Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Drag and drop ListViewItems to another UIElement(Canvas).
Does anyone have a good example on how to accomplish this I have a tried an fews things with no success and haven't been able to find any good examples. Duh, I think I just realized the difference I am binding to an XMLDataProvider for my list items instead of your example were you specify the listviewitems. Can you try this <ListView local:DragDropManager.DragSourceAdvisor="{StaticResource sourceAdvisor1}" ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource DataRows}, XPath=row}"> IE... Set up an XMLDataProvider with something like... < XmlDataProvider x:Key = " DataRows " XPath = " / " > < x:Data > < root > < row > t ...Show All
Software Development for Windows Vista Service started very late in Vista?
I have a service program with OWN_PROCESS, AUTO_START, no any dependency. This service works on Vista as well as w2k/wxp, except the Vista start it in a very late statement. In w2k/wxp, my service program can start before user logon. But in Vista, even the user has logon, it takes about 40 or more seconds before my service program start running. My PC is Celeron 3.0GHz, with 1GB RAM, I don't think it's the hardware's problem. Since my service is one part of the drivers for an input device, this is very important for me to load the service ASAP. Does any one know how to boost the load order for this type of services I have the same problem in Vista. My service is sometimes started after my process, that actually depends on m ...Show All

Visual Studio Tools for Office Question regarding VSTO Excel Worksheet
Hi all, My question is this. Is there a way to disable the default context menu when you right click on a cell on a worksheet. I want to disable the default context menu and have my own custom one. I was able to create a custom context menu, but I cannot control the location where the context menu is displayed. What property in the Target(the argument in the event handler) will allow me to know what cell was selected. Thanks ahead for the help, David To disable the default context menu, In the BeforeRightClick event handler for the NamedRange, set "Cancel= true" Target.Cells.Column, Target.Cells.Row should contain the cell that was right clicked on. Hope this helps, -Devin ...Show All
Software Development for Windows Vista pass paramters to InvokeWorkflow Activity
I am invoking a workflow from within a workflow. How can i pass in parameters Angel, I would like to extend your example in 2 ways: a) Can I add your InvokeWorkflowActivity sample code to a CodeActivity Execute method ...i.e. is there a way to not only programmatically create and configure the InvokeWorkflowActivty but to also directly execute it from, say, a CodeActivity If so, now b) If the workflow I'm invoking is a StateMachineWorkflow, can I use the ParameterBindings to override the InitialStateName for the new instance of the state machine workflow Thanks, Michael. ...Show All

Visual Studio Tools for Office Add-In problem
I have developed an add-in for Outlook 2003 with VSTO. I have deployed it on my laptop and it works fine with the exchange server at my company. I have also installed it at my customer, on their network on a computer with a new account in my name. The Add-in works fine and I can read and create new items. I use Cached Exchange Mode. When the Add-In is installed on the sales force's computers the Add-in loads. The problem is that it can't read any items. I still can create new items. If I turn off the Cached Exchange Mode I can read the items but that causes other problems and is not an alternative for my client. They use the same exchange server as I do when the Add-In works using my account on the customer network. Possible causes t ...Show All
Software Development for Windows Vista CallExternalMethod in Code-Only and Code-Beside Workflows
I have created two identical workflows that use a CallExternalMethod activity. I'm using .NET 3.0. One workflow is code-only and the other is code-beside. When I configure the CallExternalMethod activity, I see that the Data field in the Properties pane works differently for the two workflows. On the code-only workflow I can specify a member of my workflow class as the data to be passed. I see "Name" and "Path" sub-fields in the Properties pane. On the code-beside workflow I cannot seem to specify a member of my workflow class as the Data to be sent. Also, I do not see the Name and Path sub-fields in the Properties pane. I have checked the help and searched the forums and I can't find any documentation fo ...Show All

.NET Development XSD causes the transformation to fail?
I'm new at XSLT and I have a problem: I'm trying to create a stylesheet with, as input: <Events> <Event datetime=" 2006-10-13T11:20:00 "> <Title>blabla</Title> <Text>blabla</Text> </Event> <Event .... </Events> as parameters: $date ; $num as output: an XHTML showing the first $num elements whose date is > than $date In my mind the approach will be to order the elements and do a foreach with a if statement to query the elements with a suitable date ... but I need a variable to store the num of elements selected and exit the cycle...
