• Gage problem orcas converts old sln and vcproj files

  Prior to winfx beta 2 and related orcas release I could work with my older sln and vcproj files just fine and run my non-winfx code. However with the latest orcas release it wants to convert to the newer 9.0 format. Canceling the conversion means you can't work with non-winfx code. Is there a way to turn that off or two have two versions of vs 2005 on the same machine. One with orcas and one without. Hi David, I'm working to get the project folks to take a look at this situation. In the mean time, can you confirm that you're talking about .vcproj files, and not .vbproj or .csproj In other words, this is a question about C++ projects If so, I'll be doubly confused because there are no changes to the ...Show All

• CurtisDeHaven Dispatcher.BeginInvoke and application freeze

  Hi everybody, In my application, I use Dispatcher.BeginInvoke() to allow a long method to be run asynchronously. But this doesn't prevent my application to be freezed during the call of Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(): i click on a button which call the Dispatcher.BeginInvoke() method, but this button (and all of my app) is freezed and i've got to wait before being able to use my app again.... How can I launch a method asynchronously so even if it's a long method, I'm still able to use the app I tought Dispatcher.BeginInvoke() could do it but it looks like not.....

• Shirvo What versions of CR can create reports for CR in VS 2005?

  Hello. Sorry if this question has been asked a thousand times before but I could not find an answer. I am creating an ASP.NET web application where I use the crystal reports viewer (in VS .NET 2005). The customer for the application wants to design own reports for use with the web application. Which version of Crystal Reports should the customer use in order to be able to design reports that will work with the VS .NET 2005 crystal reports viewer I have the Crystal reports 10 developer stand-alone version and I made a report using it. The report shows up ok in my ASP.NET application but is only showing the data that was saved with the report in CR 10. Is this a compatibility problem between CR 10 and the VS 2005 CR viewer or am I m ...Show All

• Mystagogue Am I wrong about WCF usage?

  I have been experimenting with WCF, on and off, for some time and it 'seems' that 99% of the design effort is around B2B communication with 1% on a self-contained applications. I say this because the assumption with WCF interface contracts is that the client-side knows nothing about the business model; thus, the operation contract requires explicit declaration of types. This, from my view, is horrible for uses where a developer is designing a self-contained application. I have hundreds to thousands of classes where 90%+ only need a two interfaces between client and server when generics are applied. Declaring 500+ classes as known types for a data contract is rediculous. Now - thank goodness - there is the NetDataContract which all ...Show All

• Kirk Lipscomb Confused by a Binding/Converter problem....

  I've created a control which uses databinding and a converter class. <local:BitArrayConverter x:Key="bitArrayConverter"/> <local:BestTimeToContactBox x:Name="BestTime" BestTimeToContact = "{Binding Converter={StaticResource bitArrayConverter}, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, Source={StaticResource BTTC}, XPath=/Root/Number}"/> (BTTC definition... <Number>////f2dm////f3R5////fyBi/7//f2dh////f2dr////f2di////HwAA</Number>...) The "BestTimeToContact" dependency property is an array of ContentControls, and the BitArrayconverter takes that Base64 string and transforms it into such. This all works very nicely, just as I hoped. But now I am tryin ...Show All

• Janus007 Bug Fixes

  Hi, Being a developer I know that writing software is a tedious business. I would just like to know how much time is spent by the WPF team going through bugs at the official bug logging site ( connect.microsoft.com) The reason why I am asking is because I logged a few bugs that are really critical for the application we are developing, and I would like a "timeline" as how long the whole process would take before the changes is added in a next CTP (which already to long to wait) or maybe a patch Thank you very much, Jaco Hi, Yes, they are both blocking. Thank you very much for you're assistance, Jaco Both of those issues were entered ...Show All
