• UnknownScripter May CTP install fails on Vista

  I'm trying to install the May CTP on Vista RTM running VS 2005 SP1. The install fails immediately with the following error message: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2738." If I run "msiexec /i "LINQ Preview (May 2006).msi" /log log.txt" and log the MSI install, here is the start of the log, with the errors: === Logging started: 1/13/2007 0:55:38 === Action 0:55:38: INSTALL.

• andyboy23 Com Add-in creating custom events for keyboard Shortcuts

  Hi, I have written a COM Add-in for Office 2003 using C#2005. I have sucessfully added custom events to most of the menu items and tool bar buttons, but, if the request is done via the short cut (F7-Spell check for example), then, my newly created event doesnt fire. I still want to access the shortcuts, but want my event to fire first. Is this possible Thanks in advance Office and VS use commands, from which buttons, menus are created and you can bind keyboard shorcuts to them. While VS gives you access to commands and you can capture events, AFAIK Office applications don't give you such access. Why do you want to set so many event handlers to buttons and menus I understand your re ...Show All

• Ohla Davio how to move ResourceDictionary into separate assembly?

  In a windows app I got a custom control. This custom control has its own style which resides in a separate ResourceDictionary. This does work like it should! Now when I move this control and it's style into a separate assembly, it does not work anymore. The control is still found (using the right namespace in xaml), but the Style is not (and without the style the control does not show anything). I wonder what I need to do to move a ResourceDictionary to a separate assembly. Does it need to be loaded manually Thanks, Sam Woa, I never understood how this works, but again, just after posting my question the answer found me: I needed to add a Luna.NormalColor.xaml file to my separate assemb ...Show All

• briendjf VS 2005 SP1 Beta doesn`t want to install

  I`m not commenting the decision to use windows installer patching system right now (long story short: 1GB of memory wasn`t enough), but after an hour or so the installer doing who knows what atm just died with a very informative message: The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2908. The number was different the first time I think, when I ran out of free space. And as I click OK it just keeps poping again and again. Oh, wait... it`s stopped after 40- or 50-something clicks. Now, after some time, we have this: Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'CppCodeProvider,Version="8.0.0.0",PublicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11 ...Show All

• furjaw <acksTo> set to anonymous even though <replyTo> is not

  Hi We're running a Request-Reply scenario using reliable messaging, but seem to have some problems with WCF setting the <acksTo> header in the CreateSequence message to anonymous. We've tried setting replyTo explicitly, and even though replyTo is not anonymous the acksTo keeps being set to anonymous. Does anyone have an idea of how to make WCF use the replyTo address (or any other address for that matter) in acksTo Thanks, Pat Hi, we're trying to get WCF to interop with Axis 2 (and Sandesha). Axis seems to want AcksTo set to something other than anonymous, so unfortunately it might be hard to get around the problem unless AcksTo can be set. Thanks for the answer! Pat ...Show All

• Jademobile Centering WPF Window over a Win32 owner

  Hello all, I'm attempting to center a WPF window over an HWND. I figure this would be fairly straight forward. Using XAML I set WindowStartupLocation="CenterOwner". Then using WindowInteropHelper I set the WPF window owner to my hwnd (obtained by AfxGetMainWnd()->m_hWnd) then launch the window using ShowDialog. This does not achieve the desired result. The window is not centered over my main app window, however it is displayed on the correct screen (dual display environment) where prior it was not. Any ideas why this behavior If I cannot get this method to work then I'll simply pass in the center of my main app window in screen coordinates and work from there. Thanks, Jamie We understand ...Show All

• kypdash01 VSS Project Size

  Hi, Are there any commands which can give the size of each project in VSS If it can be done programatically can someone please direct me. Thanks The object that represents a project in VSS is IVSSItem. However, the Size property just returns the size of the file that represents the project, not the size of the entire project. You'd have to add up the size of each child VSSItem recursively. Trial and error (backup the DB, destroy a project, compare DB sizes, restore) would probably be faster. ...Show All
