• AmitKGupta Certificate usage

  I am trying to use a certificate in my IIS hosted service. This works fine on my local box, but when I deploy to production environment, I get the following exception when trying to run the service. For my local box I have downloaded a program that creates a self install certificate for testing, but I cannot do this in the production environment. We already have a certificate that we use for SSL. The thumbprint value that I am looking for is the value of our SSL certificate. This is new to me, so any help will be greatly appreciated. Here is the exception: Keyset does not exist, which is a Cryptographic exception. And an Argument Exception: The certificate 'CN=legacy.ci.okc, OU=IT, O=City of Oklahoma City, L=Oklahoma City ...Show All

• misexpert Freezable Warning

  I've created a custom panel and implemented MeasureOverride and ArrangeOverride. When the user clicks on one of the panel children it starts a ScaleTransform animation - void ScalePage( FrameworkElement page, Double toValue ) { ScaleTransform st = page.LayoutTransform as ScaleTransform ; if (st == null ) return ; st.BeginAnimation( ScaleTransform .ScaleXProperty, new DoubleAnimation (toValue, TimeSpan .FromMilliseconds(500)), HandoffBehavior .Compose); st.BeginAnimation( ScaleTransform .ScaleYProperty, new DoubleAnimation (toValue, TimeSpan .FromMilliseconds(500)), HandoffBehavior .Compose); } but this results in a mountain of warnings - System.Windows.Freezable Warning: 4 : CanFree ...Show All

• j3ns3n Close the Window in UserControl

  I put a usercontrol in a window. when I click a button in the usercontrol, I want to close the window and show another window. can this be implemented Thanks Thanks, I prefer your second suggestion and will try it later. Do your design constraints prohibit the UserControl from having a reference to the containing Window or the Window knowing about the UserControl If the user control can know about the Window, then just expose a property on the control which the Window sets to itself (i.e. the Window gives the control a refernce to itself). Then the control can just call Close on the Window reference. Otherwise, perhaps you might expose an event on the user control called CloseWindowRequested. The Window would hook ...Show All

• divya mittal plug in model

  Its documented that Wpf doesnt support the plugin architecture. So is there an alternative. our team is currently planning to develop a prod which would involve third party plug ins. We would appreciate if some code is provided to see how feasible it is to our requirements. the architecture would be something similar to that of Eclipse where in the plugins would have control over all elements in the main app. e.g. change appearnce, compiling options, ... There are a few blog postings that discuss creating a plugin architecture for a WPF application. One developer even combined the Composite UI Application Block with WPF .

• Dirk Haest How to make Tree's?

  I need to make something like this: Element |---Group |--Value |--Value |--Group | |---Value | |---Value |---Value |---Group .... but.. Group "can't be embedded in" Group and Element. Adding hierarchies doesn't help... I could make it using relationships, but then, i couldn't use compartments... Thanks, Yes, you can parent a class on more than one class (where 'parented' means being the target of an embedding relationship). The target role of each parent relationship targeting the same class must have a multiplicity of 0..1. So you can now create a tree as you described. Hi, In the current version of the Tool ...Show All

• RYoungx Need help with a Word12 COM Automation

  We are currently hosting Word12 in a Java Swing app using COM Automation. We used a third party tool by Neva (Java2COM) to generate the automation from the Word type lib (.olb). We now have access to the various call-backs from Word via the COM interfaces. What I need is a way to tell if (when ) the user has modified the current document in Word (set the dirty bit of the document). I have pretty much given up trying to find a call-back from Word for this event. I was hoping that it was 'DocumentChange' in the ApplicationEvents4_If interface that Java2COM generated but it looks like this call-back fires when you 'change' to a different document in Word. It would be acceptable if I could make a call via an automation interface to query wheth ...Show All

• suman_chowdary Creating a Hyperlink with Databound text

  I would have thought this question would have an obvious answer, but I've been looking for a couple of hours now: How do I create a hyperlink in WPF where the text displayed is DataBound The only way I've found to do that so far is the following: < TextBlock > < Hyperlink ToolTip = " {Binding Details.Description} " Command = " {Binding Details.Command} " > < Label Content = " {Binding Details.Name} " /> </ Hyperlink > </ TextBlock > But that seems very inelegant, and produces a textblock with far too much spacing. I tried putting a Run element inside the Hyperlink, but the Text property of that cannot be databound. Any ideas ...Show All

• kcdclan Under p2p mode, does WCF insure no message lost?

  The peer mesh will be recombined when some peers join or quit, how can I insure transmiting message would not be lost For exam: In p2p mesh, peer A connected to peer B, peer B connected to peer C. When peer A broadcast one message, the message is transmited by peer B to peer C. If peer B crashed when transmiting meesage, would peer C still receive peer A 's message Hi Hailong, If C is not connected to any other neighbor but B in the mesh, and B crashes while flooding hte message further to C, then you would have to retransmit the message (After waiting for at least a minute to let the internal Peer channel maintenance algorithm to kick in and get C connected to A and thus fix the partition) fr ...Show All

• HKEC Demand Loading of my Add-In

  Hi all, Is there any option to load an add-in to excel on demand. I do not want the add-in to be made visible always or only for specific document. I want this add-in to run only on one instance. Excel allows multiple instance to be open and as well open multiple instance of a document (in read only mode). Is there any way, I could call my addin as a command line parameter while opening Excel.EXE Well, the page you point to specifies this for an Automation Add-in and it's specific to Office 2007, so that switch may not be valid for any earlier version. An Automation Add-in is different than a "plain" COM Add-in (see the Excel Help topic "About add-in programs), so I'm not sure thi ...Show All
