• Visual C# C# tricky - callback functions like Adobe Acrobat

Now this is guessing!! so any clue as to how to do this with code if you can would be very much appreciated.... Thanks, Tim ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Where to Download XAMLPAD?

  Hi, I am looking for XAMLPAD, does anyone knows the link to download it The closest I could find is XamlPadX v2 at http://blogs.msdn.com/llobo/archive/2006/12/30/xamlpadx-v2.aspx Not sure if this is the correct one Thanks Ponnu I downloaded XamlPadX v2 from the msdn blog that Ponnu posted and I ran the exe and couldn't find it all that user-friendly to create XAML forms so I deleted all the files. Later I found a process running in the background called persentationFontCache.exe which started as a local service. (I use user mode only). Today I did a search for it on my PC and File Not Found .

• Visual C# How to generate a TIff file?

  Hi, I'm trying to generate tiff files from the data in database and save them on the disk. As I'm very new to the .NET image, and I did not find any thing that I can use from the website, can anyone give me some hints Thanks in advance. Yolande I think the trick that you'll find is not to create a TIFF file directly, but to create an image using a concrete implementation, such as a Bitmap. Then when you Save the image, you can specify the format of the saved file as being a TIFF. One of the parameters into Save is an ImageFormat class, which can represent the TIFF file format. I hope that gives you what you're looking for. ...Show All
