• Tryst Failed to convert Parameter Value from a Byte[] to a Datetime?

  hey sync'ers... anyone having trouble with converting Btye's to DateTime problems I have stepped through every line and double checked both the client and server db's and cannot isolate this error in code... hopefully i'm being an idiot and someone can look at the below and tell me so... the exception is above the sync call below somewhere... i've tried datetime instead of DbType .Binary with no success... anyone else have this problem solution Thanks!

• renotiko01 Application.LoadComponent() for unreferenced assemblies

  Application.LoadComponent() works well for xaml files that are inside referenced assemblies (ie. added as a project reference). I have a specific scenario where my assemblies will be stored in a subfolder but are not referenced. I still need to be able to call LoadComponent() to load the xaml files inside those assemblies. Is this possible or an unsupported scenario Note that my assemblies would be in a subfolder, relative to the application. I haven't been able to find a solution in the SDK docs. This scenario is a core requirement for the plugin architecture that I am building. Anyone dealt with something like this before Interesting...I was not aware of the performance problems with Activator.CreateInstance(). Will stick to the ...Show All

• Nick Mc Child table not updating correctly?

  I have a person object, which has via a foreign key an address table attached to it in the LINQ designer. The address table has an addresstype which comes from a types table via a Foreign Key as well. When I create an instance of a person, and check the first address typeID I get a value of 4. Via my interface I change the value to 6 (a valid value in the types table), I can query the Address object and it will tell me it's set to 6. However, once I commit the changes via DBContext.SubmitChanges() the value rolls back to 4 in my local instance. I see not Exceptions being thrown.. and I'm just wondering if there is a bug somewhere in LINQ that isn't allowing the sub-tables for a given object to be updated properly Thanks. Jim ...Show All

• Jim Perry Bind to a particular row and column of a dynamic grid?

  (Originally posted in the ...developer.winfx.avalon newsgroup, but this forum seems a little more lively.) I'm new to WPF, so perhaps I'm going about this the wrong way. I'm trying to create a grid that contains a collection of objects. The number of rows and columns of this grid is dynamic; ideally those properties would be bound to a couple of properties of a custom object. The position of the objects within the grid would ideally be bound to properties of those objects themselves. A Grid allows items to be bound to particular rows/columns, but the total number of rows/columns must be static (at least, from a pure XAML perspective). The UniversalGrid allows binding to the total number of rows/columns, but items cannot be bou ...Show All

• Philippe Cand Explaination of different timeout types

  When I configure a binding I can overwrite several default timeout settings. For example there are: OpenTimeout CloseTimeout SendTimeout ReceiveTimeout InactivityTimeout ... What exactly does each timeout stand for The WCF documentation says "...timeout for an open operation to complete..." for the OpenTimeout for example - but what does this mean exactly Maybe some of you can bring some light in this Especially I want to know, which timeout to configure to achieve the following: A client tries to connect to a server service, but the server is not running at the moment - the caller should recognize this immediately. Which timeout do I have to minimize Regards Bastian This blog entry tou ...Show All

• traderhen What is the lastest drop and when is the next one scheduled?

  Takes me half a day to upgrade to latest CTP/RC. Need to schedule the time. Please advise. Thanks Hi Nick, The current release is the September CTP that matches the September CTP of the .NET Framework. Details are here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=761766&SiteID=1 The next release (October CTP) is imminent, most likely late this week. In the mean time, could you say more about why it takes a day to update to the latest CTP of Cider We obviously don't intend or expect the process to take that long :-) thanks, chad (half-day) although I'm not blaming it on the Orcas stuff. The general process for me is:   Read release notes to see what works with what (there ...Show All

• aoky Is LINQ in its current state (may CTP) useable to develop with?

  Was going through alot of threads, but i didnt see any concrete answer to my question. I am about to start development on a server where we in the future would like to use LINQ. Would it be advisable to start using the LINQ may CTP or are many things destined to change so we would have been just as good, if not better off going with ADO.NET untill the final release of LINQ is available, and then rewrite it to use LINQ It is abolutly and 100% usabel to DEVELOP with. Point is it is not usable enough to deploy anything - on top of the legal hassles that you are not allowed to. But if you for example work on a long term project that may require / take advantatage of LINQ - there is nothing stoppping yo ...Show All

• Christoph M&amp;#252;ller Outlook 2007 Form Regions

  Hello Outlook 2007 has the feature of form regions that let you customize views by intorducing the concept of userform. What I had noticed is that userforms has a couple of limitations besides a nice RAD-enabled GUI. So the questions goes here as I found no useful information in this forum, nor in the usergroups. 1. Is it possible to use third party controls like Infragistics/etc inside outlook userform If yes, how it will be, If no, then what is the alternate way to come up with 2. In VS IDE, can I add a custome usercontrol into the controls collection of userform dynamically at run-time like this.userform.controls.add(...); Thanks in advance.

• ktm300 Support for both 2003 and 2007

  Hello, Sorry if this has been asked before, but basically I need to create an Outlook add-in that will work with both Outlook 2003 and 2007. Is this possible or do I need one control library for my common functionality and one add-in project for each version If so then how do I get the control project to differentiate between which version it is working with (presumably I need to reference two different DLLs for the two versions) You will really want to create one core library and two separate add-in projects for 2003 and 2007. This architecture will let you take advantage of the different User Interface options in Outlook 2003 and 2007. You will find that development, testing, and deployment scenarios w ...Show All

• lemonash VS 2003 devenv.exe as a scheduled task hangs during clean step after vs2005 install

  Ok, Hope this is the right place. We have a large solution 70+ projects and we automate the build process via scheduled tasks. Now several machines (all dual core), after having vs.net 2005 installed, fail to complete this process. I've narrowed it down to the clean step. To reproduce this I have scheduled a batch file as a different user (we use to build) and all it does is clean. When I run the task, devenv.exe hangs and spins one cpu to 100% at the end when it should exit. NOTE: This is not the 2005 version of devenv that runs, rather 2k3. and test is a dir containing the sln and projects. Here are the contents of the batch file. ---------------------- CALL "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NE ...Show All

• bitskull Setting foreground and background to be the same when a control is disabled

  Can someone suggest XAML code that would set the foreground and background of a control (say a TextBox) to be the same when it is disabled as it was when it was enabled. I mean if the Background was white and Foreground was Black when the TextBox was enabled, if the TextBox is disabled, the Background and Foreground should remain the same and not be grayed out. you can do something like this(removed the trigger which changes the colors when the textbox is not enabled) < Style x:Key = " {x:Type TextBox} " TargetType = " {x:Type TextBoxBase} " > < Setter Property = " SnapsToDevicePixels " Value = " True " /> < Setter Property = &q ...Show All
