• WoFe error: Cannot obtain value

  Hello, When i am debuging my application, i can't read the values of the variables used in the application. I see only the message: "error: Cannot obtain value" as the value. How can i fix this I use the tool visual studio 2005, vb .net and sql server 200. os windows xp   Wouter I've realized that the size and complexity of teh object i'm working on has something to do with it. I'm calling 4 functions (none has parameters) everything goes normal till i reach the 4th function, that's where i won't be able to access the values of my variables. I think that if i split the 4th function into many smaller functions i may avoid this "error: Cannot obtain value" issue, but the pro ...Show All

• simmons Problem on Clearing Dynamically Added Controls

  Hi, In my code below, Grid1.Children.Clear(); does not seem to clear Grid1 of its children. What the code does seem to just display the new string on top of the previous one. How do you solve this private void DisplayHello(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { Grid Grid1 = new Grid(); Grid1.Children.Clear(); // Does Not Seen To Clear Label HelloMsg = new Label(); HelloMsg.Content = "Hello" + AnyString.Text; Grid1.Children.Add(HelloMsg); } ohh .. :) thanks!

• nec4b Bug?

  The following line gives error "Activate method failed" when the oExcel workbook was previously open when the program is run. oExcel.Worksheets( 5 ).cells( nPositions, 1).activate() However, it does work fine when the oExcel object was not open and is opened by the GetObject. All other manipulation of oExcel works fine independently of whether oExcel was previously open or not.

• Pockey ListViewItem selection and focus.

  I have code that enables the drag and drop of a ListViewItem to a Canvas. The problem I have is when the ListView is just populated. I have to select the item once with a mouse click and then again to get the drag to start. If I click on it just once while keeping the left mouse button down it doesn't seem like the item is actually selected yet. I think if I just make sure that the first item in the list is actually selected and focused everytime the list loads I will be fine. Can someone tell me how to do that My listview consists of a gridview with gridviewcolumns bound to an xmldataprovider. Thanks! That didn't work. I think the real problem like you said is that the item won't be selected yet in t ...Show All

• twolfkg Load Test WCF

  What is the best way to test WCF witout using Team Server We have a prototype service in which we have http,tcp and MSMQ endpoints. We can call these services fine and all works as expected. Now we have our service out on a testing server and we want to load test the service and the server to get an idea on production type of performance. We are currently using a little program that spawns multiple threads and logs the start and end time in a database. Is there a better way to load and stress test our service We dont have a generic test tool with WCF; but the community may have some they want to share. What you are doing sounds like a good start. You may also want to change some of the throttling setting ...Show All

• GiampaoloSanRemo About event handler of overlay controls

  I have a slider control coverd with a border control. When i clicked the border, I want to change the slider's value at the same time. So the slider control should also handle the mouse click event, but it cann't because the border control is in front of it. How can i handle both the border and the slider's mouse click event You can't do this easily because events only route up and down the logical tree. Since the Border is most likely a sibling of the Slider in your case, the event will not route. You'll have to handle the mouse click on the border and explicitly update the slider value yourself.

• BobInIndy TreeViewItem: hide item when it is the last node in the tree level

  I have a TreeView and for the TreeViewItem I have created a style with a ControlTemplate in it. One of the elements is a line to connect all the tree nodes (visually, that is). But for the last node in the tree level it should hide this line, because there is no other node to connect to. The way I was thinking to do this, is to set the Visibility of the line element by using a Binding string/statement/whatever it is called: Visibility="{Binding Path=..., RelativeSource={...}}" RelativeSource should then point to a property of some sorts which tells me if the current TreeViewItem is the last node in that level. Is there such a property available Or has anyone done something like this before and knows how to do it ...Show All

• Mike Lee Han Ming Nonserializable base class

  I have run into an interesting scenario and was seeking some guidance. Situation: A base class (used for persistence to a database) is inherited throughout a large framework. The base class itself is not serializable (nothing in it actually needs to be). However, WCF wants the base class marked as Serializable or with a DataContract. The base class is very complex and is part of a third-party library; thus, can't be modified at all. Is there a way to tell WCF to ignore the base class and simply serialize the members marked in the class(s) that inherited from the base class Thanks, Trevor You can try using the OnSerializing/OnDeserializing events to provide serialization for the base cl ...Show All

• ar_pad Addin for Outlook2000

    Does a addin developed using VSTO work in outlook2000   Thanks. Hi "supersonic" Addins can work with multiple versions of Office (although MSFT doesn't recommend it). Best place to ask this would be in the Outlook newsgroups. There are quite a number of Outlook folks that create Addins - both the "traditional" kinds as well as with VSTO. They'll be the best people to give you advice on how best to approach the task. http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx dg=microsoft.public.office.developer.outlook.vba&lang=en&cr=US No the pre-requisites for VSTO 2005 are Office 2003 SP1 or greater. ...Show All

• DARKGuy Virtualized Paging WrapPanel

  I'm building an application that dynamically builds a document with interactive content. For the most part it is used to read and study, but also can be clicked to bookmark certain passages, etc. I have originally implemented this using a dynamic FlowDocument and a FlowDocumentReader. This worked okay with small documents, but had performance problems with large 25+ page documents because of all of the UI that was created on the fly. I am rewriting the document portion so that it only generates a page of content at a time using a wrappanel to flow the content vertically in several columns. This is proving difficult because I can't seem to figure out how many passages to display for the given window size. If there are more than will ...Show All

• shieldy Support for Web Application Project

  Does the Guidance Atomation Toolkit support the new project type "Web application Project" that should be an alternative to the WebSite project type No, it doesn't. However, provided you know the GUIDs and IDs of the command bars exposed by this new project system, you can attach recipes and templates to them easily by specifying that information in the <CommandBar> element. We are having a problem trying to unfold a new .vstemplate project item into a web application project. When unfolding into a library project the Add new item wizard correctly shows my registered GAT package and my item type is pre-selected.

• Thomas Israelsen Performance drop after maximising a transparent window

  Has anyone else noticed a massive performance hit after maximising a transparent window. This seems to continue even after the window is restored to normal. The same app using a non-transparent window has no problems. I am using the June CTP. Using window transparency (AllowsTransparency = true) forces WPF to render and/or compose its content differently. See here: http://blogs.msdn.com/seema/archive/2006/10/25/layered-windows-sw-is-sometimes-faster-than-hw.aspx When you say the window is restored to normal, do you mean normal transparency, or normal (non-maximized) size Also, what OS are you using Thanks, David From what I understand, using transparent ...Show All
