  Hi Everybody I'm working on building a toolbar in visual studio. The toolbar should include a drop down combo box. I didnt decide yet if I want to use an add in or extension sdk.

• Windows Forms status strip trouble: cant find status panel

  Hi all. When i add a status strip on my form, im only able to add a label, a drop down button, a progress bar or a split button. In some examples that i've found on internet, i saw that there is a "statuspanel" too. the examples is this: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Code/2004/Sept/StatusStrip.asp I simply follow that example, but was unable to locate that status panel. Any help I think StatusPanel was only around in the beta of visual studio 2005, and pulled before the final release. If you really want to add a panel to a status strip you can use the ToolStripControlHost which allows you to host arbitrary controls inside the status stip. E.g. Panel myPanel = new Panel() ToolStripControlHost host ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How To: Attach event handler to element in DataTemplate?

  This question/problem is a little bit esoteric, but hopefully someone has seen it before... I need to attach an event handler to the Loaded event of Image elements within a DataTemplate. The Loaded event handling method is in a utility class, so I can't use XAML to attach the handler. In a Window's Loaded event handling method I call this method in the utility class : FrameworkElementFactory factory = listBox.ItemTemplate.VisualTree; while ( factory != null ) { if ( factory.Type == typeof ( Image ) ) { factory.AddHandler( Image .LoadedEvent, new RoutedEventHandler ( OnImageLoaded ) ); break ; } factory = factory.FirstChild; } There are two problems, one is not too bad (just odd) and t ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Input degrees and coordinate problems

  Hi, I'm a newbie with XNA. I'm about to develop a simple game. I have a spaceship model and a sphere model. I tried to detect if the ships reaches the sphere but even when the ship is "inside" the sphere, the coordinates of the models are very different so the collision will never be detected. How can it be that in the Draw method after setting the World matrix, the models get total different coordinates as if they were using different coordinate systems I thought that translating is moving objects away from the origo (0,0,0). These objects are moved to other locations in the world of course but when they are clearly visible in the same place, how can they have different coordiantes The other problem: I control the ship with the keyboard. ...Show All

• SQL Server Migrating From Development to Production Environment in MSAS 2005

  Hi, I have built a project in Ananlysis Services 2005 and would like to migrate the contents of the Project ( Dimensions, Measures, Cubes Etc) to a New server having analysis Services 2005 , what is the best approach. Does microsoft provide any best practices document. I searched the forum and the topics on migration seem to be from Analysis Services 2000 to Analysis Services 2005, can some one guide me on migration between Analysis Services 2005 and 2005. Thansks A backup and restore (like in AS2000) is certainly possible. This is the only method if you need to get the data cube moved in a processed state (with data).

• Visual Studio Team System Work item description formatting

  Is it possible to have work item descriptions formatted with fonts and colors When I copy/paste a formatted text, it does keep its formatting. But when I save the item, the formatting goes and all I can see is just a plain text. Another point is that it is not practical to enter the description in another program and then copy/paste it to the Team Explorer. Ideally I'd like to have formatting capabilities inside Visual Studio. ...Show All
