• Troy Lundin storyboard animation in DataTemplate

  I'm trying to define a DataTemplate to make an image rotate when I move the mouse cursor over it, and snap back when I leave the area again. This works fine with an EventTrigger defined on the Image in the template. But there's a little problem: I move the mouse cursor over the image, and it starts rotating. At some point, the rotating image is not under the cursor anymore, so the "MouseLeave" is triggered and the image snaps back. Which causes the "MouseEnter" to fire... Not really what I wanted. So, I now want to trigger the image animation by mouse events on an enclosing Border element. Here's the template code: <DataTemplate x:Key="RotatingImage"> <Border Background="Blue" Bo ...Show All

• Andreas Asterlund AutoParse Equivalent on Cider SplitView?

  Thanks to all concerned at Microsoft for the latest Cider CTP - I think SplitView is going to make life much easier. However, I've got a question: what's the most efficient way to tell Cider that I'd like it to parse what I've type in so far in the XAML and reflect that in the view Right now the simplest approach seems to be to click in the view - that causes it to update. But that requires me to take my hands off the keyboard and use the mouse, which is a real pain. (Particularly compared to XamlPad where I don't have to do anything to get it to parse.) The view doesn't seem to support the usual Ctrl-PgUp/Ctrl-PgDn keypresses for moving between views on a single tab. (This lets you flip between HTML and design mode on a web page, ...Show All

• BJ Custard Querying the Solution status !

  I'm trying to build a tool that checks references inside projects to be up-to-date against some dlls inside a directory. My first problem would be - querying the IDE if any solution is loaded - how can i do that Another issue (i know i should put it to another thread - but here goes) is that i will be needing a way to configure my add-in - and i haven't got any idea how to do that (i would not like to create another add-in just for that): cand i somehow add a new node in Tools > Options to do just that. Waiting for new ideas to fly around ! Bye ! Got it ! The answer was really simple in fact - but i was a bit buzzeled about my first add-in - i had to get the Solution using the DTE2.Solution and then ...Show All

• p4Pratik The ITransactionLocal interface is not supported...

  Hi: I'm trying to use Access 2003 database in a WCF transaction. I got the error message "The ITransactionLocal interface is not supported by the 'Microsoft.Jet.OleDB.4.0' provider. Local transactions are unavailable with the current provider. I guess that Jet provider doesn't support System.Transactions. But is there a way to make Access 2003 database coorporate with WCF transactions Thank you! in WCF,we just pause transaction context in the soap message,so receiving app can take transaction context and join distributed transaction (This is not different from COM+/MSDTC model) As i know,Access can't partcipate in distrubuted transaction(I am not very sure,but i never seen anybody doing distributed transaction ...Show All

• Dylan Smith Problems with simple App

  Hi, I tried a first little WPF App some days ago, but unfortunatelly failed very soon to get anything going. Hopefully somebody can tell my what I did wrong: The project is somewhat similar to a Progressbar: You specify a percentage and get a bar, that has it's length based on that percentage. So you see extremely simple. I'm using code exclusively, no xaml. First thing I tried was using a Rectangle, which worked fine (including an animation). When setting the Value of the Bar I simply calculated how many pixels in size it should be and set that. The problem was: As soon as you resize the element containing the Bar it doesn't rescale - which makes sense - but I did not find a way to trigger the recalculation for rescaling and did ...Show All

• dizzyjay Is there a way to specify the namespace in the DLinq Designer?

  I am referring to the May 2006 CTP. Am I missing it Or is it not there If not, it seems like a necessary feature. Without it, some may be forced into editing the generated code. I see a setting for naming the DataContext. This seems like a natural place to be able to edit the namespace. Thanks.

• zivpeleg Adding new operators

  Can I extend the LINQ language with my own operators or aggregates For instance if my database supports spatial objects (points, lines, polygons, etc), can I add spatial operators like 'Intersects', 'Within', 'Crosses', DistanceTo etc. The workaround would involve creating a server-side sproc or function, and mapping that. You can add your own operators to LINQ by creating your own extension classes in just the same way that the standard query operators are defined. You cannot, however, extend DLINQ to recognize and translate these to SQL. Unless, of course, you implement your own DLINQ provider. Thanks. Do you know of any examples on how to create a DLINQ provider ...Show All

• ramesh_1031 DataType specific DataTemplates for XML data

  Hi everybody. I am trying to bind data from a XML file to a control using custom DataTemplates for various different XML elements (different tags). The problem is, that the DataTemplates are not applied to the the XML elements of the tag name specified in the DataType attribute. Below you will find some XAML code. Most of it is from the CompositeCollection SDK sample. I mimimalized and changed it to illustrate only the problem of interest. Desired behaviour: Jason , Hercules , Bellerophon (Hero tag) should be displayed in cyan Theseus , Odysseus , Perseus (Hero2 tag) should be displayed in blue However, it simply doesn't work. (I am using the latest September 2006 CTP.) You can reproduce the problem simply by star ...Show All

• Normand43 Videostream

  Hi all. Been looking around with the aim of writing an app that can both preview and stream webcam video, but appear to have fallen at the first hurdle. All the information I can find seems to be older, using either native calls or DirectShow to perform this, but I've been told that the framework now supports using a WebCam. Anyone got any information on how to use a webcam preview, and maybe how to go about streaming it over a network Thanks! to create a stream, you should use Windows MediaEncoder. you'll be able to choose the web cam as a source and a url as a target. plus it has an SDK, so you could automate part of it if necessary. MediaElement supports URLs ...Show All

• Jabber Scrollviewer issue - Incorrectly renders child grid columns.

  Here is the problem. If I specify 'auto' for the Horizontal and Vertical scroll on the scrollviewer, my grid somehow doesn't keep the first column locked at 150 px. If I take those attributes off the scrollviewer my grid look correct but I obviously don't have scrollbars anymore. This is frustrating. Help! The following code makes Grid1's first column at least half the width of the total width of the grid itself (Which in my case is wider than my screen width). If I take the attributes off, it the first column is 150 px like it is supposed to be. <ScrollViewer ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"> <Grid> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> ...Show All
