• sl0140 Sum overflow for double type array - Infinity or Double.MaxValue?

  Hi, I've just been playing with the May LINQ CTP and found an inconsistency between the specification and the implementation (or at least I think). Can anyone confirm whether this is a spec or an implementation error, or more likely - my mis-understanding! Spec: 1.16.3 Sum..... An ArgumentNullException is thrown if any argument is null. If the sum is too large to represent using the Numeric type, an OverflowException is thrown or, for double and double , a positive or negative infinity is returned..... I've been writing unit tests and found that in actual fact, double.MaxValue and double.MinValue are returned. Here are some code snippets: PASSES: [ Test ] public void SumDoubleTooBigTest() { ...Show All

• ZopoStyle How to get HDC of a control?

  Hi! Can anyone help me with this: How can I get HDC of any control in WPF Is it possible at all If not, then can I at least place a control (which does some stuff using hdc of a child control) which was created earlier in .NET 2.0 onto a WPF form and perform all these great manipulations (scaling, rotating) Thanx for any help! You can get the handle of the Window of a WPF app using WindowInteropHandler , but WPF controls themselves are no longer windows so they don't have handles. You also can not rotate legacy/iterop'd controls. For more on the limitations of interop, read this section of the SDK . HTH, Drew arcoant wrote: But I just wonder what ...Show All

• vicky_dceian VS.NET dockable tab groups in WPF?

  Has anyone seen WPF classes which support all of the VS.NET 2005 dockable, expander, floating tab groups  I know there are partial classes that support some behavior in the November CTP, but, of course, I'm looking for something thats got it all ready to go. Or perhaps this functionality is so elegantly built into WPF and I'm overlooking it Or, would Microsoft be planning to offer such classes Or, might I go ahead and make some myslef and not have the effort wasted Thanks, Rana We have no plans in the short-term to offer such a control. You may want to ask around to see if others are working on such a thing. thank you Is this still the case I th ...Show All

• AshishGupta vjc throwing an exception

  I do not have this problem when compiling from VS 2005. This started after I uninstalled the J# redist and then reinstalled it using the MSBuild created bootstrapper program (testing it). When I build using nant which calls devenv to build the solution I get the popup asking me what program I want to use to debug vjc because it hit a problem. Even weirder, the compile continues - it does not return an error. But the rest of the projects are not compiled. What is going on and how do I fix it thanks - dave Hi, Could you please answer following questions to help us undersand your problem better... 1.

• xlordt How to measure the size of Children inside Canvas

  I am writing a SVG file importer and am having trouble measuring size of read shapes. The imported objects should look like: < Viewbox Stretch = " Fill " Width = " FinalWidth " Height = " FinalHeight " > < Canvas Width = " InnerWidth " Height = " InnerHeight " > Paths, Rectangles, Canvases, etc. </ Canvas > </ Viewbox > I am using Canvas because the read shapes from SVG file are positioned absolutely. Viewbox is used to resize the imported objects into desired final size or to be able to host Viewbox inside a control that manages the size of its children. In order this approach would work I must set the proper InnerWidth an ...Show All

• juliok Trouble deploying and testing modified WCF Guidance Package

  Hi all, I have been busy modifying the existing asmx and wcf guidance packages to alter the code some existing recipes generate, and add a few more recipes. Testing and debugging the asmx package works with no issues, the modified asmx package has no new recipes, only new actions. However, the wcf package will not pick up on the new changes. After I have de-registered, and registered the guidance package it doesn't seem to pick up on any of the changes. When trying to debug the package, it will complain that it is unable to find the symbols for my new actions and references. I have tried uninstalling the WCF guidance package and reinstalling it with a modified setup file, however, when I do this it complains it cannot find WC ...Show All

• UK_2006 GetObject and Createobject fails with Outlook 2007 RTM

  Hi, I have a VB.NET application (.net2.0). Running on Vista RTM with Visual Studio 2005 I have an application that used to do a GetObject(Class:= "Outlook.Application" ) and it always worked until I upgraded to Vista and office 2007.

• lagu2653 macro to build MSI project - get popup when I set Version property

  OK, I've written a macro to build a MSI project, incrementing the version and setting the productcode GUID. However, as soon as I set the Version property I get a popup saying "It is recommended that the ProductCode be changed if you change the version. Do you want to do this ". I run this macro from the command line as part of an automatde build but this popup stops the build. It didnt do this in VS2003, but it does in VS2005. Any solutions: ways to suppress popups, or anything else Order doesnt seem to matter (ie version before ProductCode or after) Code: Dim prop As EnvDTE.Property Dim propVersion As EnvDTE.Property ' get the project version property propVersion = GetPropertyByName(proj.Properties, ...Show All

• Amjath CR Licensing Requirements

  I am in the planning stages of moving a fairly large app from Access to ASP.NET 3 / C# / SQL Server 2000 and am investigating report generators. I am the sole developer of the app outside of testers and sporadic subcontractors. The new app will have both a Win forms solution and a web forms solution. Using the CR which came with VS 2005, I am wondering what the licensing requirements for my client would be. There will be up to 40 users or so on the Win forms app, and maybe 20 more or so on the web forms app, but I would think that only one or two web users would be connected at a given instant. On the Win forms side, the generation of reports and spreadsheets is pretty intense, so it is easy to imagine up to 20 or so generating reports ...Show All

• Mu0n Call was rejected by callee

  I'm running into a different problem as well here.  I'm getting this error message when I attempt to trigger a custom menu item added by a VSIP Package using the DTE automation. I have a regular winforms application that launches an instance of Visual Studio and gets the DTE object that it exposes through OLE Automation. I have a VSIP Package registered that is essentially a slightly modified ToolWindow that adds a menu to the View menu. I've noticed that the VSIP Package doesnt load up until the menu item is clicked, so as a quick work around, I want to trigger that window just to force the VSIP Package to load up. I'm doing that with DTE.ExecuteCommand("View.MyToolWindowVB"). When this is called, an exception is thrown indicati ...Show All

• Helio D Meta data exchange with indigo webservice

Thanks once again. Hello. I'm not sure that I've understood your question. However: 1) For a char stream, just use the WebRequest class, from the System.Net namespace, to fetch the WSDL using a HTTP GET. 2) For something more structured you can do this: ServiceEndpointCollection sepc = MetadataResolver.Resolve(typeof(<service type here>),new EndpointAddress(<metadata address here>)); The ServiceEndpointCollection is a collection of ServiceEndpoint.
