client can retrieve a SAML token from the STS without any problem. However, if the client try to set up a secure session with the WCF service, which is required in the wsFederationHttpBinding, the service throws up an exception "The security protocol cannot verify the incoming message". I use the WCF tracing tool and see that the SAML token is present in the message for the action "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/02/ ...Show All
