• JOshLewis Customized Shape

  Hi all, I'm doing DSL project about Image Processing Graph Editor right now. My question is just simple, can I make a drop-down list for a property in the geometry shape Cheers, Herru Well guys I found it. It is kind of dirty work though. I looked up the example of SDK September, and copied the XML representation of DSL definition. It had something to do with the enumeration, make a new type of property and specify the values of it. It worked, but still a bit inconvinient. If you guys have better ways, please let me know. Thanks. Herru You need to create a new class, which derives from ShapeField and override the EditValue method(s). There you need to instantiate your Combobox, place it on the DiagramClie ...Show All

• EisenB registration of COM dlls fails in dynamic clearcase views

    Hi all, we have a problem, since we migrated from VS2003 to VS2005. Our project contains several COM DLLs, but the registration of these DLLs fail with the error message: error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Performing registration"   Registration on the command line also doesn't work. Our build runs in a dynamic clearcase view. When I copy the build output to local harddisk, then registration succeeds. It also works, if I use a snapshot view, but our build process requires a dynamic view. When I build the DLLs using VS2003, there's no problem registering them in a dynamic view. The account that I use is member of the group administrators, so I don't think that this can be an access ...Show All

• paschott Deploying an Access 2000 application

  I have a copy of Access 2003 -- using it, I converted an Access 97 application to Access 2000. Now I want to create a deployment package for the Access 2000 application -- using the VSTO would be nice. My question: Is it possible to deploy an Access 2000 application using either the 2003 or 2005 version of VSTO Or can you only deploy an Access 2003 or above version Or does it make any difference at all which version you are deploying (As you can tell, I know next to nothing about it!) Thanks! P.S. -- If it is possible, how much does VSTO cost We don't have it, and I can't seem to find anything specific about the cost. I currently have VS 2003 and 2005, Professional editions. Thanks Cindy.  I understand that the ...Show All

• startlet VS 2005 Beta 2 with .new Framework 2 (release) and VS 2005 SDK (October)

  I had VS 2005 Beta 2 installed and working with .net Framework 2 Beta 2. This morning I decided to try out the DSL tools. This required replacing the .net Framework 2 Beta 2 with the released version. Then installing VS 2005 SDK. Eventually I got everything installed. But now VS 2005 won't load. I get the splash screen with the note about the VSIP Licence Required (I read the threads indicating that this didn't mean anything). So will the DSL tools work with Beta 2 of VS 2005 Thanks Chris. Thank-you for your quick reply - I suspected that was the case... have lopt off my feet serveral times :) and wanted to be sure! The new asp and vs updates alone are a must and VS5 is on the board. Again, thank you for your quick reply! ...Show All

• Quimbo Msg Keep Alive

  Hi guys, Does WCF perform any kind of connection keep-alive message scheme For example, if I have a service provider that takes a minute to do some stuff would I have to set the inactivity timeout to be greater than that or will the connection remain active as long as the service provider is performing the operation great forum by the way TZuge I think it is really depends on shape of the channel we are using,if it is request/reply channel,inactivity time will be triggered after we are done with call only. if it is one way channel,behaviour may be different,I will try to test this behavior some time this week -Thank you Madhu ...Show All

Right... but do I have to have VS 2005 Tools for Office installed to prove that I have it This is going to sound really stupid, but I have a proper license that I've never been able to install because I have Office Standard + Access standalone instead of Office Pro (due to a mistake by our volume license provider).

• AndyL Sending a FileInfo object to client

  Hi. I'm having trouble getting a FileInfo object through to the client. First of all, if I add a operations contract on the server that returns a FileInfo object, it all works like a charm - The FileInfo object is received fine on the client-side. But in my setup, the operations contract returns a custom class that COULD hold some FileInfo object inside. Here's my setup: [ DataContract ] public class TypeDef { [ DataMember (IsRequired = true )] private string description; [ DataMember (IsRequired = true )] private string name; [ DataMember (IsRequired = true )] private object data; public TypeDef( string name, string description, object data) { this .Name = name; ...Show All
