• GaryTrip UpdateSource and UpdateTarget documentation is mssing.

  Would like to know what they do, how to use them, but... ms-help://MS.MSSDK.1033/MS.WinFXSDK.1033/cpref30/html/T_System_Windows_Data_BindingExpressionBase_Members.htm We appreciate the feedback and are super glad to know that someone cares about the docs! You should see this fixed for RC1; it is our goal to have all of the APIs documented by then. In the meantime, you might find the docs for the BindingExpression subclass helpful ( http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/system.windows.data.bindingexpression.updatesource.aspx and http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/system.windows.data.bindingexpression.updatetarget(VS.80).aspx ), along with the Databinding Overview ( http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/ms752347. ...Show All

• Whoisit Multicast with UDP Transport Sample

  I'm trying to use the UDP Transport sample to perform a multicast from a single server app to multiple clients. I'd like the server to broadcast the message on a subnet to any clients that just happen to be listening. My problem is that I can't find any documentation on how to do this using the UDP transport sample. Any ideas or suggestions Thanks. Bruce Bukovics Thanks for the response. I'll give that a try. Bruce Bukovics Author of .NET 2.0 Interoperability Recipes http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html bID=10116 as a matter of fact, we are using WS-Eventing for the pub/sub right now. so far looking very good. as for our case, the live data we use msmq multicast for the quick deliver but we all ...Show All

• DannoCoy Data binding to a control's own properties - best practicies?

  Hello, I'm just getting started with WPF and Xaml, and I'm trying to figure out the proper way of dealing with what I thought would be a common situation. If I have a control, for example something simple that is supposed to just show the name of a colour on a background of that colour: <UserControl x:Class="WPFTest.Test" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Color}"> <TextBlock.Background> <SolidColorBrush Color="{Binding Path=Color}"/> </TextBlock.Background> </TextBlock> </UserControl> Firstly, is ...Show All

• StevenR2 SQL query to LINQ

  I have SQL query: Select * from c_payments Union all Select * from m_payments How can I do the same in LINQ Union requires the same type T for each argument. Try projecting or casting into compatible types. I think Matt means .Concat() not .Contact() . You'll also want to use .Contact() instead of .Union(), since 'union all' in SQL is really a concatentation. Thanks for advice but...

• Koalalalala Channel Model

  Hi, Im trying to dig a bit deeper in the channel model. I can't seem to find a satisfactory explanation on: What is the relation between a ChannelListener, Channel, ChannelDispatcher and EndPointDispatcher. What is the construction sequence when you open a host (also taken into account the channeldispatcher and endpointdispatcher). How is it that a channeldispatcher (linked to a channellistener) can have multiple endpoints. Many thanks in advance for some pointers. Regards, W. Jansoone http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms734665(vs.80).aspx is a nice doc to look at that talks about ChannelDispatcher & EndpointDispatcher. Here is my own quick summary.

• Alvin Kuiper Visual Brush Help PLZ!!

  Hello all, I have this ticker I made and it works fine. A ticker element slides onto a StackPanel and stops at the StackPanel's x coord divided by two. Then it pauses (timer) and then slides off the StackPanel. At that point a new ticker element slides onto the StackPanel. Like I said, works great, but when I try to VisualBrush it onto a simple 3D shape (XAML) it never slides in or out, rather is just streaches itself from huge to normal size and then when it is supossed to leave it streaches itself huge again. SO, basically the 3D shape is never empty, it ALWAYS contains the ticker element. Anyone know how to solve this Thanks, in advance, Victor Hello all, thanks to Anthony we got this to ...Show All

• davidw Using Drillthrough with a tableadapter & stored procedure

  It took me forever to figure out how to use drillthrough with a tableadapter and stored procedure, so I just though I'd share. The drillthrough examples on gotreportviewer.com and elsewhere read data from an XML or from a custom object collection, but no examples showed how to get drillthrough to work with a db, table adapter, and a stored proc, which seems like it would be a much more common usage. So here's my final drillthrough method: protected void ReportViewer1_Drillthrough( object sender, DrillthroughEventArgs e) { LocalReport drillthroughReport = ( LocalReport )e.Report; MyReports_GetRepDetailsTableAdapter repTableAdapter= new MyReports _GetRepDetailsTableAdapter (); DataTable dt = repTabl ...Show All

• Shamirza Sndcastle: why XML docs needed for 3rd party dlls

  Just downloaded and installed Sept CTP for Sandcastle and the Sandcastle help file builder GUI. Immediately ran into either one of two problems - errors about "can't find assembly" on a dependency - insisting on following all the dependencies. - error about not being able to find a .xml file for a 3rd party dll (for which I don't have). Questions - why must all dependencies be resolved - I only want to document the top level classes - why must all the dlls have xml files I got things working by faking out a shell of a .xml file for the 3rd party dll, but unclear on why this these requirements on dependencies/xml files exist. Neil T. Ahh, was not clear on the role of dependencies. Not a lot of docum ...Show All

• E Jensen Changing image displayed by image shape programmatically

  Hi all, The dsl i am working on uses an image shape. I would like to change the image displaed by the image shape at runtime. Is it possible Freddo I cannot think of any way that you can change the image dynamically at runtime. Sorry. I will let you know if I find out about a way to do this. Thanks, Bhavin. Hi Freddo, One way you can try is to create your own geometry (inherited from ImageShapeGeometry) for the image shape(see here ), and override the DoPaintGeometry() method to draw different images at runtime. Regards, Steven Hi Steven, You are right. However, I found that by simply overriding the ShapeGeometry property of my imag ...Show All

• SPWilkinson Dotted Border

  Hi! Is it possible to set dotted style of Border Something like " Rectangle.StrokeDashArray" Hi there, why wouldn't you simply add a Rectangle with Background = Brushes.Transparent and set its StrokeDashArray It's a bit of the overhead, but it fits the purpose. There's no straightforward way of doing this, unfortunately. Part of the problem is that Border allows non-uniform widths, and it's unclear what it means to dash in that case. If you are trying to replicate FocusRect-type functionality, let me know and we go down that rabbit-hole. Otherwise, here are some other thoughts you may wish to consider: First, you can get something that looks somewh ...Show All

• Carl Tribble Invalid DOS Path: T:\VSS\activity.log

  Hi all, I have Visual Source Safe 2005 installed locally on my PC and the srcsafe.ini and database (etc) are all located on a LAN server. I am attempting to add files by dragging and dropping from Windows Explorer into a folder in Source Safe. Every time I add a new file I get the error message "Invalid DOS Path: T:\VSS\activity.log". T:\VSS\activity.log is the server path to the srcsafe.ini file, the activity.log, and so on. I have read/write/access permissions to T:\VSS and I am able to actually get to T:\VSS via explorer and modify and save activity.log manually.
