• Arty Saravana Crash of visual studio when model is incorrect

  We use team foundation server as a version tool for our DSL projects. However, since the debugging project runs only in the hive mode and the tfs-plugin is not available in the hive, it is clumbersome to keep the debugging project up to date. If the DSL is changed and you do not have the latest debugging project, then visual studio crashes during start-up if an old model was open the previous time the debugging project was used. The work around is to remode the model(s) from the debugging project, and to recreate them or to obtain their corresponding versions. I think the editor should give an error in the format of a message but a crash is rather drastic. My question is if you can also add some clue about what is wrong. This improve ...Show All

• KonRi Stateful Operation Selection (No OperationContext in IDispatchOperationSelector)

  Hi, You can implement the IDispatchOperationSelector interface to customize the way operations are selected to which incoming messages are dispatched. In my implementation, the selection of the operation depends on the session and is thus for each client different (depending on their respective session state). Unfortunately, the session does not yet seem to exist at the time the SelectOperation() method is called by WCF, i.e. OperationContext.Current is null. However, I need to access the OperationContext because I've stored my stateful information in there on which my operation selection depends. Anybody an idea, how I can access the session state anyway at this point Cheers, patric Hi Patric, Is th ...Show All

• cnceric Image resources, databound

In the DataTemplate used by the ListBoxItems, include an Image element to display the gender-specific image. Bind the Source of the Image to the <Person> element and create a custom value converter which returns a BitmapImage from the Convert() method. If the <Person> is a male, the converter returns one icon, else the other icon. For loading ...Show All

• Guy Burstein Access to Source Code?

  Where can I get access to the ReportViewer source code I can get the .NET Framework source, I can get ASP.NET AJAX source, it stands to reason I should be able to get access to ReportViewer as well. ReportViewer source code is not publicly available. Why not I don't intend to attack the developers, but it's obvious not many resources are attached to this project from the number of issues in the forums, and how "quickly" they are addressed. Microsoft has "Shared Source" licenses already and we are talking about a .NET user control, not an end user product like Word. ...Show All

• Jason Kossowan ping client before sending message

  In the publish subscribe scenario, is there a way for the host to ping the client before sending out a message Specifically, if the host is trying to invoke a method that resides in the client's service, is there a way to find out that the client's service is actually running before invoking that method Nothing deep, they are just C# events you can hook with +=. Something like ((IChannel)subscriber).Faulted += ... // method or delegate that will do _subscribers.Remove(subscriber) in the lock when called I understand, but what is the problem in catching the error and continuing the execution with #8,9 & 10 I also would point out that all the services that you mentioned, work in a p ...Show All

• sxf Create a Template

  Hi, Is it possible to create a Item / Project Template using GAT If yes, could anyone please throw some light on how to go about achieving the same. Thanks, Lahiri   Not sure on the item template, but project for sure. However, GAT is much more than just create templates for you. It allows you to prompt the user for information as they go through the process of creating the new project. If all you want is a basic template, I would suggest sticking with what is provided in VS for you already. However, for a tutorial on GAT I would suggest the following: http://jelle.druyts.net/2006/06/26/GAS01IntroductionToTheGuidanceAutomationJune2006CTP.aspx http://jelle.druyts.net/2006/06/26/GAS ...Show All

• Tyrone Fay What is most efficient way to create the list of image thumbnails?

  Hi! I have a "little" question... ;) I would need to have (kind of) photo-album functionality in my application - it should display thumbnails of images from certain folder (and entering a folder with 2000 images should not bring the system to its knees!), and user should be able to move in that thumbnail view (using keyboard!) and perform some actions. Problem is, that there are so many options in all respects (what should be the container, how to get thumbnail of the images, how to do it asynchronous - so that folder with 2000 images would not block whole machine, etc.), that it is difficult to choose something In your opinion, what would be the most efficient way to do this Thank you very muc ...Show All

• OOC&amp;#35; Debugger 'corrupts' program flow

  I am new to C# and VS2005 - please excuse if this is covered elsewhere. I am developing a system modelling programme that uses a windows gui to build and manipulate a hierarchical class structure. Constructing instances of objects works fine but editing existing instances does not. Program flow based on main form - edit requested via main form function. - edit form constructed and shown from within overriden class method. Forms work fine until edit process is debugged. Setting breakpoints before form constructed and within edit form work. Setting breakpoint after form causes form to show as blank or not at all. Programme will jump to breakpoint without allowing interaction with form. Its as if the compiler has optimised form out of ...Show All

• dakerson How does one hook custom events into Xaml?

  I'm trying to implement a Data Binding layer to protect my UI from business logic dependencies. I'm using XAML to bind a control (TextBox in this case) to a datasource, which works just fine so far. However, the underlying datasource fires a custom event. The UI needs to catch this event and act on it (enable some controls). If I use code behind to register for the event and catch it, then I'm breaking the markup/code separation. How can I register for and catch a custom event strictly in XAML code Note1: Just to make it intgeresting, the event is a generic that derives from AsyncCompletedEventArgs Note2: The event will be coming in on a separate thread. I don't suppose there is any infrastructure in place to take ...Show All
